Nevada Sunrise Provides Update on Phase 2 Drilling Program at the Gemini Lithium Project, Nevada
October 3, 2022
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 3, 2022: Nevada Sunrise Metals Corp. (โNevada Sunriseโ, or the โCompanyโ, formerly Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp.) (TSXV: NEV, OTC: NVSGF) announced today that commencement of the Phase 2 drilling program at the Companyโs 100%-owned Gemini Lithium Project (โGeminiโ) is imminent. Gemini is located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada approximately 23 miles (35 kilometres) southeast of North Americaโs only lithium mine at Silver Peak, Nevada. The Phase 2 drilling program is permitted for up to twelve (12) borehole locations and is planned as follow-up to the two successful boreholes that intersected significant lithium values during the maiden drilling program at Gemini in March and April 2022 (see Nevada Sunrise news releases dated May 18, 2022 and June 6, 2022).
The drilling contractor selected by Nevada Sunrise experienced delays at its previous work site during September and has provided assurance that the drill and crew will be mobilizing to Gemini in early October 2022. The first drill hole of the program is GEM22-03, which is planned to reach a minimum depth of 1,500 feet (457 metres). Up to six boreholes are planned in Phase 2 for an estimated total of 8,000 feet (2,439 metres) of drilling. The exploration goals for the Phase 2 program are: (1) test lithium-bearing brine and sediments at greater depths than previous boreholes GEM22-01 and GEM22-02, and (2) determine the lateral extent of lithium-mineralized brine and sediments identified in the previous Gemini drill holes. Drill hole locations may be amended or revised during the Phase 2 program as results warrant.

About Gemini
Gemini consists of 582 unpatented placer and lode claims located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of Lida, Nevada. In the spring of 2022, Nevada Sunrise expanded the size of the Project to a land position covering approximately 5,700 acres (2,300 hectares). Gemini is situated adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a BLM land reserve set aside for solar and wind power generation projects until 2033.
The Lida Valley is a flat, arid basin with a similar geological setting to the better-known Clayton Valley basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium brine mine, which has operated continuously since 1966. Exploration at Gemini is complemented by the Companyโs 80.09 acre/feet/year water right, a pre-requisite for the exploration and development of lithium brine projects in Nevada. Under State of Nevada law, water cannot be pumped from a subterranean source without a valid water permit.
Nevada Sunrise drilled two reverse circulation (โRCโ) boreholes for a total of 2,020 feet (615.85 metres) in its maiden drilling program at Gemini in March and April 2022. The initial results represent a new discovery of lithium-bearing sediments and lithium-in-water in the western Lida Valley, which has not been historically drill tested for lithium mineralization. The analytical results from boreholes GEM22-01 and GEM22-02, located 0.69 miles (1.1 kilometres) apart suggest that the extent of lithium-bearing clay layers and waters at Gemini may be widespread:
Borehole GEM22-01: weighted-average of 1,203.41 parts per million (โppmโ) lithium over 580 feet (176.83 metres) from 320 to 900 feet (97.56 to 274.39 metres), including 1,578.19 ppm lithium over 300 feet (91.46 metres);
Borehole GEM22-02: weighted-average of 1,101.73 ppm lithium over 730 feet (222.56 metres) from 390 to 1,120 feet (118.90 to 341.46 metres), including 2,217.69 ppm lithium over 130 feet (39.63 metres) and 3,304.34 ppm lithium over 50 feet (15.24 metres).
Water samples from borehole GEM-22-01 averaged 327.7 milligrams per litre (โmg/Lโ) lithium over 220 feet (67.07 metres) from 600 to 820 feet (182.93 to 250 metres) with a peak value of 519 mg/L lithium. Water samples from borehole GEM22-02 returned an average of 116.28 mg/L lithium over 460 feet (140.24 metres) from 660 to 1,120 feet (201.22 to 341.46 metres) with a peak value of 286.0 mg/L lithium.
