NEWS RELEASE
NEXUS GOLD RECEIVES EARLY SAMPLING RESULTS FROM NEWLY ACQUIRED
MANZOUR-DAYERE GOLD PROJECT, BURKINA FASO, WEST AFRICA
Vancouver, Canada – February 27, 2020 - Nexus Gold Corp. (“Nexus” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NXS,
OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to announce early sampling results from the 100%-owned
Manzour-Dayere gold exploration permit, located 325 km south west of the capital city of
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Upon acquiring the 190.53 sq-km (19,053-hectare) concession (see Company News Release dated
February 4, 2020) Company geologists began a comprehensive ground reconnaissance program to
identify potential mineralized zones, and map active orpaillages (areas of artisanal mining activity).
Results of the first dozen grab samples have been received from an active artisanal zone in the
northeast corner of the concession. Highlights of this initial round of sampling includes 9.60 grams-
per-tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”), 7.07 g/t Au, 5.73 g/t Au, 3.84 g/t Au and 2.84 g/t Au. These new samples
add to the historical data collected to date and will assist Company geologists in determining potential
exploration targets for future drilling.
The Manzour-Dayere Concession is located along the Boromo Greenstone belt, an early Proterozoic
Birimian sequence of the West African Craton, that is home to several significant gold deposits.
Recent historical exploration on the property conducted between 2011 and 2014 returned reported
high-grade values of 132 g/t Au, 85.40 g/t Au, 61.20 g/t Au, and 27.9 g/t Au, from select grab samples
of quartz veining at the main orpaillage in the extreme northeast corner of the property, while select
grab samples of the sedimentary host rock returned values of 103 g/t Au and 21.40 g/t Au, respectively.
The workings on the main orpaillage are extensive and extend to depths of 60 to 80 meters below
surface.
Situated in southwestern Burkina Faso, near the border with Ghana, the area is home to several
producing mines, including Yaramoko (Roxgold), Hounde (Endeavour), Poura (Newmont), Bondi
(Sarama) and Gaoua (B2Gold).

Nexus now controls over 750-sq kms of prospective ground in Burkina Faso.
