NevGold Corp. (TSX-V:NAU) (OTCQX: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 located on the southern part of the Carlin Trend. The Company has intercepted more oxide gold at the newly discovered Cadillac Valley South area expanding the mineralized footprint by over 100 meters to the northwest. Further assays from the Company’s inaugural 10,000 meter drill program at the Project are expected to be released over the coming weeks.
Key Highlights
NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “We are continuing to build a meaningful, near-surface, high-grade oxide gold story at Limousine Butte. The two holes that we have drilled to date at the newly discovered Cadillac Valley South target area have had consistent oxide gold grades over positive intercepts and have further expanded the mineralized footprint at the larger Cadillac Valley target. The drilling at Limousine Butte over the past 12 months has shown higher grade material than many heap-leach projects in production or development in the Western USA. As previously indicated since the announcement of our option agreement on Nutmeg Mountain which closed on July 5, we will continue to aggressively and systematically advance Limousine Butte to a near-term resource. The remaining assays from our 10,000 meter drill program are expected shortly and will be released over the coming weeks.”
NevGold VP Exploration, Derick Unger, comments: “Hole CV22-007 further confirms the extents of the gold system at Cadillac Valley and speaks to the broader potential for discovery at the Limousine Butte project. While the drillhole crossed the major northeast striking fault, it confirms the fault was an important conduit for the gold-bearing fluids and shows that the CSAMT geophysical surveys that we inherited with the property can identify both the conductive zones associated with the faults and the resistive zones associated with the mineralization. The CSAMT surveys extend to the south of holes CV22-006 and CV22-007 and we are excited to continue to test the Cadillac Valley South area which has the potential for additional mineralization over a minimum strike length of another 1.5 kilometers.”

* Downhole thickness reported; true width varies depending on drill hole dip and is approximately 70 to 90% of downhole thickness.
** Drill results from core holes CV22-001 to CV22-003 were released on April 6, 2022. Drill results from reverse circulation (“RC”) holes CV22-004 to CV22-006 were released on June 2, 2022.
*** CV22-004 was lost in mineralization due to ground complexities. Target depth extended another 200 meters.
