Nexus Gold Completes Drilling at Niangouela NEXUS GOLD COMPLETES RAB DRILLING AT NIANGOUELA GOLD CONCESSION, BURKINA FASO, WEST AFRICA Nexus Gold Corp. (NXS.V) has completed its previously announced RAB (rotary air blast) drilling program at the 178-square-kilometre Niangouela gold concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa. The RAB drill program consisted of 30 holes totaling 802 meters and was conducted in a grid pattern to test the orientation and extent of a previously identified primary quartz vein. Historical assays of 5.93 g/t Au, 4.83 g/t Au, and 4.12 g/t Au over sample lengths of 2.0 metres respectively have been returned from trenching over the vein.

In addition recent rock samples taken from the dumps of local artisanal miners currently working the vein returned 2.49 g/t Au. The program was designed to test the top 30 meters of saprolitic rock. Samples were collected over three meter intervals and were shipped to Actlabs in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. 'We are really pleased with the speed and efficiency of this RAB program. The material we observed from the drilling allows us to roughly trace the trend of this vein. Once we get the assays back we hoping to identify potential shoots of higher grade mineralization,' states Senior Geologist Warren Robb, P.Geo.

About the Niangouela Gold Concession The Niangouela concession is located on the Boromo Greenstone Belt, same as the Company's Bouboulou Gold Concession, and is proximal to the Kalsaka deposit and the Sabce shear zone. It is road accessible and has one major orpaillage (artisanal workings).

To date 556 pits and 11 trenches have been excavated, and rock and soil samples have been taken. A total of 1,137 samples have been collected. Previous programs have identified a zone which runs ENE and WSW occurring in the south central part of the concession. This zone has returned gold in soil samples up to 34 g/t Au, rock samples have returned values up to 18 g/t Au, and trenching has returned values of 4.85 g/t Au over 10 meters.

I bought a position in this one, anyone else pick some up Good new out today, drilling underway 2016-12-14 09:21 ET - News Release Mr. Peter Berdusco reports NEXUS GOLD RAB DRILLING UNDERWAY AT NIANGOUELA GOLD CONCESSION, BURKINA FASO, WEST AFRICA Nexus Gold Corp.'

S RAB (rotary air blast) drilling at its Niangouela gold concession in Burkina Faso, West Africa, is now under way. Drilling began on Monday, Dec. 12, with 294 metres (11 holes) of the proposed 800-metre program so far completed.

The current RAB program is designed to investigate the potential of parallel or offset shears and recently observed quartz veins. Historical results showed areas of geochemical anomalies occurring proximal to the quartz veining. The program will consist of grid drilling on lines spaced at 200 metres with drill sites every 50 metres along the lines. The 178-square-kilometre concession is located on the Boromo greenstone belt, same as the company's Bouboulou gold concession, and is proximal to the Kalsaka deposit and the Sabce shear. It is road accessible and has one major orpaillage (artisanal workings).

To date, 556 pits and 11 trenches have been excavated, and rock and soil samples have been taken. A total of 1,137 samples have been collected. Previous programs have identified a zone which runs east-northeast and west-southwest occurring in the south-central part of the concession. This zone has returned gold-in-soil samples up to 34 grams per tonne (g/t) gold; rock samples have returned values up to 18 g/t gold and trenching has returned values of 4.85 g/t gold over 10 metres.

Bouboulou Gold Concession, Burkina Faso Trend Analysis Warren Robb, P.Geo The three trends located on the Bouboulou property are all components of the larger regional Sabce shear zone that trends north easterly across the Goren greenstone belt. Deposits occurring along this belt include the Bissa Hills deposit Proven and Probable reserves 48 million tonnes @1.33 grams per tonne gold, the Boully deposit proven and probable reserves of 73 million tonnes @0.56 grams per tonne, the Kalsaka deposit measured and indicated resource 12 million tonnes @1.6 grams per tonne, and the Bouda deposit inferred resource of 5 million tonnes @ 1.44 grams per tonne.

Identifies Three New 5000m Gold Trends Vancouver, Canada – October 27, 2016 – Nexus Gold Corp. ('Nexus' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: NXS / OTC: NXXGF) is pleased to report that it has completed its compilation of historic exploration data on the Bouboulou Gold Concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The compilation infills gaps in the exploration data that the Company had originally reviewed and displays three strong coincidental geochemical and geophysical anomalous gold trends. These new trends extend from the four drill-identified mineralized zones, namely Rawema, Peletanga, Bouboulou 2 and Koala. Each of the three trends extends in length for 5000 meters (5KM). They are identified by numerous orpaillages and geochemical samples of greater than 1 gram per tonne gold. The data used in the compilation includes airborne geophysics, rotary air blast drilling, geochemical sampling, reverse circulation drilling, diamond drilling and the location of orpaillages (zones of artisanal gold mining).

The compiled data reviewed consists of over 7000 assays collected between 2011 and 2012. From north to south the three trends are termed the PR, KB and B2. The northern most PR trend includes the Pelatanga and Rawema drill-identified mineralized zones and trends north east. This trend extends off the property onto the adjacent Bouda property and the mining operations conducted there. The second KB trend is roughly parallel to the PR trend and extends from the Koala drill-identified mineralized zone north east below the Bouboulou 2 drill-identified mineralized zone. The third B2 trend extends from an orpaillage located near the southern boundary of the property extending north and bisecting the KB trend and then extending through the Bouboulou 2 drill-identified mineralized zone culminating at the PR trend. The data will be utilized in assisting the upcoming phase one drill program and determining suitable step-out drill locations for potential conformation drilling at a later date.

Bouboulou Gold Concession The Bouboulou Gold concession is a near-surface, advanced stage gold exploration target located in a known gold belt, within a prolific and highly active area. The property has previously been drilled by Roxgold Inc, Riverstone Resources and Boliden. To date four zones of gold mineralization have been identified on the property. Bouboulou was held by Boliden in 1997 as part of a much larger land package. Boliden completed regional Rapid Air Blast ('RAB') drilling on the property, comprising 25,400 meters. Included in this total was infill drilling which defined a northeast trending gold anomaly measuring 13 km by 2 to 6 km wide.

The mineralization was described as disseminated sulphides in tuffs and dacites. Please or to join the conversation.

The mineralization was described as disseminated sulphides in tuffs and dacites. New zone at Bouboulou As reported in the Sept.

8, 2016, Nexus Gold news release, a new area of interest has been observed on the property due to an increase in artisanal mining activity. Upon the initial property visit, the company geologist noted a large orpaillage (area worked by artisanal miners). The zone being exploited by the orpilleurs is a shear hosted in meta-volcanics and meta-sediments with crosscutting quartz veins and stringers. The orpaillage extends for approximately 250 metres along strike with the Bouda orpaillage which is adjacent to the property and located along the Sabce shear zone. This same shear zone also hosts Norgold's Bissa Hills mine. Eight grab samples were taken from artisanal workings of the four known gold zones on the property in early September, 2016. As reported in the company news release of Sept.

27, 2016, six of the eight samples returned gold values, including 2.8 grams per tonne gold and 5.5 grams per tonne Au, respectively, at Bouboulou 2. Historical drill results Riverstone Resources completed several programs of regional and detailed geological mapping and sampling prior to the Roxgold work programs. Rock sampling and trenching within the Boliden anomaly returned gold grades from 1.09 grams per tonne to 19.16 grams per tonne. Riverstone also completed an induced polarization geophysical survey over the area of the highest gold values, and Roxgold drill tested a number of these targets. The attached tables represent historical drill results as reported by Roxgold.
