Description of Business

NV Gold Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia on May 23, 2007. The Company's principal business activity is the identification, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the United States and Switzerland. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") in Canada under the symbol NVX and the OTC and OTCQB Markets in the United States under the symbol NVGLF. On June 1, 2021, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the symbol 8NV.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, NV Gold Corporation (USA) Inc. ("NV Gold USA") and SwissGold Exploration AG ("SwissGold"). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company is in the business of exploring and developing its mineral properties in the United States and Switzerland and has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the mineral property and upon future profitable production.

Mineral Properties

Slumber Gold Project, Nevada, USA

On May 30, 2019 the Company announced that it executed a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Tim Percival and Darryl Killian (the "Vendors"), providing the Company the right to enter into a Lease Agreement to lease an undivided 100% right, title and interest in the Slumber Gold Project ("Slumber") in Nevada.

Slumber occurs along an intra-mountain graben in the Jackson Mountains approximately 50 miles northwest of Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada and is approximately 21 miles west of the Sleeper bonanza epithermal vein gold deposit. Slumber is one of several high-level epithermal gold systems on a trend from the Jackson Mountains, through the Bilk Creek Mountains and continuing north into Oregon. These deposits, along with the Sleeper, Sulphur-Hycroft, Goldbanks, Blue Mountain, Sandman, and other precious metals deposits located along the western splays and associated fault-fracture zones of the mid-Miocene (Tertiary) Northern Nevada Rift, define an important epithermal province in northwestern Nevada.

For additional historical details on Slumber, refer to the May 30, 2019 news release.

On July 29, 2019, the Company formalized the LOI and entered into a Mining Lease and Surface Use Agreement ("Lease") with the Vendors. The company is subject to incur minimum annual work commitments as follows:

1

US$25,000

First anniversary date (incurred)

US$50,000

Second anniversary date (incurred)

US$75,000

Third anniversary date

US$75,000

Fourth anniversary date

US$100,000

Fifth and each anniversary date thereafter

The Company is also required to make Advance Minimum Royalty Payments to the Vendors until production of minerals is achieved as follows:

Fifth anniversary date and annually thereafter as long as the Lease remains in effect

Sandy Gold Project, Nevada, USA

The Company acquired 100% control of the Sandy Gold Project ("Sandy"), located in Lyon County, Nevada, by staking available ground over and around the gold project. The property was identified by reviewing the Company's 100% owned geological database purchased from vendors in prior years. The Project shows widespread alteration and mineralization hosted by Tertiary volcanic rocks. Alteration mostly occurs as argillization of the host volcanic units, closely associated with iron oxides. Mineralization is most obviously expressed as several types of veins, including banded epithermal veins with chalcedonic to finely crystalline quartz, with varying amounts of calcite and adularia, and local barite. Coarse-grained calcite veins are also present. The Project was originally explored in 1993-1994, which included geologic mapping, rock-chip and soil sampling, and drilling. Rock-chip assay and geochemistry values of 1.5 ppm Au, 7937 ppm As, 240 ppm Sb, and 31 ppm Hg. Seventeen holes were drilled, where the strongest values were identified to be found in the altered zones and in vein systems.

Nevada Properties, Nevada, USA

On September 29, 2016 the Company completed its acquisition of the Nevada assets of Redstar Gold Corp. ("Redstar"). These assets consist of a 100% interest in 11 exploration projects (the "Projects") in Nevada, 4 of which are subject to NSRs, as well as the AngloGold-Ashanti database (the "Database") purchased by Redstar in 2008.

The Company acquired the Database and the 11 Nevada projects by issuing to Redstar a total of 6,172,730 common shares of the Company, including 172,730 shares to comply with the anti-dilution provision of the Purchase Agreement, resulting in Redstar owning 29.9% of the Company's outstanding common shares upon completion of the transaction. The common shares were valued at $2,160,455. Of this value, $1,692,357 ($342,072 allocated to the Cooks Creek Project) was recognized as exploration and evaluation assets acquisition costs and $468,098 was recognized as geological database expense and charged to operations during the year ended August 31, 2017.

The Nevada Properties are currently comprised of the following projects:

Mineral Property Updates

Slumber Gold Project, Nevada, USA

The Q4-2021 drill program at Slumber has currently completed five RC (reverse circulation) drill holes totaling approximately 900 meters. The goal of this program is the confirmation of a reinterpreted geological model and correlation of alteration and possible gold mineralization with a low resistivity zone identified by last year's CSAMT work (see press release September 7th, 2021). The initial holes appear to confirm this previously untested concept.

These initial holes have been visually encouraging, extending the zone of alteration by at least 500 meters to the north, while now demonstrating significant thickness as well (+150 m). All holes into the resistor zone have encountered highly- brecciated, silicified, hematitic rocks that remained in strong alteration at termination. Abundant groundwater has continued to be a depth-limiting factor for the RC equipment; therefore, the Company will limit the balance of this program to testing remaining shallower resistivity zones. Follow-up drilling will be dependent upon core rig availability. Initial analytical results from this program are expected to be received in late January 2022, depending upon laboratory constraints related to COVID-19 and staffing.
