NEWS RELEASE!!!! Western Copper Holdings Limited - San Nicolas results Western Copper Holdings Limited WTCShares issued 107066491997-12-18 close $4.75Thursday Dec 18 1997Also Teck Corp (TEK.B) Mr Dale Corman reports The company has received the following results from the San Nicolas deposit, a property held jointly with Teck Corporation under the El Salvador Joint Venture. All reported holes contain visible copper and zinc mineralization. Hole SA-L-31 is believed to be the longest single intercept of massive sulphides to date ever drilled in the Americas. Since the initial discovery (diamond drill hole SAL-25) on the San Nicolas deposit, five additional holes have been completed. Assays for these holes, with the exception of hole SAL-25 which were previously reported are pending and expected by mid January. A near vertical fault is suspected between SAL-29 and SAL-24, resulting in a vertical displacement of approximately 200m. Hole SAL-24 will be continued when drilling is resumed in early January. Considerable further drilling will be required in order to assess the total tonnage and grade of the deposit, however based on the above intercepts a very large massive sulphide deposit is indicated. Approximately 40 diamond drill holes, drilled on 100m centres, are planned for the San Nicolas deposit for the first half of 1998.
