Nuinsco Resources has reported that it is currently conducting the 7,500 m diamond drill campaign at the Berta Project, which is a copper porphyry located in Turkey. Xstrata Copper Canada, the joint venture partner of Nuinsco, is operating the work campaign. This project is supposed to be the main copper anomaly found in the Turkish Pontides metals belt.
The company will collar up to nine diamond holes during a work campaign, which follows on the extensive and anomalous mineralization of copper discovered during the former drill programs.
The drill program will concentrate on the regions that were not drilled formerly. Strong copper-in-soil anomalies overlay on these areas. The company encountered encouraging results from the previous drilling campaigns that were carried out between 2005 and 2008. It intersected 0.07 g/t gold and 0.28% copper over 710.9 m in DDH SD-07-08; and 0.06 g/t gold and 0.20% copper over 164.0 m in DDH SD-08-10.
According to Nuinsco's CEO and Vice-Chairman, René Galipeau, the Berta project has been confirmed to be a potential project, which warrants additional drilling. The company announced that this year’s drill campaign is being advanced by Xstrata, specifically in view of present measures undertaken for cost-saving and industry cutbacks.
The location of the Berta project is roughly 50 km towards the Black Sea’s southern part located in Northeast Turkey within the productive Tethyan-Eurasian Metalogenic mineralized belt hosting numerous ore deposits in a number of countries.
Nuinsco Resources is a multi-commodity and growth-oriented mineral exploration firm, which targets exclusive mineralized belts located in Canada and worldwide.
