Vancouver, British Columbia, April 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NevGold Corp. (“
NevGold
” or the “

) (
Frankfurt:

) is pleased to announce further assays from the Company’s drill program at the Cadillac Valley target area at its Limousine Butte Project, Nevada (the “Project”) located on the southern part of the Carlin Trend. Further assays from the Company’s inaugural 10,000 meter drill program at the Project are expected regularly for the remainder of the first half of 2022.

Large,
Open Mineraliz
ed
Footprint
:
the mineralized area at Cadillac Valley extends over 1 km along strike and over 400 meters laterally, defining a large, oxide, mineralized footprint (Figure 1). There are numerous further targets that will be tested in the current drill program. -
Mineralization
Trends
Up-Dip and Shallower
:
as expected based on the Company’s geological interpretation and model, holes CV22-002 and CV22-003 confirm mineralization trends up-dip and shallower further south at the Cadillac Valley target area. (See Figure 2) The assays received to date have been important data points to vector in on new areas of potential mineralization. -
Highly Oxidized Mineralization:
assay results from all of the holes received at Cadillac Valley reported oxidized mineralization. Oxidized mineralization has been seen in all of the holes drilled to date by the Company at Limousine Butte.
NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments:
“
Building on the initial assay
s
release
d
from Cadillac Valley on March 8,
we have re
ceived
the remaining assays from CV22-001,
along with
holes CV22-002 and CV22-003.
These results have
started to
confirm
the large extent of the mineralized
footprint
at Cadillac Valley
,
which extends
over 1
km
northeast to southwest, and
over
400 meters laterally
. I
t
is
becoming
clear there is a large,
oxide
gold
system
at this important target area
at the project
.
As
we
highlighted in our previous disclosure, i
t is also promising to see the geological model being validated with the
up-dip trend of mineralization
as we work further
s
outh at Cadillac Valley
.
We will remain consistent
with assays over the coming months from the 10,000 meter
drill
program at
Limousine Butte
.”

:
“
We are very
encouraged by
this
further data from
Cadillac Valley, which is
becoming a large target
area
based on these results.
We are gaining a strong understanding of the structural characteristics, which is helping us re
fine
the drill program as data is received
from the assay lab
,
which is occurring in a
n
expedited fashion.
The remaining assays from CV22-001 have confirmed a thick,
high-grade
interval of oxidized gold mineralization
.
We
also
expected mineralization to trend
up-dip and
shallower
as we drilled further
s
outh at Cadillac Valley, and it is exciting to see this interpreta
tion validated
based on the results seen in CV22-002 and CV22-003
. We have completed subsequent holes at
both Resurrection Ridge and
Cadillac Valley and expect further assays shortly

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
: All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s geologists and the chain of custody from the Project to the independent sample preparation facility, American Assay Labs in Sparks, NV, was continuously monitored. The samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard fire assay methods. A blank and certified reference material was inserted approximately every 20
th
sample and duplicates of coarse reject material was analyzed approximately every 20
th
sample. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
