(released on February 8, 2022). Additionally, LB21-005 expanded the mineralized footprint at depth with a hole located over 100 meters northeast of LB21-004. -
Large,

Footprint
at Resurrection Ridge
Continues to Grow
:
the current mineralized area at Resurrection Ridge now extends over
70

meters
along strike
and over
350
meters
laterally
. There is also another
+

km of untested strike
length
to the
northeast
of LB21-005 (Figure 1), which will be a key focus of drilling at Resurrection Ridge to further expand the mineralized footprint. -
Near-
S

Mineralization
Under
Shallow
Cover
:
mineralization at Resurrection Ridge starts at vertical depth below surface of approximately 20-60 meters. -
Highly Oxidized Mineralization:
oxidized mineralization has been seen in all of the holes drilled to date by the Company at Limousine Butte.
NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments:
“
We are
excited about the
further
positive
results
received from Resurrection Ridge,
along with our recent
ly released
drill
results
from the Cadillac Valley target area. Resurrection Ridge continues to expand
to the northeast
with
a currently defined area of
over 700 meters along strike and over 350 meters laterally,
and has all the signatures of a
near-surface, oxide
, heap-leach
gold
orebody.
With the expansion of mineralization to the northeast, we are
eager
to continue step-out
drilling
as there is also another
further
1.0 kilometers of untested strike length.
We have
significant
ly
expanded the
mineralized footprints at both Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley
in this drill program
and these
two target areas
will form the basis of advancing Limo
usine
Butte to a near-term resource
estimate
.

“
Th
is new drilling at Resurrection Ridge both expands the mineralized footprint and confirms our geologic model that
mineralization
continues to the northeast. We consider this area especially prospective because
the outcrops appear to be
older dolomites
that
have been faulted over the favorable Pilot Shale host-rock. No drilling has been completed under the dolomites because the
y serve as
an
impermeable cap that
c
ould
conceal mineralization. Testing areas
with
potential
for
concealed mineralization is the key to unlocking
more value at Limousine Butte and
expanding
the mineralized system
with the objective of driving towards a multi-
million ounce
resource base

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
: All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s geologists and the chain of custody from the Project to the independent sample preparation facility, American Assay Labs in Sparks, NV, was continuously monitored. The samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard fire assay methods. A blank and certified reference material was inserted approximately every 20
th
sample, and field duplicates were collected and analyzed approximately every 20
th
sample. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
Technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Derick Unger, CPG, the Company’s Vice President, Exploration, who is NevGold’s qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 and responsible for technical matters of this release.
