Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd.: Due Diligence Underway on Two North American Gold Mines
1/7/04
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jan 7, 2004 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX) --
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased to provide a progress report on our due diligence on the recently announced acquisitions of two open pit gold mines in North America - the Magistral Mine in Mexico and the Castle Mountain Mine in the southern U.S.A. In 2003, these mines collectively produced 45,000 ounces of gold. In 2004 Nevada Pacific plans to aggressively explore and develop both mines and optimize the gold production. Cash flow from future gold production will create a solid foundation for the Company and fund gold exploration in Nevada.
The Company has retained several advisors to assist in the due diligence process, namely: Amec E&C Services Inc. (AMEC) as advisor for engineering and metallurgy, Price Waterhouse Coopers as advisor for accounting and financial issues and Koffman Kalef as legal advisors. Due diligence is at an advanced stage and completion of these acquisitions is expected in February 2004.
The Magistral Mine is located in Sinaloa State, Mexico some 100 kilometres northwest of the state capital of Culiacan and 40 miles east of the town of Guamuchil.[/b] The Magistral Mine commenced commercial production on January 1st, 2003 and to date has produced approximately 27,000 ounces of gold from total gold resources of 616,000 ounces.[/b] The mineral resource and reserve estimates for the Magistral deposit were prepared by Pincock, Allen and Holt (PAH) who were retained by a subsidiary of Queenstake. In the original 2001 feasibility report, Pincock, Allen and Holt projected that production would gradually increase to an annual rate of approximately 40,000 ounces of gold per year. The mine life is expected to be 8 years with gold recovery expected to be 73%.
A Letter Agreement has been signed between Nevada Pacific and Queenstake Resources Ltd. (`Queenstake`) (TSX Symbol QRL) for the purchase of Pangea Resources Inc., which owns 100% of the Magistral Mine. The purchase includes mineral concessions that total some 9,626 hectares together with certain surface rights, mine equipment, recovery plant and pads and related mine infrastructure.
The Castle Mountain Mine, located 105 kilometers south of Las Vegas, Nevada near the edge of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, is the subject of a Letter Agreement between Quest Capital and the Company for the purchase of 100% of Viceroy Resources Ltd. Viceroy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest and holds a 75% interest in the Castle Mountain Mine.
Following the recovery of 1.1 million ounces of gold, mining was curtailed in May of 2001. However, the operation of the leach pad continues and gold recovery during the years 2002 and 2003, amounted to 72,000 ounces. In 2003 the cash cost per ounce of gold produced was reported to average US$108.
Current capacity remains on the existing leach pad for a further 2 million tons of ore and can be extended within the presently permitted area to accommodate an additional 5 million tons. Significant exploration potential exists on the project for both open pit style mineralization (extending the life of the heap leach operation) and for higher grade mineralization to feed the 1000 ton per day mill on site.
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. was founded in March 1997. The Company`s property portfolio covers approximately 60 square miles of mineral rights including portions of two significant gold producing belts in the State of Nevada. The Company`s BMX project is optioned to Placer Dome. A description of these projects, including maps and photographs can be viewed on the Company`s website at: www.nevadapacificgold.com.

They are doing drilling this fall, 2003, as they just did a $2.5 million private placement, and another $10 million private placement in late November. On the website, for David Hottman`s bio, it says he was a founding member of Eldorado gold.

Now that they are well-capitalized with over $10 million dollars, this company will likely do very well as they drill and prove up the deposits across all their properties.

