Nevsun Files Technical Report for the Timok Upper Zone PFS

11.05.2018  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, May 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") today announced that the Timok Upper Zone National Instrument 43-101 pre-feasibility study ("PFS") technical report has been filed and is available for review under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website at www.nevsun.com.

The Timok Upper Zone is one of the best undeveloped copper projects globally. The recently released pre-feasibility study results (see News Release dated March 28, 2018) demonstrate the project's sector-leading returns with an after-tax NAV8% of $1.8 billion and IRR of 80% at $3.15 per pound copper. The Company announced receipt of the exploration decline permit in February and construction will commence in early June.

Resource calculations are underway following completion of the $20 million Timok Lower Zone drill program which highlighted the deposit's significant scale and impressive grades. The initial resource will be released in mid-2018 and is expected to demonstrate the potential addition of a world scale copper-gold porphyry to Nevsun's Serbian portfolio of assets.
