NexGold Infill Drilling Continues to Intersect High-Grade Gold Mineralization at the Goldboro Gold Project, Including 77.30 g/t over 1.25 metres and 19.32 g/t gold over 3.50 metres

TORONTO, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG; OTCQX: NXGCF) (“NexGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide additional drill results from a recently-completed 26,854-metre diamond drill program initially announced on January 22, 2025 at the Company’s Goldboro Gold Project (“Goldboro”) in Nova Scotia. The drill program is primarily designed to infill specific areas of the open pit Mineral Resource identified to improve geological and grade continuity and potentially upgrade certain areas of Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources. The assay results for an additional 36 infill diamond drill holes (BR-25-485, 488, 492, 494, 497, 500, 503, 506, 509, 511, 514, 516, 517, 519, 525, 526, 528, 529, 531-533, 535-538, 540-543, 545-550), totalling 5,874.2 metres, were from drilling in the proposed east pit (Figure 1; Table 1).

Kevin Bullock, President and CEO, stated: “We are very pleased to continue to see high-grade gold assays from the East Goldbrook domain and within the proposed east pit. The additional infill, twinned drilling and numerous gold intercepts within the east pit will help us further refine the Goldboro Mineral Resource model going forward. We are also pleased to announce that we have selected Micon International Co Limited to complete the Mineral Resource update, which is now underway and is a critical first step to updating the existing Goldboro Feasibility Study. The Mineral Resource update is ongoing while permitting advances, including the recent news that the federal government of Canada has approved an amendment to Schedule 2 of the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations for the Goldboro Gold Project, a key permitting milestone required for construction and operation.”

Selected drill intersections from 36 diamond drill holes in this news release are further detailed in Table 2 and include:

  • 77.30 g/t gold over 1.25 metres (from 96.75 to 98.00 metres), including 190.50 g/t gold over 0.50 metres in drill hole BR-25-516;
  • 19.32 g/t gold over 3.50 metres (from 37.00 to 40.50 metres), including 133.50 g/t gold over 0.50 metres in drill hole BR-25-549;
  • 70.78 g/t gold over 0.85 metres (from 30.70 to 31.55 metres) in drill hole BR-25-492;
  • 56.26 g/t gold over 1.00 metres (from 93.00 to 94.00 metres), including 112.00 g/t gold over 0.50 metres in drill hole BR-25-545;
  • 19.18 g/t gold over 2.30 metres (from 41.00 to 43.30 metres), including 82.20 g/t gold over 0.50 metres in drill hole BR-25-536;
  • 69.64 g/t gold over 0.50 metres (from 229.40 to 229.90 metres) in drill hole BR-25-503;
  • 19.26 g/t gold over 1.50 metres (from 142.00 to 143.50 metres), including 28.80 g/t gold 1.00 metres in drill hole BR-25-545; and
  • 3.44 g/t gold over 8.00 metres (from 21.00 to 29.00 metres), including 23.90 g/t gold over 1.00 metres in drill hole BR-25-537.

The Company has now released 86 drill holes (approximately 61%) from the infill program. Results from the drill program to date, for the drilling conducted in the proposed west and east pits, demonstrate the presence of mineralization that is consistent with previous drill results. In particular, the existing geological model appears to broadly predict the location of gold mineralization with local adjustments to the model where mineralization is either not in the exact positions predicted by the model or if no mineralization is intersected. Significantly, the drill program continues to intersect additional gold mineralization in areas where no mineralization was previously known or predicted. This occurs either in under-drilled areas or near historic drilling which were not thoroughly sampled. Mineralized solids will be adjusted where necessary to account for local variations in the model, and any impact due to additional assay data gathered during the drill program will be investigated during the forthcoming Mineral Resource estimate planned during H2 2025.

Notes:

  1. Reported intervals are drilled core lengths and do not indicate true widths. True widths are estimated at between 70-100% of core length. For duplicate samples, the original sample assays are used to calculate the intersection grade. All grades are uncapped.
  2. Some drill hole numbers are missing from the sequence. These drill holes are not reported in this news release since they were drilled in another location and will be reported in a separate news release with other contiguous or related drilling information.
  3. Drill holes BR-25-466 to 475, 479, 498 and 501 were reported in previous news releases dated May 16 and June 5, 2025.
  4. Drill holes BR-25-477, 478, 481 to 483, 486, 489, 491, 495, 502, 505, 508, 510, 513, 518, 520, 522, and 524 were reported in a previous news release dated June 13, 2025.
  5. Drill holes BR-25-476, 480, 484, 487, 490, 493, 496, 499, 504, 507 and 512 were reported in a previous news release dated June 19, 2025.
  6. Drill holes BR-25-515, 521, 523, 527, 530, 534, 539 and 544 were reported in a previous news release dated June 26, 2025.

QA / QC

The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with the CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines. The NQ diameter drill core is sawn in half with one-half of the core sample dispatched to either Eastern Analytical Ltd. (Eastern) preparation facility in Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador or the ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS) prep lab in Moncton, NB and then the pulp is sent to North Vancouver, BC for fire assay. The other half of the core is retained for future assay verification and/or metallurgical testing. Analysis for gold was completed by fire assay (30 g) with an AA finish. All assays in this press release are reported as fire assays only.

For samples analyzing greater than 0.5 g/t Au via 30 g fire assay, these samples will be re-analyzed at Eastern via total pulp metallics. For the total pulp metallics analysis, the entire sample is crushed to ‑10mesh and pulverized to 95% -150mesh. The total sample is then weighed and screened to 150mesh. The +150mesh fraction is fire assayed for Au, and a 30 g subsample of the -150mesh fraction analyzed via fire assay. A weighted average gold grade is calculated for the final reportable gold grade. Total pulp metallics assays for drill holes sited within this press release may be updated in a future news release. Check assays are conducted at Eastern for assay samples received from ALS and check assays are conducted at ALS for assays received from Eastern following the completion of a program.

Other QA/QC procedures include the regular insertion of blanks and CDN Resource Laboratories certified reference standards. The laboratory also has its own QA/QC protocols running standards and blanks with duplicate samples in each batch stream for all analysis.
