November 4, 2019, Vancouver, British Columbia - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation (“Nevada Sunrise” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project (“Kinsley Mountain” or the “Project”), located near Wendover in eastern Nevada, USA. Kinsley Mountain is a joint venture between Liberty Gold Inc. (“Liberty Gold”, formerly Pilot Gold Inc.) (TSX: LGD) and the Company, with Liberty Gold holding a 79.1 percent interest, and Nevada Sunrise, through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, holding a 20.9 percent interest.
2019 Drilling at Kinsley Mountain
Nevada Sunrise and Liberty Gold have approved the 2019 budget for Kinsley Mountain at US$590,000, which includes administrative and holding costs. The 2019 drilling program is planned to consist of approximately 1,600 metres (5,250 feet) of reverse circulation drilling in five to six holes. Drill holes will target the eastward extension of the Western Flank high-grade sulphide resource that includes 284,000 Indicated ounces at an average grade of 6.04 grams/tonne gold (see gold resource estimate described below). Two other targets in the Central Kinsley Trend and Racetrack area are also scheduled to be tested.

About Kinsley Mountain
Kinsley Mountain is located approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Wendover, Nevada, and consists of 513 unpatented lode claims on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land plus 5 leased patents totaling 4,189 hectares (10,451 acres). Kinsley Mountain hosts near-surface mineralization similar to other Carlin-style, sediment-hosted gold systems, and hosts a past-producing mine with an extensive exploration database and numerous untested gold targets.
Liberty Gold, as operator, discovered the Western Flank deposit in 2013 hosted by the Secret Canyon Shale and outlined a sulphide resource estimate, using multiple cut-offs1, of 284,000 Indicated ounces of gold grading 6.04 grams per tonne (“g/t”) and 39,000 Inferred ounces grading 2.41 g/t gold.
1 Cut-off grades assume an open-pit mining scenario, using a pit floor elevation generated using Whittle software, reasonable assumptions for mining and milling costs, and a US$1,300/ounce gold price.
