NioGold Confirms Continuity of Mineralized Zones at Marban Deposit

NioGold Mining Corp. (TSXV:NOX,OTCQX:NOXGF) released results from 25 new diamond drill holes completed as part of a resource definition program at the modeled open-pit shell of the Marban deposit. The deposit is located at the company’s Quebec-based Marban Block project.

Drill highlights include:

• 36.01 g/t Au over 1.2 m in drill hole MB-15-411 at 150 m vertical depth.
• 31.80 g/t Au over 1.1 m in drill hole MB-15-413 at 205 m vertical depth.
• 5.87 g/t Au over 4.9 m in drill hole MB-15-413 at 235 m vertical depth.
• 123.5 g/t Au over 1.2 m in drill hole MB-15-415 at 80 m vertical depth.
• 3.73 g/t Au over 10.2 m in drill hole MB-15-416 at 200 m vertical depth.
• 4.51 g/t Au over 16.2 m in drill hole MB-15-417 at 360 m vertical depth.
• 1.40 g/t Au over 15.6 m in drill hole MB-15-418 at 100 m vertical depth.
• 2.29 g/t Au over 12.1 m in drill hole MB-15-425 at 175 m vertical depth.
• 20.3 g/t Au over 1.0 m in drill hole MB-15-426 at 50 m vertical depth.

All of the above-listed intersections are within the modelled open-pit shell, with the exception of drill hole MB-15-417. This new series contains drill holes throughout the strike length of the deposit (sections 3500^E to 4550^E).

Robert Wares, president and CEO of NioGold, commented:

Another positive set of drill results confirms the continuity of mineralized zones within the Marban deposit. The addition of 20,000 metres of drilling, mostly along new 25-metre sections, will strengthen the resource model and should allow for the increased definition of measured resources, ultimately yielding an extremely robust resource model at Marban.
