Ventures Inc. makes significant Copper/Cobalt discovery in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
October 6, 2008, Vancouver, BC -- El Niņo Ventures
Inc. ("ELN" and "the Company") (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q)
is pleased to announce a significant Copper/Cobalt discovery on its
research permit PR 5214, located in southeastern Katanga Province in
the Democratic Republic of Congo. This area has now been dubbed the
Kasala project.
The discovery was made during the course of the
Company's 10,000 meter reverse circulation ("RC")
drilling program, when an RC drill hole, MDB-023, was completed in
the central northern area of PR 5214.
Company geologists reported the presence of malachite
mineralization over a wide interval in the drill cuttings from this
hole. MDB-023 (-45 degrees) ended at 97 meters due to difficult
ground conditions.
Samples from MDB-023 were collected using strict
quality controls and were then dispatched to ALS Chemex Laboratories
in Johannesburg, South Africa for sample preparation and assay.
Analytical results received from ALS Chemex indicate a 29 meter
intersection grading 2.82% Cu between 17 and 46 meters, which
includes an intersection of 4.11% Cu and 0.50% Co between 21 and 26
meters.
