Nevada Sunrise and Liberty Gold commence drilling program at Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Nevada

2018 Drilling at Kinsley Mountain

Nevada Sunrise and Liberty Gold approved the 2018 budget for Kinsley Mountain at US$560,000. Six reverse circulation holes totaling approximately 2,250 metres (7,380 feet) are planned in three prospective target areas:

• Three holes are planned to test the eastern extension of the Western Flank gold deposit. Liberty Gold, as operator, discovered the deposit in 2014 hosted by the Secret Canyon Shale and outlined a sulphide resource estimate, using multiple cut-offs1, of 284,000 Indicated ounces of gold grading 6.04 grams per tonne (“g/t”) and 39,000 Inferred ounces grading 2.41 g/t gold (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated November 5, 2015).
• Two holes are planned to the south of the Western Flank deposit, in the Anticline Target on the south side of the main Kinsley NW fault.
• A sixth hole is planned in the Ridge Pit zone, to test for gold mineralization at depth in the Secret Canyon Shale. This hole will be angled to the northwest testing the southern extension of the Anticline Target.
