NV Gold Identifies Large Epithermal Gold System at
the Sandy Gold Project in Nevada
June 23, 202 1 - NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF)(FSE:8NV)
(“NV Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has received
all assays from its expanded reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program at its 100%
owned Sandy Gold Project (“Sandy”), located within the Walker Lane, Lyon County,
Nevada, USA. The expanded program was co mprised of 17 RC drill holes totaling
3,811 m (12,505 ft). This project was generated through a historical data review in
2020. A Phase 1 Maiden Drill Program was undertaken in early 2021 to test near
surface targets with rock chip assays of better than 1 gram gold and to broadly evaluate
the property for a potentially economic gold system.
“2021 will be one of NV Gold’s busiest exploration seasons in our corporate history, with
multiple drill-ready gold projects being planned for potential drill programs, including the
Sandy Gold Project. I look forward to the next Phase of the Sandy explora tion program
later this year after we review data gathered from the upcoming IP survey and additional
mapping,” commented Peter A. Ball, President and CEO of NV Gold. “With over
$4.5M in our treasury, we are well funded for 2021 and beyond.”
Key Highlight s from Phase 1 Drill Program at Sandy Gold Project
• RC drilling encountered a large epithermal gold system defined by extensive
argillic to propylitic alteration with intervals of moderate to intense quartz and
pyrite veining (refer to Figure 1 and 2). The mineralized vein system is hosted
by a thick andesite volcanic package. Some underlying shaly basement rocks
also showed visual evidence of veining and hydrothermal fluid flow. The
alteration footprint at the surface has a strike length of 2.4 k ms and a width of
approximately 500 meters .
• The best intercept from this program returned 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 hole SD-4. All 17 RC holes intercepted anomalous gold and st rong trace
element geochemistry (refer to Figure 3 and 4). Twelve holes displayed grades
above a threshold of >3 meters @ >0.1 g/t Au. These gold results and associated
trace element geochemistry confirm the presence of a large epithermal gold
system.

• Much of the property remains undrilled . T he system stays open at depth and
under late volcanic cover. With multiple targets remaining including in the
mineralized volcanics underlying shaly basement rocks, a potential Phase 2
Drilling Campaign is under review and will be guided by future Leapfrog
modelling and the results of IP survey.
• NV Gold plans to conduct an IP (Induced Polarization) survey and conduct
additional soil sampling to identify new prospective targets . Detailed mapping
of the pro perty is currently underway.

“During my first field review of Sandy in early 2021, I was impressed by the two kilometer
plus strike-length of alteration and the presence of high -grade gold within the area at up
18.1 g/t Au from rock chips. Our Phase 1 Drilling Program was designed to initially collect
data and to test as much of the property as possible. Expectations went high after drilling
into numerous quartz veins and also when two RC holes encountered the underlying and
mineralized shaly basement rocks. In conclusion, even though we did not hit any
economic grades immediately, these are encouraging results, and better gold g rades
are anticipated with zones of silicification/quartz veining yet to be determined . I look
forward to seeing the results of the proposed IP survey and additional mapping to
guide a potentia l Phase 2 Drilling Campaign in the early fall of 2021 ,” stated
Thomas Klein, VP Exploration, NV Gold.
