NUG Nulegacy Gold Corporation

NuLegacy Gold Corporation has suspended the summer-fall 2022 drilling program on its 100% controlled 108 sq. km. flagship Red Hill exploration property located in the prolific Cortez gold trend of north-central Nevada, directly adjacent to, and on trend with, three of Barrick Gold’s six top Tier 1 mines.I

“We are suspending drilling after completing four of six planned holes pending assays for these completed holes and an improved financing environment,” commented CEO Albert Matter.

The Phase 1 Serena Extension drilling was designed to ‘fill in’ several 100-meter ‘gaps’ in the Serena-North zone, particularly to determine if the highest grade on the property to date (16.9 grams gold/ton over 8.7 meters – Serena 18-02 – see news release dated Aug 27, 2018) has continuity to the west along the Long fault.

The Mid Rift target is within an apparent uplifted corridor of Paleozoic rocks (similar to Goldrush) defined by CSAMT geophysics that correlates directly with a 150-meter-wide zone of north-northwest trending, steep dipping faults which are parallel to the Iceberg fault, and anticipated to be a steep feeder fault for gold mineralization.

The Company expects to report initial assay results from these four holes in the coming weeks.

NuLegacy Gold is focused on confirming potential high-grade Carlin-style gold deposits within its flagship 108 sq. km (42 sq. mile) district scale Red Hill Property in the Cortez gold trend of Nevada. The targets are on trend and adjacentI to three, multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) which are ranked amongst the world’s thirty largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold mines and are three of Nevada Gold Mines’ most profitable mines.II

I The similarity and proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend including Goldrush are not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in NuLegacy’s Red Hill Property.

II As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports. As reported by Barrick, the Goldrush resource contains 8,557,000 indicated ounces of gold within 25.78 million tonnes grading ~10.57 g/t and 1,650,000 inferred ounces within 5.6 million tonnes grading ~9.0 g/t.

Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking information and statements are neither promises nor guarantees, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, actual results of exploration activities, unanticipated geological, stratigraphic and structural formations, environmental risks, operating risks, accidents, labor issues, delays in obtaining governmental approvals and permits, delays in receipt of assay results from third party laboratories, the availability of financing, market conditions, inflation, future prices for gold, changes in personnel and other risks in the mining industry. There are no assurances that the Company will successfully complete the Phase 1 drilling (or future phases) on the Red Hill Property as currently contemplated or at all. Furthermore, there are no known mineral resources or reserves in the Red Hill Property, any proposed exploration programs are exploratory searches for bodies of ore and the presence of gold resources on properties adjacent or near the Red Hill Property including Goldrush is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization on the Red Hill Property. There is also uncertainty about the continued spread of COVID-19, the ongoing war in Ukraine and rising inflation and interest rates and the impact they will have on the NuLegacy’s operations, personnel, supply chains, ability to raise capital, access properties or procure exploration equipment, contractors and other personnel on a timely basis or at all and economic activity in general.
