Nanika Resources Inc. (TSXV:NKA) and (FSE:C7X) has announced that it has received all core sample results from its drilling program conducted on the INDI property near the Town of Stewart, British Columbia in November and December of 2010.
All assays were completed by Activation Laboratories -- a certified Canadian Laboratory based in Ancaster, Ontario. During the program strict quality control measures were followed which included the insertion of certified blanks and standards. In total, 7 holes from 4 pads were completed totaling 1000 metres. Highlights from the results reported here are 1.02 grams per ton gold over 12.19 metres in hole SC10-2.
The INDI property shares many of the geologic characteristics of the adjacent Silver Coin property currently operated by Jayden Resources Inc. (TSX:JDN). It has been established by previous work that the mineralization on Silver Coin extends onto the INDI property.
Nanika was operating the current INDI work program pursuant to the terms of a joint venture agreement with Jayden Resources Inc. (TSX-JDN) and Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (TSXV-MTB) that includes the INDI 9 - 12 claims. Under the terms of the agreement the interests of the non-participating parties in work programs will be diluted.
Nanika will within the next quarter review the status of the joint venture agreement and the interests of the parties.
Nanika's future plans for the INDI property include the possibility of further drill programs or a bulk sample on those areas already explored as well as sampling and trenching on those areas not yet explored. No decision on further exploration has been made yet, however, Nanika intends, at this time, subject to financing, to continue exploration of the INDI property, with or without the participation of the joint venture partners.
The INDI and Silver Coin properties share many of the geologic characteristics of the nearby Silbak Premier Mine which is approximately 3 kilometres south of Nanika's November and December 2010 drilling. Over its mine life, the former Silbak Premier Mine produced approximately 1.8 million ounces gold, 41 million ounces silver, 4.2 million pounds copper, 62 million pounds lead and 20 million pounds zinc until closing in 1996.