Sampling and Analytical QA/QC and Statement of Qualified Person
The results of geochemical analysis on sediment samples described in this news release were shipped in March and April 2022 to American Assay Laboratories and ALS Group USA (โALSโ) and were analyzed utilizing a multi-element ICP-MS method. Specifically, the analytical method involves aqua regia digestion of the sample followed by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technique to ionize the sample, and spectrometry to determine elemental concentrations. Duplicates, field blanks, and certified reference standards were inserted at regular intervals in the sample stream to ensure accuracy of the analytical method.
Water parameters including TDS, conductivity, temperature, and pH values were obtained in the field by direct measurement with a handheld Hanna Model 98194 Multiparameter Meter, which meets Good Laboratory Practice (as proscribed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) for calibration and measurement. All depth measurements reported, including sample and interval widths are down-hole. As holes are oriented vertical and geologic stratigraphy is primarily horizontal to sub-horizontal, downhole measurements are assumed to be close to true thickness.
Groundwater samples were collected at 20-foot (6.1-metre) intervals and sent to Western Environmental Testing Laboratory in Reno, Nevada under project chain-of-custody protocols for analysis. Industry standard methods for examination of water were employed by the laboratory. General chemistry testing included analysis for specific gravity, total hardness, total alkalinity, bicarbonate, carbonate, hydroxide, total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity. Anions (chloride, sulfate) were analyzed by ion chromatography. Trace metals (lithium, magnesium, boron, calcium, potassium, strontium, and sodium) were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) methods.

Nevada Sunrise Receives Final Lithium Analyses From Borehole GEM22-02 - Mineralized Intersection Improves to 1,101 ppm Lithium over 730 Feet at the Gemini Lithium Project, Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 18, 2022: Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. (โNevada Sunriseโ, or the โCompanyโ) (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that the remaining geochemical analyses have been received for borehole GEM22-02, drilled at its 100%-owned Gemini Lithium Project (โGeminiโ) located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada. These additional analyses from borehole GEM22-02 have extended the length of the previously-reported mineralized intersection (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated April 28, 2022) and improved the lithium grade to 1,101.73 parts per million (โppmโ) lithium over 730 feet (222.56 metres), including 2,217.69 ppm lithium over 130 feet (39.63 metres) and 3,304.34 ppm lithium over 50 feet (15.24 metres).
Borehole GEM22-02 was collared at a location approximately 0.69 miles (1.1 kilometre) south of GEM22-01 and intersected the same lithium-bearing clay layer at 390 feet (118.90 metres). Samples were collected over 20-foot (6.1 metre) intervals1 down to a depth of 300 feet (91.46 metres). Thereafter, samples were collected over 10-foot (3.05 metre) intervals1 to the end of hole at 1,120 feet (341.46 metres). Samples were submitted to ALS Group USA (โALSโ), in Reno, Nevada, and produced the results shown in Table 1 below:
Table 1. Final analytical results from borehole GEM22-02
Samples are a composite of material collected from the rotary splitter in the RC drilling rig, which produces a continuous, representative 3 to 5 kilogram sample for each sample interval.
About the 2022 Gemini Drilling Program
Nevada Sunrise drilled two reverse circulation (โRCโ) boreholes for a total of 2,020 feet (615.85 metres) in its maiden drilling program at Gemini in March and April 2022. The drill sites were located within a defined gravity low that hosts conductive layers detected by historical ground electromagnetic (โEMโ)
surveys. The results from the first two holes at Gemini represent a new discovery of lithium-bearing sediments in the western Lida Valley, which has not been historically drill tested for lithium mineralization.
