Nebu Acquires Strategic Property Position Adjacent to Historic Timmins Gold Mine

Marketwired
Nebu Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NBU) announces
the acquisition of a 100% interest in a group of 11 historic
patented mining claims adjacent to a past producing gold mine owned
by Goldcorp Inc. ("GC") that is subject to an earn in agreement
with Metals Creek Resources Corp. ("MC").
The new property now provides the Company with property adjacent
to both the north and the south boundaries of the GC-MC property
that includes the former producing gold mine known as the Nabob
Mine. Some of the drill holes completed in 2009 by MC were
essentially collared on the mutual boundary of the Nabob Mine
property and the newly acquired Morin Property. Despite the
proximity of the Morin Property to the Nabob Mine, there is no
known history of diamond drilling near the property boundary and in
fact only one drill hole has ever been reported to have been
completed on the property, in the early 1980's as part of a
regional exploration program.
A reference in a July 20, 2009 press release by MC indicated the
discovery of significant gold mineralization assaying from 0.006
g/t to 64.4 g/t gold in 46 samples collected within altered
porphyry over a 425 metre by 150 metre area located 1000 metres to
the northwest of the Nabob Mine. While no specific location is
given it may be that this area is located close to the Morin
Property as historic maps show the outline of a porphyry body
occurring very close to the southwest corner of the Morin
claims.
The property also covers a 1.5 km interval of the easterly
extension of the favourable mine stratigraphy of the Desantis Mine
and the McEnaney Mine, the latter of which is located only 900
metres to the west of the west boundary of the Morin Property.

A review of the available historic files at the MNDM files
relating to the Morin Property indicate the presence of a
historical shaft, pits, quartz veining and Au (gold). No additional
information is available at this time.
Bruce Durham, Qualified Person for the Company commented: "the
location of the property, being adjacent to the Nabob Mine and to
the McEnaney Mine, and being located within Canada's largest gold
camp, combined with its lack of a history of any significant
exploration despite its known favourable geological setting, makes
this an excellent, high priority exploration Project."
The Company has initiated a program of line cutting, magnetic
and induced polarization surveying and expects to be in a position
to commence drill testing of parts of the property within the next
two months.
Background
The property lies immediately to the north of the Nabob
(Kennilworth) mine which operated between 1932 and 1964 producing
just over 50,000 ounces of gold and is reported to still host a
resource of 135,500 tons grading 0.25 ounces gold per ton in the
North Zone and 600,000 tons grading 0.20 ounces gold per ton in the
South Zone.
The McEnaney Mine to the west of the Morin was also known as the
Hollinger Reserve Property The 200 foot shaft was completed between
1911 and 1914 The property is reported to host some 170,000 tons of
ore of variable grade to the 300 foot level.
