NEVADA KING ANNOUNCES MORE THAN DOUBLING OF M&I RESOURCE

AT ATLANTA TO 1,019,600 GOLD OUNCES AVERAGING 1.14 G/T

VANCOUVER, BC

June 4, 2025

/CNW/ -

Nevada King Gold Corp.

(TSXV: NKG) (OTCQB: NKGFF) ("

Nevada King

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to report an

updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("

MRE

") for its 12,000 hectare (120km

), 100% owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project, located in the prolific Battle Mountain

Trend, 264km northeast of

Las Vegas

, Nevada. The MRE was prepared by RESPEC (formerly Mine Development Associates) based out of

Reno, Nevada

, a

group with unmatched experience working with Nevada-based deposits.

Atlanta Resource Highlights:

Measured and Indicated ("M&I") resources:

27.7 million tonnes (Mt) at an average gold grade of 1.14g/t for 1,019,600 ounces of contained gold,

representing a more than doubling (122% increase) of M&I resources compared to the 2020 resource estimate, highlighting the success of the Company's

Phase I & II resource definition drilling campaigns. 91% of the total gold ounces are categorized within the higher confidence M&I categories, with just 9% in

the inferred category (see Table 1).

Open-pit, oxide gold system:

This pit-constrained, oxide resource applies a

US$2,200

/oz gold price and assumes recoveries and processing methods from

the Company's Phase 1 metallurgical test work program, which outlines conventional Nevada oxide processing methods at

Atlanta

(link

Significant growth potential:

Today's resource covers the Atlanta Resource zone and does not incorporate mineralization encountered in the Company's

Phase III drilling, including the recent discovery of gold and silver mineralization at Silver Park. Management sees clear potential for continued resource

expansion with mineralization open to the north, south and west of the resource zone, as well as the potential for finding regional satellite deposits.

Collin Kettell

, CEO of

Nevada King

, stated: "This updated MRE was prepared by RESPEC, a highly regarded engineering firm that represents the gold standard

for Nevada projects. The results mark a major milestone at

Atlanta

, confirming a high-grade and high-confidence oxide gold system in one of the most sought-after

jurisdictions in the world. We are pleased to exceed the 1Moz Au threshold in the M&I category while maintaining the grade of oxide mineralization well above 1

g/t. Today's results highlight the success of our Phase I and II drill programs and validate our technical team's geological model and drilling since 2021. With this

MRE under our belt, we will continue our quest to unlock the full potential of the

Atlanta

district. Our fully funded, aggressive Phase III exploration drill program is

aimed at demonstrating

Atlanta's

multi-million-ounce potential."

Cal Herron

, Exploration Manager of

Nevada King

, remarked: "

Atlanta

is a unique system with multiple instances of high-grade gold deposition. These high-grade

zones, which play prominently into today's resource estimate, were a key target of our Phase II drill program.

"When we began our work at

Atlanta

, the resource totaled

460,000 M

&I ounces averaging 1.30 g/t. Today's resource update more than doubles that figure and

includes significantly more high-grade material, which is largely the result of thicker, higher-grade intercepts within the West Atlanta Graben Zone. We see clear

potential for expansion of this zone to the south, north and west with the possibility of finding additional elevated high-grade zones.

"The Company's unwavering support behind its technical team coupled with its commitment to seeing the exploration program completed made it possible to boost

a modest deposit into a high-grade, +1 Moz deposit – a rare achievement for open pit oxide deposits in safe jurisdictions. That same tenacity is still at play today,

pushing our Phase III exploration forward throughout the

Atlanta

District in search of new deposits."

2025 Mineral Resource Estimate

Open pit oxide resources to be processed at a mill are estimated at 14.5Mt grading 1.72g/t Au for 803koz of contained gold in the M&I category, while 1.0Mt

grading 2.24g/t for 70koz of contained gold are in the Inferred category.

Open pit oxide resources to be processed via a heap leach are estimated at 13.2Mt grading 0.51g/t Au for 216koz of contained gold in the M&I category,

while 2.7Mt grading 0.34g/t for 29koz of contained gold are in the Inferred category.

Table 3. Mineral resource estimate by lithology and processing method

The Mineral Resources have been prepared by Jeff Bickel, C.P.G of RESPEC (formerly Mine Development Associates) in conformity with CIM "Estimation of

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves Best Practices" guidelines and are reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators National

Instrument 43-101 ("

NI 43-101

"). Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that

all Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

The project mineral resources are estimated using a variable gold equivalent (AuEq) cut-off grade. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) equation: AuEq = (

US$2,200

/oz

Au /

US$25

/oz Ag) * (Gold Recovery / Silver Recovery). Gold and Silver Recoveries were variable based on grade and material type (See table below for

recovery equations).

