Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 29, 2018) – Great Bear Resources (TSXV: GBR) (the “Company” or “Great Bear”, TSX-V: GBR) today reported results from drilling of the Dixie Limb Zone (“DLZ”) completed during the Company’s summer 2018 drill program, and designed to test continuity of gold mineralization to depth. The DLZ is a multi-kilometre gold-mineralized contact that is located north of Great Bear’s recent high grade gold discoveries at the Hinge and South Limb Zones, and was the target of most historical drilling.
Great Bear also reports that 15 additional drill holes have now been completed in the Hinge and South Limb Zones (“SLZ”). Results are expected in one to two weeks and are not included in this news release.
Great Bear has systematically surveyed 108 historical drill collars and completed gyroscopic downhole surveys of 66 historical drill holes within the DLZ to-date. Results indicate many historical holes were mis-located, with maximum deviations approaching 100 metres, and historical drill directions deviated significantly from plan due to magnetic host rocks. These errors led to incorrect historical interpretations including that gold mineralization in the DLZ occurred in en-echelon lens-like zones lacking vertical continuity.
The Company tested vertical continuity of the DLZ’s gold mineralization with a series of 9 drill holes from 26 metres to 365 metres depth. All holes tested areas previously interpreted as unmineralized and cited as lacking geological continuity. All holes successfully intersected gold mineralization.
Highlights of the latest 9 drill holes testing the DLZ include:
Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “While much of the past exploration work at Dixie was high quality, later interpretations of zone geometries were hampered by incorrect data. Using oriented drill core and gyroscopic surveys, we have cut through the effects of the magnetic background rocks which skewed past drilling and observe a consistent mineralized zone at the DLZ structure, including several steeply-plunging high-grade zones. This mineralization is open along strike and at depth. While more than 360 metres of continuity is a strong start, gold deposits in Red Lake often extend to kilometres of depth, and from that perspective we are only just scratching the surface of this zone’s potential.”
The most recent drill results are provided in Table 1. Highlighted results from the 2.3 kilometres of strike length of the DLZ drilled to-date are provided in Table 2. A summary of results of ongoing historical drill hole surveying is provided in Table 3. An updated long section of the DLZ including names and locations of various high-grade zones that will be targeted during the current drill program are provided in Figure 1. A map of current drill collars is provided in Figure 2.

| Lorimer Wilson January 24, 2011 $5,000 Gold Bandwagon Now Includes 85 Analysts! More and more economists, analysts and financial writers, 125 in fact, have taken the bold step of projecting the price at which gold will achieve its parabolic peak with 5 individuals claiming that the peak price will be realized sometime in 2011. Some have adjusted their previous prognostications higher given gold’s strong advance again in 2010 while others have jumped aboard what has become a bandwagon of optimism. The majority (85) maintain that $5,000 or more for gold is possible. These 5 Analysts Believe Gold Will Reach Parabolic Peak Sometime in 2011
These 6 Analysts See Gold Price Going Parabolic to +$10,000
These 46 Analysts See Gold Price Peaking Between $5,001 and $10,000
These 34 Analysts Believe Gold Price Could Go As High As $5,000
These 27 Analysts Believe Gold Will Achieve a Parabolic Peak Price Between $3,000 and $4,999

There seems to be one name missing from the list. All those SWAGS have missed one important element. When you are talking about the price of gold, you are talking about two commodities, gold and whatever currency you are quoting the price in.
If you can’t predict the value of the dollar in the future with accuracy, you cannot predict the price of gold either.
Maybe they should have read what I think about “Experts” and “Gurus” in Nobody Knows Anything.
You should buy gold when it is cheap and unloved. You should then sell it when it is expensive and everyone loves it.

