Nevsun Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce strong production results of 110,000 ounces of gold for the quarter ending September 30, 2011. Year-to-date the Bisha Mine in Eritrea has produced 278,000 ounces of gold, including 41,000 ounces during the commissioning phase early this year.

The Bisha Mine continues to operate in excess of plan for mill gold recovery and increased the rate of gold production during Q3 to approximately 1,200 ounces per day. The rainy season in Eritrea at the Bisha Site has had no material impact on operations. As at September 30, the Company was waiting on settlement of sales of approximately 24,000 ounces of gold.


Cliff Davis, Nevsun CEO commented, 'Bisha's smooth start-up earlier this year and the continuing impeccable production track record is a testament to the team at Bisha and our partnership with the Eritrean State mining company, ENAMCO. The strong cash generation from the project will eventually be recognized in the market.'


Bisha started civil works in preparation for construction of the second phase copper plant in June. The development drill programs that are expected to significantly increase Bisha mineral reserves continue with Phase 2 of the hanging wall copper zone currently underway. Assay results from the Bisha Main infill drilling are expected later this month.


Nevsun plans to release its full Q3 results on November 14, 2011 with a conference call following on November 15th.
