New Dimension Continues Sampling Program at Cenepa Gold Project, Peru
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/18/10 -- New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: NDR) (the 'Company' or 'New Dimension') is pleased to announce that Minera NDR Peru ('NDR Peru') has initiated further sampling at the Cenepa gold project (the 'Property'), in northern Peru.
The field team, consisting of three geologists and a number of local prospectors with detailed knowledge of access to the Property, will focus on geological mapping, prospecting, rock and stream sediment sampling. The program is designed to provide the Company with additional geological information with the objective of generating drill targets for future programs on the Property. NDR Peru has coordinated with local community leaders to accompany the exploration team to the Cenepa concessions and act as its liaison.
About the Cenepa Gold Project
The Property totals over 9,000 hectares in northern Peru along its border with Ecuador and covers the southern projection of a 20 kilometre long north-south trending mineral belt that includes Kinross' Condor Project and the Fruta del Norte gold discovery (click to view map: http://www.newdimensionresources.com/i/maps/Cenepa/2010-01-05_Geology.jpg).
The Condor Project, situated in Ecuador, near the Peruvian border, was acquired by Kinross in September 2008 and hosts a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource at the Fruta del Norte deposit of 13.7 million ounces of gold. Kinross currently has 4 drill rigs active on the project and have stated they intend to complete a pre-feasibility study in 2010.
Also within Kinross' Condor Project is the Aquas Mesas Sur prospect, which includes an announced drill intercept of 51.1 g/t gold over 9.2 metres. This prospect is the southern-most known gold occurrence within this newly emerging gold belt and is located only five kilometers north, and on trend with, NDR Peru's Property.
Although there has been very limited exploration in Peru where the Condor Project mineral trend crosses the border, the Company believes the Property is geologically highly prospective for the discovery of significant gold deposits.
