EL NINO APPOINTS SENIOR GEOLOGIST TO HEAD ITS EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
El Nino Ventures Inc. has appointed Allan Lines as exploration manager for the company's exploration in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mr. Lines has worked in the mineral exploration industry for the past 13 years, exploring for VMS base metals in Eastern Canada, greenstone gold exploration in West Africa and, for the past several years, has been managing exploration programs in the DRC copper belt for a Toronto Stock Exchange/Australian Stock Exchange-listed copper producer and a New York Stock Exchange-listed major company.
Mr. Lines started working in the Democratic Republic of Congo in early 2005. Since then he designed and supervised geochemical sampling programs, advised on project acquisitions, authored baseline environmental studies, and planned and managed RC and diamond drilling programs totalling well over 50,000 metres.
In addition to mineral exploration, Mr. Lines has several years experience in the field of mine permitting, including managing environmental impact assessment studies and public consultation programs.
Mr. Lines commented: "I am excited to be joining El Nino Ventures Inc. at this time -- the vast experience of the management team in doing business in the DRC and the company's project portfolio puts the company in a great position. I am eager to begin the 2008 drill campaign and maximize the value of the exploration properties."
Jean Luc Roy, president of El Nino Ventures, states: "I am very pleased to have Mr. Allan Lines join our team in the DRC. We are very fortunate to have on board a geologist with such valuable DRC copper belt experience. With Allan's technical background and management's very substantial experience in the DRC the company is in a prime position to maximize the value of its highly prospective exploration permits in the DRC. Allan will work closely with his local technical team and he anticipates the start of our 2008 drill program for mid-April. "
