NEXUS TO ACQUIRE THE GB COPPER-GOLD PROJECT IN CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND

Nexus Gold Corp. has reached an agreement with Robert Stares, an arm’s-length party, to acquire a series of mineral claims located in central Newfoundland and commonly known as the Gummy Bear copper-gold project. In consideration for the project, the company is required to issue four million common shares. The company is also required to grant a 2-per-cent net smelter returns royalty on commercial production from the project, one-half of which may be purchased at any time for a cash payment of $1-million.

The project is located in central Newfoundland, 15 kilometres south of South Brook and 40 km north of Badger on the Trans-Canada Highway. Woods roads give good access to all parts of the project. The project consists of seven claims covering an area of 2,525 hectares.

Regional geology

The project is underlain on the eastern side by mafic volcanics of the Roberts Arm group, a steeply dipping, attenuated and deformed sequence of dominantly submarine volcanics and volcanogenic rocks. Much of the central part of the project is underlain by the Gull Island formation (Badger group), comprising marine siliciclastics. A tectonized block of melange termed the Sops Head complex occurs locally. Marine siliciclastics of the Pennys Brook formation (Wild Bight group) occur to the north. Marine sandstones of the Crescent Lake formation (Roberts Arm group) underlie parts of the northeast section of the project.

Mineralization

The company is acquiring the project to investigate the gold potential based on anomalous gold occurring in outcrop which graded up to 4.2 grams per tonne gold. In addition to the gold showing, several large boulders containing pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite have been discovered to the southwest which have returned assays ranging from 2.76 per cent to 4.02 per cent copper. Historic aeromagnetic/electromagnetic surveys conducted in 1989 identified six parallel conductors a few kilometres to the east of the boulder train.

Three additional showings occur in the western portion of the claim block, the Moose Brook showing, the Tommy’s Arm, and the Rocky Point Cu showing. Mineralization is described as consisting of disseminated chalcopyrite, pyrite and possibly molybdenite in the mafic to felsic flows of the Roberts Arm group (Elias, 1957). Alteration includes graphite and several narrow bands of hematite. Pyrite occurs with the graphite. Mineralization is interpreted as pre- to syn-tectonic. Elias, 1957, estimates that 1 per cent to 2 per cent Cu is present. The Tommy’s Arm fault runs through the mineralized area and may be a structural control for the mineralization.

In connection with completion of the acquisition of the project, the company intends to issue 400,000 common shares to an arm’s-length third party who assisted with introducing the acquisition to the company.

All securities to be issued in connection with the acquisition of the project will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws. The acquisition remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and cannot be completed until such approval is obtained.
