“We are very pleased with the support from our existing and new shareholder base and the level of interest with a financing that was well over our minimum target.

We now look forward to commencing our field programs at the Limousine Butte, Cedar Wash, and Ptarmigan properties over what will be a very active remainder of 2021 for NevGold”. - Brandon Bonifacio, President, CEO, and Director of NevGold