Electromagnetic Survey Results Showing Conductive Zones and 2022 Drill Holes at Gemini
Additional drilling is planned following receipt of an amendment to the current Bureau of Land Management drilling permit, which will be required to cover the Companyโs newly-expanded land position. In April and May 2022, Nevada Sunrise staked 288 unpatented lode claims totaling 5,760 acres (1,756 hectares) over the outline of the gravity low to effectively cover the possible extent of the lithium-bearing clay layers. Follow-up geophysical EM surveys are underway at Gemini within the interpreted area of the historical gravity low to further map and assess the conductive layers first detected by Nevada Sunrise in 2016 (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated May 12, 2022).

Ah , a near miss ...
Nevada Sunrise Announces Drilling Results from Coronado VMS Project
TSX Venture Exchange: NEV
VANCOUVER , Jan. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (NEV.V) announced today the results of the first diamond drill hole at the Coronado VMS property ("Coronado", or the "Project"), located in the Tobin and Sonoma Range of Pershing County, Nevada , approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Winnemucca . Sulphides were encountered in the hole above and below a wide fault zone, but geochemical values of metals such as copper, gold, nickel, cobalt and zinc were low, and not of economic interest. However, Nevada Sunrise believes that as a first test of the Coronado South geophysical anomaly, drill hole COR18-01 represents a "near-miss" of the best part of the target, and that further drilling is warranted at the Project.

Summary of COR18-01
Hole COR18-01 was completed at the Coronado South target to a depth of 375.73 metres (1,232 feet). Winter drilling conditions necessitated an alternate location for the initial drill hole and a site approximately 170 metres (550 feet) from the original location was chosen to test an electromagnetic ("EM") anomaly detected in an airborne survey carried out by the Company in July 2018. The drill hole intersected what is believed to be the stratigraphic upper portion of the host volcanic section for the EM anomaly, which demonstrated a complex structural regime.
Downhole conditions were difficult during the program and daily drilling progress was slower than anticipated. An altered volcanic section that included argillites, basalt flows and flow breccias was intersected below 164.6 to 194.5 metres (540 feet to 638 feet) before being faulted off. This section is interpreted to be the stratigraphic hanging wall to the EM conductor. Significant hydrothermal epidote-chlorite alteration was evident in the flows and flow breccias below 188 metres (618 feet). After intersecting the volcanic section and fault zone, the hole encountered a different structural block dominated by bedded cherts. The fault structure is believed to have disrupted the stratigraphic lower portion of the host volcanic sequence and position of the conductor by displacing it to the east. The Company's geologists observed that the drill hole passed through at least three major fault zones. Several weakly-developed stockwork sulphide zones were encountered deeper in the hole at depth intervals from 268.2 to 274.4 metres (881 to 900 feet) and 313.1 to 316.46 metres (1027 to 1038 feet). These zones consisted of fracture-controlled, cross-cutting, and fresh to strongly oxidized pyrite veinlets and disseminations (< 1%).
Additional drilling at Coronado in the spring of 2019 is planned following receipt of key amendments to the drill permit issued by the Bureau of Land Management in order to provide better access to the first priority target area.

A brief video presentation on Coronado and the Coronado North and South VTEMโข targets can be viewed here: https://player.vimeo.com/video/291807706
Core samples were collected from both sulphide zones and shipped to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for multi-element analysis by ICP-OES with aqua regia digestion for certain elements, and fire assay for gold.

