Nevada Sunrise Provides Exploration Update for the Gemini Lithium Project and the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project, Nevada

TSXV: NEV

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 22, 2022 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise", or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to provide an update on 2022 activities for two of its Nevada mineral exploration projects: the Gemini Lithium Project and the Kinsley Mountain Gold Project.

Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini")

Nevada Sunrise owns a 100% interest in Gemini, which is located in the Lida Valley basin in Esmeralda County, Nevada.   The Company, through its Nevada subsidiary, has executed a drilling contract with O'Keefe Drilling Company of Butte, Montana, for up to 3,500 feet (1,067 metres) of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling on untested geophysical anomalies identified by ground gravity and electromagnetic surveys.  The exploration objectives for the Gemini West target are twofold: testing the conductive zone for lithium brines at depth and analyzing for lithium-in-sediment, which has never been tested in the western Lida Valley. Drilling is planned to begin in the second week of March 2022.

About Gemini

Gemini consists of 13 unpatented placer claims totaling 260 acres (105 hectares) located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, approximately 6 miles (10 kilometres) east of the town of Lida, Nevada. Gemini is situated adjacent to the Gold Point Solar Energy Zone, a Bureau of Land Management land reserve set aside for solar and wind power generation projects until 2033. Drill pads and access roads are in place at Gemini with an active drilling permit, and the claims are in good standing until September 1, 2022.

The Lida Valley is a flat, arid basin with a similar geological setting to the better-known Clayton Valley basin where Albermarle Corporation operates the Silver Peak lithium brine mine, which has operated continuously since 1966. Exploration at Gemini is complemented by the Company's 80.09 acre/feet/year water right, a pre-requisite for the exploration and development of lithium brine projects in Nevada. Under State of Nevada law, water cannot be pumped from a subterranean source without a valid water permit.

Kinsley Mountain Gold Project ("Kinsley Mountain")

Nevada Sunrise also announces that its joint venture partner, New Placer Dome Gold Corp. ("New Placer Dome") (TSXV: NGLD) reports that IP/resistivity surveying is ongoing at Kinsley Mountain, currently targeting the under-explored Kinsley North Range. Five survey lines totaling 15.9 line kilometres have been completed at Kinsley North with an additional nine lines totaling 29.7 line kilometres planned.

Highlights of New Kinsley North Range IP/Resistivity Targets

• 2021-2022 IP/resistivity surveys expanded 6.5 kilometres north of the high-grade gold Western Flank Zone to test underexplored Kinsley North Range targets (see Figure 1).
• Chargeability breaks indicative of significant displacement and arsenic ± antimony in soil anomalies associated with property-scale northwest-trending fault structures analogous to those host significant gold resources along the Kinsley NW fault.
• Chargeability/resistivity breaks and broad arsenic ± antimony in soil anomalies associated with northeast to northwest-trending block faulting exposing prospective lower Pogonip Group carbonate rocks.
• Chargeability highs are associated with mapped jasperoid and arsenic-antimony in soil anomaly along north-trending fault structure in the centre of the range.
• Nine Kinsley North IP/resistivity lines are planned to cover a significant strike length of block faulted Pogonip Group and upper Notch Peak Formation rocks on the east side of the Kinsley Range.

Methodology and QA/QC

A total of 14 lines totalling approximately 50.9 line kilometres were completed to mid-February during the 2021-2022 Kinsley Mountain geophysical program. The lines are spaced 150 to 1,000 metres apart, with line lengths ranging from approximately 2.5 to 4.0 kilometres. Data were collected using the Direct Current Resistivity, Induced Polarization ("DCIP") method, on a 16-channel pole-dipole array with a dipole size (a-spacing) of 100 metres. A GDD GRx16 receiver and GDD 5000W-2400V-20A IP Tx model Tx4 transmitter was used. Raw data were loaded into GDD IP Post-Process software and Geosoft Oasis Montaj software for quality control and review. The reviewed data were used to produce pseudo section plots of apparent resistivity and apparent chargeability and were the input for the inversion. Inversions were completed using the UBC-GIF DCIP2D inversion codes. Each line of data was inverted independently. The resistivity and IP inversion is a two-step process. The resistivity inversion is run first, and this model is used in the chargeability inversion. Multiple inversions were completed for quality control.
