NV Gold Initiates First Stage Drilling Program at the
Discovery Bay Project
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 7 2022 / NV Gold Corporation
(TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF), (Frankfurt: 8NV) (“NV Gold” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated a first-stage four- hole drilling
program at the Discovery Bay Gold Project in Nevada.
The Discovery Bay Project is located approximately 14 km southeast of the McCoy- Cove
gold deposits in Lander County, Nevada (see figure 1).
The Discovery Bay target is focused on an almost unexplored window of Triassic
Osobb Mountain Quartzite and Cane Springs Limestone (host rocks at McCoy), along with
additional underlying promising host lithologies. Most of the target is covered by thin
layers of Tertiary volcanics (Basal Tuffs), Quaternary gravels and sediments with little
outcrop. Historical drilling in 2018 did encounter a promising layer of sulfidized intrusive
rocks in contact with decalcified and Au-anomalous silty limestones.
This initia l progra m will consi st of approxima tely 1500 – 1800 mete rs of reverse-
circulation drilling in fo ur holes. The Company expec ts the drilling to be completed in
approximately six weeks.
Discovery Bay is in alignment with major multi-million-ounce gold districts, starting
in the north with Turquoise Ridge and Phoenix, and in close proximity to the McCoy- Cove
Mines. This mineralized NS structural trend is also referred to as the “Rabbit Suture
Corridor”. To have potentially mineralized McCoy-Cove host lithologies exposed at
the surface, and mostly being covered by Tertiary volcanics and Quaternary gravels,
makes this a prime target for a potential exciting discovery! NV Gold has conducted
ground gravity and IP (Induced Polarization) surveys to capture the full extent of this
narrow Triassic window (see figures 1 & 2). This first pass of drilling will be very wide-
spaced (a kilometer plus!). It was designed to calibrate our geophysical models and to
confirm the presence of host lithologies. NV Gold is aiming for a Carlin-type gold system
and any type of intercepted alteration or gold mineralization can be considered a success
and opens a path to a possible new discovery,” stated Thomas Klein, VP Exploration,
NV Gold.
John Watson, President, and CEO of NV Gold added “The Discovery Bay program is
the latest step in our stated plan to investigate and drill multiple projects each year to
advance our Nevada portfolio. Although Discovery Bay will be a somewhat modest
2
initial program, our near-term project goal is the development of a three-dimensional
model of this promising geologic setting.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
John E. Watson
President & CEO
