Kinross Gold First Hole Drilling Update at Riley Gold's PWC Gold Project (Cortez District - Nevada)

30.10.2024  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, October 30, 2024 - Riley Gold Corp. (TSXV: RLYG) (OTCQB: RLYGF) ("Riley Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report and update on drilling at the Company's Pipeline West/Clipper Gold Project ("PWC") by Kinross Gold U.S.A., Inc. ("Kinross"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinross Gold Corp. (TSX: K) (NYSE: KGC).

As announced on July 10th, 2024, Kinross initiated drilling at Riley Gold's PWC project targeting previously untested portions of the property for favourable lower plate carbonate host rocks of the Wenban and Roberts Mountains Formations. The Wenban Formation is the primary host to all the >5.0-million-ounce gold deposits in the Cortez District. Targeting is based on surface geologic mapping, soil geochemistry and controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotelluric ("CSAMT") surveys. In addition, re-interpretation of historic drill hole, gravity, magnetic and CSAMT data is being used for developing additional drill targets. The primary target is a large, disseminated gold deposit peripheral to the Gold Acres stock, which is the geologic setting for Nevada Gold Mines LLC's ("NGM") Pipeline gold deposit.

Inaugural Drill Hole PWC 01-24

The first core hole drilled at PWC was designed to identify local stratigraphy in an area with no previous deep drilling. PWC 01-24 was successfully completed to a depth of 3,592.5 feet (1,095 m) and intercepted a 1,248 foot (380 m) thick structurally complex section of lower plate carbonates (including various units of the Devonian Wenban Formation) starting at a depth of 2,345 feet (715 m). PWC 01-24 demonstrates that known Cortez District host lithologies exist at explorable drill depths over a succinctly large, untested area proximal to the Pipeline complex area.

All samples from PWC 01-04 have been submitted to ALS Labs in Reno, NV for gold assays and trace element geochemistry with results pending.

Technical Review

The Kinross team as well as Riley's technical committee lead, Mr. Paul Dobak, are reviewing the core and geologic sections to further interpret findings in advance of assay results. Results from this review will be used to plan the next round of drilling.

Kinross Agreement Overview

Riley Gold entered into an exploration and venture option agreement (the "Agreement") with Kinross on March 13, 2024. The Agreement grants Kinross the right to earn up to a 75% interest in Riley Gold's PWC project by spending a minimum of US$20 million (see news release dated March 14, 2024 for details). PWC is located in Lander County, Nevada and consists of approximately 24.7 km² in the heart of the significant gold producing Cortez District (Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend). Kinross is funding and operating PWC and has a strategic 9.9% (on a partially diluted basis) equity interest in the Company acquired through a private placement.

About PWC:

PWC constitutes a very prospective exploration property for Carlin-type, disseminated and replacement gold deposits. PWC consists of a land package totaling approximately 24.7 square kms of unpatented mining claims and patented fee lands adjoining NGM. PWC is situated along the Cortez Structural Zone of the exceptionally productive Cortez Trend within the Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend in north central Nevada (Figure 1). The Cortez and Pipeline complexes (adjoining Riley's PWC project boundary) are top producers within Nevada, a State that has consistently produced between 4-5 million ounces of gold a year.