Discovering value in natural resource stocks
Interim Update
Nevada Pacific Gold
(NPG-TSXV; NVPGF-OTC BB)
Nevada Pacific entered into agreements last month to acquire two gold mines. The significance of those deals, announced just before Christmas and New Year`s, respectively, have not yet been fully appreciated by investors.
Nevada Pacific is buying 100% of the Magistral mine in Sinaloa, Mexico from Queenstake Resources (QRL-T). That company brought the Magistral mine into production a year ago, but the project became less important to Queenstake after it bought the 300,000 ounce per year Jerritt Canyon mine in Nevada.
Nevada Pacific`s Magistral acquisition, due to close in February (subject to due diligence) involves the payment of $4 million and 2 million Nevada Pacific shares at closing and a further $3 million payment after six months. Last year, 1.05 million tons of ore containing 45,000 ounces of gold was placed on leach pads. To year end, 27,000 ounces of gold had been leached from the ore. That implies that 18,000 ounces of gold remains on the leach pads (however it is not certain how much of the gold will be recoverable).
The Magistral project has a total resource of 616,000 ounces of gold presently outlined and additional exploration potential. Nevada Pacific is also buying a 75% interest in the Castle Mountain mine in southern California. Mining was terminated in 2001 when the gold price was at $275 per ounce, even though a considerable amount of gold remains in place. There is no official estimate, but Nevada Pacific management believe that the remaining resources could exceed the 1.1 million ounces previously produced.
Gold is still being leached from the ore presently on the heaps at Castle Mountain and management believes that approximately 20,000 ounces could be recovered this year. The acquisition of Castle Mountain, expected to close in February (subject to due diligence), requires Nevada Pacific to pay $2 million and 3 million shares on closing and a further $2 million after six months. A reclamation fund with an $8 million balance will also accrue to the benefit of Nevada Pacific.
In both cases, the purchase price of the mine is largely offset by the value of gold in ore that has already been mined and placed on leach pads. The company intends to conduct further mining of the presently known resources, which could quickly ramp up to a production level in excess of 100,000 ounces per year.
Nevada Pacific has considerable operating talent on their management team: two of the senior managers were involved in the early stages of both Bema and Eldorado, two successful mid-tier gold producers. Coincidentally, some of the senior on-site people at the Magistral mine previously worked under Nevada Pacific CEO Richard Barclay when he headed Eldorado.
Nevada Pacific expects to significantly improve the operating efficiencies at the two mines, creating the potential for those mines to throw off considerable cash flows.
While that cash flow is very important, the major interest in both projects is the exploration potential. Nevada Pacific has a first-rate exploration team that sees considerable potential for further discoveries on the properties.
As one outstanding example of the exploration potential being acquired by Nevada Pacific, consider this: A drill hole by the previous operator on the Castle Mountain project encountered 495 feet grading 0.51 ounces per ton. (That is not a typo, and I double-checked the figures with management.) Clearly, that drill hole went down a narrow high-grade zone. Even so, the zone must have some width for a drill hole to stay in it for that length. There are five other high grade zones within the limits of the pit that all extend to depth below the pit.
The previous operator was focused on an open pit operation and had little interest in developing ounces at depth. That company did recognize the shallower high-grade zones and installed a 1,000 ton per day mill to treat the high-grade ore separately from the normal heap leach process. That mill is part of the deal and could be used to treat ore from an underground mine. Nevada Pacific was one of the few far-sighted exploration companies that remained active through the downturn in the gold market. The company, with a strong exploration group based in Nevada, reviewed 200 gold projects in detail and carried out work on 50 of them.
That process led to a half-dozen priority gold and silver exploration projects which are currently active. Placer Dome is funding work on the BMX gold project and Nevada Pacific is planning to drill at least four other projects this year. The pending acquisitions (which I believe are likely to close) will add near-term production and cash flow. They will also greatly augment the considerable gold exploration potential presently held by the company.
So far, Nevada Pacific`s share price has not moved from where it was before the announcement of the acquisitions. I expect the price to trend upward in anticipation of the closing of the deals and as the company gains greater recognition for the potential value of the pending acquisitions.

