About NuLegacy: NuLegacy Gold Corporation is a Nevada based exploration company focused on expanding its Carlin-style near-surface Iceberg oxide gold deposit with an established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to 1.1 grams of gold per tonneⁱ, and exploring for additional gold deposits on its 38 sq. mile (98 sq. km) Red Hill property located in the Cortez gold trend of Nevada.

The Iceberg gold deposit has similar geology to that of Barrick Gold’s multi-million-ounce Pipeline deposit the discovery of which is credited to NuLegacy’s Chief Geoscience Officer, Dr. Roger Steininger. The Iceberg is located on trend and adjacent ⁱⁱ to three of Barrick Gold`s multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick’s lowest cost and politically safest gold assetsⁱⁱⁱ.

ⁱ These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 34 NuLegacy drill holes in and around the Iceberg deposit. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

ⁱⁱ The similarity and close proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in the Iceberg deposit.

ⁱⁱⁱ As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports.
