Nevada King Gold Receives Plan of Operation from BLM for Iron Point Project

VANCOUVER, June 3, 2021 - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) ("Nevada King" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") has approved the Plan of Operation (the "Plan") for its Iron Point Project (the "Project") which will allow for further advancement including future expanded drilling targeted at resource definition.

Highlights

• The Plan allows for comprehensive exploration access to a 4 km² core area within the 61.5 km² project area.
• The Plan will now accomodate construction of evenly spaced in-fill drill patterns for advancing the vanadium resource, as well as facilitating drill exploration of the deep Carlin-type gold mineralization Nevada King discovered in 2019.
• The cultural and biological clearance contained in the FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact) decision included with the Plan obviates restrictions on the ground investigations and additional testwork required for planning and siting critical mine infrastructure.
• The Company continues to advance toward completion of a PEA for the vanadium project.
• At the same time the Company is on-going with its exploration of Carlin-type gold mineralization in Lower Plate carbonates beneath the Roberts Mountain Thrust and will provide a separate update on these plans shortly.

Paul Matysek, Founder & Executive Chairman of Nevada King, stated "Receiving this Plan of Operations provides us with significantly enhanced flexibility to both advance the Iron Point vanadium project and to drill the project for deep Carlin-type gold mineralization. This Plan approval is a key step toward unlocking the mineral potential at Iron Point. We look forward to moving the vanadium project through the PEA process and at the same time expand the multiple gold zones discovered along a 5km long structure corridor during our 2019 deep drilling program. Our team has been working hard over the past two years to better understand the distribution and geometry of deep Carlin-type gold mineralization at Iron Point. Our results will be discussed shortly in up-coming releases."

Specifically the Plan includes approval for:

• Construction of roads and the utilization of existing overland travel routes
• Geologic mapping and geophysical surveys
• Construction of drill sites
• Core and reverse circulation (RC) drilling
• Excavation of geologic test pits/trenching for bulk sampling
• Drilling and test pits for geotechnical assessment
• Drilling of water monitoring and water production wells
• Installation of a meteorological station

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 in the Battle Mountain trend that are close to current or former producing gold mines, and that have significant historic exploration work. These project areas were initially selected 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 vanadium and gold project, located 35km east of Winnemucca, Nevada.

The Atlanta Mine is a historical gold-silver producer with an NI 43-101 compliant pit-constrained resource of 460,000 oz Au in the measured and indicated category (11.0 M tonnes at 1.3 g/t) plus an inferred resource of 142,000 oz Au (5.3M tonnes at 0.83 g/t). See the NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources titled "Atlanta Property, Lincoln County, NV" with an effective date of October 6, 2020, and a report date of December 22, 2020, as prepared by Gustavson Associates and filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

A drill program will commence shortly at Atlanta aimed at expanding the existing resource as well as testing multiple targets elsewhere within the large Atlanta property package. The Lewis project exhibits significant gold mineralization at surface and in historic drilling and is adjacent to and on trend with Nevada Gold Mine's Hilltop gold deposit. The Horse Mountain - Mill Creek Project is a lower plate target adjoining an active Nevada Gold Mines exploration project and hosts historic high-grade hits drilled by Barrick in carbonates beneath the Roberts Mountain Thrust. The Iron Point gold and vanadium project is located within a few kilometers of Interstate 80, 35km east of Winemucca, has high voltage electric power lines running through the project area and a railroad line passing across the northern property boundary. With $18M in working capital, Nevada King is well financed to advance further exploration of its gold projects as well as to advance the Iron Point Vanadium Project through resource estimation and initial feasibility study work. Nevada King has a proven capital market and mining team led by Executive Chairman Paul Matysek and CEO Collin Kettell.
