Nebu Commences Drilling at the Bonanza Property, Near Historic Naybob Mine-Provides Exploration Update

13/05/2010 3:58pm

Marketwired Canada


Nebu Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NBU) provides the accompanying
update of its ongoing diamond drill programs adjacent to the Lakeshore Gold
Corp.'s land position approximately 35 km west of the main part of the prolific
Timmins, Ontario gold camp and also a drilling program in the vicinity of the
nearby historic Naybob Mine, a historic gold mine in the Timmins Gold Camp, that
is being actively explored by Metals Creek Resources Corp. ("Metals Creek') and
Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp").


North Denton Property 

Drilling completed since the last report by the Company consisted of some 12
holes drilled primarily in the vicinity of the previously reported very
high-grade vein zone mineralization but still at quite shallow depths. While
significant high grade gold values were not intersected in many of the holes,
quartz veining and lower values were intersected in several holes and included
an interval in hole DG-10-29 that assayed 10.82 g/t gold over a core length of
1.7m. 


The Company plans to complete a full review of drilling completed throughout the
property and expects to carry out further drilling at greater depths in the
future.


Denton South Property 

The Company has now completed the Phase 1 diamond drill program and is awaiting
results for approximately half of the eight holes completed. The majority of the
drill holes were completed in an area along the common boundary between
properties held by the Company and Lakeshore Gold Corporation. Most of the holes
intersected a variety of lithologies that show considerable deformation and
alteration. The drilling defined the location a very extensive zone of
deformation interpreted by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and
Mines to represent the westerly extension of the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone, a
regionally extensive zone of very strong deformation hosted primarily in
ultramafic rocks.


A significant amount of quartz ankerite veining, in cases with significant
sulphide mineralization was intersected at some locations and of the assays
received to date one interval in drill hole DE-10-1 assayed 1.77g/t gold over a
1.9 m core length, representing a new gold discovery in the area. The other
holes returned only anomalous gold values. Further drilling will be considered
once all data is reviewed. Of note, a recent press by Richmont Mines Inc.
reported a drill hole approximately 4 km to the northeast of the Company's
property (in the direction of the Lakeshore Thunder Creek gold deposit that
assayed 73.54 g/t gold over a width of 7.0 m at a depth of approximately 250 m.
Drilling by the Company on its property was generally to depths of less than
100m.


Bonanza Property (Ogden Township) 

The Company is commencing diamond drilling on a number of gold exploration
targets located immediately to the southwest of the historic Naybob Mine that is
currently being diamond drill tested by Metals Creek and Goldcorp. The Bonanza
Property consists of 21 claim units and has seen only limited exploration work
over the years despite its excellent location. 


Work completed by the Company has identified several priority targets that
require diamond drill testing. A number of drill holes are planned to provide
initial evaluation of these various targets and determine their potential to
host significant gold mineralization. Significant alteration and quartz veining,
typically associated with gold mineralization in the area are known to occur on
the property and on various mine properties in the area.


Goldcorp and Metals Creek recently announced further drilling to evaluate areas
of gold mineralization on the Naybob Property, some of which is thought to be
located near the common property boundary in what they refer to as the South
Zone and also a new discovery to the south of the South Zone (Metals Creek press
release May 4, 2010).


Morin Property 

The Company completed its acquisition of the 11 claim units that comprise the
Morin property. The Morin Property adjoins the north boundary of the Naybob
Property mentioned above. 


Subsequent to completing the acquisition it was learned that some of the
historic exploration data from work done on these claims by a major mining
company was in the possession of certain companies at arms-length from the
Company. The Company has made an agreement to acquire this data, including some
historic drill core, by agreeing to issue, a total of 200,000 common shares and
100,000 common share purchase warrants where each warrant entitles the holder to
acquire an additional common share at $0.30 for an 18 month period. In addition,
Nebu has agreed to pay one of these arms-length companies a fee of $18,000 for
storage of the historic drill core and data.


It is anticipated that the acquisition of this data will allow Nebu to advance
the exploration on these claim faster and more efficiently than would otherwise
be possible.


It is expected that exploration will begin on the property during the summer of
2010.


Quality Control and Assurance

Assay results reported by the Company are from halved drill core samples
collected from diamond drill holes 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 routinely assayed for
gold by standard fire assay- ICP finish with a 30 gram charge as fully described
at: (www.swastikalaboratories.com). The remaining half of the drill core is
stored in Timmins. 


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.
