NV Gold Corporation Stakes High-Grade Gold System in the Tonopah District, Nevada and Completes Drill Program at Cooks Creek Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 6, 2017) - NV Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:NVX) ("NV Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has staked an outcropping high-grade gold system 13 km north of the Tonopah Mining District. The new project, Frazier Dome, has yielded surface rock-chip assays to 11.2 g/t Au (Company sampling), and historic shallow drilling intersected both high-grade (7.5 g/t Au over 3 m) and low-grade (0.85 g/t over 15 m) mineralization.

Frazier Dome Project

The Frazier Dome Project consists of 50 unpatented mining claims recently staked by the Company, 13 km north of the Tonopah Mining District. The Project contains a low-sulfidation, volcanic-hosted epithermal gold system with high-grade mineralization in three settings:

• Gold occurs in silicified breccias adjacent to and appear genetically-related to a Middle Miocene felsic dome (Company samples to 6.1 g/t Au over 3 m, historic samples to 14.7 g/t Au);
• High-grade gold also occurs in north-northwest-trending quartz vein stockworks (Company samples to 11.2 g/t Au) within the volcanic rocks farther from the dome and along the contact between the volcanics and underlying pre-Cenozoic basement (historic drill hole with 7.5 g/t over 3 m at 58 m);
• Lower-grade gold mineralization in silicified volcanics lacking veins (Company samples to 0.50 g/t Au; historic drilling of 0.85 g/t over 15 m). Mineralization and alteration project under thin post-mineral volcanic and alluvial cover. Veins have been traced for as much as 370 m before projecting under cover.

The Tonopah Mining District contains two styles of volcanic-hosted epithermal gold mineralization:

1. High-grade, intermediate-sulfidation Ag-rich veins which historically produced 174 million ounces (Moz) Ag and 1.9 Moz gold; and
2. Younger, low-sulfidation, gold-rich mineralization event related to intrusive rhyolite domes which has been the focus of modern exploration (e.g., Hasbrouck deposit).

The Frazier Dome mineral system is similar to the later mineralization in the Tonopah district and to Columbus Gold's Eastside Gold Project 32 km to the west across Smoky Valley, where gold mineralization is associated with rhyolite domes.

Historic drilling between 1980 and 1991 intersected significant gold mineralization (refer to Table 1), but was shallow (< 150 m) and didn't historically test all areas of outcropping gold or for mineralization beneath the cover. Based on the Company's preliminary work, the priority exploration target is gold mineralization adjacent to the intrusive dome, especially at the basement contact, known to be mineralized farther from the dome and to be a setting conducive to the development of high-grade epithermal mineralization seen elsewhere in Nevada.

NV Gold's President, John Watson, states: "Frazier Dome shows our continuing commitment to growing our portfolio, and demonstrates our focus on exploration targets near historic and active mining districts and in productive gold trends. We will immediately complete a detailed project summary report, and seek lease or venture partners to advance an exploration program."

Cooks Creek Drilling

At Cooks Creek, two initial target areas were tested with 9 reverse-circulation drill holes totaling 1,475 m and ranged from 67 m to 244 m in length (see Table 2 below). Drilling in early December 2016, tested two targets. Holes CC16-1 through CC16-7 tested a portion of the Dinner zone, where previous surface sampling yielded gold to 2.45 g/t in silicified hydrothermal breccias believed to be localized along a northeast-trending fault with poor surface exposure. Holes CC16-8 and CC16-8A tested the Lunch fault, 1.2 km north of the Dinner zone, where historic drilling intersected 2.32 g/t Au over 21.3 m. Hole CC16-8A was a redrilled twin of CC16-8, which was lost above target due to drilling problems. CC16-8A intersected anomalous gold (0.470 ppm over 4.6 m) above (in the hanging wall of) the fault, similar to previous holes.

CC16-8	67.1			Not assayed - hole re-drilled
CC16-8A	115.8	37.9	42.4	0.470 ppm

NV Gold's President, John Watson, states: "During the Cooks Creek program, a small target was tested on this large property which has exhibited widespread gold. Initial drilling, which was designed to test this conceptual target was not successful in yielding results of merit, but opportunities remain elsewhere and the property will continue to be evaluated to determine additional targets. The volcanic-basement unconformity is intriguing noting that it has yet to be determined if it's a more significant control to mineralization than previously envisioned. The large alluvial basin adjacent to the mineralized zones conceals this unconformity, and the target will be evaluated further. "
