Nebu to Commence Drilling at its Beehive Property, in the Prolific Timmins Gold Camp
07 October 2010 - 12:31AM
Marketwired
Nebu (TSX VENTURE: NBU) is pleased to announce a diamond drill
program on its strategic, high priority Beehive Property in Ogden
and Deloro Township, near Timmins Ontario.
The Beehive Property (the "Property") consists of 11 patented
mining units in the Timmins Mining Camp for a total of
approximately 440 acres.
The property lies immediately to the north of the Nabob
(Kennilworth) mine which operated between 1932 and 1964 producing
just over 50,000 ounces of gold and is reported to still host a
resource of 135,500 tons grading 0.25 ounces gold per ton in the
North Zone and 600,000 tons grading 0.20 ounces gold per ton in the
South Zone.
The McEnaney Mine to the west of Beehive was also known as the
Hollinger Reserve Property. The 200 foot shaft was completed
between 1911 and 1914. The property is reported to host some
170,000 tons of ore of variable grade to the 300 foot level.
The 3000-meter program is intended to explore the potential for
the south-western portion of the property to host the extension of
the gold mineralized zone extending from the southeast at the
Naybob Mine currently being explored by Metals Creek and Goldcorp.
The secondary target is to explore the potential along strike from
the historic Desantis and McEnaney gold mines located to the west
of the west boundary of the Beehive property.
Subsequent to entering into the option agreement, the Company
discovered that the property had been optioned by Hemlo Gold Mines
in the 1980's that resulted in the discovery of what became known
as the Border Gold Zone apparently discovered in 1984.
"Available reports and drill logs from the Hemlo exploration
work show the evidence of very strong alteration and warrants
further exploration", commented Bruce Durham, P.Geo and the
Qualified Person for the Company.
In addition, Nebu's analysis of the prior exploration programs
has concluded the following:
- Very little of the Hemlo Gold drilling targeted the
north-westerly strike extension of the Naybob Mine gold zone on the
Morin property;
- None of the Hemlo Gold drilling targeted the down-dip
extension of the Naybob Mine gold mineralization on the Morin
property;
- Only one hole was drilled in the general vicinity of the
interpreted location of the easterly extension of the Desantis and
McEnaney gold mine horizons.
Nearby Activity
- Diamond drilling is currently underway on the Desantis Mine by
Lateegra, 1800 meters due west of the Morin property west
boundary.
- The McEnaney shaft is located only 500 meters to the west of
the Morin west boundary.
- Metals Creek, on their website, report non 43-101 resources at
the Desantis Mine as being 405,000 T @ 5.29 g/t and at the McEnaney
as being 190,000 T @ 5g/t.
- At the Naybob Mine which Metals Creek holds under option from
Goldcorp they report non 43-101 resources as 1MT @0.129 oz/t.
Metals Creek has also announced the results of drill holes drilled
very close to their mutual boundary with the Company that include
assays up to 7.47 g/t gold over 1.0 meters. The Company believes
the strike extension of this mineralization trends onto the Beehive
property and remains completely unexplored.
Other Nebu Exploration Activity
The Company also reports that the balance of the holes drilled
on the South Denton and Bonanza properties yielded no significant
assays.
