Nevada Copper-Drilling Expands the North Deposit With Significant Copper Intercepts

Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) ("Nevada Copper") recent drill results continue to confirm continuity and expand copper mineralization in the open pit North Deposit, at its 100% owned Pumpkin Hollow Copper Development Property located in Nevada.
Follow-up step-out drilling of previous drill hole NC08-20 (236 meters at 1.03% copper) has been extremely successful in extending mineralization along the southern boundary of the North Deposit. NC08-40 was drilled 60 meters to the south and intersected several large mineralized zones including: 68.3 meters (216.5 ft) averaging 0.63% copper and 82.9 meters (272.0 ft) averaging 0.58% copper. Additionally NC08-41 drilled 60 meters east of NC08-20 intersected 192 meters (629 ft) of mineralization greater than 0.3% copper including: 62.8 meters (206.0 ft) averaging 0.65% copper and 59.4 meters (195 ft) averaging 0.67% copper.
Mineralization also remains open on the eastern boundary of the North Deposit. Drill hole NC08-35, drilled as a step-out, intersected 50.8 meters (166.5 ft), averaging 0.45% copper. NC08-35 and previously drilled NC08-12 continue to show that the additional drilling to the East has been successful in expanding mineralization. Drill hole NC08-30 drilled as an infill hole, intersected 75.6 meters (248.0 ft), 43.3 meters true thickness, averaging 0.96% copper. The drill hole as expected confirmed the down-dip continuity of mineralization.
