VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NV Gold Corporation (NVX.V) (OTC Pink:NVGLF) (“NV Gold” or the “Company”) is announcing its plans to carry out a reverse-circulation, rotary drill program on the Company’s 100% owned Frazier Dome gold project located in Nye County, Nevada. The 8-10 hole, 1,500 m drill program, estimated at a cost of $200,000 USD, is expected to commence in early August and should be completed by the end of September.
John Watson commented "Drilling will be focused on altered and mineralized fracture sets comprising multiple joints, faults, and veins. Two main fracture sets are recognized on the property, with widely spaced surface samples ranging upward to 6.1 g/t and 11.2 g/t Au (NV Gold samples) and 14.7 g/t Au (historic samples). Surface grades are corroborated by several shallow (<150-meter) drill holes with intervals up to 7.5 g/t Au over 3 meters.
The Frazier Dome property is located in the Walker Lane mineralized zone approximately 8 kilometers north of Tonopah in Nye County.
Exploration activities at the Frazier Dome Gold project are being conducted under the supervision of Dr. Marcus Johnston, P.Geo., Exploration Manager of NV Gold. Assays will be performed by ALS Chemex (Reno, Nevada and Vancouver, BC, Canada). The data verification procedures and QA/QC procedures for the program will include inserting certified standards and blanks into the sample stream. Rig duplicates will also be collected.
The Company also announces that it has entered into consulting agreements with each of Ben Kramer-Miller and Dr. Marcus Johnston to provide services to the Company as Manager, Corporate Development, and Manager, Exploration, respectively.
