Here is some more background to the recent news release of the pending 2014-15 exploration programs.

Summary: This past winter’s analysis of previous exploration programs and the integration of recently surfaced information (as described below) has given us greater confidence in the prospect of finding the high grade cores in the Iceberg that are usually associated with similar Carlin-type gold deposits of the Cortez such as Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush.

Details: In March of this year our exploration team witnessed Barrick’s Nevada exploration team (largely assembled by NuLegacy’s Corporate Advisor Mr. Alex Davidson during his tenure as Barrick Gold’s VP of Exploration & Corporate Development) receive the prestigious Thayer Lindsley Award (worth viewing) for the discovery of the multi-million ounce Goldrush gold deposit that is just across the valley from NuLegacy’s Iceberg gold deposit.

We also attended the Barrick exploration team’s presentation on the Goldrush discovery process as they generously shared their updated understanding of the geology of the Goldrush and other Carlin-type gold deposits.

As a result of this past winter’s analysis we had re-logged all the holes and in light of this newly acquired information we have re-analyzed the entire NuLegacy geologic database. This is part of our ongoing effort to improve the probability of finding the high grade cores that contribute to making the Cortez Carlin-style deposits such prizes.

All this ongoing re-analysis and integration of shared information has confirmed our view that:

• The Iceberg gold deposit’s geology is very similar to that of the nearby Barrick Goldrush deposit which contains a reported resource of 15.6+ millionⁱ ounces of gold. The gold in the Goldrush is hosted in the ‘contact zone’ between the Devonian Horse Canyon and the Devonian Wenban (Unit 8) carbonate horizon [‘HC-W8’] and also in the lower Wenban (Unit 5) carbonate horizon as it is in the Iceberg.
• To date, NuLegacy’s exploration focus has been the near-surface oxidized gold mineralization in the HC-W8 ‘contact zone’ which comes to within a few tens of meters of the surface in the Iceberg. Sufficient favorable geology and extensions have been identified in the Iceberg’s contact zone to indicate a potential near-surface oxide gold exploration target of 90 to 110 million tonnes grading between 0.70 g/t and 1.00 g/t of goldⁱⁱ.
• Also our reinterpretation of the geology indicates there are two ages of over-lying volcanics at the Iceberg: a 35 million year old dacite and sedimentary unit that hosts worthwhile grades of gold and a younger partially over-lying 13 million year old basalt flow that is barren of gold.

Thus we are fortunate to have multiple gold-bearing horizons!

This year’s exploration programs are designed to find the higher grade oxide and/or sulphide cores in the lower Wenban 5 unit in the Iceberg while affirming a ‘threshold’ resource of 1.5+ million ounces of goldⁱⁱⁱ within the upper contact zone. As well we will be exploring the other Carlin-type targets we have – VIO, Avocado and the Jasperoid basin in preparation for drilling them later this fall and next spring.

Thus we are fortunate to have multiple targets!

One last parting point:

• In the 2013 program the twinning of three historical holes with NuLegacy holes returned gold grades (in NuLegacy’s holes) that are notably higher than the historical holes. This is attributable to today’s better drilling technology and sample collection practices. If our 2014 drilling program confirms this then the grades used to calculate the potential ‘exploration target’ and any subsequent NI 43-101 resource would need to be adjusted.

This drilling program should position our company to execute its’ exit strategy which includes enrolling an industry partner to create some ‘competitive tension’.

Altogether it promises to be an exciting 2014. Thank you for your continued support. Please contact me if you have any further questions.
