NEWS RELEASE
NEXUS GOLD BEGINS EXPLORATION AT THE DISTRICT SCALE, CYCLONE GOLD-NICKEL-
COPPER PROJECT IN QUEBEC
Vancouver, Canada – March 9, 2022 - Nexus Gold Corp. (“ Nexus” or the “ Company”) (TSX-V: NXS,
OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E ) is pleased to announce it has commenced exploration at its wholly-owned
13,166-hectare Cyclone Project, a gold -nickel-copper property which covers a 28 -kilometre strike
length of the Aquilon Greenstone Belt in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec.
The Company has contracted Prospectair Geosurveys Inc of Gatineau, Quebec, to conduct a property -
wide, 1,127 line-kilometers (line-spacing of 150 meters) combined magnetic (MAG) and time -domain
electromagnetic (TDEM) airborne survey.
The property was acquired based on its high potential for gold , nickel, and copper mineralization, but
only limited historical e xploration. The magnetic component of the survey will guide the lithological
interpretation of the basement rocks, as well as define structural off -sets and potential alteration
features. The electromagnetic (EM) of the survey aims to define conductive f eatures which may be
related to sulphide accumulations with the potential for nickel and copper mineralization related to
the large volumes of ultramafic intrusions on a portion of the Property.
The Cyclone property consists of a large, district-scale, gold-nickel-copper exploration project, located
in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec. Within the James Bay Region are several past / producing
gold mines including Newmont’s Eleonore Gold Mine, which began production in 2014. Cyclone
comprises 260 mineral claims covering a 28-kilometer-long portion of the Aquilon Greenstone Belt.
The Aquilon Belt is a relatively newly characterized (2011) series of volcano -sedimentary rocks that
hosts potential for gold and nickel/copper mineralization.
Historical exploration at Cyclone consists of regional -scale mapping and prospecting, as well as an
airborne magnetic-electromagnetic (EM) survey. The regional-scale mapping confirmed the mafic and
ultramafic rocks, felsic volcanics and iron -formation. During the regional -scale mapping, some of the
ultramafic rocks were found to contain minor sulphide (pyrhhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite) with
elevated nickel and chromium. The EM conductors remain largely un-tested.
Two types of gold mineralization have been identified within the western part of the belt. High grade
vein-type gold mineralization found in auriferous quartz and carbonate veins hosted within felsic rock
associated with felsite's and disseminated pyrite halos. Mineralization tends to be found along a strong
lineament known as the Wolfe Corridor . And l ower grade gold mineralization associated with bands
of disseminated sulphides (Py -Po) with some anomalous copper and zinc values. Large volumes of
ultramafic rock at the Cyclone Prope rty suggest there is good potential for magmatic sulphide
mineralization (Ni +/- PGE’s).

Sirios Resources has conducted several exploration programs in the same greenstone belt at their
Aquilon Property, located immediately to the west of the Cyclone Property. Sirios’ property has thirty
(30) high-grade surface gold showings, including some with spectacular gold grades up to 800 grams-
per-tonne and more (see Sirios Resources news releases September 22, 2020, and January 19, 2011) .
Numerous shallow drill holes were completed on the property over the years (205 holes totaling
12,247m), with the majority of the work concentrated on four of the showings.
* Management cautions that past results or discoveries on adjacent properties may not necessarily be
indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company’s properties.
The Cyclone Project has not yet seen any drilling, or a systematic exploration program for gold or base-
metals. At the north end of the Property, it is approximately 1.5 kilometres from an all-weather access
road to the La Forge hydroelectric facility, and the all-weather Trans-Taiga Highway passes less than 1
kilometer from the south end of the Property.
