NuLegacy Drilling Expands Iceberg Gold Deposit
Higher grade intercepts in North zone
(firmenpresse) - RENO, NEVADA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/30/16 -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: NUG) (OTCQX: NULGF) reports assays from the last eight holes of infill and step-out drilling in the 2016 exploration program on its 100% owned Iceberg oxide gold deposit.
The primary target of this set of holes is the near-surface Carlin-style oxidized gold mineralization within the 3 km long and 0.5 km wide Iceberg gold deposit in the Cortez gold-trend of north-central Nevada.
Highlights include:
North zone:
Central zone:
West zone: Exploration of the newly discovered West zone (150-300 meters west of the Central zone) has encountered two horizons of encouraging gold mineralization with:
"Our 2016 drilling campaign continued the expansion of the Iceberg gold deposit, which is open in most directions," comments Dr. Steininger, NuLegacy's CGO, "The successful drilling in the West zone of the Iceberg, the discovery of the Avocado gold deposit and the identification of the Deep Iceberg anomaly (as reported Nov 17th. 2016) which is to be drilled in the spring of 2017 has confirmed that our geophysical targeting is a productive tool in the location of gold mineralization on the property. During 2016 we greatly increased our understanding of the Iceberg gold deposit and identified new targets on the property, and are looking forward to a successful 2017 exploration program."
Drilling of our newly discovered Avocado deposit is continuing with hole AV-4c, a deep, approx. 2,100-foot (650 meter) core hole designed to twin AV-2, the reverse circulation discovery hole. This will provide important stratigraphic and structural information to help guide the vectoring of the next set of holes designed to test for the origination of the massive 655 foot/200 meter 'bloom of 1/4 gram gold' reported in AV-2. The hole is expected to be completed by mid-December; we expect the assay results early in the New Year in time to utilize them to select sites and commence a three to five-hole Avocado exploration program in the spring of 2017.

About NuLegacy: NuLegacy Gold Corporation is an advanced stage Nevada exploration company focused on expanding its Carlin-style near-surface Iceberg oxide gold deposit with an established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to 1.1 grams of gold per tonne(i), and exploring for additional gold deposits on the 38 sq. mile (98 sq. km) Red Hill property located in the Cortez gold trend of Nevada.
The Iceberg gold deposit has similar geology to that of Barrick Gold's multi-million-ounce Pipeline deposit the discovery of which is credited to NuLegacy's Chief Geoscience Officer, Dr. Roger Steininger. The Iceberg is located on (ii) to Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick's lowest cost and politically safest gold assets(iii).

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance: Reverse circulation drilling was conducted by AK Drilling of Butte, Montana under the supervision of Thomas Roman, Exploration Manager, and Dr. Roger Steininger, CGO (CPG 7417) and the chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. The samples were analyzed by American Assay Labs of Sparks, NV and sufficient commercially prepared standards, blanks, and duplicates were inserted to assure quality analytical results. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the duplicates, standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results. The reported gold intervals may or may not represent true thicknesses and/or widths as there is insufficient data at this time with respect to the shape of mineralization to calculate its true orientation.
