NEVADA KING PASSES 57,000M AT ITS PHASE II DRILL PROGRAM - RESULTS FOR 137 HOLES PENDING AT ATLANTA
- Nevada King has completed five-fold the amount of drilling utilized in the 2020 resource estimate.
- The Phase II program has made several new discoveries, including a bonanza-grade intercept of 37.16 g/t Au over 29m.
- The company is targeting the expansion of mineralization southwards in the recently discovered South Quartzite Ridge Target.
- The last resource estimate at Atlanta was completed in 2020 and is summarized in Table 1 below.
- None.
Highlights:
- To date in the Phase II program 323 holes totaling 57,392m have been completed, comprising 17 core holes totaling 1,587m and 306 reverse circulation ("RC") holes totaling 55,804m. Assays from 186 holes totaling 32,369m from the Phase II program have been reported to date with results pending for 137 drill holes totaling 25,023m.
- Four drill rigs (three RC and one core) are currently turning at
Atlanta . Core drilling is focused along high-grade corridors for ongoing metallurgical testing and confirmation of RC results. RC drilling is following up on the recent bonanza-grade intercept of 37.16 g/t Au over 29m in AT23WS-44 (October 2, 2023), tracking high-grade structures in the West Atlanta Graben Zone ("WAGZ") and along the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone, as well as targeting the expansion of mineralization southwards in the recently discovered South Quartzite Ridge Target where the Company recently intercepted 2.15 g/t Au over 96m in AT23HG-34 and 1.89 g/t Au over 114.3m in a new blind discovery (see October 17, 2023 release). - The last resource estimate at
Atlanta was completed in 2020 and is summarized in Table 1 below. This resource estimate is based on 71 drill holes completed up to 2020 by prior operators. To date,Nevada King's Phase I and Phase II programs have added a total of 386 holes and 63,273m to theAtlanta project database (63 holes totaling 5,881 m in Phase I and 323 holes totaling 57,392m in Phase II). This drilling has stepped out on the mineralization incorporated in the 2020 estimate and importantly has made several new discoveries on which step-out drilling continues northward and southward outside of the resource model, as well as westward into the WAGZ. - To date
Nevada King has completed five-fold the amount of drilling that was utilized in the 2020 resource estimate.

"With numerous shallow reconnaissance targets to test, as well as in-fill and step-out holes planned to add to and reclassify the existing resources, there are no plans to slow down the drilling anytime soon. Road construction is steadily advancing our drill access to the East Ridge and South Quartzite Ridge Target areas. Regional geologic mapping and sampling is ongoing throughout the

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
