Beatrix News... SLAM... ELNHi gang,
The Beatrix news is good as it tells us that the strike length has been extended. Looks like the zone is going to get much larger. The table of results was, I believe already put out in an earlier release some time ago???. The nice thing about them is that we can see mine worthy gold grades present through many levels or meters, rather than a thin level of high grade... To me, this suggests that there is a greater possibility of a larger total area of mineralization... I like seeing drill core results that break down the hole like this, as it gives me a clearer reality of the hole.
Speaking of news, ELN (also exploring in NB but with a JV with Xstrata) also reported some pretty awesome news a few days ago... Take a look, as they are close to where SLAM is operating... I like the grades, which remind me of SLAMS results... There is no question that NB is filled with mineralization.
Enjoy,
Cussy, the Windsurfer:)

VANCOUVER,Nov. 28, 2011/CNW/ - El Niño Ventures Inc. ("ELN" and the "Company") (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q) is pleased to announce significant diamond drill results of the 2011 drill program on theMurray BrookMassive-Sulfide Deposit located in the Bathurst Mining camp, New Brunswick, Canada. Votorantim Metals Canada Inc (VM Canada) is operator of the program.
During the spring-summer of 2011, a total of 19 holes, 2,695.5 meters, have been completed. The results are included in this announcement.
The drill program was designed to further delineate the deposit in areas of low drill-density, follow-up higher-grade intercepts, drill test the margins of the known massive-sulfide body, and ultimately be used for a resource calculation.
The entire 2011 program consists of 60, vertical, drill holes, totaling 10,327.5 m. Assay results of the remaining drill holes will be announced shortly, after conducting final QA/QC studies.
The drill plan was designed to start on the south, near-surface, section of the deposit where thick, massive-sulfide intercepts with high-grade zinc have been recorded. The drill program then moved to the north, to test deeper portions of the massive-sulfide body in a systematic manner. Figure 2 below shows the location of the completed drill holes.
The vertical section below (Figure 3) is located on the central part of the deposit. Massive-sulfide intercepts recorded in the current program are very close to what was expected based on the compiled sections.
Massive-sulfide intervals that cut the drill holes are indicated below. Drill hole MB-2011-25 tested the eastern extent of the deposit and failed to intersect massive sulfide.

Table 1 below illustrates significant drill results from the summer drilling program.
The deposit remains open and there is good potential to increase the grade with additional drilling.
QA/QC Program
The sample process follows these procedures. Mineralized samples are selected for assay from the NQ core and sawed with a diamond-blade rock saw. The samples are bagged in a plastic sample bag with the sample number and sealed with a plastic locking tie. Six or seven rock samples are placed in a rice bag and sealed with a Bag Guard Seal with a 7-digit number. The rice bag is sealed in a plastic bucket container and numbered. Shipments of approximately 20 buckets are sent by Day and Ross via their secure shipping facilities to TSL Laboratories (TSL) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. TSL reports to VM Canada if there is any evidence of tampering, of which no reports have been received to date. Quality control is monitored by submitting a field blank, a standard and a duplicate sample with each 30 sample batch sent to the laboratory for analysis. The field blank is barren coarse-quartz sand. The field duplicate is a sawn, quarter split of a core sample selected from the same batch. Two types of standards, ME-6 low grade and ME-7 medium grade, were purchased from Canadian Resource Laboratories, Langley, British Columbia. The OREAS_38, high-grade standard was purchased from Analytical Solutions Ltd, Toronto, Ontario. The quality control sample results are monitored for any assay problems as the data is received from the laboratory. Assay values returned for blanks are at or below the detection limit. Variability of assay values returned for standards are within plus or minus 5% which is considered to be within an acceptable range of analytical error.
