Nexus Gold Mobilizes Diamond Drill to the Mckenzie Gold Project, Red Lake, Ontario

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Vancouver, Canada TheNewswire - March 25, 2021 - Nexus Gold Corp. (" Nexus " or the " Company ") (TSXV:NXS ) ( OTC:NXXGF ) ( FSE:N6E) is pleased to report that its drilling contractor, Full Force Drilling, is currently mobilizing crews and equipment to the Company's 100%-owned McKenzie Gold Project, located in Red Lake, Ontario.

 

  This phase two program will consist of up to 2000 meters of diamond drilling to test the lateral and depth extensions of gold mineralization found during last summer's drill program in the St. Paul's Bay area of the property.   Drilling is expected to commence over the upcoming weekend.  

 

  During the company's 2020 phase one drill program gold mineralization was encountered in 11 of 13 holes drilled with significant intersections being reported from holes MK-20-006 which returned 2.75 meters of 13.25 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), including 36.20 g/t Au over 1m, and   MK-20-008 returned a significant intercept of 117.5 meters of 0.62 g/t Au, including 55.5 meters of 1.00 g/t Au, which also includes intercepts of 6m of 2.37 g/t Au, 2m of 4.28 g/t Au, and 9m of 1.14 g/t Au, among others (see table 1). Drill hole MK-20-007, which was drilled approximately 25m east of hole MK-20-008, returned anomalous gold grades of 0.36 g/t Au over 117m, including notable intercepts 9.4m of 1.26 g/t Au, 4m of 1.13 g/t Au, and 1.5m of 4.64 g/t Au.  

 

  "We are happy to get back to McKenzie and potentially build on the positive results of last year," said Alex Klenman, President and CEO.  "With that initial drill program, we were able to not only replicate the higher-grade, narrow gold intercepts previously encountered in historical drilling, but we were also able to establish the presence of lengthier runs of near one-gram disseminated gold, which hadn't been drilled there before.  With two types of mineralization in the southern section of the property, it's a compelling target area and one we're eager to expand on," continued Mr. Klenman.  

 

  Gold intercepts from the phase one program are tabled below:

  Table 1: Summary of significant drill results, summer 2020 drill program, McKenzie Gold Project  

 

  The company will be testing two styles of mineralization on the property, with a series of gold bearing quartz veins encountered in holes MK-20-1-6, 9, and 10 and broader, disseminated gold mineralization occurring in the Dome Stock in drill holes Mk-20-007 and 008.  The company has once again contracted Rimini Exploration to operate the project and conduct the geological and technical logging as well as handling, splitting, and sampling of the drill core.

Top 5 Junior Gold Mining Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The gold price continued to surge to new record highs in the second quarter of the year, reaching an all-time high of C$4,663.85 per ounce, or US$3,433.47, on June 13.

The gains were primarily fueled by safe-haven investment as Israel and the United States launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and Iran retaliated against targets in Israel and a US base in Qatar. Although a ceasefire was announced, tensions in the region remain high.

Additional tailwinds come from the continuing uncertainty in global financial markets, stemming from shifting US trade policy and Donald Trump's ongoing, on-again-off-again tariff plans.
