December 16, 2010: GREENWOOD, BRITISH COLUMBIA – New Nadina Explorations Limited (TSX Venture: NNA) summarizes current exploration activities at it’s 100% owned Silver Queen Property located 43 km south of Houston BC. Reference to the program can be obtained from the disseminated MD&A Report dated July 30, 2010.
2010 Drill Program – Summary
Drilling totalling 4109.5 metres was conducted on six areas of the property during September and October of 2010. These areas, designated the IP Anomaly, Drainage Ditch, Camp North, Cole North, Swamp and NG-3 were described in a MD&A dated July 30, 2010.
IP Anomaly:
A 3D IP survey was conducted over an area of the property in 2004 and was followed up in 2005 by drilling of DDH 05S-01 to a depth of 310 metres. This hole encountered heavy disseminated pyrite through most of its length but did not encounter any significant structures or values. A re-interpretation of the geophysical data in 2010 indicated the need for a drill hole approximately 150 metres to the southwest of the location drilled in 2005. DDH 10S-01, drilled NQ2 sized core to a depth of 269 metres, was the first hole of the 2010 program and encountered a silica-pyrite stockwork from 44 metres to 169 metres containing minor amounts of gold, where sampled. The boundaries of the stockwork are gradational, with a gradual decrease in the intensity of veining away from the main body of stockwork such that only isolated silica-pyrite veinlets are encountered at the top and bottom of the hole. The main stockwork coincides with a post-mineral feldspar porphyry dyke swarm, with core length of individual dyke intersections being 0.3 to 9.3 metres. Aside from size, the silica-pyrite veinlets comprising the stockwork are very similar in appearance to the gold-bearing silica-pyrite sections of the No. 3 Vein.

Silica-pyrite stockwork |
These results are encouraging as being indicative of porphyry-style mineralization. Logs for DDH NG-4, a deep vertical hole drilled in 1970 about 200 metres to the west of 10S-01, report similar silica-pyrite stockwork development but samples from that hole were not routinely run for gold. To the south of NG-4, holes 96S-03 and 96S-04 reported silica-pyrite stockwork, but returned lower gold values.
A review of existing geophysical data is planned to define further drill targets or delineate areas where more geophysical work and soil geochemistry would be useful. The large area immediately to the southwest of DDH 10S-01 has seen very little exploration to date and has never been drilled.
Drainage Ditch:
Holes 10S-02 to 10S-04 and 10S-12 were drilled to investigate areas of high-grade zinc mineralization found by trenching in previous years. These holes failed to encounter significant mineralization at depth, presumably due to significant disruption by faulting. No further work is planned for this area.
Camp North:
Holes 10S-05 to10S-11 were drilled to test the Camp North area with the objective of extending the Camp Vein system. Drilling was hampered in this area by extensive heavy overburden, causing the abandonment of one hole without reaching bedrock.
A conductor indicated by an EM-16 survey was drilled and yielded several narrow veins, although metal values were low. It is believed that much of the pyrite found in this area could be of primary origin, and that the area may therefore be prospective for VMS-type deposits. Aside from this program, this area has received very little attention and continues to be of interest.
NG-3:
Six holes were drilled from three locations to test the NG-3 Vein. The structure was rather narrow but showed good continuity. Gold values ranged up to 9.11 g/t and silver values were up to 336.9 g/t. Very little of the structure has been tested so far, and it remains open to the southeast and to depth.
Swamp and Cole North:
Logging and sampling of core from these areas is continuing.
Several targets have been indicated from a preliminary review of existing geophysical data that may warrant conducting a Titan 24 Deep Imaging Survey; specifically in search of porphyry systems such as those which underlie the Huckleberry Property to the south and the Silver Hope property to the northeast of Silver Queen.
