09:09 AM EST, 12/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nevada King Gold ( NKGFF ) said Monday its exploration strategy for next year will revolve around its Phase 4 exploration program which includes an initial 20,000m of drilling at its Atlanta Gold Mine in southeast Nevada.

The program, which was announced earlier this month, will advance the Silver Park East discovery at the Atlanta project through infill drilling, to better evaluate its potential as a satellite oxide resource. Silver Part East was identified from the Phase 3 drilling which confirmed a broad zone of near-surface oxide gold and silver mineralization covering a 450 meters x 300 meters footprint.

The company will continue follow-up drilling at Atlanta South and Atlanta North along the West Atlanta Fault, the primary mineralizing structure at Atlanta; and advance the Western Rim target through additional geophysical surveys and initial drill testing. The Western Rim target was also identified during Phase 3 drilling.

"2025 was a transformational year for Nevada King. We significantly grew and improved the confidence of our resource base, demonstrated strong metallurgy, built a pipeline of new regional discoveries, and strengthened our leadership team. The Phase 3 exploration program exceeded expectations and Silver Park East now represents a compelling opportunity to continue to expand the resource base at Atlanta. As we move into 2026, we are fully funded for our Phase 4 drill program and remain focused on growing ounces while minimizing costs.," said chief executive John Sclodnick.
