VANCOUVER, BC, May 23, 2023 – Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NKG; OTCQX: NKGFF) (“Nevada King” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from one vertical, reverse circulation (“RC”) hole recently completed at its at its 5,166 hectare (51.6km2), 100% owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project, located in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Highlights:
Cal Herron, Exploration Manager of Nevada King, commented, “We continue to intersect higher-grade results as our drills step westward across the WAF from the AMFZ into the West Atlanta Graben. The WAF is a major control over gold/silver mineralization and proximity to this structure is the key to finding higher-grades within the adjacent AMFZ and West Atlanta Graben. The Company will continue drilling more fences east-west across the WAF in order to expand the northerly-trending high-grade core zone and test the thick, volcanic-hosted mineralization occurring within the adjacent West Atlanta Graben. The Company will also test for mineralization southward along the AMFZ, moving into an area with no historical drilling that is looking more like a major blue sky target at Atlanta.”

About Nevada King Gold Corp.
Nevada King is the third largest mineral claim holder in the State of Nevada, behind Nevada Gold Mines (Barrick/Newmont) and Kinross Gold. Starting in 2016, the Company has staked large project areas hosting significant historical exploration work along the Battle Mountain trend located close to current or former producing gold mines. These project areas were initially targeted based on their potential for hosting multi-million-ounce gold deposits and were subsequently staked following a detailed geological evaluation. District-scale projects in Nevada King’s portfolio include (1) the 100% owned Atlanta Mine, located 100km southeast of Ely, (2) the Lewis and Horse Mountain-Mill Creek projects, both located between Nevada Gold Mines’ large Phoenix and Pipeline mines, and (3) the Iron Point project, located 35km east of Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Company is well funded with cash of approximately $10 million as of May 2023.
The Atlanta Mine is a historical gold-silver producer with a NI 43-101 compliant pit-constrained resource of 460,000 oz Au in the measured and indicated category (11.0M tonnes at 1.3 g/t) plus an inferred resource of 142,000 oz Au (5.3M tonnes at 0.83 g/t).
