NEVADA KING INTERCEPTS 9.1M OF 4.32 G/T AU EXTENDING MINERALIZATION 420 METRES WEST OF PIT AT WILD WEST ZONE, INITIATES PHASE III DRILL PROGRAM AT ATLANTA
Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTC: NKGFF) has commenced its Phase III drill program at the Atlanta Gold Mine Project in Nevada. The company reported significant gold mineralization in the Wild West Target (WWT), with hole AT24WS-84 intercepting 4.32 g/t Au over 9.1m. This extends mineralization 420 metres west of the previously known extent.
Key highlights include:
- AT24WS-84 represents the westernmost high-grade gold intercept at Atlanta
- The hole bottomed in mineralization, suggesting potential for deeper gold zones
- 11 initial drill pads prepared to test WWT further 500m west
- WWT area currently defined as 500m long and 200m wide, open to the west
- Company plans to mobilize a second drill rig for regional exploration

- Today's AT24WS-84 (4.32 g/t Au over 9.1m) was sited 60m west of previously released AT24WS-83 (4.67 g/t Au over 42.7m), and represents the westernmost intercept of high-grade gold mineralization to date at the Wild West Zone and at the Atlanta Project. AT24WS-84 bottomed in mineralization, encountering 10m of mineralized rock, before the drill rig reached its maximum depth capabilities.
- As seen in Table 2 below, AT24WS-83 successfully recovered in both the upper and lower high-grade zones, resulting in higher average grade and much greater thickness, while today's AT24WS-84 penetrated the upper high-grade zone but was lost at the top of the intervening lower high-grade zone.
Hole No. | Gold Zone | From-To (m) | Length (m) | Au (g/t) |
AT24WS-83 | Upper | 388.7-396.3 | 7.6 | 2.80 |
Intervening | 396.3-405.5 | 9.1 | 1.62 | |
Lower | 405.5-428.4 | 22.9 | 6.98 | |
AT24WS-84 | Upper | 448.2-457.3 | 9.1 | 4.32 |
Intervening | 457.3-458.5 | 1.5 | 1.49 | |
Lower | Not Deep Enough |

- The Company is mobilizing a Schramm 685 drill rig, a powerful drill capable of greater depth penetration, to chase the mineralization seen in AT24WS-84 further westward and to greater depth across the WWT. As shown in Figure 1 below, 11 initial drill pads have been prepared that are designed to test the WWT a further 500m west of its current drilled extent.
- As currently defined, the recently identified WWT area is 500m long in a north-south direction and 200m wide, remaining open to the west. The target is located on the west side of the West Atlanta Fault #2 ("WAF2") in an area previously thought to be unmineralized, but where recent drilling has revealed thick, high-grade mineralization extending well west of the Atlanta Resource Zone.
- As mentioned above, AT24WS-84 did recover through the upper high-grade zone. Hole AT24WS-81 (released August 19, 2024), drilled 100m to the northwest, did not reach the mineralized zone, but did encounter elevated Au-Ag-As-Mo, similar to that seen above the gold zones in nearby holes. The down-hole tracer element gradients seen in both AT24WS-84 and AT24WS-81 strongly suggests mineralization extends further to the west.
- The Company plans to mobilize a second drill rig to
Atlanta in the coming weeks to begin a 59-hole regional pass of 12 regional drill targets, previously laid out in its September 17, 2024 and October 3, 2024 releases.

"A second, NW-trending deep gravity-inferred structure cuts through the centre of the WWZ where it intersects the E-W gravity trend and then continues down the axial plane of the South Quartzite Ridge Target to the southeast. Generally speaking, structural intersections commonly provide favourable loci for metals concentration, so the conjunction of major structures we see in the WWT is a good sign, particularly since it coincides with a strong CSAMT low resistivity zone interpreted as a shallow intrusive body. Hydrothermal fluids associated with shallow, low-resistivity intrusions are closely associated with gold mineralization throughout the current resource area, along the East Ridge Target (released July 16, 2024), and at the northern end of the South Quartzite Ridge Target (released July 23, 2024). As we continue to move westward with deeper holes into previously untested territory, we look forward to seeing what Mother Nature has in store for us."
QA/QC Protocols
All RC samples from the Atlanta Project are split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a nominal 2kg sample weight. CRF standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning all three inserts are included in each 20-sample group. Samples are shipped by a local contractor in large sample shipping crates directly to American Assay Lab in
