April 1 4, 2020 - Reno, NV – NuLegacy reports that as well as instituting various Covid-19

precautions including a work from home policy for corporate and, as appropriate, exploration

personnel, increased sanitization procedures, physical distancing and rotational work schedule

to limit interaction between personnel and risk of transmission of the virus , it has reduced its

personnel costs by an additional 20% for the remainder of 2020. The company offered its entire

staff and consultancy a 20% cash compensation reduction, in return for additional stock

options, which was unanimously accepted. This is in addition to the reduction of corporate

overheads by 55% since the return of Albert Matter as CEO in April 2019.

Thus, the company has granted incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees

and consultants (twenty-two people in all) to purchase up to an aggregate of seven million

common shares (representing 1.7% of the outstanding shares) at a price of $0.10 per share

exercisable for a period of five years. The options are subject to vesting in six equal quarterly
