AIRBORNE SURVEY OUTLINES PROMINENT MAG LOW
AT THE NEW PILOT COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – June 4 , 2021 - Nexus Gold Corp. (“ Nexus” or the “ Company”) (TSX -V: NXS ,
OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to report it has the final report from Precision GeoSurveys detailing
results for the 301 line kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey on the Company’s New
Pilot property located in the Bridge River Camp in central B.C., Canada.
The survey outlined a prominent magnetic low occurring coincidentally with an area which has
returned high historic gold values. Historic Grab samples collected in this area returned values of 7.5
grams-per-tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 106 g/t Au, respectively. This magnetic low featur e extends
for some 450 meters on the New Pilot property and measures up to 150 meters in width. The company
is planning a follow up airborne EM survey to cover the property and to identify potential conductive
and resistive zones to aid in interpretation and identifications of targets for follow up.

New Pilot is a copper-gold exploration property located in the historic Bridge River Mining Camp,
approximately 180 kilometers north of Vancouver, and 10.5 kilometres west of the village of Gold
Bridge, British Columbia.
Previous work by the Company in 2019 at New Pilot consisted of a summer reconnaissance and
sampling program in and around areas of historical exploration . A total of 36 rock samples were
collected at this time. Results confirmed a zone of copper-gold mineralization, with selective samples
returning values of 15.3 g/t Au, 33.4 g/t, silver (“Ag”), and 2.5% copper (“Cu”), in addition to 4.27 g/t
Au, 5.5 g/t Ag, and 0.27% Cu, and 3.91 g/t Au, 3.72 g/t Ag, and 0.51% Cu (See company News Release
dated August 27, 2019).
The 509 -hectare property has been the subject of historical exploration. Between 1992 to 1994
Cogema Canada Ltd conducted detailed prospecting and sampling. 99 grab samples were taken in
three zones, with three returning values in excess of 100 g/t Au, including 102 g/t Au, 106 g/t Au with
visible gold, and 111g/t Au; three returning values in excess of 10 g/t Au (17 g/t Au, 21 g/t Au, 33 g/t
Au); and 14 others returning values in excess of 1 g/t Au.
In addition, 59 soil samples, 229 rock samples, and 66 core samples from a small 108 -meter diamond
drill program were also obtained. Significant results obtained included chip samples of 4.03 g/t Au over
10 meters, and 1 g/t Au over 10.5 meters in drill core.
Three styles of mineralization have been identified on the Project: siliceous fractures containing
sulphides, carbonate altered shears, and quartz veins containing arsenopyrite. The Project location is
situated at the contact of the Coast Crystalline Complex and the Bridge River sediments. Over the past
80 years several exploration programs have been conducted over or near the property, initially
concentrating on the Pilot Mine and its strike extension. The Project is relatively close to the producing
Bralorne Pioneer Mine, located 18 kilometres to the south east.

The Bralorne gold camp represents one of Canada’s most prolific mining operations. From 1928 to
1971, the Bralorne and nearby Pioneer and King mines produced 4.15 million ounces of gold from 7.9
million tons of ore*. The Bridge River Mining Camp is the largest past producer of gold in British
Columbia**. In 2017, Blackstone Minerals Ltd, an Australia n-based company, acquired the Little Gem
Project, a high -grade cobalt and gold project, located approximately 900 meters from the New Pilot
location.
