The Nevada Gold-Copper project is a 100% owned property of Capella Resources and is located on the Maricunga Gold Belt in the Republic of Chile. It is a 1900 hectare landholding which is situated approximately 700 kilometers to the northwest of Santiago, Chile. The exploration work completed by the company at the project site includes Ground Magnetic surveys, historical compilation, Induced Polarization ("IP") and a detailed hyperspectral remote sensing study. Recently conducted magnetic surveys and IP have outlined a half kilometer-diameter circular magnetic anomaly and hydrothermal alteration target in the western area of the claims group.
The results of a detailed remote sensing study indicate an establishment of a two kilometer-diameter intensely altered high priority target zone to the east and northeast of the magnetic high and a 2000 meter drilling program has also been planned for this zone. The Nevada Gold-Copper project of
Capella Resources is strategically located between the Exeter Resource Corporation's Caspiche Project and Kinross Gold's Maricunga Mine. Kinross Gold's Maricunga Mine is said to host a gold resource of over 6 million ounces while, the Exeter resource has recently reported a diamond drill intersection (CSD-016) of 627 meters of 1.1 g/t Au and 0.43% Cu. This has helped the nearby Caspiche to become a major gold-copper discovery at a distance of three kilometers from the Nevada property.
The process of gold enrichment on the Nevada property of Capella Resources is hydrothermal and is associated with a massive 200mX400m breccia body with vuggy silica alteration that has intruded dacitic volcanic rocks. The Gold mineralization process at Nevada is consistent with high sulphidation gold systems like Veladero, Pierina and Yanacocha. Being a near surface gold deposit it provides excellent potential for the company.

Harvey Project Of Capella Resources Is Located In The Western New Brunswick Claim Block
The Harvey Project of Capella Resources is located in the western New Brunswick claim block, which is a group of 427 mineral claims covering more than 1100 hectares, and is situated in the margins of the Carboniferous basin. The claims block follows a general strike of low-lying ridges that contain sandstones, conglomerates, volcanogenic sediments, and felsic pyroclastic rocks. According to the data available, this area is said to host uranium mineralization, and a considerable concentration of uranium has also been reported in the geochemical data which makes this area a favourable site for large-scale mineralization of various metallic deposits.
The geologists of Capella Resources analyzed the company's 2007 airborne radiometric and magnetic survey data and identified six geophysical anomalies extending over a two-kilometer strike length. The company dispatched a ground reconnaissance team to anomalous areas where they discovered surface outcrops measuring between 5,000 and 8,000 counts per second (cps), and one outcrop registering 40,000 cps and reading 1,475 ppm Uranium on a hand-held scintillometer. Immediately after this, a Phase I diamond drilling program was started to test the first high priority target.
By November 2007, the company completed drilling 10 holes out of which the first six holes encountered substantial amounts of Uranium enrichment localized in cross cutting structures in a complex and continuous alteration zone. The Geophysical data indicates permissive areas for mineralization due to which Capella Resources continues to analyze airborne geophysical data supported by in-field ground verification on all New Brunswick claims in order to reduce claim holdings. New Brunswick land position of the company also includes the Central and Eastern claims groups which are presently being evaluated for their feasibility and future exploration.

Capella Resources Ltd. Has Encountered A Zone Of Continuous Gold Mineralization
Capella Resources Ltd. is a publically traded exploration and mineral development company and has a strong portfolio precious and base metal projects in Chile. The company has 100% ownership of Lajitas Gold-Copper Project which is located among the established resources on the Maricunga Gold Belt in Northern Chile. The Lajitas property owned by Capella Resources Ltd. consists of 1600 hectares of exploration and exploitation claims. A zone of continuous gold mineralization located 50 meters north of the Santa Fe Historic resource has been encountered by the company. Drilling program at Lajitas Gold-Copper Project has been initiated by Capella and since origination, four drill holes namely LJ09012r, LJ09013r, LJ09014 and LJ10015r, have been completed at the project site.
LJ10015r was drilled to the east at an angle of -60 degrees using reverse circulation techniques, and it intersected 318m at 0.68 grams per metric ton gold (0.02 oz/t) over the entire length of the 318m drill hole which includes 140m (459 ft) at 1.02 g/t gold (0.033 oz/t). Gold mineralization in this hole is oxide which is positive with regard to metallurgical processing but the impact of drilling in this hole is yet to be determined. While the drill holes LJ09012r, LJ09013r and LJ0914r are located 350m east, 400m east-northeast, 450m northeast, respectively of the Santa Fe resource area. The drill hole LJ09012, drilled towards northeast has intersected a new zone of gold mineralization of 74m at 0.11 g/t gold while, drill hole LJ09013r is also drilled to the northeast but has not observed any gold mineralization yet. The drill hole LJ09014r has intersected anomalous gold (8m at 0.08 g/t) at the bottom of the hole, and it represents the edge of the extreme northern extension of the Santa Fe zone.

Capella Resources Has Nickel-Copper Properties In Labrador, Atlantic Canada

Capella Resources is a Canada based junior exploration and mining development company. The company holds an extensive land position in the areas of Newfoundland and Labrador. It has over 2,900 mineral claims covering more than 74,000 hectares of land, and has been actively exploring for nickel, copper, chromium, titanium and other base metals in the central and south-eastern areas of Labrador. The mineral claims in these areas were included as a part of the airborne geophysical surveys which included magnetics, electromagnetics and radiometrics and were conducted in 2007. While searching for a Voisey's Bay-Style deposit, the Labrador properties identified over 50 Nickel/Copper and other base metal Electro-magnetic ("EM") anomalies. Voisey's Bay is the world's richest nickel-copper-cobalt deposit, found in northern Labrador.
In order to support ground-truthing of geophysical data and cue-in for over 200 permitted drilling targets, Capella Resources set up a forward base of operations in Labrador. A total of 18 of the top ranked EM anomalies were targeted for ground follow-up during 2008. To validate and rank the anomalies in five locations around Snegamook Lake and Wilson Lake in Capella's Central Claims area in Labrador, a team comprising of nine experts was dispatched and a total of 99 surface samples were collected and analyzed. These surface sampling results included peak copper assay values greater than 1%.
While the south-eastern claims group of Labrador consists of an area where the metamorphic suite including hornfels facies, gneiss, paragneiss, amphibolite, dominates geology. Anorthosite and granite have also been reported in this area. Geophysical targeting in this area has thus, resulted in the identification of seven areas of company's interest.
