~ Multiple targets within both sulphide and oxide Carlin-gold systems ~
For Immediate Release June 21, 2022
Reno, NV – NuLegacy Gold Corporation updates its 2022 exploration plans for its highly
prospective 100% controlled 108 sq. km. flagship Red Hill exploration property located in the
prolific Cortez gold trend of north-central Nevada, directly adjacent to, and on trend with, three
of Barrick Gold’s six top Tier 1 mines.1

Our April 26th, 2022 news release reported that after a lengthy drilling hiatus , on account of a
complete property wide review of all previous exploration, a leaner exploration and management
team were planning a 16 to possibly 24- hole drilling program for the 2022- 23 exploration
program. As a result of the work since April, we are expanding to a 29-hole program (detailed
below), and the following is a summary of progress to date:

Exploration prep:
• Permitting completed and approved
• Migratory bird nest surveys completed
• Road construction underway
• Drilling to commence early July
Geological model:
• New property wide cross sections
completed; example presented below
• Updated geological model being prepared
for release and posting
Updates on:
• Expanded drilling plans
Exploration prep news: On May 25th, the
BLM, working with our permitting consultant
Debra Struhsacker and EM Strategies, finalized

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

and approved our work plans to construct 27 drill pads and 12.1 km of roads within our
approved 115.7 acres of allowable disturbance.
Our long-associated road and pad builders Legarza Exploration, LLC commenced construction
on June 1 and access to the first set of holes is completed; when the entire road and pad building
is completed Legarza will leave a skeleton crew for maintenance.
One of our best drilling contractors offered a Foremost MPD-1500 RC (reverse circulation) drill
rig which can drill to 1,500 feet. However, we elected to wait for a more powerful RD10 RC rig,
which is expected later this month, as most of our RC holes are targeted to drill to 2,000 feet.
Geological model new s: A comprehensive review of the geological model was completed to
include the substantial increase in data generated from processing and interpreting the eleven-
hole 2020-21 drilling program . A detailed graphic summary of the full analysis of that
remodeling is being prepared for posting to our website, meanwhile we present the new Property
(wide) Geology cross-section, and West Rift and Mid Rift drill target cross-section below with
links to larger versions.
Property wide cross-section: https://bit.ly/NUGpropertycrosssection
Drilling essentially all targets with core during the 2020-21 deep drilling programs provided the
structural interpretations which have allowed the car eful and precise geo -model construction.
We will now use more RC (reverse circulation) drilling to ‘find the gold’ following up with core
to ‘confirm the grades’.
There are also multiple targets of ‘high grade’ sulphide Carlin -gold systems in both the West
Rift (North and South zones) and the Mid R ift as well as the established nearer surface oxide
Carlin-gold system target in the Iceberg-Serena corridor.

West & Mid Rift target cross-section: https://bit.ly/westandmidrift
The Mid Rift targets are within an apparent narrow uplifted corridor of Paleozoic rocks 2 with
more electrically conductive (altered) rocks on either side as defined by CSAMT geophysics. It
correlates directly with a 150 meter wide zone of north-northwest trending, steep dipping faults
(central to a Yeti-type fault that we’ve named Migo - Tibetan for “wild man”) that is parallel to
the Iceberg fault, and anticipated to be another steep feeder fault for gold mineralization.
This fault should intersect the low-angle west dipping gold-controlling Central Mineralized Zone
(CMZ) fault that mineralized the Iceberg corridor and several other similar related faults at depth.
The existing Iceberg (to the east) and Rift drilling (to the west) to date suggests moderate to thick
sequences of the favorable Wenban Unit 5 and Roberts Mountain host rocks will be present
along this target zone.
The Phase 1 Serena Extension drilling is designed to ‘ fill in’ several 100-meter ‘gaps’ in the
Serena-North zone and particularly, the western most of these three holes will determine if the
highest grade on the property to date (16.9 grams gold/t on over 8.7 meters - Serena 18-02 - see
news release dated Aug 27, 2018) has continuity to the west along the Long fault. An additional
Phase 2 hole is planned to extend the zone further west to connect mineralization along the
current 400+ meter gap with WS19-02 (9.6 grams gold/ton over 5.2 meters - see news release
dated Feb 18, 2020).
Expanded drilling plans: Based on the substantially expanded/updated geological model we
have permitted 27 drill pads including:
• West Rift - 8 sites,
• Mid Rift - 11 sites,
2 Just as in the Goldrush.
Page 4 of 5 NUG:TSXV / NULGF:OTC
• Iceberg Corridor - 4 sites covering the Serena to Western slope extension.
To adequately explore these multiple targets and two types of deposit s (high-grade sulphide
Carlin-gold systems and modest grade near -surface oxide Carlin -gold systems) w e are now
planning 29 exploratory holes in three stages , with some final hole locations/directions subject
to minor changes from the information obtained from the initial holes, for a total of ~55,000 feet
or 16,700 meters and an approximate direct drilling budget of Cdn $5.1 million.
For ease of managing the program (and discussion) the holes are broken into several stages with
Stage 1 (summer and fall 2022) consisting of three phases totaling 19 holes as follows (see map
below or larger map at link: https://bit.ly/NUGdrillsitemap).
Phase One: S ix RC holes (10,400 feet RC) with three in the Mid Rift and three in the Serena
Extension program.
Phase Two: Si x holes (11,000 feet of RC and 1,200 of core-tails) with two in the West Rift, one
each in the middle and south Mid Rift, one i n the South Iceberg and one more in the Serena
Extension zone.
Phase T hree : Seven holes - e xact locations and directions (not shown) are dependent on the
information from the initial 12 holes.
Phase One and Two drill hole locations: https://bit.ly/NUGdrillsitemap
Stage two and three locations and geo-technical details will be provided as they are finalized and
supporting graphics are developed.

NuLegacy is trending: NuLegacy Gold is focused on confirming potential high- grade Carlin-
style gold deposits within its flagship 108 sq. km (42 sq. mile) district scale Red Hill Property in
the Cortez gold trend of Nevada. The target s are on trend and adjacentI to three, multi-million
ounce C arlin -type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) which are
ranked amongst the world’s thirty largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold mines and are
three of Nevada Gold Mines’ most profitable mines.II
I The similarity and proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend including Goldrush are 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.

(including, but not limited to, the prospective nature of the Red Hill Property and its potential to host a significant Carli n-style
gold deposit; the current modeling and proposed 2022 exploration and drill program for the Red Hill Property including
potential locations and number of drill sites/targets, the nature and type of drilling, number of holes, total metres/feet , and the
timing and costs thereof; the existence of potential mineral resources; and potential strategic alternatives to support future
exploration and financing and the timing thereof) and reflect management’s current expectations and beliefs based on
assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking

of the gold mineralization on the Red Hill Property. There is also uncertainty about the continued spread of COVID-19, the war
in Ukraine and rising inflation and interest rates and the impact they will have on the NuLegacy’s operations, personnel, supply
chains, ability to raise capital, access properties or procure exploration equipment, contractors and other personnel on a timely
basis or at all and economic activity in general. All the forward-looking information and statements made in this news release
