09:12 AM EST, 02/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nevada King Gold ( NKGFF ) on Thursday received a 'Finding of No Significant Impact' (FONSI), from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and approval from the State of Nevada for a minor modification to its existing plan of operations at the 100%-owned Atlanta Gold Mine Project along the Battle Mountain Trend, northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada.

A statement noted this is the second modification successfully permitted by the company and follows receipt of the first plan modification that was issued by the BLM in October 2024.

It said today's announced approval allows for 47 additional drill sites and 1.9km of new drill road construction throughout the Atlanta District.

"This new modification adds more holes and new road access in the southern half of the SQRT, while more holes and cross-country travel routes have been added to the Silver Park region. This now allows us to offset existing holes at closer spacings plus follow structural trends seen in the CSAMT data," said Nevada King Exploration Manager Cal Herron.

Current drilling largely involves following up on technical insights gained from the Phase II drilling in an effort to expand mineralization along the SQRT southward from the resource zone and find new satellite deposits elsewhere within the Atlanta District.
