NuLegacy To Commence 2018 Drilling in March
~ Wraps up 2017 Exploration Program ~
February 13, 2018 - Reno, NV – NuLegacy completed a very successful 2017 exploration program
on its flagship Red Hill property in the Cortez gold trend of North-Central Nevada.
The 2017 exploration program resulted in the:
• discovery and significant expansion of Carlin -style gold mineralization in the new Serena
zone,
• identification, drilling and discovery of a brand new epithermal-type gold mineralized zone
(the VIO zone) on the western end of the Red Hill property,
• advancement of the understanding of Avocado zone which now indicates 120 meters of
continuous lateral gold mineralization in the West Avocado.
Program specifics;
• drilled 42,700 feet (13,000 meters) in 47 reverse circulation (RC) and core drill holes,
• completed 17.5-square kilometers land-based g ravity survey, 35.4-line kilometers of
CSAMT, and 8.5-line kilometers of IP geophysical surveys , and collected 1,367 soil
samples,
• completed additional metallurgical testing on both the oxide and sulfide portion of the
Iceberg deposits,
• advanced a Plan of Operations permit for the Avocado area near completion in addition to
the Plan of Operations permits already in place over the Iceberg and Serena areas, and
• commissioned a maiden NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate (by Mine Development
Associates of Reno , Nevada) covering the approximately 35% of the 3 -kilometer strike
length of the Iceberg deposits that has sufficient drill density /delineation to support a
calculation; results to be released shortly.
Alex Davidson, NuLegacy Director and former head of global exploration for Barrick Gold,
commented, “Our drilling successes at Serena, VIO, and Avocado are examples of the effectiveness
of NuLegacy’s exploration team and we anticipate building on that success in 2018.”
NuLegacy plans to begin a ~ 40,000-foot (12,000 meter) drilling and field exploration program in
March (budgeted at C$ 5.0 million) with continued emphasis on the discovery of new, additional
gold zones on our 98 square kilometer (38 square mile) Red Hill property.

2017 exploration wrap up:
Metallurgical tests: Additional metallurgical samples were submitted to American Assay Labs for
one-hour tumble leach in cyanide tests, and to McClelland Laboratories Inc. for 96- hour bottle roll
tests.
These tests confirmed the favorable leachability of the oxidized and mixed oxide/sulfide gold
mineralization in the Iceberg deposit s. As illustrated in the table below the longer duration bottle
roll tests determined that most of the gold was quickly leached from the material and extracted
within the initial 12-hour period.
Type of test Mineralization Classification Average Extraction
One-hour tumble leach Oxide 73.9%
Mixed oxide/sulfide 48.3%
12-hour bottle roll Oxide 78.9%
Mixed oxide/sulfide 60.2%
VIO zone: Results suggest proximity to a large epithermal gold system and warrant additional
drilling in 2018.
As reported on September 13, 2017 NuLegacy discovered a new zone of epithermal mineralization
on the western edge of the Red Hill property in an area called VIO. Encountering 9.1 meters of 1.8
grams/t gold and 17.6 grams/t silver, this high-silver content and the associated trace element suite
clearly indicates this mineralization is distinctly different from the gold-only mineralization found
in the Iceberg, Serena, and Avocado zones. The mineralization is interpreted to be associated with
the basalt flows of the Northern Nevada rift, and is likely 20 million years younger than the Carlin-
type gold mineralization found elsewhere on the property.
Two follow up holes were drilled late fall 2017 from a single drill pad set up to the east of the
discovery hole:
• Hole VIO-04c was angled to the south of both VIO-01 and VIO-03c and tested the VIO
fault; it intercepted multiple thin zones of gold mineralization up to 0.75 grams/t gold and
3.4 grams/t silver.
• Hole VIO17 -03c encountered an interval of 4 feet of 0.46 grams/t gold and strongly
anomalous silver. The more interesting interval in this drill hole is the entire volcanic section
above the fault from 0 -450 feet (138 meters) which returned over 1.0 gram/ton silver –
indicating proximity to a very large epithermal system.
• Results indicate the suitability of the volcanic stratigraphic package to hosting both
structurally-controlled and disseminated epithermal mineralization like that found at the
nearby Fire Creek and Mule Canyon deposits.
Western Slope: Identification of favourable up-lifted horizons warrant further drilling in 2018.
Summer 2017 CSAMT and Gravity geophysical surveys identified two splays of a major north-
north-west structural lineament parallel to and west of the Iceberg fault/Serena zone coincident with
gold in soil anomalies. An accelerated permitting and road building program was successfully
completed, and we were able to drill two stratigraphic holes, before the winter shut down.
The two holes were drilled one on each side of the e astern splay, and while they contained only
anomalous gold values they confirmed the Western Slope has the same favourable stratigraphy as

the North Iceberg deposit, and most importantly that the favourable carbonate stratigraphy is up-
thrown to the west, such that drilling in the most westerly hole encountered Horse Canyon and
Wenban limestones (the best horizon for gold emplacement) beginning at just 300- foot (90 meter)
in depth. Additional drilling within the Western Slope’s 5-kilometer strike is being planned for 2018.
NuLegacy has contracted National Investor Publishing of Saint Augustine, Florida to provide media
placement services for a period of six months commencing February 15, 2018 for total consideration
of US$8,500 for the six-month term. National Investor Publishing will make available a stand-alone
report on NuLegacy and related information under the auspices of its The National Investor
newsletter. This arrangement is at arm's length to NuLegacy and its purpose is raising awareness of
the company to potential shareholders and the broader public. National Investor Publishing will
neither own nor trade in securities of NuLegacy during this contract.
About NuLegacy: NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project is located on trend and adjacenti to the three multi-million ounce
Carlin-type gold deposits (the P ipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick Gold’s
largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold assetsii.
NuLegacy is focused on discovering district scale Carlin-style gold deposits on its premier 98-sq. km (38 sq. mile)
Red Hill Project in the prolific Cortez gold trend of Nevada. To date we have discovered the Iceberg iii, Serena,
and Avocado Carlin- style gold deposits and have identified several additional highly prospective exploration
targets, including the VIO, Deep Iceberg, Western Slope, and Idaho IP targets to be drilled this year. i. 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. ii. As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports. iii. The Iceberg, with its 3-kilometer strike length, is an established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to
1.1 grams of gold per tonne. 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
