Update On Drilling At Atlanta Gold Mine Project

VANCOUVER - Nevada King Gold Corp. reported on its previously announced 4,200m, reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its 100% owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project, located 264km northeast of Las Vegas in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend, Nevada. Highlights: Nevada King has completed 26 of 52 RC holes targeted for the  Phase I  Atlanta Pit drilling program. Depths of these initial holes range from 30 to 198 meters; Most of the drilled holes are vertical but a few -45° angle holes have been utilized to reach into the historical pit to test exposed mineralization where pit benches are no longer accessible; The first batch of drill samples have been delivered to American Assay Lab in Sparks, NV, and are pending assays; and Once perimeter drilling is completed, the Company plans to explore for the up-dip extension of high grade mineralization present in historical holes drilled from the western side of the open pit.

Cal Herron, Chief Operating Officer, said, "The majority of the holes drilled to date have encountered varying amounts of strong silicification and brecciation, which has historically been associated with gold mineralization. We're hitting strongly altered dikes and breccia dikes as well as some extensive zones of explosive-type volcanic venting around the edges of the intrusive stock that dominates the western part of the pit resource zone. We eagerly await assays to better understand the geological controls of the mineralized zones and guide further drilling."
