NEVADA KING INTERCEPTS 1.58 G/T AU OVER 114.3M, INCLUDING 3.61 G/T OVER 24.4M, EXTENDS HIGH-GRADE MINERALIZATION FURTHER WESTWARD AT ATLANTA
Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) is pleased to announce assay results from two vertical reverse circulation holes recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. The two holes reported today are plotted below in plan and along an updated Section 22-6N(3), initially released on January 6, 2023, updated on March 20, 2023 and again on July 20, 2023 (Figures 2-3).
Highlights:
| Hole No. | From (m) | To (m) | Interval (m) | Au (g/t) | Ag (g/t) | |
| AT23WS-35 | 201.2 | 315.5 | 114.3 | 1.58 | 3.7 | |
| Includes | 263.7 | 288.1 | 24.4 | 3.61 | 6.1 | |
| AT23WS-39 | 224.1 | 315.5 | 91.5 | 0.96 | 3.9 | |
| Table 1: Holes released today. Mineralization occurs along near-horizontal horizons with true mineralized thicknesses in vertical holes estimated to be 95% to 100% of reported drill intercept length. |
- Today’s intervals are the westernmost holes drilled by Nevada King at Atlanta to date and have successfully identified high-grade gold mineralization in the western extents of the West Atlanta Graben (“WAG“) close to the West Atlanta Fault #2.
- 1.58 g/t Au over 114.3m including 3.61 g/t Au over 24.4m in AT23WS-39 is appreciably higher-grade than surrounding holes, injecting high-grade into the surrounding thick blanket of gold mineralization. This is similar to previously released 3.39 g/t Au over 100.6m in AT23HG-30 (July 20, 2023), located 125m to the east of AT23WS-39 and also plotted on Section 22-6N(3).
- Together these holes illustrate the effectiveness of Nevada King’s drill targeting based on its new geological model, which outlines a series of high-angle faults that divide the mineralized zone into fault-bounded blocks or domains, in turn creating numerous fluid pathways each capable of localizing high-grade gold mineralization throughout the Atlanta deposit. This is a significant departure from the historical Atlanta model, which envisioned a single 45 degree vein structure (see Figure 1 below) with no fault offsets or high-grade feeders other than the 45 degree vein zone itself.
Cal Herron, Exploration Manager of Nevada King, stated, “These new results continue to expand WAG mineralization westward with increasing gold grades and thicknesses. Referring to Figure 3, there are seven historical Kinross holes drilled in the WAG along Section 22-6N(3) that average 0.89 g/t Au with an average intercept thickness of 65m. The same section length now includes ten holes drilled by Nevada King with an average grade of 1.39 g/t Au and an average intercept thickness of 121m, representing a 56% increase in grade and an 86% increase in thickness. High-grade intercepts like 114.3m @ 1.58 g/t Au in AT23WS-39 and 100.6m @ 3.39 g/t Au in AT23HG-30 are important as they strongly influence this ten-hole average. We believe that intercepting these higher-grade zones or feeders concentrated along the high-angle faults is the key to realizing the full potential of the Atlanta deposit and this same pattern is playing out along other section lines to the north and south as they are progressively filled-in with new holes. Table 4 below summarizes averaged drill hole intercepts for the Company’s holes and for historical holes that were included in the Gustavson 2020 resource model along Section22-6N(3). This provides an interesting comparison of Au-Ag grades and thicknesses within the WAG.”

About Nevada King Gold Corp.
