This news release follows on from the reporting in the fall of 2022
and outlines the plans for 2023 starting with a brief description
of the values created to date, and our strategy to augment and
capitalize on those values.

Value Proposition – the assets and the
team:
- 108 sq. km of highly prospective
mineral claims located within Nevada’s prolific Cortez gold trend.
Our flagship Red Hill property is on trend and adjacent to three
multi-million-ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez
Hills and Goldrush deposits).I
- C$ 45 million direct expenditures
(C$ 74 million in total including acquisition, etc., costs) and
counting of potential tax write offs.
- Uniquely structured and valuable
permits that authorize immediate utilization of significant
currently unused exploration surface disturbance acres with 44
preapproved Greater Sage-Grouse conservation credits.
- Highest quality “senior company”
level geological, legal, and accounting databases.
- Geo-team –numerous fellow geos and
mining execs have remarked that we have one of the best Carlin gold
exploration teams in NV - and it is still evolving*.
- Numerous geological indications
affirming that a large Carlin-type deposit is present at Red
Hill.
Your NUG geo-teams have contributed
significantly to the evolution of the understanding of Carlin
systems, remembering Carlin systems, unique to Nevada, have only
been established as a specific ‘geological’ category for some 50+
years. For the most part, these systems are owned by two large
corporations that are not particularly forthcoming with their
knowledge…though it must be said that the Barrick team has been
remarkably co-operative.
Augmenting the values: Our
Exploration Manager, Mr. Charles Weakly, has been commissioned,
together with the expanding NUG geological brain trust to
select 4, possibly five of the best holes to be drilled this
spring/summer (drilling scheduled to commence June 1,
2023) out of the 26 odd drill sites that Charles and his immediate
geo-crew have laboriously and hopefully inspirationally
selected.
The rigorous selection process is scheduled to
be completed by May 1 and is expected to ‘finally’ either make the
discovery, or at the very least, further narrow the field of
opportunity one more time.
With the cooperation of our drilling contractor
(Envirotech), our perennial logistical service provider (Legarza)
and our assay lab provider (American Assay Lab), our schedule
is:
- For drilling to commence a week
either side of June 1, 2023, and finish by July 15th, with a RC
drill rig capable of drilling to 2,000 plus feet with impunity. All
the previous deep drilling and consequent understanding of the
structural geology suggests any orebody/deposit should lie between
1,400 and 2,000 feet.
- To have the initial assays for gold
completed and in hand for reporting by August 15th.
Financing: The augmentation
drilling will need financing. At present we have Cdn $ ~2.0 million
in the treasury which is reserved for the survival of the company:
maintenance of its land position and minimal staffing and
professional fees for executing on the exit strategy - enrolling
one of the four or five currently identified and qualified
acquirors of the Red Hill property.
When appropriate we will announce and complete a
modest equity unit private placement. We expect such financing will
be at five cents or better for several reasons, including the fact
that five cent per share/unit is the minimum price allowed to issue
free-trading shares.
Endgame: Simultaneously we will
be working towards putting the company, or the property, in the
hands of one of the five identified suitable producing companies to
provide the new set of eyes and spend the money to finally discover
an ‘elephant sized’ Carlin-style gold deposit like its neighbours
to the northeast.
RECAP: Our expanding geo-team
is considered one of the best in Nevada and they are convinced a
large Carlin-type gold deposit is present - as are many in Nevada’s
geological community.
To date our success in locating where the
significant Carlin-type gold deposit/s are located on this 108
square km Red Hill property in the prolific Cortez trend of Nevada
has been disappointing …still no ‘elephant sized’ discovery.
Most of you are aware that finding a major
orebody (ranking in the world’s top 30) in anything less than
twenty years is considered an ‘over-night’
success…and we have been at it 13 years.
108 square kilometers: It is
estimated that Barrick’s giant Goldrush deposit, just 11 km to the
north-west of the Red Hill property, covers just ~65 hectares -
that would represent about .06% of Red Hill property’s 10,800
hectares! Even when keeping the discovery within the confines of
the Rift area of the Red Hill, 5 X 7 km, we are looking for the
‘eye in the needle in the haystack’…and when discovered, they are
very rich prizes.
To put it into perspective and illustrate how
good a job your team has done so far, consider this: Barrick (and
predecessor companies) drilled twelve hundred holes, and spent ~
US$ 459 million to discover and delineate the Goldrush’s 21 million
+++ ouncesII. We have spent ~ $45 million on direct property
expenditures so far. Goldrush History:

Location, location, location:
Location is the next best thing to grade…and the Red Hill property
lies just to the south-east and on-trend with
three of the world’s ten largest
and highest-grade gold mines.I

And if you glance to the right when facing
northwest…you can almost see the parallel Carlin trend which
contains another four of the world’s
thirty largest and highest-grade gold mines.

We recapped where we have been and where we are,
provided some sense of current values and the possibilities of
adding further value, (shareholders being willing to provide
additional funding), and have developed alternatives - vending the
property to/or merging the company with a willing producing
company.
To help facilitate and implement the above
strategies, NuLegacy has granted incentive stock options to certain
key employees, officers and consultants of the Company (but
excluding all executive and non-executive directors) to purchase up
to an aggregate of 9,500,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per
share exercisable for a period of three years, subject to vesting
requirements.
We acknowledge and appreciate the tremendous
support provided by investors to date and look forward to
continuing improvement of values.
Thanking you,

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
___________________________* “Success has many
fathers’…failure is an orphan”…at least twenty-six people have put
up their hand as contributing to the discovery of the Goldrush…and
no doubt they did…however after some diligent historical review
we’ve been able to identify the five or six that initially
‘sighted’ it…and NuLegacy has two already…and we are working on the
rest.
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 Currently structured as an underground mine Goldrush contains
circa 21.1 million ounces averaging ~ 7 grams/t distributed as
P&P: 7.8 M oz @ 7.29 g/t M&I*: 8.5 M oz @ 7.07 g/t Inf: 4.5
M oz @ 6.0 g/t end-of-year 2021.
