[{"type":"text","content":" RENO, Nev., May 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nevada Exploration Inc. (“NGE” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NGE; OTCQB: NVDEF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2019 field program at its South Grass Valley Project (the “Project”). NGE plans to use a combination of diamond core drill holes, reverse circulation drill holes, and soil sampling to add geologic, geochemistry, and stratigraphic information, both within and beyond the limits of its recently-completed Phase 1 drilling program, with the objectives of: (1) establishing the extent and size of the mineralized Carlin-type hydrothermal system at the Project; and (2) prioritizing targets for infill drilling. A core drill rig has mobilized to the Project and has begun drilling at drill site SGVC009, located 600 metres north of the northernmost Phase 1 drill holes, beneath coincident gold-in-groundwater and mercury-in-soil anomalies along the NNW projected extension of the Carlin-type system discovered during the Phase 1 drilling. As described in more detail in the Company’s news release dated May 16, 2019, based on the results of the Phase 1 drilling, NGE has built a geologic model that domains the Project into smaller target areas, and suggests significant potential to identify additional targets. Driven by this model, with this next phase of exploration NGE plans to add stratigraphic and geologic information beyond the limits of the Phase 1 drill holes, and to increase the density of geochemistry samples across all areas of the Project, together for the purpose of selecting and prioritizing targets for detailed in-fill drilling. Wade Hodges, NGE’s CEO, discusses the upcoming program: “With more than three kilometres of strike length that still remains open, we see the potential for an entire new district here at South Grass Valley. To maximize this incredible upside, we plan to stick to our systematic approach to exploration that has brought us to this point. “Having discovered a new Carlin-type system, our plan now is to increase our data coverage to get a handle on how big the system is and on where the best parts of the system are to potentially support higher-grade mineralization. To answer these questions, we’re looking to complete a combination of: (1) relatively-deep oriented core holes to provide deep stratigraphic, structural, and geo...
