Niuminco Group Limited has now completed the second ho EDD 025, of the planned 10 hole drilling program of the potential bulk-tonnage Karuka-Enterprise stock-work and diatreme zone. The hole was finished at a depth of 126.5 metres. This target has a strong gold anomaly defined by 1,366 continuous chip samples of weathere rock outcrop in trenches over a cumulative length of 2,732m, which averaged 0.53g/t Au. This sampling was confined to a broadly elliptical shaped zone with dimensions 600m by 300m. The Screen Fire Assay results for drill-hole EDD 024 have confirmed the presence of coarse gold by showing a weighted average grade of 1.72g/t Au for the first 48m, and demonstrated gold values to a maximum of 0.2g/t Au in a number of sections throughout the balance of the hole. This low order tenor was consistent throughout the sections assayed, indicating that the concept of a large disseminated gold-bearing system is correct. These results will assist in further drill-hole targeting for the balance of the program.
