Exploring Gold In West Africa & Canada

Nexus Gold Corp. (TSX.V: NXS) is a Canadian-based gold exploration and development company with a portfolio of 11 projects in Canada and West Africa.

Within Canada the company has 6, 100% owned projects in 3 provinces with over 5,000 hectares (50-sq km) of prospective ground, in premier mining districts. Based on previous data, historical drilling suggests high-grade mineralization potential of gold, copper, and silver targets.

Within West Africa the company has district scale land packages of over 75,000 hectares (750-sq Km), located in proven and prolific gold belts. These assets have completed multiple drill programs, and have established multiple mineralized zones.

Currently the company is undergoing a 3,000m drill program on their 100% owned Dakouli 2 gold concession - 9,800 hectares (98-sq km) located in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The Dakouli 2 permit is located in the Goren greenstone belt, proximal to Nordgold's Bissa mine, and is bisected by the gold-bearing Sabce shear zone. Bissa has grown into a world-class mine and is the largest Nordgold operation in West Africa, reaching its full production capacity in just two months following launch. It is a multiple open-pit operation using a simple process flowsheet with robust Carbon-in-Leach (“CIL”) design well suited to the treatment of free milling gold. Nordgold is a private company owned by Russian Billionaire Alexey Mordashov and his sons, Kirill and Nikita, with a stake of approximately 99.94% in the Company.

To date 40 grab samples have been recovered from Dakouli 2 by Company geologists, with 11 of the 40 grab samples assaying in excess of 10 g/t Au, including, in addition to the sample noted above, high-grade grab samples of 27.5, 29.5, 12.4, 11.1, 17.6, 10.8, 10.9, 12.8 and 49.7 g/t Au.

"We have a large area with multiple target zones to drill; this is just the start," said president and chief executive officer Alex Klenman. "Dakouli is a compelling project for discovery and this is the first time it's been drilled. It contains a lot of positives you like to see prior to putting a drill down. The mineralized footprint, as defined by the artisanal mining presence, is significant. With the pandemic affecting travel, it's taken a few extra days to get the crew situated in country and at the site, but we're ready to go," continued Mr. Klenman.

In Canada, Nexus Gold has been developing their McKenzie Gold Project in Red Lake, Ontario. The Company recently conducted two drill campaigns on the 1,398.5-hectare project. Based on historical drilling, it has already confirmed the presence of narrow, gold-bearing veins in the St. Paul’s Bay region of the southernmost section of the property. The first phase drill program intercepted (see Company news release dated August 18, 2020):

· 1.5m length assaying between 3.42 g/t Au to 7.43 g/t Au,

· 2.75m of 13.25 g/t Au (including 1m of 36.2 g/t Au)

The second phase of this drill program recovered two significant, lengthy mineralized intercepts, including (see Company news release dated September 3, 2020):

· 117.4m of .33 g/t Au (including 9.4m of 1.26 g/t Au),

· 117.5m of .62 g/t Au (including 55.5m of 1 g/t Au, including 16m of 1.42 g/t Au),

·  6m of 2.37 g/t Au

After completion of the successful phase two drill program, Nexus Gold has identified a second style of gold mineralization at McKenzie Gold. It is also notable that this type of mineralization more closely resembles Premier Gold Mines’ (TSX: PG) nearby past-producing Hasaga Mine, located approximately five kilometers east of McKenzie, which is estimated to host and Indicated mineral resource of 1.12M ounces of gold grading .83 g/t Au*. Premier Gold is currently trading at $2.56, with 237M shares outstanding, giving it a market cap of $606M as of today.

Currently the company has 94.8M shares outstanding. As of today, (TSX.V: NXS) traded last at $0.05, giving it a market cap of $4.75M. The 52 week high/low is $0.14/$0.025 respectively.

Management is extremely well versed in exploration and development assets.
