[{"type":"text","content":"Visionary Intersects 44.5 Metres of 0.23% Nickel in First Drill Program at King SolomonVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 6, 2023) - Visionary Gold Corp. (TSXV: VIZ) (\"Visionary\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that its 2022 exploration program resulted in a grassroots discovery of nickel-cobalt mineralisation at its King Solomon Prospect in Wyoming.Diamond drill hole KS22-003 intersected 44.5 metres (\"m\") of 0.23% nickel, 0.01% cobalt (from 87 m depth), including 17.0 m of 0.42% nickel, 0.23% cobalt and anomalous levels of precious metals. The nickel-cobalt values are associated with disseminated sulfides, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and possible pentlandite, violarite within intermediate and mafic intrusive rock units. \"We are thrilled that systematic regional exploration has led us to a significant new discovery of nickel and cobalt mineralisation in Wyoming,\" commented CEO Wes Adams.  \"These results confirm the effectiveness of exploration techniques used to evaluate our large land package within the under-explored Wyoming Craton, which has the potential to host multiple types of mineral deposits including copper-nickel-platinum group element deposits. Our primary focus in the immediate future will be to build on this high potential new nickel-cobalt discovery at King Solomon with more drilling. Ramped up regional exploration and potential drilling at our Lewiston-Miz gold target in 2023 are also being considered.\"Nickel and cobalt play a crucial role in emerging electrification and green energy technologies, and both are now listed as critical and strategic minerals by the United States Government. The King Solomon and Black Rock Prospects are located approximately 15 kilometres (\"km\") north of Jeffrey City, Wyoming along a well-traveled mining haul road. A high-tension power line and natural gas pipeline are immediately adjacent.Table 1.
