NV Gold Doubles Size of Current Drill Program - Samples up to 18.1 g/t Gold at Surface at the Sandy Gold Project

NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that based on positive visual indications, it is increasing its current reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its 100% owned Sandy Gold Project ("Sandy"), located within the Walker Lane, Lyon County, Nevada, USA to approximately 3,100 m from the originally planned 1,500 m. In addition, the Company has received positive results up to 18.1 gt gold in rock grab samples from recent a surface sampling program

"Our first RC few holes at Sandy yielded extensive intervals of cuttings displaying intensely hydrothermally altered rock, quartz vein material and considerable pyrite,"commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Director of NV Gold. "We have also confirmed that the target area is mantled by late volcanic rocks and that the buried mineralizing system is quite extensive. In short, we think we have discovered a major epithermal mineralizing system on our Sandy claims. Recent surface rock chip samples indicate this system can generate high gold grades. Based on this encouragement, we have decided to double our current drill program to over 3,000 m to give this target a more thorough initial test."

High Level Notes from Current Sandy Gold Project Phase I Drill Program

RC drilling at NV Gold Corporation's Sandy Gold Project in the Walker Lane, 15 kilometers east of Dayton within the wider Comstock Mine district, is in progress with 11 RC drill holes encompassing 2,671 m (8,765 feet) completed to date. Many samples have been delivered to the assay laboratory and are awaiting assay, and labs currently are on a 90-day turn around for receipt.

After review of the RC drill chips, 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. 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 (Figure 2). Most of NV Gold's drill holes have far exceeded the depth of historical drilling conducted in 1993.

Thus far, the newly identified mineralized vein system has a strike length of over 800 m, and is hosted by a thick andesite volcanic package. Some of the underlying shaly basement rocks also showed visual evidence of veining and hydrothermal fluid flow. The alteration footprint at the surface has a strike length of 2,400 m and a width of approximately 300 to 500 m. Most of the property remains undrilled, and the system remains open at depth and under late volcanic cover.

A small surface rock chip sampling program completed at the Sandy Gold Project yielded positive gold values from anomalous to high grade. Of note, three samples yielded 11.3 g/t Au and 11.6 g/t Ag, 11.5 g/t Au and 14.1 g/t Ag, and 18.1 g/t Au and 43.2 g/t Ag (refer to Figure 1).

Based on positive visuals in RC drill cuttings, the Company has elected to double the planned drill program to better understand the total extent of the epithermal vein system by drilling deeper and through fresh volcanic cover, especially in the northeastern strongly silicified portion of the property.

Investor Education: Gold vs. US Dollar Outlook with Expert Don Hansen

Private investor Don Hansen has honed his resource sector investment approach for more than 20 years, and he shared his latest research in a conversation with the Investing News Network.

He discussed the US dollar's rise and fall as the world's reserve currency, as well as how China is shifting away from the dollar and toward gold. Hansen also went over data on the inverse relationship between the gold price and the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX), explaining how decades-long patterns show where both are heading.

"The exciting part to me is when we look at the previous data you can see that the stock market phase is about to end. It's at a very high level and it's at the end of its period," he explained during the interview.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Shares 2024 Price Calls for Gold and Copper

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is maintaining its bullish stance on commodities as they continue to enjoy strong cyclical and structural support, and as the US and Europe move closer to cutting interest rates.

The American investment bank said it sees raw materials potentially returning 15 percent in 2024.

“We find that US rate cuts in non-recessionary environments lead to higher commodity prices, with the biggest boost to metals (copper and gold in particular), followed by crude oil,” Bloomberg quotes analysts Samantha Dart and Daan Struyven as saying in a note this past Sunday (March 24). “Importantly, the positive impact on prices tends to increase with time, as the growth impulse from looser financial conditions filters through.”
