NevGold Corp. announce that it has identified high-grade copper, gold, and silver mineralization at surface at the newly staked Zeus Copper Project (?Zeus?, ?Zeus Project?) in the emerging Hercules Copper District of southwestern Idaho. The positive sampling results highlight the significant copper porphyry potential at Zeus.

Key Highlights: Positive high-grade copper, gold, and silver surface sampling results confirm the significant copper porphyry potential at the Zeus Copper Project: ZRS-07: 1.22% Cu, 8.19 g/t Au, and 21.9 g/t Ag; ZNR-01: 1.30% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, 11.3 g/t Ag; ZRS-03: 0.91% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au, 20.0 g/t Ag; ZRS-02: 0.86% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 9.9 g/t Ag; APF: 1.03 g/t Au, 114 g/t Ag. Strong similarities between Zeus and the Hercules Silver copper porphyry discovery at the Hercules Project continues to be highlighted with the results from the active field program. NevGold will continue its field program with further surface geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys to identify drill targets over the coming months.

The preliminary rock chip sampling by NevGold, as well as historical sampling (Henricksen, 1975) and compilation of geologic data, has identified at least five targets within the Zeus Project. This preliminary work indicates a large footprint of mineralization and potential for multiple copper porphyry producing intrusive centers. Thorn Springs: The Thorn Springs Target is the site of a large porphyry copper style alteration zone that was first identified by Henricksen (1975).

Sampling by Henricksen and NevGold (ZRS-07: 1.22% copper, 8.19 g/t gold, 21.9 g/t silver) has identified significant copper-gold-silver mineralization. The style of alteration, strong oxidation, and presence of copper minerals suggests that erosion has exposed the top of the copper-gold mineralization and that the deposit has experienced supergene enrichment, an important process in creating high-grade copper deposits. Thorn Springs has significant soil cover and poor outcrop exposure; these conditions may conceal a much larger mineralization footprint.

The use of modern exploration methods, including soil geochemistry and high-resolution geophysics, will be key to identifying mineralization that may have been missed by previous prospectors. A significant portion of the Thorn Springs Target is located on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (?BLM?) and could be drill tested with an Exploration Notice permit, which takes approximately 4-6 weeks to complete.
