Vancouver, British Columbia, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NevGold Corp. ("NevGold” or the "Company”) (TSXV:NAU) (OTCQX:NAUFF) (Frankfurt:5E50) is pleased to announce that it has discovered further significant oxide gold-antimony ("Antimony”, "Sb”) drill results at its Limousine Butte Project (the "Project”, "Limo Butte”) in Nevada. The Company continues to unlock the substantial gold-antimony potential of the Project, highlighting its promising prospects for further exploration and development in Nevada, one of the world's prolific mining jurisdictions.
Key Highlights
- Some of the highest gold-antimony grades seen to date at Resurrection Ridge including:
- LIM-46: 7.04 g/t AuEq* over 15.2 meters (6.37 g/t Au and 0.15% Sb), within 4.14 g/t AuEq* over 29.0 meters (3.56 g/t Au and 0.13% Sb
- LB016: 0.61 g/t AuEq* over 36.6 meters from surface (0.16 g/t Au and 0.10% Sb) extending mineralization over 400 meters along strike and opening up large, undrilled areas of the Project for further expansion; the mineralization footprint now expands over 800 meters at Resurrection Ridge (see Figure 1, Figure 2) within a larger +5 km strike length between Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley (Figure 3)
- *Gold equivalents ("AuEq”) are based on assumed metals prices of US$2,000/oz of gold and US$35,000 per tonne of antimony (~30% discount to current spot prices), and assumed metals recoveries of 85% for gold and 70% for antimony.
- Drillholes at Resurrection Ridge are drilled with spacing showing strong potential to advance the Project to an initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE”) (see Figure 1)
- Over 20 holes have been released to date; the Company has more than 30 holes with pending results from Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley
- Metallurgical testwork program has commenced with over 100 kg bulk sample from the Project and NevGold core drilling; results are expected over the coming weeks
- Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley oxide gold-antimony mineralization demonstrates the significant oxide gold-antimony potential across a large, open mineralized footprint (Figure 1, Figure 4)
- All areas at the Project with gold-antimony potential are permitted and ready to drill under the Limo Butte Plan of Operations ("PoO”) approved in November-2024 (see NevGold News Release from November 27, 2024)
- Significant antimony (Sb) upside: historical drilling had an upper detection limit of 1% Sb but drill intervals exceeded the limit; these samples are currently being re-assayed at American Assay Lab in Reno, Nevada
- NevGold will continue re-evaluating historical drilling from the Project, focusing on both oxide gold and antimony

NevGold will continue its active exploration program at Limo Butte including:
- Evaluate the historical geological database with focus on gold and antimony (in progress);
- Re-analyze historical drilling with focus on gold and antimony (in progress);
- Metallurgical testwork (in progress);
- Drill test gold-antimony targets (in planning phase).

NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: "These results have some of the highest oxide gold-antimony grades that we have seen to date at Limo Butte. We have also started to expand the mineralization footprint at Resurrection Ridge, with over 800 meters defined, and we still have over 30 holes to release prior to commencing our 2025 drill program. We are continuing to see exceptional oxide gold-antimony results across a large area at the Project, and we will remain focused on adding to the mineralization footprint and filling in some of the gaps in the gold-antimony geological database, with the goal of rapidly advancing Limo Butte to an initial gold-antimony Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE”) in 2025. Our metallurgical testwork program continues to advance to outline the optimal flowsheet to recover the gold and antimony, and we are expecting results over the coming weeks. The environment is optimal to continue to advance and unlock the gold-antimony potential at Limo Butte as there is a clear commitment from the United States to advance high-quality, domestic, mineral projects.”
