NEVGOLD INTERCEPTS STRONGLY OXIDIZED, SILICIFIED SANDSTONE WITH QUARTZ VEINING FROM SURFACE WITH ASSAYS PENDING
Further drilling has intercepted strongly oxidized, silicified sandstone with quartz veining from surface at
Nevgold Corp.'s Nutmeg Mountain gold project in Idaho. The Project hosts a 2020 historic Mineral Resource Estimate of 910,000 Indicated ounces of gold (43.5 Mt @ 0.65 g/t Au), and 160,000 Inferred ounces of gold (9.1 Mt @ 0.56 g/t Au) (see Note 1). The Company is awaiting assay results from the further drilling completed at the Project.

. Historical drillholes in the 2020 resource area that have been re-logged also exemplify similar characteristics. (Note 1)
Long Intercept
From Surface
: Hole NMD0004 intercepted over
120
meters
of strongly oxidized, silicified sandstone from surface.
Resource Growth Potential
: the Project has significant resource growth potential along strike and at depth. There is over 100 vertical meters of identified resource potential outside of the US$1500/oz Au pit shell used in the 2020 resource. (Note 1) The focus of the 2023 drill program is to advance Nutmeg Mountain to an updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

:
"
It is very
positive
to see our inaugural drill program continue to track at Nutmeg Mountain.
We eagerly await assay
results
from Hole NMD0004 which
is
currently cut and
at American Assay Lab in
Sparks
, Nevada,
w
ith
final assays pending
.
The signatures
that we are seeing at
or near
surface
are
encouraging
. O
ur technical group is gaining a strong understanding of the regional and localized structures and textures
having spent
the past 10 months re-logging historical drilling
,
and after
each
drill
hole
is completed
in this program
.
We are looking forward to providing
further
updates over the coming
weeks and
months from the drill program
.

On July 14, 2020, GoldMining Inc. (TSX:GOLD, NYSE:GLDG) ("GoldMining") published an NI 43-101 technical report on the Project titled "Technical Report - Almaden Gold Property", with an effective date of April 1, 2020, which includes the following, and which Nevgold is treating as a Historical Mineral Resource Estimate:
The Historical Mineral Resource Estimate is believed to be reliable and relevant and professionally calculated under the assumptions made in 2020. A Nevgold Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify GoldMining's Mineral Resource Estimate as current mineral resources, and Nevgold is not treating the estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The current Nevgold drilling and geological work should be sufficient to allow for Nevgold to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate at the Project.
Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from the Project to the independent sample preparation facility, American Assay Labs in Sparks, NV, was continuously monitored. The samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard fire assay methods. A blank and certified reference material was inserted approximately every 20th sample and duplicates of coarse reject material was analyzed approximately every 20th sample. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
Technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Derick Unger, CPG, the Company's Vice President, Exploration, who is Nevgold's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 and responsible for technical matters of this release.
About the Company
Nevgold is an exploration and development company targeting large-scale mineral systems in the proven districts of Nevada, Idaho, and British Columbia. Nevgold owns a 100% interest in the Limousine Butte and Cedar Wash gold projects in Nevada, and the Ptarmigan silver-polymetallic project in Southeast BC, and has an option to acquire 100% of the Nutmeg Mountain gold project in Idaho.
We seek Safe Harbor.