Nevada Pacific Completes Magistral Mine Acquisition
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. ("Nevada
Pacific") (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased to
announce that it has completed the acquisition of the Magistral
Gold Mine in Sinaloa State, Mexico from Queenstake Resources Ltd.
The acquisition provides Nevada Pacific Gold the status of an
entry-level gold mining company with anticipated production of up
to 40,000 ounces per annum. Mining is expected to continue for
the next eight years from existing reserves and conversion of
existing resources. Potential exists for expansion through
exploration of underdeveloped low-grade and high-grade zones.
Nevada Pacific has paid US$4 million cash and has issued 2
million common shares to Queenstake Resources Ltd. with a final
payment of US$3 million to be paid six months from the closing
date.
The mine`s total proven and probable reserves as estimated by
Pincock, Allen & Holt in June of 2002, based on a US$300 gold
price, totalled 465,200 ounces gold contained in 6,985,000 tonnes
grading 2.07 grams per tonne at a 5.6:1.0 waste to ore stripping
ratio. Using a cutoff grade of 0.42 grams per tonne, measured and
indicated resources (including proven and probable reserves),
totalled 616,000 ounces gold contained in 11,822,000 tonnes at an
average grade of 1.62 grams per tonne.
The mineral resource and reserve estimates for the Magistral
deposit were prepared by Pincock, Allen and Holt ("PAH") who were
retained by a subsidiary of Queenstake. For the purposes of
National Instrument 43-101, Pincock, Allen and Holt classified
mineral resources as measured, indicated and inferred as
classified according to CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy) standards.
In the original 2001 feasibility report, PAH also projected that
production would gradually increase to an annual production rate
of approximately 40,000 ounces of gold per year. Mine life is
expected to be 8 years and gold recovery from the ore is expected
to be 73%.
In 2004, Nevada Pacific management plan to further explore and
develop the reserves/resources of the mine and optimize annual
gold production. Cash flow from the mine`s future gold production
will create a solid foundation for the Company`s ongoing
exploration focus in Nevada.

the status of the Company`s wholly owned Magistral Mine located
in Sinoloa State, Mexico. As previously announced, the purchase
of Pangea Resources Inc. from Queenstake Resources Inc. was
completed on February 2nd, 2004. Nevada Pacific Gold paid US$4
million and 2 million shares of the Company upon closing with a
final payment of US$3 million due within six months of the
closing date.
Nevada Pacific`s first weekly gold pour took place at the
Magistral Mine on February 9, 2004 with 432 ounces poured and
subsequently sold at a price of US$412 per ounce. During 2004,
management of Nevada Pacific projects the mine will produce

average 73% recovery of gold from the ore expected.
The mine infrastructure and facilities were constructed during
2002 with mining and leaching of the ore beginning in October.
Commercial production started on January 1st, 2003. As of
December 31, 2003, 15 months of mine production totaled 914,068
tonnes of ore mined at an average grade of 1.586 grams per tonne
with 4,441,800 tonnes of waste moved for a waste to ore strip
ratio of 4.9:1.0. Ore mined and placed on the pad contained
46,621 ounces of gold. Leaching of the ore recovered a total of
27,684 ounces of gold from October 2002 to December 31, 2003.
The Magistral Mine is a conventional heap leach and open pit
mining operation with 150 staff and employees. Mining is
conducted by a Company-owned equipment fleet consisting of 5
Euclid R-50 and 2 CAT 777B haul trucks, 2 CAT 992C loaders, 1 CAT
225 excavator, 1 CAT D9N and 2 CAT D8N bulldozers, 2 CAT 12G
graders, 2 Reed SK25 drills and a IR DM30 drill (blast hole drill
rig). Mining currently operates on a 5 day per week schedule with

at a capacity of 300 tonnes per hour, utilizing two stages with
primary crushing through a jaw crusher and secondary crushing
through a cone crusher producing a nominal crush size of 3/4
inch.
Gold and silver are recovered by heap leaching the ore with
solution that is collected by an impermeable liner at the base of
the leach pads. The presently constructed leach pads contain
capacity for 3 million tonnes of ore. With 914,068 tonnes of ore
placed at year-end 2003, there remains capacity sufficient for
approximately 2 years production at the current rates. The
recovery plant is a pressurized carbon recovery facility that has
daily capacity for treating over 4,000 cubic meters of solution
and operates on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis.
During 2003, 23,120 ounces of gold were produced at an estimated
cash cost of US $299/ounce. At the average estimated gold
recovery rate of 73% as outlined in the 2001 feasibility report
completed by PAH, the gold inventory remaining on the heap at
December 31, 2003 was estimated to be in the order of 9,900
ounces.
The mine reserve and present pit design includes a higher grade
zone at depth; using a 4.0 gram per tonne cutoff the zone
contains 462,000 tonnes at an average grade of 8.47 grams per

