Nevada King Drills Multiple Thick +1 G/t Gold Intercepts Highlighted By 1.95 G/t Au Over 29.0m

Highlights:

• Highlight hole AT23NS-177 returned 1.95 g/t Au over 29.0m including 6.60 g/t Au over 6.1m, making this one of the highest-grade holes drilled to date within the NET. AT23NS-177 is located 150m northwest of previously released AT21-3 that intercepted 4.64 g/t Au over 18.3m, (released November 23, 2022), demonstrating the presence of multiple high-grade zones in the NET. The 21 NET holes released today are plotted along nine cross sections (Figures 3-11) together with 49 previously released holes drilled by Nevada King from 2021 to 2023 (Figure 2).
  
  
• Results indicate that both grade and thickness within the NET remains consistent from east to west with highest grades proximal to the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone ("AMFZ") along a 50m-wide corridor. High-grade holes proximal to the AMFZ include previously released AT23NS-112 intercepting 4.08 g/t Au over 21.3m, discovery hole AT21-3 intersecting 4.64 g/t Au over 18.3m, and AT23NS-155 intersecting 2.57 g/t Au over 47.3m including 9.72 g/t over 9.1m. Today's AT23NS-189 grading 1.21 g/t Au over 51.8m continues the trend of finding thicker, >1.0 g/t Au oxide mineralization along this structural corridor.
  
  
• Through its Phase I and II drill programs, Nevada King has substantially increased the drilling density within the NET with a total of 77 holes added to the 23 historical holes collared in the zone. Mineralization remains open along strike and laterally of the NET as seen in Figure 1, extending into new areas such as the Wild West Zone and trending towards regional targets to the northeast of the historic resource such as the Bounty and Lone Ranger Targets.
  
  
• Final assays from the Phase II drilling at the ERT listed below in Table 5 show anomalous Au mineralization in nearly all the holes, which were designed to test shallow, CSAMT intrusive signatures intruding the barren dolomite ridge east of the historic pit. These results along with previously released holes at the ERT including 1.32g/t over 22.9m, show a small footprint of surface oxide mineralization, which importantly demonstrates the correlation between geochemistry and field mapping, with subsurface CSAMT anomalies. This demonstrated correlation can now be used to identify other CSAMT anomalies that are analogous to that of the ERT, but on a district scale. Nevada King is now applying these concepts to much larger anomalies across the district for a potential large-scale discovery.

Cal Herron, Exploration Manager of Nevada King, stated, "Gold mineralization is remarkably uniform in grade and thickness all across the NET, with higher grades occurring along and adjacent to high angle feeder structures. Based on gold, silver, and tracer element distributions, the NET is clearly a northward extension of the Atlanta resource zone; however, unlike the resource zone where mineralization and associated intrusive activity were concentrated in down-dropped grabens, the NET mineralization spread along a relatively intact unconformity surface. The thicker, higher-grade mineralization within the main deposit at Atlanta is hosted within deep low resistivity zones, while the shallow low resistivity zone within the NET represents leakage from the main deposit. Given these relationships between CSAMT responses and the observed gold distribution, we are now able to target similar, shallow NET-type environments elsewhere within the Atlanta caldera that can potentially lead into higher-grade gold concentrations."

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 Reno, Nevada, with full custody being maintained at all times. At American Assay Lab, samples were weighted then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order to produce a 300g pulverized split. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-OES analysis. Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.
