Nebu Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NBU) ("Nebu") -
BEEHIVE PROPERTY
Nebu is pleased to report significant assay results of the
initial 4 diamond drill holes program, totaling approximately 2400
metres, completed on the Beehive Property in Timmins, Ontario, in
November and December of 2010.
The gold mineralization in the drill results reported in this
release is from the area interpreted to be the strike extension of
the Desantis and MacEneny gold zones (see below).
The first of the four holes intersected a strong quartz
carbonate tourmaline vein zone that returned a number of gold
values ranging up to 17.3 g/t over a core length of 0.5 metres.
Less than 10 metres below this high grade interval, a series of
gold values over a 9.7 metre core length averaged 2.73 g/t and
included a 1.7 metre interval that assayed 6.83 g/t gold.
Hole NM-10-2 intersected narrow zones of similar material
although no interval assayed more than 1 g/t gold.
Hole NM-10-3 drilled 50 metres to the north of, and therefore
deeper than hole NM-10-1 intersected similar mineralization at two
locations in the hole with the upper intersection assaying 2.39 g/t
over 2.4 metres and about 50 metres deeper, 7.56 g/t over 1.9
metres.
The fourth hole, NM-10-4 was drilled approximately 300 metres to
the west and also intersected alteration and quartz veining, with
the highest assay being 3.31 g/t gold over a 0.4 metre
interval.
The zones of gold bearing quartz tourmaline veining remain open
for expansion.
When the Company entered into the option agreement on the
Beehive Property the Company believed the main area of potential
for the discovery of significant gold mineralization on the
property was the south-western portion of the property that was
interpreted to host the extension of the gold mineralized zone
extending from the southeast at the Naybob Mine currently being
explored by Metals Creek Resources Corp. and Goldcorp Inc. The
secondary target at that time was the potential for finding gold
mineralization along strike from the historic Desantis and MacEneny
gold mines located to the west of the west boundary of the Beehive
Property where Lateegra Gold Corp. are exploring.
This initial drill program, drilling did not test the target
along the mutual boundary with Metals Creek and Goldcorp. The
Company expects that drilling will resume in the next month on this
boundary, though drilling may occur on the Company's Bowman
Property first.
The true width of the mineralization in the holes drilled to
date has not been determined. Core samples were collected by
consultants in the employ of the Company and are subject to the
Company's quality control program. Sampling was conducted in
Timmins, Ontario and sealed split core samples were transported to
Swastika Labs preparation facilities in Swastika, Ontario. Samples
are regularly assayed for gold by standard fire assay- ICP finish
with a 30 gram charge. The remaining half of the drill core is
stored in Timmins. For quality control purposes, blank, duplicate
and reference standards were inserted into the sample stream at
irregular intervals.
Mr. Bruce Durham, P.Geo, a Qualified Person, is the Company's
Qualified Person (QP) and is the non-independent Qualified Person
responsible for the information contained in this press release.
The Qualified Person is experienced in all aspects of the work
completed, has visited the project site, examined the drill core
samples reported and has verified that the reported results meet
the Company's quality control standards.
BOWMAN PROPERTY
Initial results indicate significant targets have been
identified in the area to the west of the nearby historic Canadian
Arrow Mine property recently optioned by Murgor Resources. Murgor's
first drill hole at that historic gold producing property assayed
2.64 g/t gold over a core length of 59 metres.
The Company is actively involved in evaluating its entire
property portfolio in Northern Ontario and is currently awaiting
final results from the initial exploration program on its Bowman
Property.
Nebu Resources Inc. is a junior exploration company focused on
gold exploration in Ontario, Canada, in 3 specific and distinct
areas: West Timmins, Quest Lake in the Thunder Bay mining district
and Burntbush, Ontario, exploring the Ontario extension of the Casa
Berardi Deformation Zone. Nebu's shares are listed for trading on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NBU.V. Nebu currently has
60,123,976 common shares issued and outstanding.
