23,000 meters (75,000 feet)
VANCOUVER, Oct. 11 /CNW/ - El Nino Ventures Inc. ("El Nino") (TSX.V: ELN;
OTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q) is pleased to announce that a 23,000 m (75,000
ft) drill program has commenced on the Bathurst Zinc/Base Metals Mining Camp.
The first of three drill rigs is already turning in the West Camp area, with
two additional drill rigs ready to go in mid-October and early November. This
drill program will be continuing through until March 2007.
About Titan 24: Deep Earth Imaging
The Titan 24 Deep Earth Imaging system is the most advanced electrical
earth imaging technology to date. Titan 24 has been designed to serve the
needs of exploration companies looking to make precise property evaluation
decisions.
Titan 24 measures the parameters of DC (resistivity), IP (chargeability)
and MT (magnetotelluric resistivity. This system can measure down to depths of
750 meters (2,460 feet) with IP, and can explore beyond 1.5 kilometers (down
to about one mile) with MT data. These depths and multi-parameter data make
the Titan 24 one of the best option available for obtaining pre-drilling
information related to geological features at depth.
A partially completed MT/IP Titan 24 survey conducted over the "Brunswick
Horizon", between Brunswick No.12 and Brunswick No. 6 (past producer)
indicated several interesting geophysical signatures that will require follow-
up work and diamond drilling. MT/IP Titan 24 results over the Mount Fronsac
North property indicate encouraging results while the Camel Back survey is
presently in progress. The second drill rig is scheduled for mid-October to
follow-up already targets in the Carboniferous area and the third drill will
be brought in sometimes in early November as the final interpretations for
these MT/IP Titan 24 surveys become available.
