NEVGOLD STAKES HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE ZEUS COPPER PROJECT WITHIN THE HERCULES COPPER TREND, WASHINGTON COUNTY, IDAHO

Nevgold Corp. was a first mover staking approximately 20 square kilometres (approximately 2,000 hectares, or 4,900 acres) contiguous to mineral claims held by Hercules Silver Corp. within the emerging Hercules copper trend of southwestern Idaho. The Zeus Copper Project ("Zeus" or the "Project") is located approximately 20 kilometres (Figure 1) southwest of the copper porphyry discovery made by Hercules ( see Hercules Silver News Release dated October 10, 2023 ). Subsequent to the Hercules copper porphyry discovery, Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick", TSX:ABX, NYSE:GOLD) invested approximately $30 million for an approximate 15% equity stake in Hercules ( Hercules Silver News Release dated November 6, 2023 ; and Barrick Gold News Release dated November 13, 2023 ).

The Zeus Copper Project covers some of the most prospective ground in the Hercules Copper Trend. Zeus is located immediately adjacent to the north, east, and south of Hercules' Mineral Project (see Figure 1) ( see Hercules Silver News Release dated October 2, 2023 ) which is viewed as having the same geological potential as the Hercules copper porphyry discovery. This area of Idaho, named the "Mineral District", was a significant historical copper producer that supported a smelting operation and hosts numerous historical mine workings. The geological mapping compiled by the United States Geological Survey ("USGS") indicates that the Zeus Project is underlain by the same geology encountered at the Hercules Project. Numerous examples of copper mineralization and copper porphyry alteration signatures were encountered by Nevgold's geologists during the recent staking campaign.

Nevgold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: "We are extremely excited to announce our Zeus Copper Project within the Hercules Copper Trend of Washington County, Idaho. Due to our presence in this region of Idaho with Nutmeg Mountain, our 100% owned resource stage, oxide, heap-leach gold project (see Note 1), our technical team had a very strong understanding of the regional geology. We were a first mover and based on our technical knowledge of the area we staked key strategic claims while consolidating some of the most strategic ground in this emerging copper belt. The Zeus Project has many of the same geological characteristics as the Hercules Project, and our team encountered signs of copper mineralization and copper porphyry alteration while staking over recent months .

Although the Zeus Copper Project is an additional project added to the portfolio with significant potential value for our shareholders, we remain focused on expanding our oxide, heap-leach gold resource platform in the Western USA with Nutmeg Mountain (Idaho) and Limousine Butte (Nevada). We are fortunate to have a strong core team, and we are always looking for opportunities to create value for our shareholders. It is also very advantageous to have another project in the district, as we have already built a strong reputation in Washington County, Idaho and we have many relationships to leverage as we advance both Zeus and Nutmeg Mountain. We are looking forward to further developing our portfolio of top-quality assets in the world class jurisdictions of Idaho and Nevada, and we will have many updates from Zeus, Nutmeg Mountain, and Limousine Butte over the coming months."

Nevgold VP Exploration, Derick Unger, comments: "The Hercules copper porphyry discovery is one of the most exciting recent discoveries in the Western USA. Along with Hercules, Nevgold was one of the only other operators in Washington County, Idaho. Since acquiring Nutmeg Mountain two years ago, we have established strong infrastructure and local relationships, while building a very good understanding of the local geology. This allowed us to move quickly to secure some of the most prospective ground on the entire Hercules Copper Trend, which saw a significant increase in land acquisition and exploration activity after the Hercules discovery was announced last October. We have spent significant time in the field completing the staking process, and our team has been encouraged by the numerous indications of a large copper porphyry system at Zeus. The work now begins to target the best part of the system, while we also continue to systematically advance Nutmeg Mountain and Limousine Butte."

Zeus Copper Project

Location & Infrastructure

The Zeus Copper Project is located 120 km northwest of Boise, Idaho and 40 km northwest of Nevgold's Nutmeg Mountain gold project. The recent Hercules copper porphyry discovery is 20 km northeast of Zeus (see Figure 2). The area has strong road, water, and power infrastructure with numerous sources of power and water nearby, and a large network of access roads leading to the Project.

Land Position

Nevgold has acquired approximately 20 square kilometers (approximately 2,000 hectares, or 4,900 acres) of mineral rights through claim staking by the Nevgold team. The claims cover both Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and United States Forest Service ("USFS") ground (see Figures 1 and 2).

District Geology

The Hercules Copper Trend is hosted in the Blue Mountain Province which is considered analogous to the Stikine and Quesnel terranes in British Columbia ("BC"), which host continental-scale trends of large porphyry copper deposits that include the Highland Valley, Red Chris, and Mt. Milligan mines in British Columbia ("BC"), and other large copper deposits such as Galore Creek (Figure 1). The Hercules copper porphyry discovery appears to be the first large-scale copper porphyry to be found in western Idaho and represents an entirely new district for potential copper discoveries along the North American craton boundary.

Planned 2024 Activities

Nevgold plans an active exploration program at Zeus beginning in 2024. This program would include:

• Geological database review;
• Geological mapping;
• Comprehensive surface geochemical sampling;
• Geophysics such as magnetics, gravity, EM, CSAMT, or IP; and,
• Drill testing copper targets identified by the above activities.

Nutmeg Mountain Gold Project (Washington County, Idaho)

In January 2024, Nevgold exercised its option to acquire 100% of the Nutmeg Mountain Gold Project in Washington County, Idaho. Previously, on August 17, 2023, Nevgold announced a Mineral Resource Estimate at Nutmeg of 1,007,000 Indicated ounces of gold (51.7 Mt @ 0.6 g/t Au), and 275,000 Inferred ounces of gold (17.9 Mt @ 0.48 g/t Au) (see Note 1).
