NEVSUN RESOURCES LTD.: MASSIVE SULPHIDES AT BISHA EXTENDED TO VERTICAL DEPTHS OF 375 METERS AND A FURTHER 50 METERS TO THE SOUTH

Nevsun Resources has released assay results from holes B-183 to B-214 as well as additional assays from hole B-92, at Nevsun's 90-per-cent-owned Bisha project in Eritrea.

The results continue to reflect a continuity of mineralization both along strike and down dip and demonstrates significant potential for a long-term mine life from the primary sulphides of the Bisha project, subsequent to the mining of the high-grade oxide gold and copper supergene zones near surface.

Highlights:

hole B-212 extends massive sulphides by 75 metres to a vertical depth of 375 metres assaying 8.45 per cent Zn, 0.62 per cent Cu, 0.6 gram per tonne Au and 56.9 grams per tonne Ag over 58.5 metres; hole B-202 intersected supergene copper mineralization grading 8.1 per cent Cu over 28.0 metres; hole B-209 intersected 45.3 metres of massive sulphide mineralization including 9.12 per cent of supergene copper over 29 metres and primary mineralization grading 10.36 per cent Zn and 3.31 per cent Cu over 15.3 metres; and holes B-200 and B-206 extend massive sulphide mineralization south an additional 50 metres.
