NV Gold Announces Exploration Target at its Slumber Gold Project of up to ~450,000 Gold Ounces

NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF)(FSE:8NV) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a technical update for the Company's 100%-owned Slumber Gold Project ("Slumber") located 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Winnemucca, and 37 kilometers (23 miles) west of the Sleeper gold deposit, in Humboldt County, Nevada (see Figure 1). The technical update has identified an estimated exploration target (the "Exploration Target") of 150,000 - 450,000 ounces of gold (see Table 1

Table 1: Exploration Target potential grades and tonnages, with the potential tonnage and grade using a maximum and minimum of 20% increase/decrease to allow for uncertainty.

^{(1) The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature. There has not been sufficient exploration drilling to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.}

Exploration Target Summary:

Like nearby epithermal volcanic hosted gold deposits, such as the Sleeper mine (37 kilometers east-northeast) and the Sandman resource (45 kilometers southeast), gold occurs in rhyolitic to rhyodacitic tuffs, breccias, and other volcanic rocks. Alteration consists of silicification, veining, and argillization. Nearly all the mineralization is oxidized. Drilling to-date suggests zones of mineralization can occur in both sub-horizontal stratigraphically hosted deposition, as well as sub-vertical, structurally controlled deposition.

There have been 29 reverse circulation drill holes by NV Gold from 2019 to 2022 and 6 reverse circulation drill holes by Amax Gold Inc. ("Amax Gold") in 1988, both of which were combined for this analysis. Based on the data from both drilling periods, there is not presently sufficient drilling density to calculate an Inferred Resource (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standard for Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101")). An Exploration Target is an identified zone or zones of mineralized rock that potentially could be subsequently converted to a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource with at least one additional drill program. The data currently available does provide an Exploration Target that contains between 35 million tons and 50 million tons, with grades ranging from 0.15 gram per ton to 0.31 gram per ton. The target has been developed and modeled in 3-dimensional and in 2-dimensional sections using the average grade for mineralized intercepts from all holes on or on near-by 50-meter spaced sections. A range of density values from 2.3 g/cm³ to 2.5 g/cm³ was used in the tonnage calculation based on a 2020 geophysical report on the local and regional gravity written by Thomas V Weis and Associates, Inc. This exploration target is based on 29 intervals (25 from the Company and 4 from Amax Gold) of at least 3.1 meters downhole thickness, considered mineralized, covering a surface area of approximately 400 meters east to west, and 700 meters north to south, with the largest distance between the Company's drill holes of approximately 200 meters (see Figure 2).

Thomas Klein, VP Exploration stated, "I am excited by the outcome of this technical update ("Exploration Target") and the potential ounces modeled by Mr. Jesse D. Wellman. NV Gold has successfully delineated a substantial near-surface, oxide gold system at its Slumber property in Humboldt County, Nevada. The gold zone is very homogenous and comprehensive, and preliminary AuCN tests returned potentially high gold recoveries. The gold system remains open in multiple directions and at depth, and last year's mercury vapor survey has identified numerous additional targets to be drill-tested (see Figure 3). I am confident that the Slumber gold system will grow significantly and has potential for higher gold grade (Sleeper-like) structures; and that more drilling could lead to the next oxide gold discovery in Nevada."

Jesse D. Wellman, CPG stated, "The Slumber project checks most of the boxes of a textbook volcanic hosted epithermal style gold setting. This should be an exciting project exploring and developing the full picture of what appears to be a primarily covered, potentially intact, well mineralized gold system."
