NEVADA KING MOBILIZES A FOURTH RIG TO ATLANTA, RESUMES CORE
DRILLING FOR ONGOING METALLURGICAL TESTING PROGRAM AND
RESOURCE CONFIRMATION
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Sept. 21, 2023
/CNW/ -
Nevada King Gold Corp.
(TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) ("
Nevada King
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to
announce the mobilization of a diamond core drill to its 5,166 hectare (51.6km
2
), 100%-owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project, located in the prolific Battle Mountain
Trend, 264km northeast of
Las Vegas, Nevada
. There are now four drill rigs operating at
Atlanta
– three reverse circulation ("
RC
") rigs and one diamond core
drill. The Company is also pleased to announce the results of its 2023 meeting of shareholders.
Highlights:
Core drilling will focus on a series of six strategically placed PQ holes totaling
1,480m
along high-grade corridors in and around the historic Atlanta Pit that will
be used for the ongoing metallurgical testing program as well as confirmation of proximal RC hole results.
The Company continues to utilize one RC rig to define deeper mineralization within the West Atlanta Graben ("
WAG
") while a second RC rig is targeting
shallower mineralization along the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone with closer-spaced drilling designed to better define high-grade zones discovered by
Nevada King
within the main resource area. A third RC rig is currently drilling a series of widely spaced exploration holes at the Western Knolls prospect, located 5.5km
west of the Atlanta Pit, testing a variety of geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
From inception of the Phase I drill program in
June 2021
, into the continuation of Phase II,
Nevada King
has drilled
346 RC holes totaling
55,186m
and 17
core holes totaling
1,398m
, for a total of
56,584m
. Assays from 234 drill holes totaling
32,876m
have been reported with
results pending for 129 drill
holes totaling
22,314m
.
The existing resource model (Table 1 below) at
Atlanta
is based on 71 historic drill holes and does not incorporate any of the Phase I or II drilling completed
by
Nevada King
to date – drilling that continues to expand mineralization northward and southward outside of the resource model, as well as westward into
the WAG.

About Nevada King Gold Corp.
Nevada King
is the third largest mineral claim holder in the
State of Nevada
, behind
Nevada Gold Mines
(Barrick/Newmont) and
Kinross Gold
. Starting in 2016 the
Company has staked large project areas hosting significant historical exploration work along the
Battle Mountain
trend located close to current or former
producing gold mines. These project areas were initially targeted based on their potential for hosting multi-million-ounce gold deposits and were subsequently
staked following a detailed geological evaluation. District-scale projects in
Nevada King's
portfolio include (1) the 100% owned Atlanta Mine, located 100km
southeast of
Ely
, (2) the Lewis and Horse Mountain-Mill Creek projects, both located between
Nevada Gold Mines'
large
Phoenix
and Pipeline mines, and (3) the
Iron Point project, located 35km east of
Winnemucca, Nevada
.
The Atlanta Mine is a historical gold-silver producer with a NI 43-101 compliant pit-constrained resource of 460,000 oz Au in the measured and indicated category
(
11.0M
tonnes at 1.3 g/t) plus an inferred resource of 142,000 oz Au (
5.3M
tonnes at 0.83 g/t). See the NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources titled "Atlanta