Heap leach material cut-off grade of 0.14 g/t AuEq, heap leach dump/pad material cut-off grade of 0.14 g/t AuEq, mill material cross over-grade of 2.34 g/t

AuEq, and mill breccia material cut-off grade of 0.33 g/t AuEq within an optimized pit.

Mineral Resources within the optimized pit with a slope angle of 45 degrees.

Additional inputs for Whittle pit-optimization include: mining costs of

US$2.17

US$1.63

/tonne mined for dump/pad material;

heap leach costs of

US$3.28

/tonne processed, milling costs of

US$13.53

/tonne processed, and general and administrative costs of

US$0.96

/tonne

processed.

The reported MRE have been constrained within optimized pit shells using a gold price of

US$2,200

/oz Au and a silver price of

US$23.91

/oz Ag. These metal

prices, as well as the metal recoveries summarized below, were used to calculate cut-off grades and contained ounces.

The MRE is based on

93,461.5m

in 468 drill holes, with

76,933.8m

in 407 holes drilled by

Nevada King

from 2020-2024 and the remainder by previous

operators between 1997-2015.

A technical report on the MRE will be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and will be filed within 45 days of this news release on

MRE Methods

The effective date of the MRE is

September 6

, 2024. RESPEC (formerly Mine Development Associates) worked with

Nevada King

to create three-dimensional

geological models based on original cross-sections supplied by

Nevada King

which were the basis for the interpretation of mineralization of the deposit leading to

the MRE. Gold and silver mineral resources were modeled and estimated as follows:

Define mineral domains based on the

Atlanta

geological model and geostatistical analysis of drillhole data.

Create polygons of explicitly modeled cross-sectional interpretations of constrained low-, medium- and high-grade mineral-domains for both gold and silver

snapped to drillholes. The grade domains were guided by the geological model and integrated other relevant geological information.

Rectified the cross-sections on evenly spaced long-section polygons which has plane locations coinciding with the resource block model centroids along y-

axis columns.

Coded a block model to the gold and silver domains using the mineral-domain long-section polygons.

Composited drill hole assay sample data within the mineralized domains into

1.5 m

length composites.

Analyzed the modelled mineralization geostatistically to aid in the establishment of estimation and classification parameters, and

Interpolated grades into block models using the gold and silver mineral domains to explicitly constrain the grade estimations. RESPEC utilized Inverse

Distance Squared (ID2) interpolation for the estimation to obtain a localizing effect in the mid- and high-grade domains to best represent the spatial

distribution of mineralization in the deposit. All estimates are based on a block dimension of

1.5 m

Next Steps

Exploration continues with the Company's ongoing Phase III drill program, which was recently expanded to

30,000m

from

20,000m

and is fully funded. The Phase

III program is focused on regional drilling and with gold and silver mineralization identified at Silver Park, Atlanta South, and Atlanta North exploration targets,

these areas will continue to be the focus of the exploration program with potential to further increase the drill program through the rest of the year. In addition to

continued exploration, the company will also continue to de-risk the project through further metallurgical test work, geotechnical work, environmental studies, and

permit planning.

QA/QC Protocols

All Reverse Circulation (RC) samples from the Atlanta Project are split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a nominal 2kg sample weight.

CRF standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning all three inserts are included in each

20-sample group. Samples are shipped by a local contractor in large sample shipping crates directly to American Assay Lab in

Reno, Nevada

, with full custody

being maintained at all times. At American Assay Lab, samples were weighted then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns to

produce a 300g pulverized split. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-OES

analysis. Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10

ppm finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission

of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.

The PQ-diameter core was sampled in the Company's warehouse in Winnemucca, Nevada, with whole core samples being placed in heavy canvas bags and sent

to American Assay Lab in Reno, Nevada, in heavy shipping bags by a Company contractor with full custody being always maintained. CRF standards and coarse

blanks were inserted into the sample stream on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning both inserts are included in each 20-sample group. At American Assay

Lab, samples were weighted, and then completely crushed to -1 inch. The coarse-crushed sample was quarter-split, and one quarter was reduced to 75%

passing 2mm. A 300g split was subsequently pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion

process and conventional multi-element ICP-OES analysis. Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003

ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish.

The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.
