Devlin Property Potential Source of Copper Feed for Copper Rand Mill
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 3, 2014) - Nuinsco Resources Ltd. ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that additional mining claims have been added to the Devlin Property in Chibougamau, central Quebec, held by CBay Minerals Inc. ("CBay").
CBay is 50% owned by Nuinsco and 50% by Ocean Partners Investments Limited and is one of the largest landowners in Quebec's prolific Chibougamau gold/copper mining camp. Approximately 75% of all copper and gold produced from the Chibougamau camp was mined from CBay's current land position. The additional claims will enhance and protect the Devlin project which could be a near-term producing asset in the camp along with the Corner Bay and Perch River projects also owned by CBay.
The new claims will extend coverage along the trend of the mineralization at Devlin while further work is conducted to assess the potential to produce the deposit at low cost.
Devlin is an easily accessible, partially-developed, high-grade copper deposit, located about 10 kilometres west of CBay's 100%-owned, partially-developed Corner Bay copper deposit and is about 40 kilometres by road from CBay's permitted Copper Rand Mill and tailings facility. A 350-metre decline and over 600 metres of exploration drifts have been developed on the project. In 1982, a bulk sample of 16,330 tonnes grading 3.72% copper was processed at a mill in Chibougamau with recoveries reported in the mid-90% range. Using a 2.5% Cu cut-off Watts Griffiths and McOuat Limited ("WGM") estimated Devlin to contain proven and probable reserves of 146,000 tonnes at 3.38% copper, measured and indicated resources of 149,700 tonnes grading 3.95% copper and inferred resources of 90,700 tonnes grading 3.69% copper (historic results reported by WGM in 1995. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources; the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources). The Devlin deposit, as defined to date, is within 100 metres of surface.
