Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG) (OTCQB: NKGFF) is pleased to announce results for the remaining 10 holes at its Silver Park East target from the Phase III drill program. Silver Park East is located 2km west of the Atlanta Resource Zone, within the Company’s 13,000 hectare (130km2), 100% owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project, located in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada (see Table 1).

Silver Park East Highlights:
Drill results released today confirm gold and silver mineralization over a 450m by 300m footprint, with a strike extension of 150m, and clear expansion potential demonstrated by an untested 270m gap to the southeast. Continuity and scale of mineralization suggest SPE may represent a new satellite oxide gold and silver zone (see Figure 1).
Justin Daley, VP Exploration of Nevada King, stated, “The objective of the Phase III regional exploration program was to identify additional oxide gold zones beyond the ARZ. Despite the post-mineral cover across the area, the potential at Silver Park East is now clear, with low grade oxide gold and silver consistently found at the unconformity over a wide area, and gold vectors bringing an emerging model for the source of those mineralizing fluids into sharper focus.
“Drilling at the ARZ, which we now strongly believe is the same mineralizing event as SPE, has demonstrated that the highest gold grades occur at the intersection of these structural corridors where hydrothermal activity was strongest. Our task now is to map those key fluid pathways and test the intersections at SPE and elsewhere within the district, where we believe the best grades remain to be found, guided by trace element vectors and newly identified hyperspectral alteration zones.”

Phase III Update
The Company has now completed 28,000m of the planned 30,000m Phase III regional exploration program. Assays for 7,815m are pending release and assay.
QA/QC Protocols
All Reverse Circulation (RC) samples from the Atlanta Project are split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a nominal 2kg sample weight. CRF standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning all three inserts are included in each 20-sample group. Samples are shipped by a local contractor in large sample shipping crates directly to American Assay Lab in Reno, Nevada, with full custody being maintained at all times. At American Assay Lab, samples were weighted then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns to produce a 300g pulverized split. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-OES analysis. Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.
