NEVGOLD ANNOUNCES MINERAL RESOURCE: ANTIMONY OF 29,600 TONNES MEASURED & INDICATED (0.26%) AND 48,100 TONNES INFERRED (0.18%); 100% OXIDE GOLD OF 181,400 OZS MEASURED & INDICATED AND 1,203,500 OZS INFERRED; STRATEGIC U.S. ANTIMONY RESOURCE

Nevgold’s maiden oxide gold-antimony resource at the Nevada project contains 181,000 ounces of gold and 29,600 tonnes of antimony measured and indicated resources.

Executive Summary

NevGold Corp. (NAU) released its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Limo Butte Project in Nevada, defining a strategic U.S. oxide gold-antimony resource. The MRE outlines two development scenarios based on 130,000 m of drilling through end-2025, using gold price US$3,000/oz and antimony US$35,000/t.

  • Base Case MRE (0.30 g/t AuEq cut-off): Total Measured & Indicated (M&I) of 15.2 Mt grading 0.37 g/t Au and 0.21% Sb, containing 181,400 oz Au and 31,800 tonnes Sb. Total Inferred of 117.5 Mt at 0.32 g/t Au and 0.09% Sb, containing 1,203,500 oz Au and 75,700 tonnes Sb.
  • Antimony-focused sub-domains (0.1% Sb cut-off within base case): M&I of 11.3 Mt at 0.36 g/t Au and 0.26% Sb (129,500 oz Au, 29,600 t Sb); Inferred of 26.9 Mt at 0.23 g/t Au and 0.18% Sb (196,100 oz Au, 48,100 t Sb).
  • Project Jumpstart Antimony (surface/mined material): 6,900 t Sb M&I at 0.28% Sb (2.3 Mt) and 500 t Sb Inferred at 0.99% Sb.
  • Higher-grade subsets (0.45 g/t Au or 0.25% Sb) show robust grade improvements.

A 20,000-m drill program is running in 2026 to expand the resource and test new targets, including the Bullet Zone and Armory Fault. Metallurgical testwork for the near-term antimony scenario is advancing, with PFS/PEA studies to follow.

Material Impact

Nevgold Corp. (NAU) released its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Limo Butte project in mid-July, meeting the company’s previously guided timeline for a Q2-Q3 2026 announcement. The release follows nearly 130,000 meters of drilling and high-grade intercepts up to 11.42 g/t AuEq, validating the substantial contained metal identified in the estimate.

The resource establishes Limo Butte as one of the largest antimony deposits in the U.S., defining a near-term production scenario known as Jumpstart Antimony that can be advanced to a pre-feasibility study (PFS). The M&I resource contains 181,400 oz of gold and 29,600 tonnes of antimony. Antimony is classified as a critical mineral with U.S. supply-chain priority. Potential revenues from the Jumpstart scenario, which includes 6,900 tonnes of M&I antimony at current prices of approximately US$35,000 per tonne, are considered meaningful relative to the company’s market capitalization of approximately C$314 million.

The MRE’s leach-pad component consists of 2.3 million tonnes at 0.28% Sb M&I, aligning with earlier pit-sampling estimates of 2.4-3.0 million tonnes grading approximately 0.30% Sb. The broader open-pit resource totals 15.2 million tonnes M&I, confirming multi-million-ounce gold potential in oxide material.

Prior to the news, Nevgold’s stock had risen from approximately $0.31 in July 2025 to $3.03 by late May 2026, before correcting to $1.87. The release is expected to be received positively as it validates the project’s story rather than introducing a surprise, though the project remains in the pre-feasibility stage.

Company Overview

NevGold Corp. is a junior explorer and developer focused on gold and antimony projects in Nevada and Idaho. Its flagship asset is the 100%-owned Limousine Butte oxide gold-antimony project in Nevada, a brownfield site with historical gold production of approximately 100,000 ounces and WWII-era antimony mining. The project features at-surface oxide mineralization amenable to heap-leach processing, with antimony recoveries up to 92% via acid leaching and gold recoveries exceeding 93% after antimony extraction.

Two development scenarios are being considered for Limousine Butte. The Jumpstart Antimony plan involves reprocessing approximately 2.5 million tonnes of historical crushed and run-of-mine leach pad material grading 0.30% antimony and 0.30 grams per tonne gold, targeting antimony production by 2027 or 2028. The Golden Bullet scenario envisions a larger open-pit, heap-leach operation on the broader resource at Resurrection Ridge, Cadillac Valley, and Northern Zones, with a potential production target of 2029 to 2030.

In Idaho, NevGold owns the Nutmeg Mountain oxide gold project, which reported a 2025 mineral resource estimate of 1.19 million ounces in the Indicated category and 0.55 million ounces in the Inferred category. A preliminary economic assessment is planned for 2026. The company also holds an early-stage porphyry-style copper target at Zeus Copper in Idaho.
