Preparation For Drilling At The Lewis Gold Project


VANCOUVER - Nevada King Gold Corp. reported on the Lewis Gold Project in Lander County, Nevada. The Lewis Project is located in the heart of the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. It contains two past producing undergound mines as well as two historical gold resources that are open in multiple directions and at depth, and covers approximately 9km2 with significant gold mineralization. The project represents one of the last underexplored district scale opportunities with the geologic potential to host a near-surface, oxide gold deposit. Nevada King has an extensive historical database dating back to 1985 on the Project which includes 258 RC and core holes. The mineralized gold footprint has been mapped over a significant area, covering 5km x 2km.

Over the last five years, Nevada King has consolidated the Lewis district into a cohesive package for the first time through several staking campaigns, a property option agreement, and the purchase of patented claims. The Company anticipates launching a drill program in early September that will consist of at least 38 RC holes ranging in depth from 100m to 230m and totaling a minimum of 6,400m. Recently approval was received for a Notice with the Bureau of Land Management, which provides permitting for this program.
