Nevada King Gold Corp. announced assay results from one metallurgical core hole and two reverse circulation ("RC") holes recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the prolific Battle Mountain Trend. Today's holes are plotted in plan and along updated Section 23-7N(4).

Highlights: Core hole AT23NS-54C intercepted 6.14 g/t Au and 79.3 g/t Ag over 30.7m and was sited to collect mineralized silica breccia occurring along the West Atlanta Fault ("WAF") for the ongoing Phase II metallurgical testwork program. The WAF forms the fault boundary between the Atlanta Mine Fault Zone ("AMFZ") on the east and the West Atlanta Graben Zone ("WAGZ") on the west. Angle holes AT24NS-174B (3.08 g/t Au over 48.8m) and AT24NS-174C (4.15 g/t Au over 35.1m) were designed to infill a gap in drill coverage along the western side of the AMFZ and also track the southern extension of the northerly-trending high-grade intrusive contact in the hanging wall of the WAF that was intercepted in adjacent holes along lines both north and south of Section 23-7N(4).

These closely-spaced angle holes clearly demonstrate a consistent 60o to 70o west dip to this mineralized zone that likely served as the Atlanta deposit's main hydrothermal flue (or feeder) along the WAF. The zone is between 15m and 20m true thickness and is bounded on the east by massive Eureka Quartzite. Mineralization is hosted within strongly silicified fault and hydrothermal breccias mixed with silicified volcanics and narrow intrusive dikes.

The highest gold grades tend to occur along contacts with silicified porphyritic rhyolite dikes. This high-grade, intrusive dominated zone looks to vear NW and pinch out but remains open to the south where it appears to widen and curve southwestward and possibly connect to more high-grade intercepts along Section 22-4N. Gold mineralization thickens and flattens moving westward and eastward from this WAF feeder zone as the hydrothermal fluids migrated laterally into receptive volcanic and intrusive host rocks within the adjacent WAGZ as well as along the low-angle unconformity separating younger volcanics and intrusions from underlying Paleozoic basement rocks in the AMFZ.

The silica breccia unit hosting most of the mineralization along the fault was originally interpreted as having formed along the sub-horizontal unconformity and subsequently down dropped in a step-like manner across the fault zone. However, recent re-logging of drill data revealed that much of the silica breccia within this steeply dipping structure is intensely silicified, brecciated rhyolitic intrusive rock as opposed to strongly silicified dolomitic rock underneath the unconformity. Trace element enrichment in chromium coupled with depletion of titanium and magnesium within the silica breccia confirm a largely rhyolitic host rock (prolith).

Understanding this direct relationship between rhyolitic intrusions and high-grade gold mineralization could be a key indicator for understanding and potentially targeting gold distribution throughout the Atlanta district. All RC samples from the Atlanta Project are split at the drill site and placed in cloth and plastic bags utilizing a nominal 2kg sample weight. CRF standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted into the sample stream on-site on a one-in-twenty sample basis, meaning all three inserts are included in each 20-sample group.

Samples are shipped by a local contractor in large sample shipping crates directly to American Assay Lab in Reno, Nevada, with full custody being maintained at all times. At American Assay Lab, samples were weighed then crushed to 75% passing 2mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in order to produce a 300g pulverized split. Prepared samples are initially run using a four acid + boric acid digestion process and conventional multi-element ICP-OES analysis.

Gold assays are initially run using 30-gram samples by lead fire assay with an OES finish to a 0.003 ppm detection limit, with samples greater than 10 ppm finished gravimetrically. Silver samples that run greater than 100ppm are also finished gravimetrically. Every sample is also run through a cyanide leach for gold with an ICP-OES finish.

The QA/QC procedure involves regular submission of Certified Analytical Standards and property-specific duplicates.
