Step-out drilling by Nevada Copper (ncu-t) at its Pumpkin Hollow copper project in Nevada has expanded mineralization at the extensively-explored property. The recent drill results are part of a 36,000-metre drill program designed to both expand and infill the known resource at Pumpkin Hollow for Nevada Copper's upcoming prefeasibility study. The property has already seen 223,000 metres of drilling from 530 holes since 1960. Nevada Copper released an updated scoping study in late 2009 that included a high-grade underground scenario to start the project before possibly moving to the larger open-pit plan. Of the five zones identified on the project so far, the East and E2 deposits are considered to have underground potential while the North, South and Southeast deposits have open-pit potential.