Nevada Sunrise Completes First Drill Hole at Coronado VMS Project
VANCOUVER, Dec. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that the first diamond drill hole has been completed at the Coronado VMS property ("Coronado", or the "Project"), located in the Tobin and Sonoma Range of Pershing County, Nevada, approximately 48 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Winnemucca.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/800304/Nevada_Sunrise_Gold_Corporation_Nevada_Sunrise_Completes_First_D.jpg
Hole COR18-01 was completed at the Coronado South target to a depth of 375.73 metres (1,232 feet). Winter drilling conditions necessitated an alternate location for the initial drill hole and a site approximately 170 metres (550 feet) from the original location was chosen to test an electromagnetic ("EM") anomaly detected in an airborne survey carried out by the Company in July 2018. Downhole conditions were difficult during the program and daily drilling progress was slower than anticipated. The drill hole intersected what is believed to be the host section for the EM anomaly. That section included a sequence of black argillites and basaltic flows and flow breccias (Pumpernickel Formation) between a depth of 154.88 and 194.51 metres (508 and 638 feet). Significant hydrothermal epidote alteration was evident in flow breccias below 188 metres (618 feet). This alteration is likely related to the EM anomaly and distal to a potential VMS system. The host section was abruptly cut off by a major fault at 194.51 metres (638 feet) that extends to a depth of 208.23 metres (683 feet). This fault is one of several that were intersected by the drillhole and exemplifies the structural complexity of this area, which is relatively unknown. Several weakly developed stockwork sulphide zones were encountered deeper in the hole at depth intervals from 268.2 to 274.4 metres (881 to 900 feet) and 313.1 to 316.46 metres (1027 to 1038 feet). These zones consisted of fracture-controlled, cross-cutting, fresh to strongly oxidized pyrite veinlets and disseminations (< 1%). Core samples have been collected from both sulphide zones and shipped to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for multi-element analysis. Results will be announced by the Company following their receipt, compilation, and interpretation. Additional drilling at Coronado in 2019 will be dependent upon results from the 2018 drilling program.

About Coronado
Coronado currently consists of 234 located unpatented claims totaling approximately 4,680 acres (1,890 hectares) located over an interpreted trend adjacent to the historic Big Mike open pit copper mine ("Big Mike") that lies within the Middle Pennsylvanian to Late Permian-age Havallah volcanic-sedimentary sequence. Big Mike was discovered in the 1930s when a shallow, oxidized portion (gold-bearing gossan) of the deposit was located by prospectors. The area was explored further in the late 1960s by Cerro Corp. and a deeper (greater than 300 feet, or 91 meters) high-grade, massive sulphide lens was discovered by diamond drilling. The deposit was considered a supergene-enriched, Cyprus-type VMS occurrence.
In 1969, Cerro Corp. published a historical resource estimate of 634,000 tons grading 3.41% copper, which included 74,000 tons of massive sulphide ore grading 11.78% copper, and 380,000 tons of oxide and mixed ore grading 3.16% copper. This historical estimate, which is dated February 21, 1969, uses categories that are not consistent with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") and cannot be readily compared to NI 43-101 categories. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimate as a current resource and Nevada Sunrise is not treating the estimate as a current resource estimate. A portion of the ground on which this estimate was based was subsequently mined, and thus this estimate cannot be relied upon. The estimate is relevant to guiding the Company's exploration plans and provides geological information regarding the type of mineralization that could be present in the Coronado area.
In 1970, Ranchers Exploration and Development Company ("Ranchers") developed the high-grade portion of the deposit with an open pit mine that produced approximately 25 million pounds of copper in 100,000 tons of ore grading 10.5% copper, which was shipped directly to smelters in West Germany and Japan. Heap leaching of lower-grade disseminated copper ore was also carried out by Ranchers; approximately 300,000 tons of mineralized rock was treated. Historical sampling also shows the presence of cobalt at Big Mike, with values in the deposit ranging up to 2,500 parts per million (0.25%) cobalt (Rye et al, Economic Geology, Vol. 79, 1984). Big Mike was mined out in 1970.

