Nevgold Identifies +6 Meter Wide Undrilled Outcropping Vein and Finds Visible GOLD IN Historical Core at Nutmeg Mountain
NEVGOLD IDENTIFIES +6 METER WIDE UNDRILLED OUTCROPPING VEIN AND
FINDS VISIBLE GOLD IN HISTORICAL CORE AT NUTMEG MOUNTAIN
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 8, 2022 – NevGold Corp. (“NevGold” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:NAU) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce it has identified an undrilled
+6 meter wide banded low-sulphidation epithermal vein outcropping at surface over 650 meters away from
the main resource body at the Nutmeg Mountain Project in Idaho. (See Note 1: historical 2020 mineral
resource estimate of 910,000 Indicated ounces of gold (43.5 Mt @ 0.65 g/t Au) , and 160,000 Inferred
ounces of gold (9.1 Mt @ 0.56 g/t Au)) The Company also identified visible gold in previously assayed
historical core during a detailed core relogging campaign completed since the transaction closed on July 5,
2022. The core relogging and surface mapping campaign is now complete, and the project has been
advanced to the drill-ready stage by identifying multiple resource expansion and exploration targets.
Key Highlights
• Untapped Lateral Resource Expansion Potential: identification of a large epithermal vein
outcropping at surface with no historical drilling over 650 meters south of the main 2020 resource
at Nutmeg Mountain (Figure 1) opens meaningful lateral resource expansion potential and could
be the high-level portion of a high-grade feeder zone. The outcropping vein has a width of over 6
meters and over 100 meters of exposed strike length with no historical drilling. Geochemical and
textural signatures indicate it is near the top of the epithermal system, above the expected gold -
silver zone. (Figure 2)
• High Grade Opportunity: the Company has identified a large, structurally controlled, high-grade
core in the 2020 resource. Most of the historical drilling completed at the project has been vertical
and the extents of the higher-grade portions of the orebody have not been fully tested at depth or
along strike. This is an immediate opportunity to increase the size and grade of the resource. Visible
gold was observed in historically drilled core starting at 45.4 meters depth. (Figure 3)
• Phase 1 Core Relogging and Surface Mapping Completed, Project i s Drill -Ready: the
Company has diligently completed an initial geological mapping and relogging program focused
on the historical work completed on the project. There are many untapped opportunities identified,
which will be the focus of the initial program at the project.
NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “Although we just closed the transaction on July 5, our
team has diligently worked to get Nutmeg Mountain to the drill -ready stage. Through the field and core
relogging program, we have identified a number of positive developments that were not initially expected
after completion of our due diligence on the project. The identification of an outcropping vein at surface
over 650 meters away from the main 2020 resource boundary, with all the telltale signatures of a strong
epithermal gold system has become an outstanding growth target. To our pleasant surprise we also found
un-assayed core in the historical core yard with visible veining occurring outside of the 2020 resource
boundary. We are confident that we have built a cost-effective, streamlined work program to deliver value
from Nutmeg Mountain to both expand the gold resource and discover new ore in the district.”
NevGold VP Exploration, Derick Unger, comments: “We have rapidly advanced the field work and core
relogging at Nutmeg Mountain and the project continues to impress us. The identification of a +6 meter
wide, large banded vein with near surface silica textures and no previous drilling is just one example of the
potential for new discoveries on the Nutmeg property. Additionally, our relogging of previously drilled core
has found unsampled veins in the drill core, and observed visible gold in previously sampled core from only
45.4 meters depth. Combined, all indications are that this is a strong gold system that starts at the surface
and has untested high -grade potential at depth. We have multiple exploration and resource expansion
targets already identified at Nutmeg and we look forward to our first drill program during the fall.”

2020 resource estimate at Nutmeg Mountain. The vein is strongly banded and brecciated with near surface chalcedonic silica
textures and cinnabar mineralization, indicating it is above the typical low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver high-grade zone.
