MONTREAL, – Campbell Resources Inc. and Nuinsco Resources Limited announced that they have encountered groundwater which has temporarily delayed production at the Corner Bay copper project near Chibougamau, Quebec. Production was expected to begin this month. Groundwater is not an unusual occurrence in the Chibougamau mining camp, and was encountered as development approached the mineralized zone. Until groundwater was encountered, development was on schedule. While this has delayed early production, no long-term detrimental impact is expected.

Campbell and Nuinsco have retained the services of a consultant to assist in implementing a grouting strategy to mitigate the groundwater issue and allow production to begin as soon as possible. In total, 550 metres of the 700 metre decline are now complete. Development is in mineralization on the 55 metre level, and within 10 to 15 metres of mineralization on the 75 metre level.

At a 3% Cu cut-off, Corner Bay has measured and indicated resources of 446,000 tonnes averaging 5.58% Cu (181,000 @ 5.07% Cu measured and 265,000 @ 5.93% Cu indicated); inferred resources total 1,441,000 tonnes averaging 6.76% Cu.

Ore from the Corner Bay mine will be trucked approximately 45 kilometres and processed at Campbell’s Copper Rand mill. Following extraction of the 42,000 ton bulk sample, Phase II anticipates mining an additional 500,000 tons of ore grading 4.5% copper over the following three years. Corner Bay remains open at depth, where drilling has returned

intercepts grading up to 9.27% copper over 6.7 metres at 1,200 vertical metres, attesting to the potential for significant expansion of resources. An exploration drilling program is planned for 2008 to further test the extension at depth. Nuinsco completed its earn-in of a 50% carried interest in the Corner Bay project in July of this year.
