(\"Nexus\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:NXS), (OTC:NXXGF), (FSE:N6E) is pleased to announce assay results from its recent reconnaissance and sampling program conducted at the Company's 100%-owned, Dakouli 2 Gold Concession, located in Burkina Faso, West Africa. \n\n\n \nThe summer reconnaissance program was designed to both measure the current scope of artisanal activity and to prioritize target locations for the Company's maiden drill program, scheduled for later this fall. During the program Company geologists collected 10 rock samples from areas being exploited by artisanal miners (\"orpailleurs\"). A highlight result of 98.9 grams-per-tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") was returned from sample DK-0036. This sample was a select grab sample of material being mined by the orpailleurs from a depth of 40 meters below surface. A nearby sample of material which had undergone preliminary gold extraction by panning and a waiting a second round of panning returned results of 49.7 g/t Au. Select samples from proximal orpailleurs shafts from varying depths also returned elevated gold values of 12.8 g/t Au, 11.1 g/t Au, and 10.9 g/t Au, respectively. \n\n\n \n\"These additional samples continue to build a compelling case to drill Dakouli,\" said president & CEO, Alex Klenman. \"The volume of significant sample grades continues to grow. The main orpaillage is now well over 400 meters in an east-west strike, by 200 meters north-south, and the locals are down as much as 80 meters in the shafts. That's a significant mineralized footprint. Obviously, there's gold at Dakouli. We're eager to begin drilling to define just what the scope of the mineralization is in the main area, and to further define additional areas of interest on the project ground,\" continued Mr. Klenman\n\n\n \nResults from the Summer 2020 Reconnaissance Program are tabled below.\n\n \n\nSample ID\n\n\n\n\nUtm E\n\n\n\n\nU...
