Highly Prospective Zeus Copper Project Staked Within The Hercules Copper Trend

VANCOUVER - NevGold Corp. reported staking approximately 20 square kilometers (approximately 2,000 hectares, or 4,900 acres) contiguous tomineral claims held by Hercules Silver Corp. within the emerging Hercules Copper Trend of southwestern Idaho. The Zeus Copper Project is located approximately 20 kilometres southwest of the copper porphyry discovery made by Hercules.

This area of Idaho, named the “Mineral District”, was a significant historical copper producer that supported a smelting operation and hosts numerous historical mine workings. The geological mapping compiled by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicates that the Zeus Project is underlain by the same geology encountered at the Hercules Project.

CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, said, “We are extremely excited to announce our Zeus Copper Project within the Hercules Copper Trend of Washington County, Idaho. Due to our presence in this region of Idaho with Nutmeg Mountain, our resource stage, oxide, heap-leach gold project, our technical team had a very strong understanding of the regional geology. We were a first mover and based on our technical knowledge of the area we staked key strategic claims while consolidating some of the most strategic ground in this emerging copper belt. The Zeus Project has many of the same geological characteristics as the Hercules Project, and our team encountered signs of copper mineralization and copper porphyry alteration while staking over recent months.

Although the Zeus Copper Project is an additional project added to the portfolio with significant potential value for our shareholders, we remain focused on expanding our oxide, heap-leach gold resource platform in the Western USA with Nutmeg Mountain in Idaho, and Limousine Butte in Nevada. We are looking forward to further developing our portfolio of top-quality assets in the world class jurisdictions of Idaho and Nevada, and we will have many updates from Zeus, Nutmeg Mountain, and Limousine Butte over the coming months.”
