NuLegacy Initiates Exploration on its IRC Claims

20.08.2015  |  Marketwired

Gravity Survey Generates Initial Drill Targets


RENO, NEVADA--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2015) - NuLegacy Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NUG)(OTCQX:NULGF) reports it has begun exploring its 100% controlled(1) Idaho Resources Corporation (IRC) claims that lie immediately to the east of its Iceberg gold deposit and along the trend of the Barrick's gold mines in the Cortez, Nevada.

An initial gravity survey was completed on the IRC claims in parallel with the ongoing exploration of the Iceberg deposit. Five drill holes from the Iceberg are in for assay and expected to be ready for reporting by month's end, and a further 8-10 hole drilling program on the Iceberg is scheduled to commence the week of Aug. 24th.

"As we near the completion of the earn-in to the 70% working interest(2) (anticipated in October) in the Iceberg gold deposit that we discovered in 2012, we will begin our efforts to establish gold resources on our adjacent 100% controlled 39 sq. km IRC claims", said Albert Matter, Chairman of NuLegacy Gold.

"To meet the deadline to earn-in (December 31, 2015) to the 70% interest in the Iceberg deposit we focused all our efforts on the Iceberg this past three years, and in the process we established a near-surface NI43-101 compliant 90 to 100 million tonne exploration targeti with oxidized gold mineralization grading between 0.9 and 1.1 grams/tonne of gold. Discovery of a second gold deposit in close proximity to the Iceberg would further enhance the value of NuLegacy Gold."

The IRC program will follow the exploration template that successfully delineated the Iceberg gold deposit; initial gravity surveys correlated with geochemical surveys and then drilling.

The gravity survey, performed by Zonge Geophysical of Reno Nevada was completed on 200 meter centers. It identified a significant gravity low with associated north-northwest trending structural zones that are interpreted as reflecting strongly altered and fractured Devonian carbonates similar to those that are the principal hosts for gold mineralization in the Iceberg deposit. A review of the historical geochemical surveys and their correlation with the gravity surveys is in progress to generate priority drill targets.

COO, Dr. Roger Steininger states: "This survey validates our view that the IRC claims hold considerable potential for gold mineralization. Additional mapping as well as further analysis of the correlation between this data and previous geochemical data will be completed to determine the priority targets for an initial phase of drilling".

About NuLegacy:

- Focused on delineating gold resources in the prolific Cortez gold trend of Nevada.

- Completing by year-end 2015 the earn-in to a 70% working interest in a classic Carlin-type oxidized gold discovery (the Iceberg gold deposit) on the 23 sq. mile portion of the Cortez trend optioned from Barrick Gold Corp..

- As at year-end 2014, the Iceberg gold deposit had an exploration target(i) of 90 to 110 million tonnes grading between 0.90 grams and 1.10 grams of gold/tonne.

- The Iceberg is on trend with three of Barrick`s multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold systems that are Barrick's best gold deposits,(ii) and it is directly adjacent(iii) to the recently discovered Goldrush deposit.(iv)

(i) These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 58 NuLegacy drill holes in and around the Iceberg deposit. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

(ii) As extracted from Barrick's Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports.

(iii) The close proximity of the Goldrush deposit to the Iceberg deposit is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in the Iceberg deposit.

(iv) As reported by Barrick as of December 31, 2013, the Goldrush deposit contained a resource of 423,000 ounce of gold (3.1 million tons grading 0.137 oz./ton - measured), 9,537,000 ounces (72.5 million tons grading 0.132 oz./ton - indicated) and 5,555,000 ounce (39.5 million tons grading 0.141oz./ton - inferred).
