PRESS RELEASE
- CORE DRILLING COMMENCES IN RIFT ANTICLINE -
For Immediate Release April 13, 2021
Reno, NV – NuLegacy Gold Corporation reports ‘core’ drilling has commenced in the ~6
sq. km Rift Anticline zone of its flagship 108 sq. km Red Hill exploration property in
Nevada’s Cortez gold-trend. To view this news release with its graphics displayed please link to:

The spring-summer 2021 Rift Anticline exploration program includes drilling of 12 holes
(the first six of which are shown in the linked map1) with some of these as follow up holes
to the four holes drilled in the winter 2020 portion of the program and others as widely
spaced step-outs to bring the total maiden exploration test of the Rift Anticline to 16 holes.
Each hole will consist of a ~one thousand foot cased ‘pre-collar’ drilled through the upper
volcanics (basalts and gravel) by a ‘reverse circulation’ drill rig (collecting RC chip
samples); the cased2 pre-collar hole will subsequently be reentered by a diamond core rig
drilling the ‘core -tail’ through the limestone s to the target ed depth. With total depths of
twenty-five hundred to four thousand feet, it is anticipated the core portions of these holes
will take three to five weeks to complete.
Road and pad construction have been virtually completed by Legarza’s two crews in the
face of wet spring snow conditions. Five of the ~1,000-foot pre-collar holes have been
completed to date by Envirotech’s double-shifted Atlas Copco RD10 reverse circulation
drill rig (red stars on drill map).
The first of the three Longyear LF-230 core rigs and crew supplied by Major Drilling has
commenced drilling the core -tail of RA21 -01 as depicted in the linked drilling map at
https://nulegacygold.com/site/assets/files/6844/map_nr_04_2021.png. It is anticipated the
remaining two rigs will arrive during the next two weeks as mobilization and traffic allows
and take up station on RA21-02 and 03:
• RA21-01 is a step out to the encouraging 3 assay results in hole RA20 -04; it is
targeting the gold-bearing Wenban5 and Roberts Mountains formations (identified
1 These six are firmly targeted; the siting of the next six may be influenced by the results from the first six.
2 To prevent loose basalts and gravel from ‘plugging’ up the holes making it easier to re-enter with the diamond drill.

in -04) at about 160 meters north and about 160 meters east of the initial
interception.
• RA21-02 will be a significant 450-meter step-out to the east of RA20 -02 and will
be drilled deeper so as to also test for the Roberts Mountains formation as identified
in RA20-03 and 04.
• RA21-03 will be drilled ~four kilometers to the south of RA20-04 as an initial test
of the southern portion of the Rift Anticline.
NuLegacy has enrolled three additional geologists and geo -technicians to assist in
processing all the core, cuttings, and material/data from this drilling.
As reported in NuLegacy’s news release of February 18, 2021 the Rift Anticline has both
decalcified and silicified formations within the Wenban5 and Roberts Mountains horizons
which are favorable gold-bearing hosts in Carlin gold systems.
NuLegacy believes the Rift Anticline Target potentially hosts a high-grade Carlin deposit
like the nearby Goldrush, Cortez Hills or Pipeline deposits just to the north -east and this
16-hole deep drilling program is aimed at making such a discovery.I
On trend: NuLegacy Gold is focused on confirming high-grade Carlin-style gold deposits within the ~ 6 sq. km
Rift Anticline target in the northwest corner of its flagship 108 sq. km (42 sq. mile) district scale Red Hill
Property in the Cortez gold trend of Nevada. The Rift Anticline target is located on trend and adjacent I to the
three, multi-million ounce Carlin-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.

future events or future performance (including, but not limited to, the prospective nature of the Rift Anticline
target and the potential existence of a large, high grade Carlin style gold deposit thereon, the proposed
exploration and drilling program for the Rift Anticline target including the initial drill sites and targets and the
timing and costs 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 financing, market conditions, future prices for gold, changes in personnel and other risks in the mining
industry. There are no known resources or reserves in the Red Hill Property, any proposed exploration programs
are exploratory searches for commercial bodies of ore and the presence of gold resources on properties adjacent
or near the Red Hill Property including Goldrush is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization on the