District Exploration:
The confirmation of the high-grade nature of certain mineralized
zones at the Magistral Mine serves as the model for both mine
site and regional exploration.
The Magistral gold deposit is hosted in an extensive package of
andesitic volcanic rocks intruded by a northwest trending
Cretaceous granodiorite batholith complex. Gold and silver
mineralization is found within the andesite package peripheral to
the granodiorite batholith. Mineralization is localized in quartz
dominated breccia zones along both northwest and northeast
structural trends. Additionally, there appears to be a
relationship between gold mineralization and a series of rhyolite
domes that are believed to be of Tertiary age. The mineralized
structures currently being exploited at the Magistral Mine have
historically been the focus of most of the regions exploration.
The Company`s regional mapping and sampling outside the immediate
mine area and the surrounding 200 square miles has outlined
numerous mineralized targets located within this series of
northwest and northeast trending structures. For this reason the
Company has significantly increased the Magistral Mine land
position by staking an additional 300 square kilometers. This
district-size gold and silver exploration play surrounds the
Magistral Mine and is now dominantly under the control of Nevada
Pacific Gold. Property scale geological mapping and geochemical
surveys together with existing government regional data will
provide the Company the focus for follow-up exploration
activities geared towards rapidly developing targets for future
trenching and drilling programs.
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. was founded in March 1997. The Company`s
portfolio contains the Magistral Gold Mine in Mexico and an
exploration property portfolio covering approximately 60 square
miles of mineral rights in the State of Nevada that include
portions of two significant gold producing belts. The Company`s
BMX project is optioned to Placer Dome. A description of these
projects, including maps and photographs can be viewed on the

Nevada Pacific Completes Drill Targeting and Stakes
Additional Claims at Keystone Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX
Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) wishes to announce the completion
of targeting for a Phase I drill program at the Company`s 100%
owned Keystone project. Following interpretation of new
geophysical survey data, prospecting and markedly increased
competitor activity in the area, the Company staked claims
covering an additional three square miles. This acquisition
brings the project total to seven square miles of prospective
ground over the Keystone tectonic window which is located to the
south of the Pipeline Mine/Cortez Joint Venture (CJV) on the
Battle Mountain Gold Trend and just 12 miles south of Placer
Dome`s 10+ million ounce Cortez Hills, Pediment and ET Blue
discoveries in Nevada.
Gradient Geophysics, Inc. recently completed a tightly spaced 9.5
line mile gradient array IP survey covering an area measuring
5,000 feet by 3,280 feet and centered on the old Keystone
base-metal workings. A 33.4Ma intrusive that outcrops in the
center of the tectonic window was emplaced into lower-plate rocks
of the Nevada group, which are comprised of massive bedded and
silty limestones. The IP survey was specifically designed to
target the potential for massive sulfide replacement bodies along
the intrusive contact and results confirm the presence of at
least four discrete anomalies. One of these anomalies is
coincident with known surface occurrences of high-grade massive
sulphide float.
Previously announced mapping and rock-chip sampling of this
high-grade base and precious metal mineralization is summarized
below:

In addition to the ground-based geophysics, 479 line miles of
high-resolution aeromagnetic data was also acquired from the area
around the lower plate window. This information provided a
regional view of the adjacent lands and has allowed Nevada
Pacific personnel to better interpret the geology under shallow
cover. Surface reconnaissance over some of the magnetic anomalies
confirmed jasperoid and altered sedimentary float in areas that
are covered by young volcanics. This is consistent with the air
magnetic interpretation that some of the volcanic cover forms
only a thin skin over altered sedimentary bedrock.
The new geologic interpretations resulting from these geophysical
surveys prompted Nevada Pacific to acquire an additional three
square miles of prospective ground. These new claims have
extended the area of this potential contact-style of
mineralization to cover 20,000 feet along the intrusive contact.
Claims have also been staked to cover the area sourcing the
altered float.
The Keystone project exhibits strong potential for both base and
precious metal mineralization related to the Keystone tectonic
window. Mineralized prospects occur in both upper and lower plate
rock and may be related to the emplacement of the stock. Though
the window is under-explored, limited historical drilling does
indicate Carlin-style gold mineralization. The presence of
receptive host rocks in the lower plate and an intrusive to drive
the system provides a classic setting for the development of
large disseminated deposits.
Drilling is expected to commence this summer over targets
identified as a result of both geophysical and geochemical
programs. In addition to this drill program, target definition
work will be initiated over the newly staked portions of the
property package. This work will include mapping, rock chip
sampling and soil gas surveys.

Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd.: Nevada Exploration Project
Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX
Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased to provide an update on
four existing exploration projects and two new acquisitions in
its extensive portfolio that now includes thirteen gold and
silver exploration projects in the state of Nevada. The Amador
Canyon Project will be updated under a separate news release.
Exploration Update:
BMX Gold Project - located within the Northern Battle Mountain
District, the project consists of 24 square miles of mineral
rights. The project is under Option to Placer Dome US Inc., who
is funding all work as part of a $ 4 million Joint Venture
agreement signed between the two companies in December 2002.
Phase I drilling was recently completed and comprised a total of
7,060 feet in ten reverse circulation drill holes. Drilling
tested four of the most accessible target areas that were the
lowest in elevation and helped provide stratigraphic information
for the project area. These targets were selected as a result of
surface mapping, soil and rock-chip geochemistry and geophysical
surveys. All ten holes drilled in this program encountered
geochem gold, trace and base-metal mineralization, thus
confirming the presence of a major gold and copper system(s).
BMX-03-1, BMX-03-2 and BMX-03-4 were designed to test a distinct
geochemical anomaly in the "Mote" area. Historic drilling in the
area suggested there would be approximately 450 feet of pediment
gravel cover. The soil/gas geochemical program was specifically
designed to image potentially buried ore bodies. Additional
detailed gravity surveys carried out by the Nevada Pacific
Gold-Placer Dome JV outlined major buried horst-bounding faults.
These horst-bounding structures display good continuity and
project strongly mineralized features, mapped in the uplands, to
the south with gold values up to 10 ppm. These "buried and
projected" structures are interpreted to be mineralized and are
postulated as the source for the soil/gas geochemical anomalies.
All three of the drill tests display anomalous geochemistry
analogous to a mineralized system. Two of the holes encountered
anomalous gold values, with numerous intervals containing 20 to
+50 ppb gold. Free gold was panned from alluvial material
directly above the bedrock contact. Assays of this alluvial
material were generally greater than those from the underlying
bedrock, with individual values of 199 ppb. The result of this
first drill test suggests close proximity to the main mineralized
body, with the stronger gold values in the alluvium being eroded
from nearby mineralization.
The seven remaining holes tested three target areas proximal to
the Elder Creek Porphyry. During the Phase I Program, Nevada
Pacific Gold secured historic assay results from two holes
drilled in the area by Western Mining in 1994. All nine of the
drill holes contained significantly anomalous gold values and
fall within a coincident gravity and aeromagnetic high that
defines the proximal alteration halo surrounding the Elder Creek
stock. The strongest gold values in these previously drilled
holes occur on the edge of a large pediment covered area within
the mapped alteration halo that surrounds the Elder Creek
Porphyry.
Gold assays up to 0.024 opt and copper values up to 0.86% were
encountered in Nevada Pacific Gold`s drilling. Pathfinder
elements were also extremely elevated with arsenic values up to
6,415 ppm and antimony values up to 235 ppm. The highest gold
values were seen in Western Mining`s hole MOTC-07 which averaged
0.256 opt gold over 10 feet from 125`-130`. This drill hole was
located 700 feet from Nevada Pacific`s BMX-03-6, which bottomed
in 100 feet and averaged values of 192 ppb gold and 627-ppm
arsenic. The second Western Mining drill hole, MOTC-12 (located
5,100 feet north of MOTC-07), averaged 50 ppb gold over 1,486
feet (from 0`-1,486`) with individual 5 foot gold values up to
0.022 opt. Nevada Pacific`s BMX-03-7 intersected 10 feet
averaging 0.016 opt gold within a 370 foot interval of double
digit ppb gold and BMX-03-8 had double digit ppb gold throughout
the entire 500 foot hole.
These strongly anomalous assay results over a wide area may
indicate proximity to a major gold-bearing hydrothermal system
related to the Elder Creek Porphyry. The higher gold values are
concentrated on individual structures. The potential of the
adjacent pediment covered areas has been significantly enhanced
by the Phase I results. Follow-up drilling will use these results
to vector toward the more promising of these structural zones.
Nevada Pacific Gold also conducted an ongoing district
reconnaissance in the area surrounding the BMX project throughout
the fall and winter of 2003-4. This work has lead to the staking
of additional claims on the south end of the property. The new
ground lies on the structural extension of high-grade underground
values obtained from the Bluebird mine area. Surface rock-chip
values up to 0.625 opt gold and 17.17 opt silver were obtained
from the new claim group and the Bluebird area will be the focus
of drilling at BMX later in 2004.
Limousine Butte Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located
in White Pine County. A winter drill program was partially
completed prior to access being blocked by snow. Six holes,
totaling 2,980 feet, were completed testing three different
targets within the Resurrection Ridge area. All of the holes
encountered significant levels of gold and geochemistry analogous
to a highly mineralized hydrothermal system. Five of the six
holes contained gold values in excess of 1 ppm (0.03 opt). The

