Kelly Creek Project2016-17 Shallow RC Sampling Results

Marigold(8.2 Moz)

Lone Tree(4.6 Moz)

Gold in groundwater

Based on the combined gravity, air magnetic,seismic, CSAMT, and early orientation drill holes,Nevada Exploration confirmed the favourable hostunits and structural controls associated with LoneTree and Marigold project northwards to the KellyCreek Project area, under relatively shallow cover

The 2016-17 shallow RC drilling defined discreteNNW zones of enriched gold in bedrock andgroundwater bounded by the primary N-Sstructural fabric that runs north from Marigold,consistent with the geometry of zones ofstructural extension (Riedel-style shears) thatprovide important mineral-controls at many ofNevada’s major gold deposits.

Kelly Creek ProjectJuly 2020: NGE optioned project to Austin Gold Corp.Terms:

• To earn a 51% JV interest, Austin Gold must spend $5M within four years

• Austin Gold can earn an additional 19% interest (for a total of 70%), by delivering a prefeasibility study

• At NGE’s election, Austin Gold to provide NGE’sportion of any debt financing or arrange for third party financing of NGE’s portion of any debt financing to construct a mine in exchange for additional 5%

• If a party is diluted to a 10% interest in the joint venture, its interest will be converted to a 10% net profits interest

Austin’s Executive Chairman, Joe Ovsenek(former Pretium Resources Inc. CEO):“Kelly Creek is one of only a handful of district-scale Carlin-type gold projects not currently controlled by the majors. SSR Mining’s recent drilling success at nearby Trenton Canyon highlights the potential to discover new mineralization within the Battle Mountain Mining District, and is bringing new attention to the area. Now that the definitive agreement is signed, we’re looking forward to working with Nevada Exploration to integrate their comprehensive exploration dataset with the latest research on the district, and we’re gearing up to get on the ground.”

Grass Valley ProjectResults & PlansWork to date has established evidence that the complex structural controls associated with Cortez are also present along western edge of Grass Valley.

This favourable structural setting is coincident with both potentially favorable host rocks as well as enriched concentrations of gold and supporting trace-element geochemistry in groundwater, soils, and vegetation, as well as historic drilling.

Based on the combined datasets, the Company believes the Project exhibits the features and the scale of a potentially gold-bearing hydrothermal system consistent with a large CTGD.

Nevada Exploration expects next phase of work will consist of a series of stratigraphic orientation drill holes to test for a large Carlin-type hydrothermal mineral system.
