DEL MAR, Calif., Nov. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEVADA GOLD CORP (NVGC) -- It has come to the Company's attention that recently certain parties unrelated to the Company have been promoting our company's stock. We seek to clarify that we have not engaged in any such activity, and have no connections to or relationships with, anyone who would be engaging in the promotion of our stock. The promotional pieces that have been brought to our attention contain targets and projections that we feel are solely for promotional purposes and not based upon a realistic and comprehensive analysis of our company or our properties. Our operations are in the exploration stage. As an exploration stage mining enterprise, our focus must remain on developing our property interests to establish a commercially viable mineral resource. This is where our attention and funds will remain. All our efforts are focused on moving our operations forward and not on stock market promotional activity.
We are of the view that our press releases and disclosure documents accurately describe our assets, operations and proposed activities, and encourage potential investors to refer to such information. In addition, we strongly urge any prospective investors to obtain advice from a qualified investment professional prior to making any investment in our Company.
About Nevada Gold Corp
Nevada Gold Corp (NVGC) is a publicly traded US exploration company focused on precious metals targets in the gold rich area of North Eastern Nevada. To date, Nevada State has produced over 200 million ounces of gold with Nevada accounting for almost 84% of the US annual gold production. Most recently the company has acquired an option to earn a 75 percent interest in the former producing silver/lead and gold mine called the Diamond Jim Mine located in Northern Nevada State.
The Diamond Jim Mine in Elko County consists of 35 claims and is located in northeastern Nevada, 20 miles (32 km) south of the Idaho border, 69 miles (111 km) north of the city of Elko and 260 miles (418 km) northeast of the city of Reno. The property lies on the easterly end of the northeast-trending Midas trend, one of Nevada's several important epithermal gold belts. The Midas trend hosts a number of significant to world-class gold districts such as Midas-Ken Snyder Mine and the Jerritt Canyon Mine (recently produced its 8 millionth ounce of gold). These mines produce mainly from epithermal vein systems favorable for small but profitable high-grade operations and Carlin-type sediment-hosted deposits amenable to large-scale open-pit bulk mining.
Nevada Gold Corp plans to conduct an initial surface exploration program as well as seek a permit to reopen the old mine workings to verify pervious exploration results. In addition to the Diamond Jim property the company also has an option on another gold property located in Nevada's Long Canyon Gold Trend.