Drill holes RR03-01 through RR03-04 were designed to characterize
and extend the high-grade mineralization previously encountered
in LIM-46. The results in drill holes RR03-1 and RR03-2 did
confirm and extend this mineralization (see NPG Press Release
03-34) while holes RR03-3 and RR03-4 intersected narrower
intervals of lower grade gold, further defining the orientation
and size of both the lower-grade and the higher-grade
mineralization.
Drill hole RR03-5 tested a surface rock-chip anomaly 500 feet
north of drill hole LIM-46 where rock chip samples of the surface
jasperoid assayed 0.058 opt gold. Due to bad ground this drill
hole was terminated at 300 feet and did not reach the projected
down dip extension of the surface gold enriched jasperoid.
Drilling however did intersect 85 feet grading 0.010 opt gold
beginning at 200 feet, including a 5-foot intersection of 0.049
opt gold.
Drill hole RR03-6 targeted a zone of mineralization located west
of LIM-46, and intersected 190 feet grading 0.017 opt gold
beginning 90 feet below the collar.
The focus of the remaining holes will be to test the Resurrection
Ridge area as well as Cadillac Valley (located south of
Resurrection Ridge) where past wide-spaced, vertical holes have
encountered an extensive zone of anomalous gold mineralization.
The program in general is designed to augment the existing
(620,000 ounce) gold mineral inventory.
Buffalo Canyon Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located in
the Shoshone Range in Nye County and encompasses a bulk tonnage,
potentially open-pittable gold mineralized zone. As previously
reported, numerous historic drill holes intersected gold
mineralization from surface to over 200 feet grading +/- 0.02
oz/ton gold. Nevada Pacific recently outlined a new higher-grade
surface mineralized zone (see NPG Release 03-27) Sixty-five
surface rock chip samples were collected over a 1,500 ft by 600
ft area with 14 samples containing greater than 0.100 oz/ton gold
and 26 containing greater than 0.040 oz/ton gold. The highest
assay returned 0.492 oz/ton gold. Following permitting, a drill
program is planned for 2004.
Clover Valley Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located in
the Spruce Mountain Mining District of Elko County. The target
area for gold mineralization at the project is in the lower
portion of the Pilot Shale together with related fault structures
that is a proven host for multi-million ounce deposits.
Permitting will be initiated for a 2004 drill program to follow
up on recent geochemical and geophysical surveys where a new
geochemical target has been outlined by an 800 ft by 1,600 ft
gold in soil anomaly.
New Acquisitions:
Valmy Antler Project: Nevada Pacific Gold has acquired
approximately 2,080 acres in the Battle Mountain District through
the staking of 118 lode mining claims.
This property is positioned over a major gravity high suggesting
shallow depths to bedrock. Historic drilling data acquired by
Nevada Pacific confirmed the presence of Antler Sequence rocks at
shallow depths over a portion of the package. Antler Sequence
rocks are a preferred ore host at Newmont`s nearby Lone Tree Mine
and Glamis Gold`s Marigold Mine and Nevada Pacific Gold believes
that the overall gravity feature may represent a horst block of
this favorable lithologic unit. These two operations have a
combined gold endowment of at least 12 million ounces and both
mines have added significant reserves in 2003 and have active
exploration and development programs planned for 2004.
The Valmy Antler Project adjoins the Marigold claim package on
the east and north boundaries and covers both northeast and
north/south mineralized trends extending from the known ore
zones. Mineralization lies within about 1.5 miles of the eastern
boundary and 3 miles from the northern boundary. The project also
lies within Newmont`s checker boarded private lands and is
adjacent to active lode mining claims that Newmont has held since
1986.
In 2004 Nevada Pacific Gold is planning an exploration program
that will include detailed survey grids, gravity work followed by
soil/gas geochemistry prior to drill targeting.
Mary`s Mountain: Nevada Pacific Gold has acquired approximately
1,580 acres on the Carlin Trend through the staking of 82 lode
mining claims controlling 100% of the mineral rights without
underlying interests or encumbrances of any kind. The new land
package is surrounded by Newmont landholdings in the Maggie Creek
Mining District and lies within two miles of the 24 million ounce
Gold Quarry mine. The claims are nine miles due west of the town
of Carlin and cover portions of Mary`s Mountain.
Several major southwest trending structures that are controls for
mineralization at the Gold Quarry Mine are projected onto the
Mary`s Mountain claims. A major regional thrust fault passes
through portions of the property that has placed siliceous
western assemblage rocks over top of the younger Mary`s Mountain
Sequence, which in turn overlies the productive Robert`s Mountain
Formation.
Compilation of past exploration data indicates that strong gold
anomalies found on the surface are hosted within heavily iron
stained breccia and silicified rock chip samples that assay up to
1 ppm gold. The presence of Eocene (37 Ma) dikes related to the
Welches Canyon intrusive complex suggests a heat engine and
possible source for the surface mineralization.
The anomalous rock and soil samples cover wide areas of the
property and are found in both the upper and middle thrust
plates. Surface geochemistry is highly elevated in arsenic (to
greater than 1000 ppm) and mercury (to greater than 31 ppm) and
lesser antimony (to 430 ppm). The preferred target horizons lie
within the Mary`s Mountain Sequence and the underlying Roberts
Mountain Formation, where structural intersections with these
favorable hosts may have formed significant high-grade gold
deposits.
Historic drilling has encountered significant intervals of
anomalous gold with individual 5 foot samples ranging up to 0.052
ounce per ton. The best composite drill intercept contains 20
feet grading 0.032 ounce gold per ton. To date the drilling has
been shallow, vertical and wide-spaced, leaving open the
possibility of discovering a near surface high-grade gold deposit
associated with the outcropping mineralization.

