RENO, Nev., Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation reports that Mr. Charles G. Weakly has joined our geo-technical and exploration team as District Geologist. His addition will help accelerate our time table for achieving our goal of establishing a multi-million-ounce resource at our Red Hill property in Nevada.
Known in Nevada as ‘the gold finder,’ Mr. Weakly, BSc, Geo-Eng, has contributed significantly to the discovery of over ten million ounces of gold for Barrick Gold Corporation in several of their deposits in the Goldstrike district (19 years) and the Cortez district (3 years). The Cortez district has three established multi-million-ounce deposits immediately to the north-west of NuLegacy’s Red Hill gold property.
Mr. Weakly expects to help NuLegacy achieve its stated objective of “establishing a multi-million-ounce gold resource on the Red Hill property.” His enrollment is part of the ongoing expansion/acceleration of our geo-technical team’s capacity to follow up on the several discoveries made during the summer 2017 exploration program. We will likely add one, possibly two more geo-technical personnel during the winter to handle a much expanded 2018 drilling program.
“I’m very pleased that Charles has joined us,” said Albert Matter, NuLegacy’s Chairman. “It furthers our mission of expanding our world class exploration team to meet our exploration and corporate objectives.”

About NuLegacy Gold Corporation: NuLegacy is a Nevada exploration company focused on discovering additional Carlin-style gold deposits on its premier district scale 98-sq. km (38 sq. mile) Red Hill Project in the prolific Cortez gold trend of Nevada.
To date NuLegacy has discovered the Icebergi Carlin-style gold deposits and has identified several more highly prospective exploration targets that are being drilled this year.
NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project is located on trend and adjacentii to three multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits (the Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush deposits) that are amongst Barrick Gold’s largest, lowest cost and politically safest gold minesiii.
i An established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to 1.1 grams of gold per tonne. These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 111 NuLegacy drill holes. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
ii The similarity and proximity of these deposits in the Cortez Trend is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in NuLegacy’s Red Hill Project. To date, there are no known resources or reserves on the Red Hill Property.
iii As extracted from Barrick’s Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports.
