NevGold Intercepts 0.86 g/t Oxide Au Over 175.2 Meters And 0.83 g/t Oxide Au Over 126.2 Meters at Limousine Butte

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NevGold Corp. (“ NevGold ” or the “ Company ”) ( TSXV:NAU ) ( OTC QB :NAUFF ) ( Frankfurt: 5E50 ) is pleased to announce further assays from the Company’s drill program at the Cadillac Valley target area at its Limousine Butte Project, Nevada (the “Project”) located on the southern part of the Carlin Trend. Further assays from the Company’s inaugural 10,000 meter drill program at the Project are expected regularly for the remainder of the first half of 2022.

Key Highlights

• Building a High-Grade , Oxide Gold Resource : CV22-001 intercepted 0.86 g/t oxide Au over 175 . 2 meters (the first portion of CV22-001 was released on March 8, 2022, and included 2.1 3 g/t oxide Au over 58.2 meters including 12.32 g/t oxide Au over 5.9 meters ) , and CV22-002 intercepted 0.8 3 g/t oxide Au over 12 6 . 2 meters at a location over 700 meters from CV22-001.
• Large, Open Mineraliz ed Footprint : the mineralized area at Cadillac Valley extends over 1 km along strike and over 400 meters laterally, defining a large, oxide, mineralized footprint (Figure 1). There are numerous further targets that will be tested in the current drill program.
• Mineralization Trends Up-Dip and Shallower : as expected based on the Company’s geological interpretation and model, holes CV22-002 and CV22-003 confirm mineralization trends up-dip and shallower further south at the Cadillac Valley target area. (See Figure 2) The assays received to date have been important data points to vector in on new areas of potential mineralization.
• Highly Oxidized Mineralization: assay results from all of the holes received at Cadillac Valley reported oxidized mineralization. Oxidized mineralization has been seen in all of the holes drilled to date by the Company at Limousine Butte.

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “ Building on the initial assay s release d from Cadillac Valley on March 8, we have re ceived the remaining assays from CV22-001, along with holes CV22-002 and CV22-003. These results have started to confirm the large extent of the mineralized footprint at Cadillac Valley , which extends over 1 km northeast to southwest, and over 400 meters laterally . I t is becoming clear there is a large, oxide gold system at this important target area at the project . As we highlighted in our previous disclosure, i t is also promising to see the geological model being validated with the up-dip trend of mineralization as we work further s outh at Cadillac Valley . We will remain consistent with assays over the coming months from the 10,000 meter drill program at Limousine Butte .”

NevGold Chief Geologist , Derick Unger , comments : “ We are very encouraged by this further data from Cadillac Valley, which is becoming a large target area based on these results. We are gaining a strong understanding of the structural characteristics, which is helping us re fine the drill program as data is received from the assay lab , which is occurring in a n expedited fashion. The remaining assays from CV22-001 have confirmed a thick, high-grade interval of oxidized gold mineralization . We also expected mineralization to trend up-dip and shallower as we drilled further s outh at Cadillac Valley, and it is exciting to see this interpreta tion validated based on the results seen in CV22-002 and CV22-003 . We have completed subsequent holes at both Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley and expect further assays shortly .”

Drill Results

* Downhole thickness reported; true width varies depending on drill hole dip and is approximately 70 to 90% of downhole thickness.
**First portion of hole CV22-001 from 212.0 meters to 270.2 meters was released on March 8, 2022.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance : All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s geologists and the chain of custody from the Project to the independent sample preparation facility, American Assay Labs in Sparks, NV, was continuously monitored. The samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard fire assay methods. A blank and certified reference material was inserted approximately every 20 ^th sample and duplicates of coarse reject material was analyzed approximately every 20 ^th sample. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
