Summary of Drilling to Date:
- Eight widely spaced (0.5 to +1 km) holes have been completed (RA21-01 through -04, -06, -08, -10 and -13) with the core tail of a ninth hole (RA21-05) underway.
- Assays have been received for RA21-01, -02 and -03. Intervals of anomalous gold values are summarized below:
- RA21-01:
- 335.3-547.1 (211.8) meters, numerous intervals reporting between 10-50 ppb Au
- RA21-02:
- 211.8-413.3 (201.5) meters, numerous intervals reporting between 10-50 ppb Au
- 685.8-880.0 (194.2) meters, numerous intervals reporting between 10-60 ppb Au
- 950.2-1100.9 (150.7) meters, numerous intervals reporting between 10-410 ppb Au
- RA21-03:
- 236.2-551.7 (315.5) meters: numerous intervals reporting between 10-130 ppb Au
- 1133.9-1175.8 (41.9 at end of hole) meters: numerous intervals run between 10-90 ppb Au
- RA21-01:
- Although no economic gold grades were encountered in these three holes, very long intervals of anomalous gold indicate the presence of a large hydrothermal system within the target area. Alteration typical of
Carlin type gold systems is present in conjunction with these anomalous gold intervals. - To date, anomalous gold values have been encountered in the Wenban,
Roberts Mountains andHanson Creek formations, all of which are host rocks to multiple large gold deposits in the region. Thick sections of these prospective hosts rocks have been encountered in each of the first three 2021 drill holes. - Holes RA21-01, 02 and 03 are the deepest holes drilled to date in the Rift Anticline at 958.1, 1211.3 and 1175.8 m, respectively.
- Holes RA21-04, -06 and -08 have been logged, split, and submitted for assaying. Holes RA21-10 and -13 are in the process of being logged and split for submission.

Summary: As detailed in our news release dated
Due to slow assay turn around, NuLegacy plans to pause its drill program after completion of hole RA21-05, currently in progress, so that gold assays and the multi-element analytic results can be returned and reviewed. Further drilling will be guided by modeling of the vectors generated by these results.
Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance: All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s project geologists and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility,
On trend:
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 As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports. As reported by Barrick, the Goldrush resource contains 8,557,000 indicated ounces of gold within 25.78 million tonnes grading ~10.57 g/t and 1,650,000 inferred ounces within 5.6 million tonnes grading ~9.0 g/t.
