PRESS RELEASE

-NULEGACY RECEIVES PERMIT APPROVAL-

~ Prepares Phase One drilling program ~

For Immediate Release September 23, 2020

Reno NV: NuLegacy Gold Corporation is pleased to report that it has received final

approval from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) of a modified Plan of Operations

(“POP”) on its 100% controlled Red Hill gold project in the Carlin gold-trend of Nevada.

With this permit approval, the planned Phase One exploration drill program of the highly

prospective Rift Anticline target can commence.

NuLegacy has identified three high-priority drill targets in the northern half of the Rift

Anticline and three additional targets extending south along a north northwest-oriented

corridor measuring 5.5 km long and up to 1.2 km wide.

The Rift Anticline is a buried ridge of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks considered favourable

for discovery of Carlin style gold mineralization. Detailed drill plans have been developed

to undertake an initial 16-hole, approximately 11,250 meters drill program that should

comprehensively test each target commencing with the most developed northern targets.

NuLegacy plans to drill three to five core holes in the most developed targets commencing

mid-October. The balance of the 16-hole program is scheduled for completion in the

spring of 2021. Specific details of the drill program will be provided as confirmed.

Mark Bradley, NuLegacy's Vice- President, Exploration comments, " Our new structural

model for the Rift Anticline is a powerful exploration tool, allowing us to prioritize our

initial drilling efforts within the large, 5-6 sq. km Rift Anticline target area thus optimizing

chances for early discovery."

“The trend is our friend” – NuLegacy Gold is focused on confirming high- grade Carlin-style

gold deposits on its premier 108 sq. km (42 sq. mile) district scale Red Hill Property in the Cortez

gold trend of Nevada. The Red Hill Property is located on trend and adjacentI to the three, multi-

million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that

are amongst Barrick Gold’s and the world’s largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold minesII.

I The similarity and proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend including Goldrush is not necessarily

indicative of the gold mineralization in NuLegacy’s Red Hill Property.

II As extracted from Barrick’s Q4 -2013 and Q1- 2014 reports. As reported by Barrick, the Goldrush

resource contains 8,557,000 indicated ounces of gold within 25.78 million tonnes grading ~10.57 g/t and

1,650,000 inferred ounces within 5.6 million tonnes grading ~9.0 g/t.
