NuLegacy Drilling Newly Discovered Serena Zone
~ Three holes to test extensions of the 50.3 meters of 1.0 gram/t gold discovery hole ~
August 8, 2017 - Reno, NV – NuLegacy Gold Corporation has commenced follow-up drilling to extend
the gold mineralization discovered in the wildcat drill hole SR17 -01 (previously reported as NI [North
Iceberg] 17-03 on July 27th).
This prospective new area, 375 meters (1,200 ft.) west of the North Iceberg gold deposit, has been named
the Serena zone. Location link: http://nulegacygold.com/i/pdf/newsreleases/Drilling_Serena_zone.pdf
Initially three offset holes are permitted and be ing drilled west, east, and north of the discovery hole to
establish continuity and gain a better understanding of the stratigraphy and structural controls of the gold
mineralisation.
“The first few holes drilled into a newly discovered area are always exciting; this is what makes
exploration in Nevada so thrilling. We hope to replicate the important gold discoveries in the Cortez
trend that Barrick and others have made over the years”, said Ed Cope, NuLegacy director, and past head
of North American exploration for Barrick Gold Corporation.
The discovery hole SR17-01 encountered 123 meters (405 feet) of strongly brecciated jasperoid hosted in
the Devonian Horse Canyon formation (an important host for gold in Carlin- type deposits in the Cortez
gold-trend) starting at a depth of 133 meters and extending to 256 meters. Within this formation an interval
of:
• 85.4 meters (280 feet) returned assays of 0.64 grams/tonne of gold,
• including 50.3 meters (165 feet) of 1.00 grams/tonne gold,
• including 13.7 meters (45 feet) of 2.27 grams/tonne goldi.
“This discovery is hosted in a strongly silicified and brecciated Devonian Horse Canyon formation at the
intersection of interpreted northwest and east -west striking district scale structures. Link:
http://nulegacygold.com/i/pdf/newsreleases/Serena_zone_plan_map.pdf. The combination of intense
Carlin-type alteration and the accompanying trace elements suite indicates that the gold mineralizing
fluids that formed the Serena zone are similar to those that formed the Iceberg and Avocado deposits,”
commented Derick Unger, NuLegacy’s Chief Geologist.
We have completed this summer’s program of wildcat drilling of geophysical and/or geochemical targets
throughout the 98-square km. Red Hill property; additional significant results will be released as they are
received and evaluated by our geological team. Drilling to further define and expand the gold content of
the Iceberg gold deposits will resume this fall.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance: All sampling was conducted
under the supervision of the Company’s project geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample
preparation facility was continuously monitored. A blank or certified reference material was inserted approximately
every 20th sample. The samples were delivered to American Assay Labs’ preparation facility in Sparks, NV. The
samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed by American Assay Labs’ certified laboratory
in Sparks, NV. Pulps were digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an atomic absorption
spectroscopy (AAS) finish on a 30- gram split. All other elements were determined by ICP analysis. Data
verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain
parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
About NuLegacy Gold Corporation: NuLegacy is a Nevada exploration company focused on discovering Carlin-
style gold deposits on its premier district scale 98-sq. km (38 sq. mile) Red Hill Project in the prolific Cortez gold
trend of Nevada.
To date NuLegacy has discovered the Iceberg (an established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to 1.1
grams of gold per tonne ii) and the Avocado Carlin -style gold deposits and identified several highly prospective
exploration targets that are being drilled this year.
NuLegacy’s Red Hi ll Project is located on trend and adjacent iii to three multi -million ounce Carlin-type gold
deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick Gold’s largest, lowest cost
and politically safest gold mineiv.
i These intercepts are not necessarily true widths as there is insufficient data at this time with respect to the shape of the
mineralization to calculate its true orientation.
ii These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 111 NuLegacy drill holes.
To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will
result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
iii The similarity and proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend is not necessarily indicative of the gold
mineralization in NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project.
iv As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports.
