NEVADA KING EXPANDS SILVER PARK EAST MINERALIZATION WITH
350M STEP-OUT, INTERCEPTS 0.93 G/T AUEQ OVER 14.6M STARTING AT

/CNW/ -
Nevada King Gold Corp.
(TSXV: NKG) (OTCQB: NKGFF) ("
Nevada King
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce
assay results at the Silver Park East ("
SPE
") target, located approximately 2km west of the Atlanta Resource Zone ("
ARZ
"), within the Company's 100% owned
130km
2
Atlanta Gold Mine Project in eastern Nevada. The results released include assays from four holes drilled directly west of SPE, as well as five holes drilled
350m
to the south of SPE. Both areas returned at-surface, oxide gold-silver mineralization.
Highlight oxide gold intervals
350m
south of SPE include
:
0.93 g/t AuEq
*
over
14.6m
starting at
7.3m
depth and ending in mineralization in hole B25-101
0.69 g/t AuEq
*
over
14.6m
starting at surface and ending in mineralization in hole B25-100
0.52 g/t AuEq
*
over
9.8m
starting at
2.4m
depth in hole B25-96
These results outline at surface oxide gold-silver mineralization
350m
south of the main SPE zone
. Mineralization found at both the main SPE zone and in
today's holes is hosted along the unconformity, the main control of mineralization at
Atlanta
, which appears to be shallowing out to the south where it has now
been intercepted at surface (see Figure 1).
Highlight oxide gold interval directly west of SPE
:
0.23 g/t AuEq* over
29.3m
starting at surface and ending in mineralization in hole B25-110
Additional drilling released today on the west side of the SPE target extends the main SPE zone a further
50m
west and
now confirms gold and silver
mineralization across a
300m
by
500m
footprint at SPE, while demonstrating a clear link toward the mineralization encountered at surface a further
350m
to the south.
Additional drilling is planned to connect these two zones, which would significantly increase the size of the SPE target.
Phase 4 drilling continues at SPE with one reverse circulation ("
RC
") drill rig currently infilling gaps within the main mineralized footprint to establish continuity. A
RAB drill, capable of reaching depths up to 30 metres, was deployed across the Silver Park area to assess shallow geochemical anomalies and gold-silver
mineralization beneath post-mineral cover. Highlight holes B25-100 and B25-101, as well as B25-108, all bottomed in mineralization with the shallow RAB drill (see
Table 1).
Justin Daley
, VP Exploration of
Nevada King
, commented, "These shallow RAB results confirm that Silver Park East is larger than we initially recognized.
Expanding the footprint to 300 metres by 500 metres and identifying surface mineralization 350 metres to the south highlights the scale of the system. Importantly,
the mineralization occurs in the same silicified breccia, at the same unconformity, and along the same structural corridor as the Atlanta Resource Zone, reinforcing
our view that these are parts of a large-scale system. Our next step is to close the remaining gaps with RC drilling as we work toward defining a continuous oxide
gold envelope."

Table 1. RAB vertical drill holes released today from SPE.
*AuEq based on US$2,200/oz Au, US$25/oz Ag, and Au/Ag recovery averages from Phase II metallurgical work. Holes bottomed in mineralization are indicated by ^.
The decision to conduct RAB drilling
350m
south of the main SPE zone was guided by a historic drill hole from 2005 which encountered 0.45g/t AuEq over
38.1m
from
6.1m
depth (dip -58°, azimuth 305°). The historic angle hole targeted strong silicification along a northeast trend between dolomite basement and
intrusive rhyolite, in an area with many historic pits, shafts, strong alteration, and important structural features.
These initial vertical RAB drill results confirm both the historic intercept and demonstrate structural continuity within the main mineralized SPE zone and
potentially between the southern cluster of mineralized holes.
Mineralization in both the main SPE zone and the southern RAB drilling cluster is hosted primarily within dense silicified breccia, the same principal host rock
as the main Atlanta Resource Zone, along with weakly mineralized volcanics and dolomite basement rock, often starting at or near surface.
Previously released drill holes shown in Figure 1 below, can be found in press releases from
November 10, 2025
,
August 19, 2025
, and
May 1, 2025

Phase 4 Update
The Company has completed
2,100m
of the fully funded
20,000m
Phase 4 regional exploration program. The RAB drilling is outside of the
20,000m
budgeted
program which comprises only RC drilling. Assay results from RC drilling at SPE are expected to be released later this month.
QA/QC Protocols
All RC and Rotary Air Blast (RAB) 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.
