Nuinsco Resources announced that it is currently conducting the 7,500 meters diamond drill campaign at the Berta Project which is a copper porphyry located in Turkey. Xstrata Copper Canada, the JV 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 gram per tonne gold and 0.28% copper over 710.9 meters in DDH SD-07-08; and 0.06 gram per tonne gold and 0.20% copper over 164.0 m in DDH SD-08-10.

Mr René Galipeau CEO & vice chairman of Nuinsco said that “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.”
