/CNW/ -
Nevada King Gold Corp.
(TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) ("
Nevada King
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce
assay results from three, vertical reverse circulation ("
RC
") holes recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of
Las Vegas,
Nevada
, in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. These holes were drilled northwest of the
Atlanta
pit to fill-in drill hole gaps across the northern part of the West
Atlanta Graben Zone ("
WAGZ
") identifed in Section 22-15N initially reported on
April 27, 2023
. The three holes reported today are plotted on plan and section in
Figures 2 and 3.

Table 1. Highlight hole released today. This hole is interpreted to have intersected a sub vertical feeder zone cutting through a flat-lying horizon
of mineralization that generally dips westward. For discussion of true thickness, see detailed interpretation section and accompanying discussion
below.
11.64 g/t Au over
108.2m
, including 37.16 g/t Au over
29.0m
in AT23WS-44 is
the most gold rich drill hole ever recorded at
Atlanta
and contains the
highest-grade individual drill assay interval ever reported from the project of 169.8 g/t Au over
1.5m
. See Table 2 below for a detailed breakdown of
the full
29m
high grade interval and Table 3 for the complete detailed breakdown of the
108.2m
intercept.
AT23WS-44 was sited
120m
northwest of the
Atlanta
pit to locate and test the West Atlanta Fault #1 (WAF1) and was collared
20m
west of previously
reported AT22WS-5C (1.08 g/t Au over
112.7m
) and
22m
east of previously reported AT23WS-20 (3.04 g/t Au over
61.1m
).
The Company's new geological model supports the presence of very high-grade zones or 'jewelry boxes' that can occur at the juncture between sub-vertical
feeder zones and flat-lying horizons of replacement-type (
Carlin
-type) mineralization. Figure 1 below depicts a conceptual cross section across the high-grade
feeder zone hit in AT23WS-44 based on a generalized
Carlin
-type geological model.
Figure 1. Conceptual cross section across high-grade feeder zone hit in AT23WS-44 utilizing a generalized Carlin-type geological model. Gold is preferentially
deposited within the 70m to 100m thick replacement horizon consisting of receptive carbonate beds, while the high-grade core forms around the structural
intersection of this near-horizontal replacement horizon with the West Atlanta Fault #1 that served as the feeder structure that channeled mineralizing fluids into the
receptive horizon. (CNW Group/Nevada King Gold Corp.)
Figure 1. Conceptual cross section across high-grade feeder zone hit in AT23WS-44 utilizing a well known, generalized
Carlin
-type geological model.
Gold is preferentially deposited within the
70m
to
100m
thick replacement horizon consisting of receptive carbonate beds, while the high-grade core
forms around the structural intersection of this near-horizontal replacement horizon with the West Atlanta Fault #1 that served as the feeder
structure that channeled mineralizing fluids into the receptive horizon. Figure adapted from: Robert et al (2007), and Zhou (2009), "Multi-scale
integrated application of spectral geology and remote sensing for mineral exploration," Conference Exploration 17,
Toronto
, 2017.
As shown above, AT23WS-44 is interpreted to have penetrated the mineralized zone near the middle of a high-grade zone close to and possibly intersecting
the WAF1. AT23WS-20 intersected the western portion of the +3 g/t Au high-grade zone while AT23WS-5C on the east narrowly missed the high-grade
domain.
Now with WAF1 firmly located, the Company is planning to follow up on AT23WS-44 with closely spaced vertical holes east and west to better determine the
lateral extent and grade distribution in and around the feeder structure, while also following it along strike, where it remains open to the north and south.
Mineralization in this high-grade interval is
strongly oxidized
as demonstrated by the Au cyanide solubility analyses in Table 2 below. Visible gold has not
been observed in the cuttings. The absence or paucity of coarse-grained gold is supported by the consistent results from duplicate fire assays of all high-
grade intervals (see Table 7).

are based on averaging the 30gm ICP analyses with the corresponding gravimetric analyses.
Cal Herron
, Exploration Manager of
Nevada King
, stated, "Today's high-grade interval in AT23WS-44 gives us another starting point for tracking higher-grades
proximal to high-angle feeder structures cutting up through the flat lying horizons that correlate to stratigraphy hosting most of the gold at
Atlanta
– namely the
silica breccia and overlying silicified volcanic horizons. As seen in Figures 1 and 3, the rhyolitic intrusive breccia hosting the highest grade mineralization in the hole
probably intruded along the WAF1 and will be easy to visually track in the up-coming offset holes of AT23WS-44 that will be drilled to further expand upon this
"bonanza grade" mineralization. It is important to note that the high-grade "core" mineralization seen in AT23WS-44 (
29m
@ 37.16 g/t Au) is not related to a
narrow vein that was drilled down, but rather occurs within the same flat-lying replacement horizon penetrated in surrounding holes at similar elevation – i.e.
1741m–1770m
a.s.l (above sea level). For example, nearby holes in the northern portion of the WAGZ intersected the following high-grade mineralization –

The high grade intercepts cited above occur within discrete groups or clusters located across the entire resource zone, with holes in each cluster sharing the
same elevation ranges. This argues strongly for the high-grades being hosted within near-horizontal replacement horizons versus narrow, high-angle faults/veins. If
these intercepts occurred along high-angle fault surfaces, we would not see a uniform horizontal geometry, instead the intercept elevations within an individual
cluster of holes proximal to each other would indicate a steeply dipping plane. Close-spaced drilling along suspected high-grade zones has now provided
Nevada
King
with enough information to concentrate on drill-defining these relatively narrow (<
20m
wide) but very high-grade, linear intersection zones involving high-angle
"feeder" faults and flat-lying replacement horizons."

