Nexus Gold Corp.

Vancouver, Canada TheNewswire - June 7, 2023 Nexus Gold Corp. (" Nexus Gold " or the " Company ") (TSXV:NXS ) ( OTC:NXXGF ) ( FSE:N6E) is pleased to announce it has signed an option agreement to acquire a 90% interest in the 6,200-ha (62km²) Fofora Gold Project exploration permit located 450km to the southwest of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa.  The Company can earn up to a 90% interest in the property by making a combination of cash USD $300,000 and 500,000 share payments over 54 months.

The Fofora permit is located on the eastern side of the Hounde greenstone belt in the Kampti department; in the province of Poni, near the border with Cote D'Ivoire. The Hounde Greenstone Belt is host to several large-scale operating gold mines, including Endeavour's Mana and Hounde Mines, Futurna Silver's Yaramoko Mine as well as multiple other producing mines and large-scale discoveries.

The property has been explored in the past by Volta Resources and later by Roxgold and Fortuna Silver.  Previous work on the property has identified a 2-kilometer gold in soil geochemical trend straddling the geological contact between andesitic and basaltic rocks.  This contact zone correlates well with the regional magnetic data.  Silt samples collected from adjacent drainages have returned reported values of 327 & 127 ppb gold.  A second target area is situated 7000 meters south of the first trend.  This is an area of active artisanal mining.  A rock sample collected here by the company in February returned a value 9820 ppb (9.8 g/t) gold.  See Figure 2 below.

"With the addition of Fofora we now have three top tier gold exploration projects in our West African portfolio," said CEO, Milad Zareian.  "We are eager to get back to work in Burkina and look forward to drilling as soon as possible.  We are hopeful that once the rainy season is behind us later this summer that we'll be able to announce a meaningful work program," continued Mr. Zareian.

  • 35 metres ("m") at 4.1 grams per tonne ("g/t Au") in drill hole BSR-21-RC-FFR-218 from 86m including:

    • 9m at 12.1 g/t Au from 96m

    • 1m at 65.6 g/t Au from 94m

  • 2m at 11.7 g/t Au in drill hole BSR-21-RC-FFR-187 from 37m including:

    • 1m at 20.9 g/t Au from 38m

  • 3m at 33.6 g/t Au in drill hole BSR-21-RC-FFR-201 from 6m

The company intends to conduct a first pass exploration program over the summer to follow up on the areas mentioned above and to test additional areas.

Following that announcement, Zodiac Gold has received substantial interest from multiple parties regarding these high-potential assets.
