NEWS RELEASE
NEXUS GOLD COMPLETES PHASE TWO EXPLORATION AT MCKENZIE GOLD PROJECT,
RED LAKE, ONTARIO
Vancouver, Canada – November 8, 2019 - Nexus Gold Corp. (“Nexus” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NXS,
OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E ) is pleased to report that it has been informed by geological consultants,
Rimini Exploration & Consulting, that its second phase of prospecting on its 100%-owned McKenzie
Gold Project located at Red Lake, Ontario, has now been completed.
The phase two prospecting program , which included approximately 60 grab and chip samples, was
designed to further determine areas of interest on the property’s southern end, and to continue pre-
drill phase data compilation to help determine initial drill targets . The focus of the prospecting was
concentrated in and around Perch Lake , in the Saint Paul ’s Bay area , located in t he southernmost
section of the 1,348.5-hectare property.
Historic drilling in this area has returned significant values, including 7.49 grams-per-tonne (“g/t”) gold
(“Au”) over 8.2 meters, 2.2 g/t Au over 5.5 meters, 15.54 g/t Au over .8 meter, 17.02 g/t Au over .5
meter, and 23.87 g/t Au over .2 meter (see figure 2).
“The ongoing mapping, sampling, and data compilation Rimini is doing for us is critical in preparing
McKenzie for an initial Nexus drill program,” said President & CEO, Alex Klenman. “ McKenzie is a
priority for us. It’s right in the middle of a world class district, with prolific production and major success
stories in the immediate area. The volume of high-grade samples and even the limited drilling done at
McKenzie make it a very compelling exploration target. Drill targets are being determined now and we
are eager to begin that phase of development,” continued Mr. Klenman.

Results from this phase two prospecting program will be reported once they have been received,
tabulated and verified. The southern portion of the McKenzie Gold Project is bordered by Premier Gold
Mines Ltd Hasaga property and Pure Gold Mining’s Madsen Gold property.
Compilation Summary – McKenzie Gold Project
As reported in a news release dated October 11, 2019, Nexus received a compilation summary of
important historic data from project geological consultants Rimini Exploration . The compilation
integrated the regional geological and regional geophysical data, thus allowing the Company's
geological staff to compare these trends to the information obtained through ground exploration
conducted to date on the property. The more comprehensive data from the summary, coupled with
the new data from the phase two prospecting program, is being utilized to determine suitable areas to
be tested by drilling.
The Rimini compilation summary produced historical data the Company was previously unaware of
regarding multiple historical grab samples taken on the McKenzie claim block. The Company ha d
previously disclosed several high -grade historical grab sample results, including 331.14 g/t Au, 18.02
g/t Au, 212.8 g/t Au, 313 g/t Au, 18.02 g/t Au and 9.37 g/t Au.
In the summer of 2019 Nexus conducted it's first ground reconnaissance program on the McKenzie
property, and results returned notable sample assays, including 135.4 g/t Au and 9.3 g/t Au (see
Company news release dated June 25, 2019).
Additional high-grade historical grab samples previously unknown to the Company and revealed in the
Rimini summary include 142.49 g/t Au, 115.2 g/t Au, 114.57 g/t Au, 93.71 g/t Au, 68.03 g/t Au, 53.01
g/t Au, and 16.65 g/t Au from areas located on McKenzie Island (north block).
The Rimini data compilation summary also indicate d that little to no exploration has been conducted
over the actual lake portion of the claim block. The Company has noted from the regional dat a that a
number of northerly trending geophysical trends extend within the lake itself and is viewing these
trends as potential faults or breaks within the Dome Stock.
Preliminary review of lake sediment sampling conducted on the property in 1989 indicates coincidental
anomalous gold geochemical values occurring. Historical values obtained from the analysis of +150
mesh screened lake sediment samples returned values of 0.159 ounce -per-ton (5.45 g/t) Au, 0.154
ounce per ton (5.28 g/t) Au, and 0.116 once per ton (3.98 g/t) Au. The Company now intends to conduct
more exploration activity within the lake -bound portion of the project area to determine the
prospectivity of a large underexplored section of the property.
