Nevada King Gold Corp. announced assay results from five reverse circulation ("RC") holes located along an updated Section 22-8N(3), initially released February 1, 2023 and updated October 30, 2023, that were recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. Two of today's holes were angle holes that were sited to follow up on the very high-grade intercept of 6.55 g/t Au and 100.8 g/t Ag over 82.3m, including 26.71 g/t Au over 12.2m encountered in angle hole AT23NS-133F, which represents the third most gold rich intercept so far recorded at Atlanta (released November 14, 2023).

Today's two follow up holes successfully crossed the same high-grade structure, intercepting 6.9 g/t Au and 93.7 g/t Ag over 68.6m including 19.2 g/t Au over 10.7m in AT23NS-174 and 4.9 g/t Au and 75.0 g/t Ag over 77.7m including19.35 g/t Au over 3.0m in AT23NS-174A. Collectively, these three steeply dipping angle holes define a high-angle west-dipping high-grade vein-like structure hosted within the hanging wall of the West Atlanta Fault. High grade (>5 g/t Au) mineralization occurs within a hydrothermal breccia zone 5m to 8m thick that cuts up through a 50m-wide rhyolite to quartz latite composition dike sandwiched between the West Atlanta and West Atlanta #1 Faults.

Very high-grade mineralization (>20 g/t Au) is concentrated along the contact between the breccia and intrusive within a boiling zone that coincides with a sharp upward inflection in the contact's dip. There appears to be about 30m of vertical extent to this very high-grade zone that is characterized by a very vuggy, strongly silicified heterolithic breccia infilled by iron oxides, clay, and barite. Lower grade mineralization spreads out laterally from the high-grade feeder zone into adjacent dike and felsic tuff hosts, as indicated by intercepts plotted around this high-grade zone (see Figure 3).

also see the high-grade zone flattening westward in Figure 2 where it was encountered in previously released holes AT23NS-53 (11.12 g/t Au over 12.2m, released February 1, 2023) and AT22HG-20 (10.09 g/t Au over 6.1m, released February 1, 2023). This high-grade "tail" that flattens at depth away from the very high-grade zone is seen in numerous holes throughout the Atlanta deposit and may be the best guide for vectoring into additional concentrations of high-grade mineralization. For the first time, Nevada King now has direct confirmation of a high-angle feeder structure, which in itself strongly supports the Company's new geological model for the mineralization at Atlanta.

In terms of size, shape, and depth, the Company will now use this new understanding of high-angle, high-grade feeders to more confidently pursue potential high-grade zones hosted elsewhere throughout the deposit, looking for combinations of high-grade intercepts most likely to vector into discreet areas where close-spaced drilling may encounter and define additional high-grade bodies possessing potential for significantly upgrading these various portions of the resource zone. As shown on Figure 3, two other prospective feeder zones are outlined in blue to the southeast and east of AT23NS-174. Angle hole AT23NS-131C (4.91 g/t Au over 39.6m, released January 9, 2024) and vertical hole AT22NS-68 (4.03 g/t Au over 29m including 10.03 g/t Au over 3m, released January 6, 2023) are considerably higher grade than the surrounding holes, so now suspect there is another feeder structure in close proximity to these holes.

In similar manner, vertical hole AT21-63 (3.95 g/t Au over 41.2m includes 9.23 g/t Au over 9.1m, released January 20, 2022) and angle hole AT22NS-61A (2.23 g/t Au over 51.8m includes 5.95 g/t Au over 4.6m near top of intercept, released October 18, 2022) also exhibit evidence of proximity to a high-grade feeder along the East Atlanta Fault. The three vertical holes released tested and successfully filled in gaps in the current drill pattern along the footwall side of the WAF (Figure 1) and intercepted 1.93 g/t Au over 50.3m, 3.44 g/t Au over 36.6m, and 1.25 g/t Au over 27.4. All RC samples from the Atlanta Project are split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a nominal 2kg sample weight. CRF standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning all three inserts are included in each 20-sample group.

Samples are shipped by a local contractor in large sample shipping crates directly to American Assay Lab in Reno, Nevada, with full custody being maintained at all times. At American Assay Lab, samples were weighted then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order to produce a 300g pulverized split. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion process and conventional mutli-element ICP-OES analysis.

Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish. The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.
