Nevada Exploration Clarifies Press Release on Results at Kelly Creek
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the request of IIROC (Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada), Nevada Exploration Inc. (“NGE” or the “Company”) is pleased to clarify and provide additional information related to its January 16, 2018, news release regarding the Company’s results at its Kelly Creek Project (the “Original Press Release”).
Geologic context of nearby deposits
The Company wishes to clarify the information provided about the nearby Lone Tree and Marigold deposits, the sizes of which were rounded to the nearest million ounces and presented simply as 5 Moz and 8 Moz respectively, in the Original Press Release:
- Lone Tree produced 4.60 Moz of gold from 1991 to 2015; and
- Marigold produced 3.24 Moz of gold from 1989 up to and including 2016; and at December 31, 2016, SSR Mining published a 4.98 Moz Indicated Mineral Resource (348.30 Mt at 0.45 g/t).
Disclosure of an Exploration Target
The disclosure of the potential for Kelly Creek to host a 5 to 10 Moz gold deposit constitutes disclosure of an exploration target, and thus is subject to NI 43-101, 2.3(2) – Restricted Disclosure. As a result, the Company wishes to provide additional cautionary language with respect to the statements: “Our results at Kelly Creek combine all the critical components necessary to source a world-class gold deposit.”, and “NGE believes that these results confirm that all the critical components needed to host a world-class 5 - 10 Moz deposit are present at the Kelly Creek Project”. NGE is both required and desires to highlight for its stakeholders that at this stage of exploration, the Kelly Creek Project remains a target for which the potential quantity and grade is still conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
NGE Management Experience
The Company wishes to clarify the statement that NGE’s management has been involved with the discovery of 30 Moz gold in Nevada. Due to the uncertainty associated with characterizing each of the historic resources in terms of their resource and reserve categories, NGE wishes to retract the reference to the number of ounces associated with these discoveries.
