Drilling Expands the Open Pittable North Deposit 

VANCOUVER, BC - Nevada Copper Corp. reported further drill results at the 100% owned Pumpkin Hollow Property located in Nevada. The drill results continue to demonstrate continuity of mineralization and upgrading of the copper resource. Nevada Copper's current drill program which has recently been increased to 36,000 meters of resource drilling. Currently, three drill rigs are operating at the Pumpkin Hollow Property as part of this expanded drilling program.

NC10-29 was drilled as a step out hole to follow up open mineralization in the northeastern portion of the open pittable North Deposit. NC10-29 was collared 43 meters (140 ft) northeast of NC07-03 where several mineralized zones were intersected, 46.9 meters (154 ft) averaging 0.50% copper, 29.5 meters (97 ft) averaging 0.65% copper and 27.7 meters (91ft) averaging 0.42% copper. Drill hole NC10-29 also intersected several mineralized zones and copper grades were significantly higher. The zones are 57.9 meters (190 ft) averaging 0.76% copper and 40.4 meters (132.5 ft) averaging 0.75% copper. The mineralization remains open to the northeast. Gregory French, Senior Project Manager of Nevada Copper, commented, "It is very encouraging that the recent step out drilling in the North Deposit intersected mineralization that is higher grade and thicker than the adjacent holes. Expanding the open mineralization in this area of the deposit will have a positive impact on future pit designs. Follow up drilling is planned."
