The Mt Nakru property is owned 100% by Copper Quest (PNG) Ltd.
The Mt Nakru 1 porphyry copper-gold system has defined mineralisation over an area of more than 10 square kilometres. Exploration has included 15 drill holes (1650m) with best drill results such as 74m of 0.78% copper, 8.6m of 1.3 g/t gold, and 94m of 0.46 g/t gold and 0.43% copper. Previous best trench results were 45m of 2.5 g/t gold, 245m of 0.8 g/t gold, 3m of 17 g/t gold, 23m of 1.43% copper and 4m of 6.6% copper. Exploration is impacted at Mt Nakru because of a thick blanket of volcanic ash, up to 8m thick.
Exploration in 2005 included approximately 6 kilometres of bulldozer excavator trenching. 1,595 channel samples were collected.
During 2008 drilling and trenching are currently underway.
A ground geophysical 3D induced polarisation survey is currently underway at Nakru 1 and Nakru 2.
At Nakru 2, significant polymetallic targets occur within a 700m diameter interpreted breccia pipe. Historical samples had included 25m at 1.43% copper in trench, 4m at 6.6% copper in trench and 19.9% copper in outcrop samples.
"Readers are advised to refer to Announcements and Projects sections of this web site for complete information of drill and trench results".
