VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 28, 2007 -- Nevsun Resources Ltd. (Toronto:NSU.TO - News)(AMEX:NSU - News) ("Nevsun") wishes to advise that due to a water shortage at its water pumping station on the Faleme River in Mali, the Tabakoto Mine process plant and associated operations will likely need to be suspended sometime during the next few days. The seasonal rains have not yet started in the Kenieba district where the Tabakoto Mine is located, and the plant water reservoir has been depleted by higher than anticipated evaporation rates.
Tabakoto Mine management is assessing the impact on the remaining operations, including maintenance scheduling. Seasonal rains normally commence in May with heavier rains from June through to September. Plant operations should recommence as soon as water becomes available on the Faleme River.
