Nevada Sunrise Signs Definitive Agreement for Gemini Lithium Project with Eureka Resources

TSXV: NEV

VANCOUVER, Sept. 22, 2016 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce the signing of a definitive joint venture agreement dated September 21, 2016 on the Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini", or the "Project"), a 50-50 joint venture with Eureka Resources Inc. ("Eureka"") (TSXV: EUK).  Nevada Sunrise acquired Gemini in the Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada, by claim staking in November and December 2015 and later optioned a 50% interest to Eureka in January 2016 (see Nevada Sunrise news release dated January 21, 2016).

In August 2016, Nevada Sunrise granted Advantage Lithium Corp. (TSXV: AAL) (formerly North South Petroleum Corp., now "Advantage") an option for Advantage to earn a 50% interest in Gemini as part of a transaction involving five Nevada lithium exploration properties. Upon exercise of the option earn-in by Advantage, Nevada Sunrise would relinquish its 50% interest in Gemini, and retain a 2% gross overriding royalty (for further information on the Advantage transaction, see Nevada Sunrise news release dated June 20, 2016).

About Gemini

Nevada Sunrise owns a 50% participating interest in Gemini, located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, in south central Nevada, approximately 40 kilometres (26 miles) from North America's only producing lithium mine at Silver Peak. Gemini currently consists of 247 placer claims totaling 4,940 acres (2,000 hectares).  Gemini is situated in a flat, desert basin hosting two interpreted sub-basins and with a similar geological setting to the Clayton Valley. Recent geophysical work at Gemini has outlined conductive zones interpreted as brine horizons, which the Company plans to test by drilling.

The exploration program for Gemini is estimated to cost approximately US$400,000. Nevada Sunrise is pleased that all of the pre-requisites to commence a drilling program at Gemini have been completed, including receipt of the drilling permit from the Bureau of Land Management, the placement of a reclamation bond, and surficial cultural studies.
