Gold News

Reno, Nevada. April 19, 2023, Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (OTC Markets: NGLD) (The “Company” or “Nevada Canyon”) is pleased to announce that planning is complete for the Company’s Phase I exploration program on the Swales Property, located the Swales Mountain Mining District in Elko County, Nevada.

Phase I of the Swales exploration program will consist of reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, surface trenching, sampling and the relocation of historical workings on the property. This initial Phase I exploration program will provide accurate modern data to assist in the planning of the Phase II exploration program later in 2023. That will include a follow up ground based geophysical surveying program based on the results from Phase I. It is important to note the Swales Property remains very underexplored with very minimal recorded modern-day exploration. The Phase I program is expected to begin shortly when weather conditions (snow) will permit.

The Swales Property consists of 40 unpatented mining claims with a combined area of 800 acres. The Property is located within the Carlin Trend, one of the richest mining districts in the world, and home to some of the largest gold mines in the US. The property is approximately 13 miles northeast of Nevada Gold Mine’s Gold Quarry Mine and 16 miles east southeast of Nevada Gold Mine’s Goldstrike Mine, all of which are located along the gold rich Carlin Trend. There are currently eight producing gold mines within the Carlin Trend. Collectively, these mines have to date produced over 100 million ounces of gold (Nevada Bureau of Mines 2019) and still contain more than 21 million ounces of gold reserves. (Nevada Gold Mines, LLC Carlin Complex 2020) The project has excellent year-round access and infrastructure within Elko County, one of the most pro-mining counties in the pro-mining states and highest-grade gold districts of Nevada.

Geologically, the Swales Property is underlain by upper plate of the Roberts Mountains thrust with windows of the Lower plate of Roberts Mountains thrust, the ideal host rocks for a Carlin type gold deposit, similar to that encountered at Nevada Gold Mine’s Carlin Complex. These rocks have been intruded by Tertiary rocks identified as Monzonite porphyry to the west of the property with many prospects and historic mining. Much of the property is covered by alluvium, but silicified, iron stained jasperoids are found throughout the property where outcrops are exposed. Small gold anomalies occur in the upper plate rocks at Swales Mountain. This suggests the possibility of more extensive deposits in the lower Roberts Mountains thrust where it lies concealed by gravels or in the broken rock within the upper Roberts Mountains thrust, potentially geologically similar to that encountered at the adjacent Nevada Gold Mine’s Carlin Complex.

The Swales Property is located within the Carlin Trend, one of the richest mining districts in the world, and home to some of the largest gold mines in the USA.  Held by private interests for most of its history, the Swales Property remains very underexplored with minimal modern-day exploration. Several factors demonstrate the exceptional potential of this relatively unexplored project for new discoveries of significant mineralization on several exploration targets.

On Behalf of the Board,
