Nevada Exploration Inc. (“NGE” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:NGE;
OTCQB:NVDEF) is pleased to announce that it has resumed its Phase 3
drilling program at its South Grass Valley Carlin-type gold project
under its previously announced strategic partnership with
Nevada-based Drill NV Inc. (“Drill NV”). NGE’s objective for its
Phase 3 program is to test for gold mineralization at its East
Golden Gorge target, as defined by its drilling, geophysics, and
geochemistry programs to date. The Company’s partnership with Drill
NV is based on a fixed all-inclusive footage rate, chargeable only
for dill holes completed to target depth, for which the Company may
elect to pay Drill NV up to 25% in the form of NGE common shares.
Discussing the program, NGE President, James
Buskard: “In the next couple of weeks we expect the new core to
start arriving at our logging facility, which is exciting. While it
has taken longer to resume the program than we had anticipated, by
waiting to find the right drilling partner, and now specifically by
entering this strategic partnership, we believe we have
significantly derisked our program. Under our agreement, Drill NV
has agreed to shoulder the technical and execution risk of getting
the holes to target depth, giving us both cost and depth certainty
at a time when similar programs across Nevada are experiencing low
rates of hole completion. With Drill NV responsible for all aspects
of drilling, our team will be focusing on where we add maximum
value: on the geology.
“During the pause in drilling, we integrated the
new information from our most recent drill hole (SGVC012), as well
as new trace-elements geochemistry data from our first eight core
holes - which we re-assayed to provide a complete and consistent
dataset across the project. Together this new information has
allowed us to carefully review the logging of all our holes to
date, including importantly fine tuning the locations of the
contacts between major bedrock units and other features,
specifically to update our understanding of the structural geology
across the project.
“Having discovered this large new Carlin-type
mineral system, and having confirmed that it has hosted large
volumes of gold-bearing Carlin-type hydrothermal fluids, with this
current drill program we are tasked with targeting potential traps
that could have forced the gold out of the fluids and into the
surrounding favourable host rocks. In Carlin-type systems these
traps are often structural, such as thrust faults and anticlinal
folds, and so leveraging our latest data to improve our
interpretation of the structural geology is very important. Over
the coming weeks and months, we look forward to sharing the outputs
from this work in the form of updated cross sections within our
VRIFY model for all of our stakeholders to review together with our
other datasets.“
With drilling now underway at drill site
SGVC013, the Company plans to continue with its approximately
monthly updates to provide information on hole locations, metres
drilled, preliminary geologic observations, and how each relate to
its East Golden Gorge target concept. Depending on the
timelines associated with drilling rates, processing and logging
core, receiving assays, and integrating the resulting data into the
Company’s geologic model, NGE expects to release drilling results
in batches that likely include multiple drill holes.
To review the results to date and NGE’s plans to
advance its East Golden Gorge target at South Grass Valley, the
Company encourages its stakeholders to visit the interactive 3D
VRIFY model prepared for its recent September 15, 2021, news
release, available at:

NGE also encourages its stakeholders to
subscribe to one or more of its social medial channels to follow
along as its team shares photos from the field and its core logging
facility, as well as to sign up to its email list to receive the

About Nevada Exploration Inc.
With mature, exposed search spaces seeing
falling discovery rates, NGE believes the future of exploration is
under cover. Nevada’s exposed terrains have produced more than 200
million ounces of gold, and experts agree there is likely another
200 million ounces waiting to be discovered in the half of Nevada
where the bedrock is hidden beneath post-mineral cover. NGE has
spent more than 15 years developing and integrating new
hydrogeochemistry (groundwater chemistry) and low-cost drilling
technology to build an industry-leading, geochemistry-focused
toolkit specifically to explore for new gold deposits under cover,
and the Company is now advancing a portfolio of projects totalling
more than 180 square kilometres.
NGE’s most advanced project is South Grass
Valley, located approximately 50 kilometres south-southwest of the
Cortez complex, operated by Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick Gold Corp.
and Newmont Corporation joint venture), within the specific region
of north-central Nevada that hosts Nevada’s largest Carlin-type
gold deposits (“CTGDs”). Since acquiring the project, NGE has
completed: an infill borehole groundwater sampling program,
detailed air magnetic and gravity geophysics surveys, a soil
geochemistry sampling program, an initial diamond core drilling
program consisting of 10 stratigraphic orientation holes, and a
follow-up reverse-circulation drilling program consisting of 17
holes to increase the density of its bedrock sampling.
Based on the results of its combined exploration
datasets, NGE believes it has discovered a mineral system at South
Grass Valley with the architecture and scale to potentially support
multiple CTGDs. As the Company continues to advance the project,
per NI 43-101, 2.3(2), the Company must remind its stakeholders
that the project remains an exploration target for which the
potential quantity and grade of any mineral resource is still
conceptual in nature, and that it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resource.
