NGEx pushes limits of massive copper-gold porphyry to the west

Mineweb | June 17, 2011 | 1:37 pm

NGEx Resources (TSX: NGQ) added more than a hundred metres to the western extent of the higher-grade zone of its Los Helados project, a deep copper-gold porphyry about 170 kilometres southwest of Copiapó, Chile.

Along a roughly 500-metre-long portion at the western edge of the deposit, three drillholes made significant strides for NGEx, with one cutting a 700-metre long intercept into Los Helados’ higher-grade zone.
