NexGold VP Sustainability Receives Prestigious Mining Society of
Nova Scotia Medal
TORONTO, June 18, 2025 – NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) (“NexGold” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Deidre Puddister, VP Sustainability with NexGold, has been
honoured with the prestigious Mining Society of Nova Scotia Medal. The Mining Society Medal is awarded
in recognition of exceptional service rendered to the mining industry in the Province of Nova Scotia and
is decided by a special committee. The Mining Society of Nova Scotia is an independent society affiliated
with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ( CIM) with a rich history dating back to
the 1890s in Nova Scotia.
The award was announced and presented at the Mining Society's 138th annual meeting and conference
held at Oak Island Resort, Nova Scotia on June 12, 2025, which was attended by members of the Nova
Scotia mining community, government officials, Ministers, and Rightsholders. The Mining Society Medal
was awarded to Ms. Puddister for o utstanding contributions to the mining industry in Nova Scotia,
particularly through her work related to the Goldboro Gold Project, where Deidre has been responsible
for Indigenous and community engagement, project permitting, government relations, as well as leading
environmental stewardship. Highlighted in the announcement was Ms . Puddister’s work with Mi’kmaq
First Nations of Mi’kma’ki, especially Paq’tnkek, as well as Kwilmu'kw Maw- klusuaqn (KMK) to learn
about the Mi’kmaq and to understand how the Goldboro Gold Project can both impact and benefit those
communities. Working closely with Mi’qmaq leaders, Deidre’s work has recently culminated in the signing
of an historic benefits agreement with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs – the first of its kind
in Nova Scotia.
Ms. Puddister commented: “I am honoured to receive the Mining Society of Nova Scotia Medal and to be
recognized by the Society. I am also honoured to work with numerous individuals and groups within
communities and First Nations and to have met so many valued colleagues and friends through our work
together on the Goldboro Gold Project. NexGold values open and transparent engagement on all its
projects and believes in long term relationship building and that all stakeholders and rightsholders are
important to the successful and sustainable development of mining projects and responsible development
of natural resources. At NexGold, we will continue to build on the valued relationships we have made in
Nova Scotia as we advance the Goldboro Gold Project towards full permitting and a construction
decision.”
