NV Gold Commenced IP Survey at its Sandy Gold Project in Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2021 / NV Gold Corporation ( TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF) (" NV
Gold " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated its planned IP Survey at its 100%-
owned Sandy Gold Project (" Sandy "), located within the Walker Lane, Lyon County, Nevada, USA. Combined with
the Leapfrog modelling and detailed mapping earlier in the 3 rd Quarter, the outcome of the IP Survey will be used for
better target definition to guide a 2 nd Phase drilling program projected for the 1 st Quarter of 2022 or earlier depending
on equipment availability.
Recap of previously announced 2021 Sandy Project Highlights
• The Company completed its expanded program of 17 RC (Reverse Circulation) drill holes totaling 3,811 m
(12,505 ft) in 1 st Quarter of 2021.
• The "maiden" RC drilling has encountered a large epithermal gold system. The alteration footprint at the
surface has a strike length of 2.4 kilometers and a width of half a kilometer. Most of the property remains
undrilled, and the system remains open at depth and under late volcanic cover.
• A surface rock chip sampling program completed yielded positive gold values from anomalous to high grade.
Of note, five samples yielded 11.3 g/t Au and 11.6 g/t Ag, 11.5 g/t Au and 14.1 g/t Ag, and 18.1 g/t Au and
43.2 g/t Ag (refer to Figure 1).
• All seventeen of the 2021 RC holes intercepted anomalous gold and strong trace element geochemistry.
Twelve holes were above a threshold of >3 meters @ >0.1 g/t Au. The strongest intercept was 22.9 meters
@ 0.65 g/t Au from 29 meters to 51.9 meters (including 6.1 meters of 1.58 g/t Au at 38.1 meters) in SD-2
(refer to Figure 1).
Mapping Conclusions
Hydrothermal alteration at Sandy is predominantly clay to silica-clay alteration (of the tuffaceous rocks) in the
Southwest Zone, mostly seen as float around epithermal quartz vein pieces, while stronger (massive and "near-
massive") silicification forms ridgelines and broader structural zones in the upper Northeast Zone (refer to Figures 1 &
3). Very white clay, possibly illite, is interpreted in the strongest silica-clay altered zones, both in the Southwest and
Northeast Zones. The alteration is consistent with low sulfidation vein alteration and looks to be clay alteration
developed on the margins or above epithermal veins. Based on the size, elevation range, zonation (silica above, clay
below) and apparent geometry of the alteration, the Northeast Zone could be an altered cap overlying a preserved
epithermal vein system.
The upcoming IP (refer to Figure 2) survey should be especially useful to interpret the 3D geometry of the alteration
at the Northeast zone. Even if high resistivity is relatively shallow (shallow silicification) and any subsurface veins are
too narrow to detect, the widespread clay alteration should produce moderate resistivity/conductivity anomalies in 3D
and any roots or zones of greater resistivity or conductivity (near vein halo alteration) may be considered as vein drill
targets. Deeper zones of greater chargeability may indicate broader sulfide rich zones around deeper veins and
would also be potential drill targets. Once the IP surveying is completed, deeper drill targeting should be
straightforward.
"The strike-length and amount of alteration and the presence of high-grade Au of up to 18.1 g/t Au from rock chips
remain encouraging for an economic gold system at Sandy. I was pleased to have Mr. Myers and Ms. Teal
(previously known as Pinto) involved in the program, which will provide an immediate upgrade in data quality. I have
worked with Stan and Rita for many years together at Yanacocha, Peru, where we were engaged in numerous
discoveries, including the Kupfertal Porphyry. Several Au and trace element geochem anomalies remain untested at
Sandy, and the Leapfrog modelling suggests there may be open gold mineralization in the Southwest Zone. In
addition, mapping has identified a highly silicified and altered cap, possibly overlying a preserved epithermal vein
system at the Northeast Zone that is very encouraging. I am excited and looking forward to see the IP results soon to
be included and guiding our 2 nd Phase drilling campaign in 1 st Q of 2022", stated Thomas Klein, VP Exploration,
NV Gold.
