VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/11 -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
International Enexco Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: IEC)(OTCQX: IEXCF)(FRANKFURT: IE6) (the 'Company' or 'Enexco') is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Contact Copper Project in northeast Nevada. As described in a November 16, 2011 Press Release, the drill program is planned to include approximately 20,000 feet, (6,100 meters) targeting the in-fill and potential expansion of resources east of the current Contact Copper Project reserve base.
Drilling began on November 16, 2011 with a reverse circulation drill contracted from DeLong Construction, Inc. of Winnemucca, Nevada. A core drill from Rocky Peak Drilling, LLC, of Twin Falls, Idaho, is scheduled to start drilling on December 5, 2011. The Company anticipates completion of the planned drilling program in Q1-2012.
'We believe the in-fill and expansion program has good potential to enhance the economics of the Contact Copper Project,' said Arnold Armstrong, President and CEO of International Enexco, Ltd. 'Enexco's recent increase in land holdings has created the opportunity to change the scope of our project by concentrating on an area of limited previous drilling east of our former project area.'
