Nebu Reports Extremely High Grade Gold Mineralization in West Timmins Drilling

Marketwired
Nebu Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NBU) is pleased
to announce drill core assay results from Hole DE-09-4 from its
ongoing diamond drill program adjacent to the Lakeshore Gold
Corp.'s land position (formerly West Timmins Mining Inc.'s
property) approximately 35 km west of the main part of the prolific
Timmins, Ontario gold camp.
Length weighted assays for the main quartz zone in hole DE-09-4
averaged 98.41 g/t (2.84 oz/ton gold) over a core interval of 4.7
metres (15.4 feet) from 78.3 metres (256.8 feet) down hole. This
very high grade interval includes an extremely high grade section
that assayed 413.57 g/tonne gold over 1.0 metre (12.063 oz gold per
ton over 3.28 feet).
Initial repeat fire assays on this interval showed some
significant variation, though by checking the assays using a pulp
and metallic assay technique ("PM", which is a more thorough and
representative assay technique - see below), the grade of the
entire interval was more accurately determined and was confirmed to
be very high grade. This interval of sulphide rich quartz vein
material contained several sightings of fine gold although with no
real accumulation of coarse gold, indicating that the gold is
likely rather evenly distributed through the interval and is
related to the overall sulphide accumulation in the quartz rich
vein system. Sulphide mineralization in the interval is dominated
by pyrrhotite and includes lesser amounts of chalcopyrite, pyrite,
sphalerite and arsenopyrite. Total sulphide content of the interval
is approximately 15%.
Brian Murray, President and CEO, commented: "We are very excited
to report the assay results for hole 4, knowing this is one of the
highest grade drill hole intersections ever drilled west of the
main Timmins Gold Camp. While the overall significance of this
drill intersection is not known at this time, the addition of a
second drill rig now allows us the flexibility to carry out
detailed drilling in the area of holes 4, 5 and 6 while continuing
to test other new areas of high potential on our properties in the
area."
The following table summarizes the most significant assay
results in drill hole DE-09-04.

Note that the second interval was not assayed by using the Pulp
and Metallic method, only the normal fire assay technique.
As reported November 12, 2009, drill holes DE-09-4, DE-09-5 and
DE-09-6, were drilled in section with hole DE-09-04 being the
deepest hole drilled. What appears to be the same vein set was
intersected at shallower depth in drill hole DE-09-05 (above drill
hole DE-09-4) and assayed 8.45 g/t gold over a 5.9 metre (19.3
foot) interval. Drill hole DE-09-6 drilled between these two holes
also intersected the veins with one interval of the vein assaying
4.46g/t over 1.1 metres (3.6 feet).
Information from the holes drilled in this area to date appears
to indicate that the vein system has a more northerly strike than
previously thought resulting in the best mineralized veins not
being intersected in some other holes. A second drill rig has
recently been mobilized to this area and follow-up drilling has
commenced to further evaluate this area of gold mineralization. A
number of drill holes will be required to evaluate the full extent,
grade and thickness of the gold zone. The Company has not completed
any drilling below the high grade gold intersection. It should be
noted that the intersections of gold mineralization in drill holes
DE-09-4, 5, and 6 is very shallow, ranging from approximately 15 to
55 metres below surface. The true width of the mineralization in
the holes drilled to date has not been determined but is known to
be less than the drilled width.
Drilling with one drill rig continues to focus on other targets
on the property and the recently mobilized second drill rig has
commenced detailed drilling in the vicinity of the high grade
mineralization reported in this release.
Quality Control and Assurance
Assay results reported by the Company are from halved drill core
samples collected from diamond drill holes recently completed by
contractors to the Company. 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 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. While this technique was used in the assaying of
intervals from this hole, a number of intervals were also assayed
using a pulp and metallic method as described on the Swastika
Laboratories website (www.swastikalaboratories.ca). The remaining
half of the drill core is stored in Timmins.
The pulp and metallic sieve analysis includes:
- crushing and pulverizing the entire sample
- screening the entire sample through a 100 mesh screen
- assaying the entire 100 mesh fraction
- duplicate 30G assays on the -100 mesh fraction
- weighted average for Gold in the entire sample reported
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.
No determination of the true width of the mineralized quartz
vein system has been possible at this early stage of the
drilling.
