- Core drilling will focus on a series of six strategically placed PQ holes totaling1,480malong high-grade corridors in and around the historic Atlanta Pit that will be used for the ongoing metallurgical testing program as well as confirmation of proximal RC hole results.
- The Company continues to utilize one RC rig to define deeper mineralization within the West Atlanta Graben ("WAG") while a second RC rig is targeting shallower mineralization along the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone with closer-spaced drilling designed to better define high-grade zones discovered byNevada Kingwithin the main resource area. A third RC rig is currently drilling a series of widely spaced exploration holes at the Western Knolls prospect, located 5.5km west of the Atlanta Pit, testing a variety of geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
- From inception of the Phase I drill program inJune 2021, into the continuation of Phase II,Nevada Kinghas drilled346 RC holes totaling55,186mand 17 core holes totaling1,398m, for a total of56,584m. Assays from 234 drill holes totaling32,876mhave been reported withresults pending for 129 drill holes totaling22,314m.
- The existing resource model (Table 1 below) atAtlantais based on 71 historic drill holes and does not incorporate any of the Phase I or II drilling completed byNevada Kingto date – drilling that continues to expand mineralization northward and southward outside of the resource model, as well as westward into the WAG.

Starting in 2016 the Company has staked large project areas hosting significant historical exploration work along theBattle Mountaintrend located close to current or former producing gold mines. These project areas were initially targeted based on their potential for hosting multi-million-ounce gold deposits and were subsequently staked following a detailed geological evaluation.
