Nevada King Gold Corp. announced assay results from seven reverse circulation (?RC?) holes recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. AT23NS-131C intercepted high-grade gold/silver mineralization along the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone (?AMFZ?) at the southwest end of the historical pit with 4.91 g/t Au over 39.6m.

Nearby angle holes AT23-NS133A, B, and D, also targeted this gap in drilling and together with AT23NS-131C demonstrate good lateral continuity of mineralization, with grades ranging from 2.25 g/t Au to 4.91 g/t Au and 23.3 g/t Ag to 41.4 g/t Ag, and true thicknesses ranging from 20m to 34m. AT23WS-47, AT23WS-48, and AT23HG-38 were collared evenly across the 150m-wide West Atlanta Graben Zone (?WAGZ?) to fill in gaps in the drill pattern as well as to check previous holes that had not fully penetrated the mineralized zone. AT23HG-38 fully penetrated the mineralized zone and returned 114.3m grading 1.43 g/t Au, while a previously released nearby hole AT23HG-5 bottomed in mineralization and returned 93m grading 1.14 g/t. This deeper drilling in AT23HG-38 reveals significantly stronger grade and thickness compared to the earlier drilling.

A very similar relationship is seen between previously released AT23WS-36 (93m @ 0.54 g/t Au from 242m to 335m) and historical hole AR-21 (64m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 241m to 305m). Here again, deeper drilling intersected thicker and higher grade material. AT23WS-48 was collared on the east side of the West Atlanta Fault #2 (?WAF2?), which bounds the western side of the WAGZ, and intercepted 138.7m of 0.32 g/t Au.

Two historic holes that were collared nearby intersected the mineralized bed approximately 15-20m further west and closer to the WAF2, returning higher grades including 0.82 g/t Au over 76.2m in AR-19 and 1.11 g/t Au over 68m in DHRI-11-6C. These results further demonstrate that higher- grade mineralization occurs proximate to high-angle faults such as the WAF2. Additional drilling is required west of the WAF2, where mineralization remains open.
