Avanco Resources [ASX: AVB] - Acquisition complete and potential for high grade Ni-Cu-PMGs identified

Avanco Resources (ASX: AVB) has confirmed completion of the transaction for the rights to acquire a 75% interest in the highly prospective Concei��o Nickel Platinum Project (Brazil) as announced previously.

Outstanding due-diligence results including rock-chip assays have returned strongly anomalous base and precious metal values including one very high grade sample:

ROCK CHIP AV-9778
* 1.95% NICKEL
* 17.54% COPPER
* 4.17g/t PLATINUM
* 12.19g/t PALLADIUM
* 1.62g/t GOLD

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Transaction closed for Avanco to earn into 75% of the Concei��o Project in Carajas, Brazil which has never been drilled for nickel sulphides or PGM�s.

* Field reconnaissance and limited rock chip samples have confirmed the significant potential for the discovery of high grade nickel-copper-PGM sulphides.

* Mineralogy studies from fresh samples collected in the area have identified primary sulphides as pentlandite (primary Ni ore mineral), chalcopyrite (primary Cu ore mineral) and pyrrhotite, a key mineral assemblage observed in most Ni-Cu-PGM deposits.

* Local soil geochemistry surveys over historical geophysical targets clearly show at least two strong and coincident nickel-copper anomalies trending WNW to over 1,000m.

Soils returned peak nickel and copper values of 1,843ppm and 1,391ppm respectively.

Both anomalies are open on strike.