IG Copper Strategic Investment
EMX received its initial cash distribution of US $65.15 million from IG Copper LLC’s (“IGC”) sale of the Malmyzh project (“Malmyzh” or the “Project”) located in Far East Russia[1]. EMX’s strategic investment in IGC resulted from the Company’s recognition of Malmyzh in 2011 as an early-stage copper-gold porphyry opportunity with excellent discovery potential. EMX took a disciplined investment approach by backing IGC’s steady advancement of the Project over the years. This work included the early-stage exploration work that led to the discovery of the Malmyzh district, and the drill intensive programs that progressed the Project through resource definition and approvals in the Russian Federation. The execution of these programs, with strong financial and management backing from EMX, culminated in the sale of Malmyzh to Russian Copper Company for US $200 million, of which US $190 million has been released from escrow. The remaining US $10 million from the sale is being held in escrow, and subject to certain conditions, cash distributions of up to US $4 million will be made to EMX as funds are released over the next 12 months.
Royalty and Royalty Generation Properties
EMX’s royalty property interests include Leeville in Nevada, the Timok Project’s Cukaru Peki deposit in Serbia, and properties being advanced by operating companies in Turkey, the western U.S., and Scandinavia. EMX’s royalty generation programs are filling the mineral property pipeline with new acquisitions on open ground in geologically prospective regions.
North America. There are 38 properties in the portfolio, of which fifteen are royalties or optioned for an EMX royalty interest, as well as other consideration to the Company’s benefit. The Company advances the western U.S. royalty generation portfolio through its wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration (“BCE”).

Serbia. EMX has a 0.5% NSR royalty covering the Timok Project’s Cukaru Peki copper-gold deposit[10]. Nevsun Resources Ltd (“Nevsun”) controls the Timok Project’s high-grade Upper Zone (characterized by epithermal-style mineralization), and is in a joint venture with Freeport-McMoRan on the Project’s Lower Zone (characterized by porphyry-style mineralization). Nevsun announced a friendly, all cash agreement in Q3 to be acquired by Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd. of China for US $1.41 billion[11].

Nevsun filed a technical report on the initial inferred resource for the Lower Zone porphyry project of 1.659 billion tonnes averaging 0.86% copper and 0.18 g/t at a “dollar equivalent” cut-off of US $25/tonne[12]. The Lower Zone porphyry “ranks high in grade, size and contained metal for porphyry copper deposits worldwide” according to Nevsun. Nevsun’s technical report also included the previously announced Upper Zone Pre-Feasibility Study that outlined a 10 year mine life yielding approximately 1.7 billion pounds of payable copper and 516 thousand ounces of payable gold[13]. Initial Upper Zone production is estimated by Nevsun to be in 2022. Nevsun has stated that “There are multiple high grade Upper Zone style exploration targets above the Lower Zone and our exploration licenses have the potential to host entirely new porphyry systems with associated high grade Upper Zone style mineralization.”
EMX’s royalty properties in the Timok Magmatic Complex add significant upside potential from one of the world’s top copper development projects.
Scandinavia. EMX’s portfolio in Scandinavia totals over 35 royalty and royalty generation properties in Sweden and Norway. The Company has converted multiple properties to royalty and equity interests, while adding value via early-stage exploration to royalty generation properties that are available for partnership.

