I am not too sure whether anyone is aware of this news which came out Thursday:
TORONTO,ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 8, 2009) - Nuinsco Resources Limited("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announcedthat it is participating in Egypt's 2009 International Bid Round, anauction of gold exploration concessions administered by the EgyptianMineral Resources Authority ("EMRA").
Nuinsco'sbid has been made in conjunction with Quartz Core Company, an Egyptiancompany. The bidding procedures being used for these gold concessionsare similar to those used successfully for oil and gas properties inEgypt. All the concessions are located in the highly prospectiveEastern Desert in central-eastern Egypt between the Red Sea coast andthe Nile River. The 2009 International Bid Round covers exploration forgold and associated minerals.
Theconcessions on which Nuinsco is bidding encompass numerous named goldoccurrences. Assuming a positive decision is announced, Nuinsco willprepare work plans to begin the process of systematically evaluatingthe concessions in the near term.
"Egypt'sEastern Desert is an underexplored region with exciting geology andtremendous potential that is just opening up," said Paul Jones,President. "Gold production dates to at least pharaonic times,virtually no recent exploration has been conducted and more than 95in-situ occurrences are presently identified in the Eastern Desert. Theopportunity to acquire projects in a region such as this doesn't comealong every day and we are pleased to have taken the first step towardgetting involved in gold exploration in Egypt."
Recentgold discoveries in the Eastern Desert by companies such as CentaminEgypt Limited ("Centamin"), have prompted a fundamental re-examinationof the region's gold potential. Centamin's flagship property, theSukari Gold Project, is located 15 km west of the Red Sea coast in thesouthern-central Eastern Desert of Egypt. Centamin estimates thecurrent resource at Sukari at 9.91 million ounces of gold in measuredand indicated reserves. A further 3.3 million ounces are contained ininferred resources (see Centamin news release dated July 14, 2009). Thefirst gold pour at Sukari took place in June 2009.
