Atlanta Gold Mine Recently Completed RC Holes

VANCOUVER - Nevada King Gold Corp. reported on the 32 reverse circulation (RC) holes recently completed at its Atlanta Gold Mine Project located 264km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the Battle Mountain Trend. This drilling includes eight holes designed to further define the high-grade Atlanta Mine Fault Zone ("AMFZ") at the bottom of the historical Atlanta pit, together with 24 shallow holes drilled to test waste dumps from previous mining north and west of the historical pit.

Cal Herron, Exploration Manager, said, “The RC holes located at the bottom of the Atlanta Pit were positioned to firmly establish the location and attitude of the AMFZ's eastern boundary, prior to initiating the deeper drilling now underway to the west on the high-grade zone's down-dip extension. We now have a much better understanding of how the Atlanta gold deposit formed, of the host geology and of the controls on the spatial distribution of gold mineralization that is significantly enhancing our drill targeting. The Company has been rehabilitating benches in the historical pit over the past four months, work that will facilitate drilling of critical structures that were inferred from deep angle holes drilled by previous operators from sites west of the pit. Drilling these structures with predominantly vertical holes will make for a much more accurate structural interpretation and be significantly more cost effective compared to the historical angle holes. Many of the historical holes suffered from poor recovery or failed to fully penetrate the mineralized zones and vertical drilling from these sites should significantly improve recovery particularly in high-grade target areas. Prior operators were likely impeded by access and core recovery issues and we are looking at more thoroughly testing these high-grade target areas."