Nevada King is the third largest mineral claim holder in the State of Nevada, behind Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick/Newmont) and Kinross Gold. Starting in 2016 the Company has staked large project areas hosting significant historical exploration work along the Battle Mountain trend located close to current or former producing gold mines. These project areas were initially targeted based on their potential for hosting multi-million-ounce gold deposits and were subsequently staked following a detailed geological evaluation. District-scale projects in Nevada King’s portfolio include (1) the 100% owned Atlanta Mine, located 100km southeast of Ely, (2) the Lewis and Horse Mountain-Mill Creek projects, both located between Nevada Gold Mines’ large Phoenix and Pipeline mines, and (3) the Iron Point project, located 35km east of Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Atlanta Mine is a historical gold-silver producer with a NI 43-101 compliant pit-constrained resource of 460,000 oz Au in the measured and indicated category (11.0M tonnes at 1.3 g/t) plus an inferred resource of 142,000 oz Au (5.3M tonnes at 0.83 g/t). See the NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources titled “Atlanta Property, Lincoln County, NV” with an effective date of October 6, 2020, and a report date of December 22, 2020, as prepared by Gustavson Associates and filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Independence Gold Intersects 52.46 Metres Grading 2.51 g/t Gold and 19.73 g/t Silver in the Johnny Vein at the 3Ts Project, BC Independence Gold Corp. (TSX-V: IGO) is pleased to report assay results from three additional diamond drill holes completed at the Johnny Vein System at the 3Ts Project located in central British Columbia. These results further confirm the continuity and high-grade nature of the Johnny Vein System and expands the known footprint of mineralization. Located approximately 185 kilometres southwest of Prince George, British Columbia, the 3Ts Project comprises thirty-one mineral claims covering approximately 35,486 hectares in the Nechako Plateau region. The project lies 16 km southwest of Artemis Gold Inc.'s Blackwater Mine and hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal quartz-carbonate vein district within which at least nineteen known mineralized veins, ranging from 50 to over 1,100 metres in strike length and true widths of up to 32 m have been identified. Highlights from diamond drilling include: • Hole 3TS-25-31 intersected a broad zone of mineralization grading 2.51 g/t gold and 19.73 g/t silver over 52.46 metres (true width approximately 32m), including: o 2.32m grading 9.83 g/t gold and 28.02 g/t silver o 2.90m grading 7.16 g/t gold and 63.10 g/t silver o 1.14m grading 18.46 g/t gold and 33.33 g/t silver • Hole 3TS-25-29 returned 7.94 metres grading 2.65 g/t gold and 10.71 g/t silver (true width approximately 7.46m), including 1.94 metres of 7.53 g/t gold and 32.47 g/t silver. • Hole 3TS-25-30 returned 5.90 metres of 1.86 g/t gold and 17.29 g/t silver (true width approximately 5.54m), including 0.72 metres of 4.00 g/t gold and 26.39 g/t silver. "These results further validate the Johnny Vein System as a high-grade, laterally extensive target with strong potential for resource expansion," stated Randy Turner, President & CEO of Independence Gold. "We are particularly excited by the width and grade intersected in hole 3TS-25-31, which demonstrates consistent mineralization over more than 30 metres of true width and includes multiple zones of exceptional gold and silver values." The Johnny Vein System is one of several epithermal quartz-carbonate veins being explored at the 3Ts Project and appears to be comprised of several intertwining veins with mineralized breccias that produce wide zones of mineralization. The primary vein set is interpreted to have a true thickness of approximately 32 metres; however, including adjacent mineralized breccias and minor veins, the total mineralized width may extend up to 47.5 metres true width. The Johnny Vein indicates similarities in grade and continuity to the established Ted-Mint and Tommy Vein Systems, which form the foundation of the current 3Ts resource model (please see news release dated August 18th, 2022 for further details; "Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the 3Ts Gold Project, Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada", authored by Armitage and Miller). The combined in-pit and underground components of Tommy and Ted-Mint vein systems contain a total inferred resource estimate of 4,469,297 tonnes grading 3.64 grams per tonne gold and 96.26 g/t silver, at a cut off grade of 0.4 g/t gold equivalent ("AuEq") in-pit and 2.0 g/t AuEq underground, containing 522,330 ounces of gold and 13,831,415 ounces of silver, totaling 678,156 AuEq ounces. Drill results from the Johnny Vein System will be incorporated in the updated NI 43-101 mineral resource anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.
