NEVADA KING INTERCEPTS 4.68 G/T AU OVER 7.3M AND 1.00 G/T AU OVER 26.8M NEAR SURFACE AND BOTTOMING IN MINERALIZATION AT EAST RIDGE TARGET

Nevada King reports shallow RAB gold intercepts east of the Atlanta pit, though true widths and qualified person verification remain pending in this early-stage exploration.

Executive Summary

Nevada King Gold Corp. (NKG) has announced results from a Rotary Air Blast (RAB) reconnaissance program conducted at the East Ridge Target, located immediately east of the existing Atlanta pit. The company plans to follow up with a deeper Reverse Circulation (RC) rig, contingent on receiving Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approval for additional sites.

The RAB program tested early-stage targets down to a maximum depth of 30 meters. The release characterizes the findings as high-grade, near-surface intercepts that validate a structural model and suggest the potential to convert waste to mineralization within a future pit shell. No true widths or cutoff grades were reported.

Key intercepts from the program include:

  • AT26ERB-16: 4.68 g/t Au over 7.3 m starting at 21.9 m depth
  • AT26ERB-42: 1.00 g/t Au over 26.8 m from 2.4 m
  • AT26ERB-18: 0.75 g/t Au over 26.8 m from surface

Both AT26ERB-16 and AT26ERB-42 bottomed in mineralization, meaning the holes ended in economic-grade material.

Material Impact

Nevada King Gold Corp. (NKG) reported drill results from the East Ridge target, which lies immediately outside the current pit-constrained resource. While positive results in this area could theoretically extend the pit shell and add contained ounces, the intercepts reported are too early-stage and too shallow to alter the resource base materially.

The company’s existing resource stands at 1.02 moz M&I; these three RAB holes represent less than 100 m of drilling to a maximum depth of 30 m. Even if the entire 7.3 m of 4.68 g/t Au were continuous across a 100 m strike, the contained gold would be negligible relative to the resource.

The market has been in a downtrend since March 2026, with the stock trading at C$0.70—near the lower end of its 52-week range. The chart suggests that prior drill results from multiple targets (Silver Park East, South, North) failed to sustain price momentum; a modest RAB hit at a new target is unlikely to change that.

Nevada King is an explorer with no revenue and a going-concern warning. New discovery holes can be material if they are truly tier-one; these are not.

Company Overview

Nevada King Gold Corp. is an exploration and pre-development company focused on the 100%-owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project in Lincoln County, Nevada. The property covers 130 km² and contains a past-producing open pit that recovered 110 koz Au between 1975 and 1985. Since 2021, the company has drilled more than 130,000 m to advance the deposit.

An NI 43-101 resource statement effective in September 2024 reports Measured and Indicated resources of 27.7 Mt at 1.14 g/t Au for 1.02 moz, and Inferred resources of 3.6 Mt at 0.84 g/t Au for 99 koz. The resource is 91% oxide. Metallurgy confirms conventional heap-leach suitability for non-silicified volcanics, for which a simplified flowsheet is proposed.

Phase IV drilling, comprising 40,000 m and fully funded, is underway targeting Silver Park East, Atlanta South, Atlanta North, Western Rim, and East Ridge.

The company has approximately 100.4M shares outstanding post-consolidation, with a market cap of approximately C$70M. Centerra Gold holds 9.9% of the company, while insiders own approximately 37%. Nevada King Gold Corp. has zero revenue and reported a FY2026 net loss of C$10.4M. Working capital stood at C$4.5M at March 31, 2026. The MD&A flags material uncertainty regarding going concern, noting the company will need additional financing.
