Nevada Sunrise Provides Exploration Update
for the Gemini Lithium Project and the Kinsley
Mountain Gold Project, Nevada
TSXV: NEV
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Feb. 22, 2022
/CNW/ -
Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise",
or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to provide an update on 2022 activities for two of its
Nevada
mineral exploration projects: the Gemini Lithium Project and the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project.
Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini")
Nevada Sunrise owns a 100% interest in Gemini, which is located in the Lida Valley basin in
Esmeralda County
, Nevada. The Company, through its
Nevada
subsidiary, has executed a drilling
contract with O'Keefe Drilling Company of
Butte, Montana
, for up to 3,500 feet (1,067 metres) of
reverse circulation ("RC") drilling on untested geophysical anomalies identified by ground gravity and
electromagnetic surveys. The exploration objectives for the Gemini West target are twofold: testing
the conductive zone for lithium brines at depth and analyzing for lithium-in-sediment, which has never
been tested in the western Lida Valley. Drilling is planned to begin in the second week of
March
2022
.

About Gemini
Gemini consists of 13 unpatented placer claims totaling 260 acres (105 hectares) located in the
western Lida Valley,
Esmeralda County
, approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of
Lida,
Nevada
. Gemini is situated adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a Bureau of Land
Management land reserve set aside for solar and wind power generation projects until 2033. Drill
pads and access roads are in place at Gemini with an active drilling permit, and the claims are in
good standing until
September 1, 2022
.
The Lida Valley is a flat, arid basin with a similar geological setting to the better-known
Clayton
Valley
basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium brine mine, which has
operated continuously since 1966. Exploration at Gemini is complemented by the Company's 80.09
acre/feet/year water right, a pre-requisite for the exploration and development of lithium brine
projects in
Nevada
. Under
State of Nevada
law, water cannot be pumped from a subterranean
source without a valid water permit.

Kinsley Mountain Gold Project ("Kinsley Mountain")
Nevada Sunrise also announces that its joint venture partner, New Placer Dome Gold Corp. ("New
Placer Dome") (TSXV: NGLD) reports that IP/resistivity surveying is ongoing at Kinsley Mountain,
currently targeting the under-explored
Kinsley North Range
. Five survey lines totaling 15.9 line
kilometres have been completed at Kinsley North with an additional nine lines totaling 29.7 line
kilometres planned.
Highlights of New Kinsley North Range IP/Resistivity Targets
2021-2022 IP/resistivity surveys expanded 6.5 kilometres north of the high-grade gold Western
Flank Zone to test underexplored
Kinsley North Range
targets (see Figure 1).
Chargeability breaks indicative of significant displacement and arsenic ± antimony in soil
anomalies associated with property-scale northwest-trending fault structures analogous to those
host significant gold resources along the Kinsley NW fault.
Chargeability/resistivity breaks and broad arsenic ± antimony in soil anomalies associated with
northeast to northwest-trending block faulting exposing prospective lower Pogonip Group
carbonate rocks.
Chargeability highs are associated with mapped jasperoid and arsenic-antimony in soil anomaly
along north-trending fault structure in the centre of the range.
Nine Kinsley North IP/resistivity lines are planned to cover a significant strike length of block
faulted Pogonip Group and upper Notch Peak Formation rocks on the east side of the Kinsley
Range.

Methodology and QA/QC
A total of 14 lines totalling approximately 50.9 line kilometres were completed to mid-February
during the 2021-2022 Kinsley Mountain geophysical program. The lines are spaced 150 to 1,000
metres apart, with line lengths ranging from approximately 2.5 to 4.0 kilometres. Data were
collected using the Direct Current Resistivity, Induced Polarization ("DCIP") method, on a 16-channel
pole-dipole array with a dipole size (a-spacing) of 100 metres. A GDD GRx16 receiver and GDD
5000W-2400V-20A IP Tx model Tx4 transmitter was used. Raw data were loaded into GDD IP
Post-Process software and Geosoft Oasis Montaj software for quality control and review. The
reviewed data were used to produce pseudo section plots of apparent resistivity and apparent
chargeability and were the input for the inversion. Inversions were completed using the UBC-GIF
DCIP2D inversion codes. Each line of data was inverted independently. The resistivity and IP
inversion is a two-step process. The resistivity inversion is run first, and this model is used in the
chargeability inversion. Multiple inversions were completed for quality control.
