Vancouver, British Columbia, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NevGold Corp. (“NevGold” or the “Company”) (TSXV:NAU) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce additional oxide gold-antimony assays from the 2026 drill program at its Limousine Butte Project (the “Project”, “Limo Butte”) in Nevada. These results have continued to extend high-grade mineralization on the eastern side of the Resurrection Ridge resource, adding significant mineralization potential both inside and outside of the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) pit-shell released on July 15, 2026 (see News Release).

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: “The 2026 drill program at Limo Butte continues to deliver exceptional results, expanding mineralization beyond the boundaries of the current resource and supporting our objective of growing both the scale and quality of the 2026 MRE released in July. We are particularly encouraged by the consistency of high-grade oxide gold-antimony mineralization encountered on the eastern side of the Resurrection Ridge resource area. Hole LB26-009 was the strongest hole to date from our 2026 program intercepting grade up to 14.50 g/t oxide Au, with larger intervals of 8.28 g/t oxide Au over 3.0 meters within 1.73 g/t oxide Au over 45.7 meters. The program remains on schedule and under budget, with approximately 16,000 meters completed across 70 holes, and assays pending from 54 additional holes. The combination of exceptional results received, a substantial volume of assays still pending, and increasing confidence in our geological model reinforces our belief that Limo Butte is emerging as one of the most significant gold-antimony development projects in the United States.”

Limo Butte Planned 2026-2027 Activities / Status Update

NevGold will continue its active work programs at Limo Butte including:

• Continuing to drill test gold-antimony targets (~20,000 meters is planned in 2026 focused on the Bullet Zone / Armory Fault discoveries and resource conversion);

• Advancing metallurgical testwork (ongoing);

• Advancing PEA Engineering Study (in process, targeted completion Q1-2027);

• Commencing early permitting for future operations (in process; key driver of permitting is advancement of Engineering Study)

2026 Drilling Results – Resurrection Ridge

*Downhole thickness reported; true width varies depending on drill hole dip and is approximately 70% to 90% of downhole thickness.
**The gold equivalents (“AuEq”) are based on assumed metals prices of US$3,000/oz of gold and US$40,000 per tonne of antimony, and assumed metals recoveries of 80% for gold and 75% for antimony.
***Values less than 0.10 g/t Au and 0.05% Sb not included.

Drillhole Orientation Details

NevGold Geological Model Summary
The Devonian Pilot Shale (“Pilot Shale”, “Pilot”) is the principal local host to Carlin-type mineralization at Limousine Butte. At Limousine Butte, positive gold grades commonly coincide with silicification and jasperoid breccias within the Pilot Shale, and this alteration style is also host to elevated antimony.

NevGold’s 2021–2025 work included integrating historical drilling, new mapping, and surface sampling which produced an updated district model and refined property-wide controls on mineralization. At Resurrection Ridge, Devonian–Silurian dolomite is exposed immediately east of known gold-antimony mineralization. Earlier explorers inferred that the overlying Pilot Shale had been eroded in this area, and they did not test eastward, despite shallow high-grade intercepts in the easternmost holes drilled at Resurrection Ridge. The new model indicates the older dolomite was thrust overthe prospective Pilot Shale unit (see Figure 5), creating structural preparation and a fluid trap that preserves the favorable host at depth, the classic architecture for a Carlin-type system.
The 2025-2026 drill programs have validated the new NevGold geological model at the Project. Holes collared in dolomite, passed through the upper thrust plate, and intersected gold and antimonyat multiple horizons within the underlying Pilot Shale validating the new geological model and materially expanding the potential mineralization footprint at the Project.

The preserved Pilot Shale extends more than one kilometer east of prior drilling at Resurrection Ridge (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).

The preserved Pilot Shale unit extends more than 1 kilometer east of prior drilling at Resurrection Ridge. To view image please click here

Property-wide, the updated model outlines multiple Au–Sb target corridors that track outcrops and projected subsurface positions of the Pilot Shale, where repeated faulting and thrusting provided fluid pathways and focused mineralization. NevGold’s 2026 drill program will continue to test these high-priority targets (see Figure 4).

Together, these datasets support a district-scale interpretation in which thrust repetition preserves the Pilot Shale at depth east of Resurrection Ridge and focuses Au–Sb mineralization along structurally prepared horizons, establishing multiple high-priority targets for step-out drilling and follow-up work.

A number of high priority targets have been defined focused on resource conversion, resource expansion, and new discoveries across the large, consolidated ~70 square kilometer (7,000 hectares) land package. NevGold maintains a continuous drill target pipeline at the Project, which will be advanced with the largest targeted drill program (~20,000 meters) that the Company has drilled since acquiring Limo Butte in 2021.

Investor Relations Providers
The Company wishes to clarify disclosure regarding its previous engagement of investor relations providers in its press releases dated June 3, 2025 and June 4, 2025 (collectively, the “June 2025 Press Releases”).

The June 2025 Press Releases disclosed that the Company entered into the digital marketing services agreement dated May 26, 2025 with Altura Media Co Inc. (“Altura”) in which Altura provided a comprehensive suite of investor relations services to the Company. The June 2025 Press Releases incorrectly referred to a “three-month term” when it should have referred to a “six-month term” that commenced on June 9, 2025, as provided in the digital marketing services agreement. The fees for the digital marketing services were originally priced at $145,000. The Company terminated the digital marketing services agreement with Altura prior to the end of the six-month term on September 30, 2025 and only paid a total of $100,250 to Altura under that agreement. The June 2025 Press Releases did not disclose that the Company and Altura had also entered into the consulting agreement dated May 26, 2025 in which Altura provided pre-marketing campaign consulting services to the Company for a two-week period for $5,000 that commenced on May 26, 2025. Accordingly, the total fees paid to Altura under both agreements was $105,250.

In addition, the Company engaged Machai Capital Inc. (“Machai”) to provide marketing services to the Company for a two-month term that commenced on June 1, 2025. While the June 2025 Press Releases disclosed fees of $350,000 to be paid to Machai, the parties subsequently negotiated a final fee of $661,500 for the marketing services, which had been paid in full to Machai. The Company’s initial engagement of Machai began in June, 2021 in which the Company and Machai entered into a digital marketing services agreement dated June 14, 2021. Under the digital marketing services agreement, Machai provided branding, content and data optimization to assist with the creation of marketing campaigns for the Company for a six-month term. Machai also assisted with tracking and organizing the creation of marketing campaigns through search engine optimization, search engine marketing, lead generation, digital marketing, social media marketing, email marketing and brand marketing. The Company paid Machai a fee of $3,000 per month for a total of $18,000 pursuant to the digital marketing services agreement dated June 14, 2021.

The services provided by Machai were rendered by Suneal Sandhu. The services provided by Altura were rendered by Luis Matthias Campos. The Company’s engagements with Machai and Altura are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. See the June 2025 Press Releases for further information.
