NexGold Mining Corp. (TSX-V: NEXG) (OTCQX: NXGCF) is pleased to provide additional results from the recently-announced diamond drilling program, which comprises up to 25,000 metres at the Goliath Gold Complex (comprised of the Goliath, Goldlund and Miller Deposits). The drill program is focused on the Goldlund Deposit, with holes designed to infill and potentially expand open pit mineral resources. The results presented in this news release include 1,883 metres of diamond drilling in five drill holes (GL-25-009 to GL-25-011, GL-25-013 and GL-25-014) that specifically infill mineralization areas located within, or near the base of, the open pit Mineral Resource and generally within the current Inferred category within Zone 4 mineralization (Figure 1; Table 2).

Selected drill intercepts from diamond drill holes at the Goldlund Deposit in this news release are further detailed in Table 1 and include:

• 9.30 g/t gold over 11.0 metres (from 232.0 to 243.0 metres), including 64.10 g/t gold over 0.9 metres and 39.70 g/t gold over 1.0 metres in drill hole GL-25-010;
• 2.31 g/t gold over 21.5 metres (from 238.6 to 260.1 metres), including 30.10 g/t gold over 0.7 metres, 24.5 g/t gold over 0.5 metres and 7.64 g/t gold over 0.9 metres in drill hole GL-25-011;
• 1.18 g/t gold over 33.5 metres (from 183.5 to 217.0 metres), including 18.00 g/t gold over 1.0 metres and 7.99 g/t gold over 1.0 metres; additionally, 62.30 g/t gold was intersected over 1.0 metres (from 226.0 to 227.0 metres), in drill hole GL-25-009;
• 2.34 g/t gold over 10.2 metres (from 199.3 to 209.5 metres), including 15.8 g/t gold over 0.7 metres and 5.08 g/t gold over 0.8 metres in drill hole GL-25-013; and
• 1.03 g/t gold over 16.5 metres (from 350.5 to 367.0 metres), including 5.25 g/t gold over 0.8 metres and 4.34 g/t gold over 2.0 metres in drill hole GL-25-014; additionally 28.9 g/t gold was intersected over 1.5 metres (from 129.5 to 131.0 metres) in the same drill hole.

Kevin Bullock, President and CEO of NexGold, commented: “These additional drill results from the infill drill program at Goldlund demonstrate a strong tenor of gold mineralization at deeper levels of a planned open pit for the Goldlund Deposit and strengthen our belief that mineralization does have strong continuity at depth. The results of the drill program will be used on an ongoing basis to support our efforts to optimize the Goliath Gold Complex, including the Goldlund Deposit. As we continue to drill at the deeper levels of the open pit mineral resource, we are also gathering information to test the continuity of mineralization—especially high-grade mineralization—at depths consistent with underground mining. To date, mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, which provides opportunity for follow up targets and potential expansion of the mineral resource in these areas in the future.”

Mineralization at the Goldlund Deposit is generally characterized by quartz stockwork veining within sub-vertical granodiorite sills. Zone 4 at the Goldlund Deposit is characterized by wide intervals of mineralized intermediate-mafic volcanic rocks with multiple porphyry and granodiorite intrusions. The holes in this news release provide additional support for the grade continuity of Zone 4 and will assist in improving the geological model and upgrade Mineral Resource confidence in future mineral resource estimates.

Notes:

1. Reported intervals are drilled core lengths and do not indicate true widths. True widths vary from 50 to 70% of the interval length.
2. For duplicate samples, the original sample assays are used to calculate the intersection grade. All grades are uncapped.
