Nuinsco Finalizes Agreement on Egyptian Gold Concession Field Exploration to Begin on Bukari Gold Property This Fall
Field Exploration to Begin on Bukari Gold Property This Fall
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/09/10 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ('Nuinsco' or 'the Company') (TSX: NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that it has finalized, through its Egyptian subsidiary Z-Gold Resources Limited ('Z-Gold'), a concession agreement with the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (EMRA) covering the Bukari gold Concession Area located in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.
'Finalizing this agreement with EMRA is a major step toward gaining tenure at Bukari,' said Paul Jones, President. 'Having a signed concession agreement enables Nuinsco to begin a gold exploration program, which is expected to commence with initial field work this fall in a region that has historically produced millions of ounces of gold, and where millions more are now in production.'
The concession agreement, which incorporates a production-sharing agreement and exempts the Company from payment of all taxes, will now be reviewed by the Egyptian State Council before being passed into law by the Egyptian Parliament followed by grant of tenure. The entire process is expected to be finalized over the next several months.
Completion of this concession agreement will provide the framework to complete a second concession agreement on the Umm Samra gold property. Both Bukari and Umm Samra are located in the highly prospective Eastern Desert approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Centamin Egypt Limited's ('Centamin') flagship multi-million ounce Sukari Gold Mine (see map attached) which is expected to produce 200,000 ounces of gold in 2010. Apart from work conducted by Centamin, very little exploration employing modern methods has been conducted and the region can be considered frontier terrain. Gold occurrences and deposits in the Eastern Desert orogen have all of the hallmarks of those in highly productive gold producing domains of similar age, such other similar sized districts in Central Asia, North and South America. Typically, such districts contain at least 1,000 tonnes of gold. Historical gold production from Eastern Desert gold occurrences during Phaoronic times is very difficult to accurately estimate, but production of several million ounces, and potentially significantly more, is considered possible.
Bukari encompasses 13 known gold occurrences dating to Phaoronic times. Historic exploitation consists of pits and trenches excavated to no more than several metres depth. Recent prospecting by Z-Gold produced a quartz vein grab sample from the Zeidoun occurrence on the Umm Samra property that returned a value of 13.95 g/t gold, while several grab samples of quartz veins from the Bukari occurrence on the Bukari property returned anomalous values up to 1.44 g/t gold.
Paul Jones, P.Geo., President of Nuinsco, is a QP for the Company under NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.
