TEP OUT DRILLING AT MARBAN CUTS 6.5 G/T GOLD OVER 7.0 METRES
|
Val-d’Or, Quebec, April 1, 2008: NioGold Mining Corporation (TSX-V:NOX) (Frankfurt: NG1) (“NioGold”) reports on results of the 2008 diamond drilling program on the Marban Block property located in the Malartic Gold Camp, Abitibi, Quebec. One of the two drill rigs mobilised on the property in January is investigating the west strike extent of the favourable units hosting the former Marban Mine gold ores (Mine Sequence), where limited drilling was conducted in the past. To date, three widely-spaced (100 metres) drill sections were completed to the west of the Marban Mine shaft.
Hole MB 08 035, drilled on the westernmost section (line 300W), cut a wide gold mineralised zone that averages 4.30 g/t Au over 13.9 metres and includes an impressive interval grading 6.46 g/t Au over 7.0 metres as well as a second higher grade interval of 9.19 g/t Au over 1.2 metres. The results have great impact on the Company’s efforts at Marban as it opens up the potential of defining new gold zones of significant grade and width along the west strike extent of the Mine Sequence. Step out drilling is presently progressing on line 400W.
