VANCOUVER, BC, July 22,
2024 /CNW/ - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV:
NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) ("Nevada King" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that the Nevada King shareholders
("Shareholders") have approved the previously announced plan
of arrangement (the "Arrangement") whereby all of the
Company's concessions and properties with the exception of the
Atlanta Gold Mine Project ("Atlanta") will be spun out to Nevada King
shareholders (the "Spin-Out") through a subsidiary of the
Company ("SpinCo"). In connection with the Spin-Out,
Nevada King will also grant to SpinCo a 3.0% net smelter return
royalty on all gold and silver production from Atlanta including the Atlanta resource area and non-core claims
surrounding the Atlanta Gold Mine Project.
Nevada King is also pleased to announce that SpinCo will be
named "NV King Goldlands Inc." The name NV King Goldlands
Inc. draws inspiration from the over 193,000 acre mineral claim
package (9,682 claims) along the Battle Mountain Trend that will be
transferred to Spinco. Spinco was previously named 1485414 B.C. Ltd. and is an existing wholly owned
subsidiary of Nevada King.
At the meeting of Shareholders held today, the special
resolution approving the Arrangement was approved by 96.30% of the
votes cast by Shareholders. All of the other matters considered at
the meeting were also approved in accordance with management's
recommendations.
The Spin-Out will provide investors with an ownership stake in
two separate specialized companies. Nevada King will continue to
focus exclusively on the advancement of the Atlanta Gold Mine
Project, while SpinCo will focus on advancing its foothold as the
third largest mineral claim holder in the State of Nevada, behind Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick/Newmont) and
Kinross Gold. SpinCo will control
over 193,000 acres (9,682 claims) along the Battle Mountain Trend
with key project areas hosting significant historical exploration
work and possessing untested discovery potential. These project
areas include Iron Point, Buffalo Valley, Lewis, Horse
Mountain-Mill Creek, Hilltop South, Carico
Lake, Kobeh Valley, and Pancake South.
Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to approval of the
Supreme Court of British Columbia
and certain other customary closing conditions. The application for
the final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia is scheduled for July 25, 2024. Assuming that all conditions to
closing of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement
is expected to become effective on or about August 1, 2024.
After closing of the Arrangement, Nevada King shares continue
trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") in Canada under the symbols NKG, and on the OTC
Markets in the United States under
the symbol NKGFF. Spinco shares will not be listed on any stock
exchange after closing of the Arrangement, but the company will be
a reporting issuer and will comply with its continuous disclosure
obligations including press releases and financial reporting.
Additional information regarding the terms of the Arrangement,
including a summary of the terms and conditions of the arrangement
agreement, is set out in the Company's information circular dated
June 14, 2024, which is filed under
Nevada King's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
About Nevada King Gold Corp.
Nevada King is the third largest mineral claim holder in the

Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick/Newmont)
and Kinross Gold. Starting in 2016
the Company has staked large project areas hosting significant
historical exploration work along the Battle Mountain trend located close to current
or former producing gold mines. These project areas were initially
targeted based on their potential for hosting multi-million ounce

geological evaluation. District-scale projects in Nevada King's portfolio include (1) the 100%

Ely, (2) the Lewis and Horse
Mountain-Mill Creek projects, both located between Nevada Gold Mines' large Phoenix and Pipeline mines, and (3) the Iron
Point project, located 35km east of Winnemucca, Nevada.