Further updates of these projects complete with results and
current activities will be released in the coming weeks. A

area suggested there would be approximately 450 feet of pediment
gravel cover. The soil/gas geochemical program was specifically
designed to image potentially buried ore bodies. Additional
detailed gravity surveys carried out by the Nevada Pacific
Gold-Placer Dome JV outlined major buried horst-bounding faults.
These horst-bounding structures display good continuity and
project strongly mineralized features, mapped in the uplands, to
the south with gold values up to 10 ppm. These "buried and
projected" structures are interpreted to be mineralized and are
postulated as the source for the soil/gas geochemical anomalies.
All three of the drill tests display anomalous geochemistry
analogous to a mineralized system. Two of the holes encountered
anomalous gold values, with numerous intervals containing 20 to
+50 ppb gold. Free gold was panned from alluvial material
directly above the bedrock contact. Assays of this alluvial
material were generally greater than those from the underlying
bedrock, with individual values of 199 ppb. The result of this
first drill test suggests close proximity to the main mineralized
body, with the stronger gold values in the alluvium being eroded
from nearby mineralization.
The seven remaining holes tested three target areas proximal to
the Elder Creek Porphyry. During the Phase I Program, Nevada
Pacific Gold secured historic assay results from two holes
drilled in the area by Western Mining in 1994. All nine of the
drill holes contained significantly anomalous gold values and
fall within a coincident gravity and aeromagnetic high that
defines the proximal alteration halo surrounding the Elder Creek
stock. The strongest gold values in these previously drilled
holes occur on the edge of a large pediment covered area within
the mapped alteration halo that surrounds the Elder Creek
Porphyry.
Gold assays up to 0.024 opt and copper values up to 0.86% were
encountered in Nevada Pacific Gold`s drilling. Pathfinder
elements were also extremely elevated with arsenic values up to
6,415 ppm and antimony values up to 235 ppm. The highest gold
values were seen in Western Mining`s hole MOTC-07 which averaged
0.256 opt gold over 10 feet from 125`-130`. This drill hole was
located 700 feet from Nevada Pacific`s BMX-03-6, which bottomed
in 100 feet and averaged values of 192 ppb gold and 627-ppm
arsenic. The second Western Mining drill hole, MOTC-12 (located
5,100 feet north of MOTC-07), averaged 50 ppb gold over 1,486
feet (from 0`-1,486`) with individual 5 foot gold values up to
0.022 opt. Nevada Pacific`s BMX-03-7 intersected 10 feet
averaging 0.016 opt gold within a 370 foot interval of double
digit ppb gold and BMX-03-8 had double digit ppb gold throughout
the entire 500 foot hole.
These strongly anomalous assay results over a wide area may
indicate proximity to a major gold-bearing hydrothermal system
related to the Elder Creek Porphyry. The higher gold values are
concentrated on individual structures. The potential of the
adjacent pediment covered areas has been significantly enhanced
by the Phase I results. Follow-up drilling will use these results
