NevGold Intercepts Consistent Oxide Antimony-Gold Mineralization in All Drillholes From Historic Crushed Leach Pad Including 0.32% Antimony And 0.39 g/t Au Over 14.9 Meters

 

 

 

 

 

NevGold Corp. (TSX-V:NAU) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce positive, consistent antimony and gold mineralization in all drillholes from the historic Crushed leach pad (see Key Highlights and Appendix I – Drillhole Summary Table) at its Limousine Butte Project in Nevada. The historic gold leach pads date from 1989-1990 mining operations, which were not processed for antimony, in a less than US$400/oz gold price environment. Results from the historic leach pads highlight a significant near-term opportunity for potential antimony production by 2027. The Company is rapidly advancing the maiden antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate on the historic gold leach pads and broader project area, including Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley, at Limo Butte.

 

Key Highlights

  • All drillhole assays from the Crushed leach pad have returned positive, consistent oxide antimony and gold grades:
    • LBS26-014: 0.32% Sb, 0.39 g/t Au over 14.9 meters
    • LBS26-019: 0.30% Sb, 0.37 g/t Au over 16.5 meters

LBS26-016: 0.27% Sb, 0.37 g/t Au over 14.0 meters

  • Maiden antimony-gold MRE on the historic gold leach pads and broader project area including Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley is rapidly progressing; critical step in the development path toward antimony production b y 2027
  • Antimony is one of the highest priority Critical Minerals due to its strategic importance and military applications
  • Limo Butte is a brownfield mine site located in the State of Nevada with at-surface oxide antimony mineralization that is emerging as a strategic Critical Minerals project in the United States

 

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “With consistent oxide antimony and gold in all drillholes from the Crushed leach pad, Limo Butte is emerging as one of the most important Critical Minerals projects in the United States. The Project has a near-term opportunity to play a key role in establishing a vertically integrated, domestic antimony supply chain. We have oxide antimony mineralization at surface in the historic leach pads that is ready to be processed without large-scale mining activities. We will have further updates released shortly including additional drill results from the historic Run of Mine leach pad, sampling results from the newly defined at-surface pre-strip dump from the historic Golden Butte pit, and the upcoming maiden antimony-gold Mineral Resource Estimate. We will also commence our 2026 20,000 meter drill program over the coming weeks focused on expansion and new discoveries utilizing our NevGold geological model of Limo Butte.”

Previously released drillholes are transparent, and new holes are labelled and solid. Also included are the Phase 1 test pit sampling antimony results. The historically mined leach pads have material at surface that was previously mined and crushed with consistent antimony-gold mineralization.