VANCOUVER , Nov. 26, 2018 /CNW/ – NxGold Ltd. (“NxGold” or the “Company“), (TSXV: NXN) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration program at the Mt. Roe Project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia . The Company has recently completed a follow-up phase to the initial anomalous stream sediment samples continuing its systematic approach to target area identification and drill target refinement at the Mt Roe Project. This follow-up work included additional stream samples, gridded soil samples and rock (grab) samples.
A total of 47 stream silt samples (see Figure 1 and Table 1) were collected following up on the initial encouraging results which identified numerous target areas including an approximately 1.2 km long section of the Sholl ridge, host to the Eagle, Kangaroo and Bulldog target areas and coincident with a large magnetic high feature identified from the detailed UAV-magnetics survey (details of which are described in the News Release dated 15 October 2018 ). As a result of this recent sampling, the target areas have been further refined to approximately a 500m , 350m and 250m section of the Eagle, Bulldog and Kangaroo target areas, respectively. Assay results from gridded soil samples from the Eagle area are pending. The Eagle area is expected to be a primary focus for drill targeting given the presence of the magnetic high anomaly, coincident stream anomalies and high-grade rock (grab) samples.
The Hawk , Swan and Sun target areas were expanded by the additional stream samples. Results from the gridded soil samples are pending from the Hawk and Swan areas. Additional work is required to better understand controls of the anomalous stream sample distribution.
The areas chosen for grid-based soil sampling utilised an 80 m line spacing and 40 m sample spacing with lines oriented to the north-west with a total of 139 soil samples being collected (Figure 1). The target areas of initial interest include the Hawk area (26 samples) located near the known “80oz” prospector’s patch, the Eagle area (86 samples) where earlier trenching programs exposed a gold bearing structure, and the Swan area (27 samples), which hosts numerous gold nugget patches and structures exposed in trenching that returned anomalous gold and copper values (see the News Release dated September 10, 2018 ). Assay results from this work program are pending.
Christopher McFadden , Chief Executive Officer commented, “In a relatively short period of time since acquiring the property this year, our team has evaluated the property for different mineralisation styles and advanced to the drill target delineation stage through the systematic exploration of the Mt Roe tenements. This approach will also be used to evaluate the Prinsep tenements and the pending tenements on Mt. Roe which are expected to be granted shortly. The identification of vein structures in the Eagle, Hawk and Swan areas among others, supports the existence of primary gold mineralisation on the property. “
UAV Orthophotography and Magnetics Survey
Images from this survey are available on the Company’s website (www.nxgold.ca).
Initial program on Prinsep tenements
A total of 7 stream sediment samples were collected and a soil grid with 80 m line spacing and 80 m sample spacing was sampled for 60 samples collected. This was an initial work program focused on historical areas worked by prospectors using metal detectors. Results from this program remain pending.
Next Steps
Upon compilation of all the work completed this year-to-date, NxGold believes it will be in a position to complete a target prioritisation review to prepare for scout-drilling that will test the continuity of known conglomerate and prospective gold target areas.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
About NxGold
NxGold is a Vancouver-based exploration company. The Company owns 80% of the Mt. Roe gold project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Company has also entered into an earn-in agreement with Meliadine Gold Ltd. to earn up to a 70% interest in the Kuulu Project (formerly known as the Peter Lake Gold Project) in Nunavut .
Technical Disclosure
The on-going sampling programs of stream sediments, soils, rocks and chip samples involve a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that includes the collection of field duplicates and insertion of certified reference materials at frequency of roughly one in ten samples. Rock samples, stream samples and some chip samples are selective in nature and are not representative of mineralisation on the property. All samples have been sent to Intertek Genalysis in Perth , WA for preparation and analysis. Rock and chip samples were analysed using a 50g fire assay for gold and a 10g aqua regia, 32-element inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (‘ICP-OES’). Samples with visible gold or returning >10 g/t gold by fire assay are subject to a screen fire assay analysis. Stream sediment samples were analysed using 1000g bulk leach extractable gold analysis with Leachwell accelerant followed by ICP-MS with a 10g sample split for aqua regia 32 element ICP-OES analyses.
Stream samples were field screened fine fraction (minus 80 mesh) with a collected mass of 10-12kgs. Soil samples were field screened to minus 4mm with a collected mass of approximately 4kg. All samples were split by a two-tier riffle splitter in a secure storage facility into a laboratory sample and a retained reference sample.
NxGold advises that the Mt Roe Gold project is an early stage exploration project utilising an evolving gold deposit model for a paleo-placer style of mineralisation. Abundant exploration work is required to understand the previously unrecognised sedimentary geology and confirm if the source(s) of the coarse gold is located within NxGold Ltd.’s tenements. There is no certainty of the discovery nor definition of a mineral resource.
