Vancouver, B.C… Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) – (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) announces it has received assay results from an additional two holes from its 2017 Phase I drilling program at the Mother Lode project in southern Nevada (Table 1). The results for the Main Target area (Figure 1) are continuing to confirm the Upper and Lower Zones of the deposit as well as the down dip extension of the high-grade Mother Lode Structural Zone.The Company believes that these new results, along with ongoing geologic studies show that both the Upper and Lower Zones are related to the same gold system and directly tie to the unique Mother Lode intrusive center.The system can best be characterized as a Miocene aged sediment hosted deposit similar to those of north central Nevada, although at a younger age.

The Company’s new drilling, in combination with the existing 172-hole historic drill database was used to construct a series of grade shells that have revealed a clearer view of the overall mineral system.These grade shells are shown in Figures 1 through 3 with the current drilling results plotted.The Upper Zone results compare well to the prior resource model and highlight a continuous sediment hosted zone of mineralization both laterally and along strike.The new Lower Zone of mineralization is also showing good continuity from hole to hole.Host rocks in both zones are predominantly calcareous sediments and intrusive dikes and sills with the Lower Zone dominantly oxide.

The key structural controls on the Mother Lode mineralizing system and its associated intrusives are the north dipping Fluorspar Canyon Fault (FCF) and the north trending, west dipping Mother Lode Structural Zone.The unique intersection of these two-major regional structures has created a large area of strong fracturing and facilitated the emplacement of several dikes and sills which were contemporaneous with the gold mineralization. The high-grade Mother Lode Structural Zone commonly has dikes within it, as does the FCF.In addition, regional structural work and down hole geochemistry suggests that there could be repeated mineralized bodies at depth to the northwest of the old Mother Lode pit, which is currently being tested with a series of deep holes.

Phase I – Mother Lode Significant Drilling Results – Main Target 

(Reported intercepts are not true widths as there is currently insufficient data to calculate true orientation in space. Mineralized intervals are calculated using a 0.3 g/t and 1 g/t cutoff)

Jeff Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus states “These ongoing results and recent geologic work on the property by Dr. Richard Sillitoe are beginning to highlight a new sediment hosted gold system in Nevada.  We believe that this deposit is actually one large intrusive driven gold system with multiple large sediment hosted bodies of +1 g/t gold which are currently unconstrained.  This new, near surface, high-grade, gold system has potential to expand significantly with our current drill program.”
