(firmenpresse) - Vancouver, Canada - July 23, 2020 - Nexus Gold Corp. (Nexus or the Company) (TSX-V: NXS, OTCQB: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to provide a corporate update to shareholders regarding ongoing Company initiatives.
McKenzie Gold Project, Red Lake, Ontario
Phase one drilling was recently completed at the Companys 100% owned McKenzie Gold Project, located in Red Lake, Ontario. The phase one program totaled approximately 2000 meters of diamond drilling designed to test the mineralization potential of several gold targets occurring within an east-west trending corridor along the southern contact of the Dome Stock occurring within volcanic rocks of the Balmer Assemblage.
Historic drilling conducted in 2005 along this corridor returned significant values, including 7.49 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 8.2 meters, 15.54 g/t Au over 0.8m (includes 13.08 g/t over 0.3m and 17.02 over 0.5m), 4.47 g/t gold over 1.4m, and 2.15 g/t Au over 5.5m*.
The 100%-owned McKenzie Gold Project is a 1,400-hectare high-grade gold prospect located in the heart of the historic Red Lake gold camp, in western Ontario, Canada. Areas of high-grade gold mineralization have been established within the northern portion of the claim block (McKenzie Island), with significant gold values having been drilled along a 600-meter strike in the southern portion of the property (St. Pauls Bay area).
Assays from phase one are pending, with results expected by mid-August. Please note lab times are estimates.
