DRILLING SCHEDULED FOR PASCO CANYON PROJECT
NDT Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:NDE) (OTCBB:NDTVF)has scheduled the January commencement of a drill program at its Pasco Canyon Project, a large untested gold system in northern Nye County, Nevada.
Pasco Canyon is an upper level volcanic hosted epithermal gold system that outcrops over an area measuring approximately 400 by 600 metres, on the edge of a range front. Property surface gold values and rock geochemistry are indicative of a vertically zoned gold bearing system.
A recent detailed ground magnetic geophysical survey completed by the Company, has defined multiple parallel magnetic anomalies that are believed to reflect buried feeder structures associated with the gold system. The survey expanded the target area to the east of the mineralized outcrops and supports the probability of important structural targets. The drill program will test this potential feeder system as well as penetrate the predicted core of the mineralized system.
The Round Mountain gold mine (+13 million ounces of post production and current reserves) and the Gold Hill deposit (estimated 5 million ounces of gold resources), lie 20 kilometres to the southeast in a similar geologic terrain, and drilling is also designed to test these similarities.
NDT continues to review quality opportunities in the Americas as part of its strategy to acquire attractive mineral projects in stable and prospective geological environments, and will keep shareholders advised as work continues on its various projects.
On Behalf of the Board,
NDT VENTURES LTD.
