Sinivit High Grade Gold Zone Continues to Expand With Intersection of 8m at 36.7g/t Gold
A further 35 Reverse Circulation drill holes have been completed in the Central and Southern oxide gold zones Sinivit. The best intersection was 8m at 36.7g/t gold within a wider interval of 14m at 23.5g/t gold in hole SGC0215. This intersection commenced at surface and was stopped in 4.2g/t gold mineralisation at 14m depth. All intersections are shown in the Table and include numerous other wide intersections such as 20m at 8.0g/t gold in hole CGCC070. Many holes terminated in gold mineralisation greater than 0.5g/t gold.
"Our definition drilling continues to expand the oxide cap at Sinivit, where mining is presently occurring," said Bob McNeil, Chairman and CEO. "Drill holes in the Central Gold Zone (CGC holes) are now defining previously undiscovered oxide gold mineralisation. Holes SGC214 and SGC215 in the Southern Gold Zone further extended the high to very high grade gold zone encountered in previously reported holes." These drillholes are vertical Reverse Circulation holes and are drilled on a nominal 6m by 6m grid. True thickness of intersections is uncertain. All results will be incorporated into the Surpac derived Pit Block Model. Hole location data was reported in Press Release on Sinivit dated 20th August 2008. Holes SGC0194 to SGC205; SGC208; SGC211; SGC212; and CGC079 intersected low grade mineralisation in the range 0.05g/t gold to 0.5g/t gold. All samples are partly prepared at site by splitting to 500 grams. Further preparation and analysis is completed at accredited laboratory, ALS Chemex laboratories, in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. NGG is mining the oxide cap of a quartz, telluride, copper and gold system. The Company has an active exploration/development program with the objective of defining additional gold mineralization. The known mineralization is open at depth and there are numerous other, as yet unexplored, targets within the Sinivit properties.
