NuLegacy Receives Additional Drill Permits

RENO, Nev., Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation (NUG:TSXV / NULGF:OTC) is pleased to report that it has received final approvals from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of both its ‘Avocado’ Plan of Operations (POO) permit as well as its ‘Foothills’ Notice of Intent (NOI) permit.

With these permits approved the current 10-hole exploration program should be completed without delay and the planning of the 2019 exploration drilling program can commence once the assays from the fall program are in hand. Results from the fall program will be reported when all assays have been received and fully evaluated by our geological team.

The Avocado POO is a significant asset as the baseline studies that were completed for it are essential for the development of the Avocado. The POO is an environmental permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), that covers 2,579 acres (4.1 sq miles) and will allow a major expansion of drilling activity. The larger disturbance allowance will give the Company more flexibility in planning and permitting the numerous drill sites required for the expansion and delineation of the Avocado gold deposit during the 2019 drill season and beyond.

Initially NuLegacy will provide bonding for the disturbance of 95 acres of the Plan area which should be more than sufficient to complete the anticipated 2019 exploration programs (details of which to be provided in a mid-March news release). NuLegacy had been exploring the Avocado under a Notice of Intent that limited surface disturbance to only five acres of total disturbance. 

The ‘Foothills’ NOI allows for the drilling of the first two holes into this new target identified this season to the north-west of the Serena zone. Drilling of these holes will follow the completion of the “Deep Rift” test hole currently being drilled approximately 1,450 meters due west of the Serena zone. The Deep Rift hole is testing a target directly between the Long and Yankee faults at the intersection of the major northwest and east-west structural trends associated with Carlin-type gold systems.

About NuLegacy Gold Corporation: NuLegacy is a Nevada exploration company focused on discovering additional Carlin-style gold deposits on its premier district scale 108 sq. km (41.7 sq. mile) Red Hill Project in the prolific Cortez gold trend of Nevada.

To date NuLegacy has discovered the Iceberg Carlin-style gold deposits and has identified several more highly prospective exploration targets that are being drilled this year.

NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project is located on trend and adjacentⁱ to the three multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick Gold’s largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold minesⁱⁱ.

ⁱ The similarity and proximity of these deposits (including Goldrush) in the Cortez Trend is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project.
ⁱⁱ As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports. As reported by Barrick, the Goldrush resource contains 8,557,000 indicated ounces of gold within 25.78 million tonnes grading ~10.57 g/t and 1,650,000 inferred ounces within 5.6 million tonnes grading ~9.0 g/t.
