[{"type":"text","content":"NV Gold Confirms Potential Extension of Gold Mineralization at Slumber ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2021 / NV Gold Corporation (TSXV:NVX)(OTCQB:NVGLF)(Frankfurt:8NV) (\"NV Gold\" or the \"Company\") has confirmed the correlation of a \"low-resistivity zone\" with known alteration and possible gold mineralization at its 100% controlled Slumber Gold Project (\"Slumber\") located approximately 50 miles northwest of Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada, USA.The Q4-2021 drill program at Slumber has currently completed five RC (reverse circulation) drill holes totaling approximately 900 meters. The goal of this program is the confirmation of a reinterpreted geological model and correlation of alteration and possible gold mineralization with a low resistivity zone identified by last year's CSAMT work (see press release September 7th, 2021). The initial holes appear to confirm this previously untested concept.These initial holes have been visually encouraging, extending the zone of alteration by at least 500 meters to the north, while now demonstrating significant thickness as well (+150 m). All holes into the resistor zone have encountered highly-brecciated, silicified, hematitic rocks that remained in strong alteration at termination (see figure 1). Abundant groundwater has continued to be a depth-limiting factor for the RC equipment; therefore, the Company will limit the balance of this program to testing remaining shallower resistivity zones. Follow-up drilling will be dependent upon core rig availability. Initial analytical results from this program are expected to be received in mid to late January, depending upon laboratory constraints related to COVID and staffing.\"I am very pleased with these preliminary drilling results. This drilling campaign was designed to give Slumber an additional chance to move to a pre-discovery level. I am gratified to see these intensely silicified and brecciated rocks supporting the reinterpretation of the geological model. High grades would be a success, pointing towards a discovery. NV Gold will expand the geophysical coverage and utilize core drilling equipment to test the extensive and thick piles of mineralized silicified rock possibly containing high-grade sulfide feeders,\"commented Thomas Klein VP Exploration NV Gold.After the completion of the Slumber drilling the RC rig ...