Additional Details:
Holes AT23WS-25A (
24.4m
grading 1.19 g/t Au from 318.6 to
343.0m
) and AT23WS-41 (
22.9m
grading 0.293 g/t Au from 335.4 to
358.2m
)
were
drilled west of previously reported hole AT23WS-22 (
42.8m
@ 5.64 g/t Au) in order to define the western boundary of the WAGZ. Both of these new holes
hit deeper, lower grade mineralization on the west side of the West Atlanta Fault #2 (WAF2), which bounds the western margin of the WAGZ. Gold grade in
this area clearly decreases westward from the WAF2.
The high grade intercept in previously reported hole AT23WS-22 (
42.8m
@ 5.64 g/t Au) is attributed to close proximity to the WAF2. Now that we know
where this fault is located, we will be drilling along strike of it to the north and south in order to further extend the higher-grade mineralization.
Additional in-fill drilling is needed between AT23WS-5C and AT23NS-104 in order to fill a large
88m
gap that currently exists between AT23WS-5C and the
West Atlanta Fault (see Figure 3).
Detailed Interpretation:
The Company's interpretation of today's highlight interval is that gold mineralizing fluids have migrated laterally from the high-angle WAF1 (the feeder structure)
into a larger receptive, flat-lying breccia horizon with gold grades generally decreasing gradationally with horizontal distance from the feeder structure (Figure 1).
The Company does not have sufficient data to accurately estimate true width of the high grade feeder structure, but true thickness of the high grade zones within
the overall flat-lying mineralized horizon is far more apparent. As an example, simply comparing the
29m
-thick high grade intercept (37.16 g/t Au) in AT23WS-44
with the
27.4m
high grade intercept (4.67 g/t Au) in AT23WS-20 illustrates the flat-lying nature of the high grade horizon connecting these two holes. The
mineralized zone in AT23WS-44 starts at an elevation of
1770m
a.s.l. (above sea level) while the same mineralized horizon in AT23WS-20, located
21m
to the
west of AT23WS-44, starts at an elevation of
1758m
a.s.l. This flat-lying geometry to the replacement horizon is noted throughout the
Atlanta
deposit as
discussed above.

QA/QC Protocols
All Reverse Circulation (RC) samples from the Atlanta Project are taken at
1.5 m
intervals, split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a
nominal 2kg sample weight. Certified Reference Material (CRM) standards, blanks, and blind duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-
twenty sample basis, meaning all three control 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
("
AAL
"), Nevada, with full custody being maintained at all times. At AAL, samples were weighed then crushed to
75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order 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. For Au values above 10 g/t, AAL routinely re-assays samples using a 30gm gravimetric fire assay. For the
29m
high grade interval in
AT23WS-44, AAL inserted three lab duplicates that results in percent differences of 1.80%, 2.48%, and 2.59%.
No visible gold was logged in this hole.
Sample weights were consistent.
Table 7 contains the complete assay report for the interval
195.1m
to T.D. at
330.8m
for AT23WS-44 showing sample weights as received at American Assay
Lab plus lab blank, duplicate, and CRM standards along with
Nevada King's
inserted field blanks, duplicates, and CRM standards. The high grade intervals were
assayed by 30gm fire with ICP finish and then check-assayed via 30 gm gravimetric fire assay. Gold cyanide solubility assays were performed on every sample.
As seen in Table 6, the 30gm ICP analyses match closely with the gravimetric analyses, indicating minimal nugget effect and high reproducibility. The consistent
Au cyanide analyses indicate strong oxidation and little evidence of significant sulfide encapsulation. Fairly consistent sample weights indicate good, overall RC
recovery, particularly within the very high grade intervals, to the extent that down-hole contamination from upper high grade intervals is unlikely. When
10m
to
20m
lengths of low sample weights occur, or sustained lack of sample recovery occurs, then down-hole contamination is more likely to occur. This is not the case with
AT23WS-44.

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
Property,
Lincoln County, NV
" with an effective date of
October 6, 2020
, and a report date of
December 22, 2020
, as prepared by Gustavson Associates and

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information
This news release contains certain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the
meaning of applicable securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, without limitation, statements relating the
future operations and activities of
Nevada King
, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words
such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential", "possible", and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions, or
results "will", "may", "could", or "should" occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to, among other things, the Company's
exploration plans and the Company's ability to potentially expand mineral resources and the impact thereon. There can be no assurance that such statements
will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements
reflect the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements are made and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while
considered reasonable by
Nevada King
, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and
contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results,
performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and the parties have made assumptions and
estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation, the ability to complete proposed exploration work given the
global COVID-19 pandemic, the results of exploration, continued availability of capital, and changes in general economic, market and business conditions.
Readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release concerning these items.
Nevada
King
does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements of beliefs, opinions, projections, or other factors, should they change, except as
required by applicable securities laws.