Nevada Sunrise and Liberty Gold drill 5.42 g/t gold over 9.1 metres at Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Nevada
VANCOUVER, Aug. 2, 2018 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that the Company has received results of the 2018 drilling program at the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project ("Kinsley Mountain" or the "Project") from Liberty Gold Corp. ("Liberty Gold", formerly Pilot Gold Inc.) (TSX: LGD). Kinsley Mountain is located near the town of Wendover in eastern Nevada and is a joint venture between Liberty Gold and the Company, with Liberty Gold, as operator, holding a 79.1 percent interest and Nevada Sunrise, through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, holding a 20.9 percent interest.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/726171/Nevada_Sunrise_Gold_Corporation_Nevada_Sunrise_and_Liberty_Gold.jpg
2018 Drilling Program
The 2018 drilling program targeted possible extensions of the Western Flank deposit, which was discovered by Liberty Gold in 2014. Subsequent drilling has outlined a sulphide resource estimate, using multiple cut-offs1 of 284,000 Indicated ounces of gold grading 6.04 grams per tonne ("g/t") and 39,000 Inferred ounces grading 2.41 g/t gold (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated November 5, 2015). 1Cut-off grades assume an open-pit mining scenario, using a pit floor elevation generated using Whittle software, reasonable assumptions for mining and milling costs, and a US$1,300/ounce gold price.
A total of seven reverse circulation holes were started in the 2018 program, with five holes completed and two lost at shallow depths due to voids and fault zones encountered. Total meterage for the 2018 program was approximately 1,830 metres (6,005 feet). Highlights of the drilling were as follows:
PK228 intersected 5.42 g/t gold over 9.1 metres from 275.8 metres to 285.0 metres, including 7.77 g/t gold over 6.1 metres from 277.4 metres to 283.5 metres, at the Secret Canyon-Geddes contact, 50 metres east of 2017 hole PK221, which intersected 5.30 g/t over 29 metres. This new intercept in PK228 represents a significant step out in the Western Flank Zone ("WFZ") east extension exploration. Liberty Gold has recommended follow up in subsequent drill programs.
PK229 and PK229A were drilled to intersect the Secret Canyon shale beneath the Ridge Pit area. Both of these holes were cut short due to drilling problems related to voids and fault zones in the shallow units. However, these holes did provide valuable data in specific fault zone locations and mineralized breccia zones near the faults. Of note, PK229A returned 1.15 g/t gold over 15.2 metres from 91.4 metres to 106.7 metres, in brecciated Notch Peak and Hamburg Dolomite adjacent to the KNW fault zone. This is very encouraging for follow-up testing of the lower units in this vicinity, as it indicates strong hydrothermal fluid flow during the local mineralization event.
PK226 was the first hole of the program in the WFZ east extension area, targeted to test a modelled east-west trending zone between the WFZ and the historical PK200/PK215 intercepts about 170 metres east of the WFZ high-grade zone. This hole returned multiple mineralized intercepts, including 1.54 g/t gold over 6.1 metres from 135.6 metres to 141.7 metres in the Dunderberg Shale, and 0.77 g/t gold over 7.6 metres from 249.9 metres to 257.6 metres in the Secret Canyon Shale.
The first hole of the program, PK225 was drilled into the Anticline Target, an area with no previous drilling, to test the Secret Canyon Shale southeast of the Western Flank Zone and returned a lower-grade interval of 0.45 g/t gold over 1.5 metres in the shallow Notch Peak limestone. Hole PK227 was drilled to test the Secret Canyon-Geddes contact and returned a lower-grade interval in the Dunderberg Shale of 0.55 g/t gold over 6.1 metres from 141.7 metres to 147.8 metres. The last hole of the program, PK230, encountered voids and fault zones, but showed no significant results.
For maps showing the 2018 target areas and drill hole locations, please access Nevada Sunrise's website at: http://www.nevadasunrise.ca/projects/kinsley-mountain/
Drill composites were calculated using a minimum cut-off of 0.20 g/t gold. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals vary between 30 and 100 percent of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations, but are typically in the range of 60 to 80 percent of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.200 ppm an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed by AAS. Metallic screen techniques may be employed where the presence of coarse free gold is suspected. Approximately 1000 grams of coarse reject material are pulverized and screened. Two splits of the fine fraction are assayed, as well as all material that does not pass through the screen (the coarse fraction). The final gold assay reported is a weighted average of the coarse and fine fractions. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch.
