Nevada Sunrise Announces Commencement of Airborne Survey on Coronado VMS Property in Nevada
Nevada Sunrise Announces Commencement
of Airborne Survey on Coronado VMS
Property in Nevada

VANCOUVER
/CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the
"Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that an airborne electromagnetic survey has
commenced on the Coronado VMS property ("Coronado", or the "Property"), located in the Tobin
and Sonoma Range of
Pershing County, Nevada
, approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast
of
Winnemucca
.
"Nevada Sunrise continues to search for undiscovered value in mineral-rich
Nevada
, considered to be
one of the best exploration districts in the world," said
Warren Stanyer
, President and CEO of the
Company. "We look forward to seeing the results of the VTEM™ survey, which is well-suited to
detect VMS-style mineralization."
The VTEM™ (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey totalling 648 line kilometres is
contracted to Geotech Ltd. of
Aurora, Ontario, Canada
, and is designed to cover areas of the Tobin
and Sonoma Range that are interpreted to be prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide
("VMS") mineralization. Geotech's VTEM™ airborne survey method is renowned for its depth
penetration, its detection of discrete conductive electromagnetic anomalies and for mapping geologic
structure and lithology. The presence of the past-producing Big Mike copper mine within the
boundaries of the Property and numerous other mineral showings in the area indicates that the
potential exists for other VMS deposits within
Coronado
. The Big Mike deposit and other VMS
showings lie within the Late Devonian to Late Permian-age Havallah volcanic-sedimentary sequence.
To the best of the Company's knowledge, this overlooked Paleozoic greenstone belt has never been
surveyed by modern airborne electromagnetic methods. If the results of the VTEM™ survey
warrant, Nevada Sunrise will exercise its right to proceed to a definitive agreement for
Coronado
(for

About
Coronado
Coronado
currently consists of approximately 236 located unpatented claims totaling approximately
4,720 acres (1,910 hectares) located over an interpreted trend adjacent to the historic Big Mike
copper mine ("Big Mike"). Big Mike was discovered in the 1930s when a shallow, oxidized portion
(gold-bearing gossan) of the deposit was located by prospectors. The area was explored further in
the late 1960s by Cerro Corp. and a deeper (greater than 300 feet, or 91 meters) high-grade
(supergene-enriched) massive sulphide lens was discovered by diamond core drilling. In 1970,
Ranchers Exploration and Development Company ("Ranchers") developed the high-grade portion of
the deposit with a small open pit mine that produced approximately 25 million pounds of copper in
100,000 tons of ore grading 10.5% copper, which was shipped directly to a smelter in
West
Germany
. Heap leaching of lower-grade disseminated copper ore was also carried out by Ranchers;
approximately 300,000 tons of mineralized rock was treated. Historical sampling also shows the
presence of cobalt at Big Mike, with values in the deposit ranging up to 2,500 parts per million
cobalt, or 0.25% (Rye
et al
, Economic Geology, Vol. 79, 1984).
