NEVADA KING (NKG.V): BOLSTERS ITS TECHNICAL TEAM WITH APPOINTMENT OF THREE KEY EX-NEWMONT GEOLOGISTS: LEWIS TEAL, MAC JACKSON & MIKE BERSCH

VANCOUVER, BC, April 14, 2022 /CNW/ – Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) (“Nevada King” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it is bolstering its technical team with the addition of Lewis Teal as Chief Technical Advisor, as well as Mac Jackson and Mike Bersch as consulting geologists.

Highlights

• Mr. Lewis Teal, M.Sc., B.Sc. Geo, has accepted the role of Chief Technical Advisor to the Company. Mr. Teal has over 40 years, including 28 years with Newmont from 1988-2015, of experience in the mining industry. In his new role, Lew will focus on technical coordination of the Company’s current exploration and drilling programs and the initiation of new exploration activities across the Company’s full project portfolio, and he will oversee the transition of the Company’s Atlanta Gold Project into early-stage development.
• Mr. Mac Jackson, M.Sc., B.A. Geo, has accepted a consulting geologist role for Nevada King. Mr. Jackson led exploration teams as a senior geologist for Newmont Exploration contributing to the discovery of several multi-million ounce gold deposits in Nevada, including the Leeville (Newmont), Fiberline (Newmont) and North Dark Star (Gold Standard Ventures) deposits.
• Dr. Mike Bersch, Ph.D., Geo, has accepted a consulting geologist role for the Company. Dr. Bersch has over 40 years of experience in mineral exploration, most recently as part of Newmont Mining’s team on the Sabajo Gold Project, Suriname, and as Chief Geologist in South America.
• Both Mr. Jackson and Dr. Bersch will initially focus on a comprehensive relogging campaign of all available historical core and rotary drill holes from the Company’s Atlanta Gold Mine Project, then follow by updating the geological interpretation and the Company’s Atlanta District 3D modelling, both of which will incorporate the reinterpreted historic drilling and results from the 2021 and 2022 Nevada King drilling programs.
• As the Atlanta Project advances to early-stage development, the Company will use the new integrated 3D geologic model as the basis for an updated resource estimate and to proceed with feasibility studies with the objective of demonstrating positive project economics.

Collin Kettell, CEO of Nevada King, stated: “With Cal Herron as Exploration Manager, the recent addition of Gary Simmons as consulting metallurgist, and now Lewis Teal, Mac Jackson and Mike Bersch, as Chief Technical Advisor and consulting geologists, respectively, Nevada King has a technical team with a combined 150 years of knowledge, experience, and insights, importantly much of it in Nevada. Nevada King is now armed with an extensive land package along the Battle Mountain trend, a highly experienced management and technical team with a track record of discovery success, and is well financed to unlock the exploration potential of its Battle Mountain trend land holdings, including at its Atlanta Gold Mine, Iron Point, and Lewis projects.”
