NV Gold Provides Exploration Progress Update on High-Grade Exodus Gold Project

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 2, 2020 / NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTC PINK:NVGLF) ("NV Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing exploration program at the optioned high-grade Exodus Gold Project, located in the Cariboo Mining Division, 40 km NNW of Prince George, British Columbia.

Highlights of recent exploration activity at the Exodus Gold Project:

• A soil geochemistry program is now complete over an area of 2 km x 2 km , where samples were taken across the central portion of the property (central zone) on a 100 x 50 meter grid, with an increased density within the immediate discovery area to a 50x25 meter grid. All samples (817) are currently being analyzed for gold and multi-element geochemistry. See below Figure 1.

• The Company currently has multiple geologists in the field, mapping and sampling both the newly identified veins (from trenching), and newly established road networks with identified mineralized outcrops. Assays for this work are pending.

• Our technical team at site has identified new outcrop exposures and vein systems from mapping and trenching activity, and is also currently prospecting for new outcrops across the favourable central zone.

• Positive discussions were held on August 28^th, 2020 with Lheidli T'enneh First Nation with the goal of establishing a Mineral Exploration Agreement.

• An exploration drill permit has been submitted and is now in a review process. Initial drill permit is designed for future drilling up to 5,000 meters, utilizing up to 15 drill pads within a 1km x 1km central area over the next two years.

• Interpretation of the geophysical survey data has defined a number of linear breaks, which may represent key faults and/or structures that are important in controls on mineralization. See below Figure 2 and Figure 3.

• The NVX-Exodus aeromagnetic survey data was integrated with the public QUEST datasets to provide regional perspective to the geologic interpretation.

• Interpretation of the QUEST VTEM data has been used to define the depths to bedrock across the property, which will be a useful tool as we continue to explore the property for additional targets.

• As noted on July 29^th, the land position was increased by 8.1% to 121.51 sq. km or 12,151 hectares.

• A COVID-19 Operation Plan in place for safe, but active summer exploration program.

• The 2020 exploration plan encompasses detailed mapping, trenching, soil sampling, project wide geophysics, and structural modeling with the aim of developing a fall diamond drilling campaign to test priority targets focused in the central zone.

Peter A. Ball, President & CEO commented, "The ongoing exploration program at the Exodus Gold Project continues to exceed expectations in regards activity, progress, and expansion of vein systems within the central zone. Our dedicated exploration team at site, led by Project Manager Max Keogh, P. Geo, and guided by our technical committee, continues to make excellent progress in identifying and expanding the interpreted vein systems along strike. During July, we were able to complete a 2 km x 2 km soil geochemistry grid over the central zone, with assays and geochemical results pending. The combination of newly identified (previously hidden) structures from the recent geophysical survey shows a strong correlation to previous areas where high grade mineralization was sampled at surface. We are now focused on an expansive trenching program in the central zone, followed by mapping and structural modelling of the multiple vein systems for a fall diamond drill campaign. In addition, we will be completing a property wide reconnaissance exploration program to assist in further understanding and interpretation of the local and regional geological model in building additional targets, noting we are in an area with very limited historical exploration."

About Exodus Gold Project

• Located approximately 40km north of Prince George, BC.

• Since 2007, Geoscience BC has implemented the QUEST project, consisting of regional geophysical and geochemical surveys that identified favourable potential for gold mineralization on the Exodus Gold Project. This included a large-scale 15km long magnetic low thought to be associated with hydrothermal alteration.

• Structural interpretation of regional geology and geophysics has identified a significant north-south trending structure break transecting centrally through the property. This is inclusive of a possible interpreted deep-seated dilatational jog entirely confined within the claim block.

• Gold occurs in zones of stockwork quartz veinlets and in quartz veins up to 1.5 meters wide. Widespread gold and associated arsenic and antimony geochemical anomalism displayed by quartz vein and soil samples. Trenching in 2019 (Trench 1) yielded 14 rock samples grading greater than 5.0 g/t Au, including 9.01 g/t Au (35,600 ppm As, 609 ppm Sb), 13.70 g/t Au (26,000 ppm As, 295 ppm Sb) and 23.2 g/t Au (74,600 ppm As, 1,540 ppm Sb). Gold mineralization occurs with arsenopyrite and antimony minerals, suggesting a possible epizonal orogenic setting.

• The prospective mineralized corridor is interpreted to be approximately 5 km wide and extend approximately 15 km along strike. This corridor is highlighted by a regional trend of low magnetism in which new gold showings have been discovered.

• Channel rock chip samples of high-grade gold quartz veins has been the initial focus of exploration work at the Exodus Gold Project. Based on limited sampling, significant mineralization is believed to occur within altered and deformed host rocks surrounding these veins.
