DRILLING COMMENCES ON NDT PROPERTIES IN SOUTH VOISEY'S
Mr. Fred G. Hewett, President of NDT Ventures Ltd. (VSE:NDE; OTCBB:NDTVF)
announced that the Company has been notified by Donner Minerals Ltd. that
drilling has resumed in the South Voisey's Bay Project in Labrador.
Drilling was halted in early August in order that surface Pulse EM (PEM)
geophysical surveys could be completed over large areas of the favourable
gabbro.
The PEM survey, which is approximately 55% complete, continues to be carried
out over the core area of both the north and south gabbros. Following a
final interpretation of the PEM survey on NDT's Project 79, a decision
regarding additional drilling will be made. During late July, Donner
deepened a 1997 drill hole from 392 metres to 713 metres on Project 79.
This hole remained in gneiss for the 392 metre length.
After consultation with Donner, the Company and two of our joint venture
partners, Oromin Exploration Ltd. and Layfield Resources Inc. agreed to
drill up to three holes adjacent to the suture zone on two separate projects
approximately 18 km east of Project 79. Project 78 (50% Donner, 25% NDT,
25% Oromin) and Project 77 (50% Donner, 25% NDT, 25% Layfield) are
strategically positioned over the geologically important suture zone, which
is a major geological boundary separating the Nain and Churchill geological
provinces. These widely spaced holes will test the extent of the favourable
gabbro, which has been recently identified and mapped on both sides of the
suture.
This mantle tapping structure is a key ingredient in the location of the
major nickel-copper-cobalt deposits at Voisey's Bay. The South Voisey's Bay
Project straddles the north-south striking suture for a distance of
approximately 35 km of which 18 km is covered by the two NDT/Oromin/Layfield
projects which are joint ventured with Donner.
On Behalf of the Board,
NDT VENTURES LTD.
"Fred G. Hewett"
