~ Drilling to Commence Pending Financing ~
For Immediate Release June 7, 2023
Reno, NV – NuLegacy Gold’s geological team of Dr. Roger Steininger (director, and co-founder)
and Charles Weakly (Exploration Manager ), together with recently enrolled key members of
Barrick’s former Goldrush discovery team, Nancy Richter (joined NuLegacy’s team as of Feb. 22,
2023), Michael Penick (Mar. 21, 2023), and Robert Leonardson (April 11, 2023), have completed
their in -depth global review and analysis of the Carlin -style gold mineralizing systems at
NuLegacy’s Red Hill property and have agreed on the top 5 priority drill targets for the 2023 drill
program.

The review of NuLegacy’s flagship 108 sq. km Red Hill property in the Cortez gold- trend
approximately 7 km south of Nevada Gold Mines’ multi- million-ounce Tier 1 Goldrush gold
deposit1 concluded that the Cortez-Goldrush-Red Hill block is unique, with continuous deposition
of favorable slope facies carbonate rocks from the Roberts Mountains through the Wenban
formations. As well, the large displacement (>300m) north-northwest trending steep dipping faults
with proximal gold mineralization can be traced from the Cortez mine area through NuLegacy’s
Red Hill property, providing an additional link between the two properties.
The gold mineralization found to date at Red Hill is similar to that of the high-grade Cortez
Fourmile deposit area, localized at the intersections of high and low-angle faults with associated
metamorphic alteration and local to moderate scale folding.
The h ost rocks for the Carlin-type gold mineralization include the Devonian Wenban Unit 5,
Devonian Horse Canyon, and Devonian-Silurian Roberts Mountains formations. Prior drilling has
shown an approximate 3- kilometer-wide zone of Carlin -type alteration and loc al gold
mineralization under the volcanic cover rocks of the Northern Nevada Rift.
The link between gold mineralization and metamorphic alteration is encouraging, as very -high
grades can occur in this setting as at the Cortez Fourmile and the southern margins of the
Goldstrike Betze-Post gold deposits.1 At Red Hill, a Cretaceous diorite intrusive is associated with
metamorphic alteration, with dike zones known to occur along the Iceberg Corridor, the Mid Rift

target area, and are inferred from surface mapped metamorphic alteration to the east of the Iceberg
fault.
The larger bodies of these favorable Cretaceous diorite s are interpreted at depth based on strong
resistive zones in CSAMT geophysics, and coincident zones of stronger metamorphic alteration
mapped at surface and intercepted in drilling. The major drill targets are focused proximally to or
above these larger bodies where all other positive target elements intersect as illustrated in the
cross-sections below.
Although both epithermal and Carlin style mineralization have been identified at Red Hill,
NuLegacy’s exploration focus has been on Carlin style mineralization which present s the
opportunity for the larger prize. Gold mineralization occurs along both low and high-angle faults,
most often at fault intersections, with the best grade closely associated with altered lamprophyre
dikes.
Some of the more robust intercepts drilled in the deposit areas include 41.2m @ 3.91 g/t including
12.2m @ 10.95 g/t and 4.6m @ 25.21 g/t and 35.1m @ 3.41 g/t including 21.3m @ 5.31 g/t in the
North zone (RHB40 and RHB58)2 and 22.1m @ 6.59 g/t including 8.7m @ 16.92 g/t in the Serena
zone (SR18-02C).3

insufficient data to calculate true orientation.

While there are numerous drill target areas at Red Hill, the 5 highest priority targets are in the
Mid Rift, South Iceberg, and West Rift (Phase 1 proposed drill sites in figure above) determined by
geochemical vectoring from existing results and focused along sets of north- northwest trending,
steep dipping faults associated with metamorphic and metasomatic alteration at intersections with
low angle west dipping fault zones as areas likely to have thick potentially gold bearing host rock
sequences and near-vertical bedding within the best host rock sequences.
Pending financing the proposed five-hole Phase 1 2023 drill program (as illustrated in the following
cross-sections in green) is approximately 3,000 meters (~10,000 feet) of RC-holes with average
depths of 600 meters (2,000 feet) focused on the Mid-Rift, South-West Rift and South Iceberg target
areas. Cross-sections from the plan map above covering the five holes are shown directly below.

The global review has improved NuLegacy’s confidence in the continuity of major structures
between Cortez mine and the Red Hill property and the potential for a large Carlin-type gold deposit
at Red Hill.
NuLegacy will seek financing for the 2023 program over the next several weeks while continuing
its efforts to market either the Red Hill property directly, or its wholly-owned subsidiary NuLegacy
Gold Corporation NV , to a suitable third party producer with a view to financing the further
exploration of Red Hill to finally discover an ‘elephant sized’ Carlin -style gold deposit like its
neighbours to the northeast.
