TSX Venture Exchange: NEV

VANCOUVER, June 23, 2017 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) wishes to update its shareholders on the drilling program recently completed on the Roulette Gold Project ("Roulette") located in White Pine County, Nevada, USA.

2017 Roulette Drilling Program

The 2017 drilling program at Roulette consisted of four reverse circulation holes totaling approximately 3,480 feet (1,060 metres). Three of the drill holes tested targets chosen from geophysical and/or geochemical surveys carried out by Nevada Sunrise. The first three holes did not encounter significant gold mineralization. A fourth hole was subsequently planned and permitted, targeting the possible depth extent of the Parlay mineralized jasperoid, whereoutcrop sampling in 2014 by the Company returned 4.44 grams/tonne gold over 3.33 metres (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated November 17, 2014). The fourth drill hole did not encounter any significant gold mineralization.

Consequently, the Company has terminated the option-to-purchase agreement for Roulette.
