NV Gold Completes Further Expanded Drill Program at its Sandy Gold Project in Nevada

NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has completed its expanded reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its 100% owned Sandy Gold Project ("Sandy"), located within the Walker Lane, Lyon County, Nevada, USA. The expanded program was comprised of 17 RC drill holes totalling 3,811 m (12,505 ft), or an approximate 150% increase from the originally planned 1,500 m. All samples have now been delivered to the assay laboratory and are awaiting assay

"Since announcing the expansion of our RC drill program at Sandy, further holes continued to yield intervals displaying intensely hydrothermally altered rock, quartz vein material and considerable pyrite. Because of these positive indications, NV Gold elected to expand its drill program by 150%," commented Peter A. Ball, CEO of NV Gold. "Drilling provides an indication the newly discovered epithermal system has at least a 2.4-kilometer strike-length. Recent high-grade gold from surface rock chip sampling supports this observation. The Company is now planning to complete a property-wide induced polarization-resistivity ("IP") survey to further evaluate this exciting system. The IP-resistivity survey will help to identify and distinguish zones of high chargeability, or sulphides, and resistivity to delineate silicification. It will also provide information regarding the depth to underlying shaly basement."

Review of the Expanded Drill Phase I Program at the Sandy Gold Project

As previously stated in the news release dated February 9th, 2021, the Company believes that drilling has encountered a large epithermal gold system defined by extensive argillic to propylitic alteration with intervals of moderate to intense quartz and pyrite veining (Figure 1). Some of the quartz vein intercepts from the current drill program have measured up to 30 m (100 ft) wide. Quartz vein cuttings often display multi-phase brecciation, a sign of boiling in the system, a good indicator for potential high-grade mineralization. Most of NV Gold's drill holes have far exceeded the depth of historical drilling conducted in 1993.

Based on the expanded drill program, the newly identified mineralized vein system now has a strike length of at least 2.4-kilometer (1.5 miles) and is hosted by a thick andesite volcanic package. Some of the underlying shaly basement rocks continued to show visual evidence of veining and alteration. Most of the property remains undrilled, and the system remains open at depth and in adjacent areas under late volcanic cover.
