NV Gold Corporation (TSX- V:NVX)  is pleased to announce that it has acquired through staking, a significant land position covering a known, historical shallow gold system located along the Cortez Gold Belt 6 km southwest of the Pipeline Gold Mine, operated by Barrick Gold Corp. Publicly available reports indicate that the Pipeline Mine is estimated to contain at least 20 million ounces of gold (comprised of past production plus publicly-reported reserves). The Company’s new project, SW Pipe, adjoins claims controlled by Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining and represents the first property acquisition since NV Gold purchased the properties and exploration database of Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX-V:RGC) as announced on September 30, 2016.

The newly staked land position, named the SW Pipe Project, covers approximately 6.5 square km (2.5 square miles) and is reported to host a shallow, sediment-hosted gold system, and is currently being evaluated by NV Gold. Historic vertical drilling, (as outlined in Table 1), mostly between 1989 and 1997 and within 150 m of surface, intersected significant shallow gold mineralization, including:

* 0.44 g/t over 17 m containing 2.36 g/t over 1.5 m, and

* 0.75 g/t over 11 m containing 1.83 g/t over 3 m, and

* 0.60 g/t over 18 m containing 1.35 g/t over 5 m.

NV Gold’s President, John Watson, states: “The SW Pipe Gold Project, acquired for minimal cost through direct staking only, demonstrates our commitment to not only continue to grow the recently-acquired property portfolio, but ensures we minimize the costs and expenses going forward. We will immediately complete a detailed analysis of the historical data, and then present the property available for farm-out.”

Mineralization is observed largely within 100 m of surface, and is reportedly within the Silurian Elder Sandstone, a unit within the western-facies sequence within the upper-plate of the regional Roberts Mountains thrust fault. Historical work by previous operators has identified gold mineralization over a vertical range of at least 320 m within an area of at least 1,200 m by 800 m.

The Company has obtained and is continuing to review the historic exploration data, which includes original assay certificates and drill logs from drill holes, surface rock-chip and soil data, internal third party reports and geologic and geophysical interpretations. Although the historic exploration data was generated by reputable companies, NV Gold cannot verify the data or determine the quality assurance and quality control measures applied in generating the data other than to review the assay certificates and drill logs. Accordingly, the Company cautions that the exploration data reported in this news release may not be reliable.

In addition to reviewing these datasets, the Company will be developing a 3D model of the drilling and plans to conduct further geologic field studies. This work will be aimed at assessing the potential for mineralization beyond the historic drilling and, in particular, for mineralization within steep “feeder” structures, which have not have been tested by the historic vertical drilling.