to vector toward the more promising of these structural zones.
Nevada Pacific Gold also conducted an ongoing district
reconnaissance in the area surrounding the BMX project throughout
the fall and winter of 2003-4. This work has lead to the staking
of additional claims on the south end of the property. The new
ground lies on the structural extension of high-grade underground
values obtained from the Bluebird mine area. Surface rock-chip
values up to 0.625 opt gold and 17.17 opt silver were obtained
from the new claim group and the Bluebird area will be the focus
of drilling at BMX later in 2004.
Limousine Butte Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located
in White Pine County. A winter drill program was partially
completed prior to access being blocked by snow. Six holes,
totaling 2,980 feet, were completed testing three different
targets within the Resurrection Ridge area. All of the holes
encountered significant levels of gold and geochemistry analogous
to a highly mineralized hydrothermal system. Five of the six
holes contained gold values in excess of 1 ppm (0.03 opt). The

Drill holes RR03-01 through RR03-04 were designed to characterize
and extend the high-grade mineralization previously encountered
in LIM-46. The results in drill holes RR03-1 and RR03-2 did
confirm and extend this mineralization (see NPG Press Release
03-34) while holes RR03-3 and RR03-4 intersected narrower
intervals of lower grade gold, further defining the orientation
and size of both the lower-grade and the higher-grade
mineralization.
Drill hole RR03-5 tested a surface rock-chip anomaly 500 feet
north of drill hole LIM-46 where rock chip samples of the surface
jasperoid assayed 0.058 opt gold. Due to bad ground this drill
hole was terminated at 300 feet and did not reach the projected
down dip extension of the surface gold enriched jasperoid.
Drilling however did intersect 85 feet grading 0.010 opt gold
beginning at 200 feet, including a 5-foot intersection of 0.049
opt gold.
Drill hole RR03-6 targeted a zone of mineralization located west
of LIM-46, and intersected 190 feet grading 0.017 opt gold
beginning 90 feet below the collar.
The focus of the remaining holes will be to test the Resurrection
Ridge area as well as Cadillac Valley (located south of
Resurrection Ridge) where past wide-spaced, vertical holes have
encountered an extensive zone of anomalous gold mineralization.
The program in general is designed to augment the existing
(620,000 ounce) gold mineral inventory.
Buffalo Canyon Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located in
the Shoshone Range in Nye County and encompasses a bulk tonnage,
potentially open-pittable gold mineralized zone. As previously
reported, numerous historic drill holes intersected gold
mineralization from surface to over 200 feet grading +/- 0.02
oz/ton gold. Nevada Pacific recently outlined a new higher-grade
surface mineralized zone (see NPG Release 03-27) Sixty-five
surface rock chip samples were collected over a 1,500 ft by 600
ft area with 14 samples containing greater than 0.100 oz/ton gold
and 26 containing greater than 0.040 oz/ton gold. The highest
assay returned 0.492 oz/ton gold. Following permitting, a drill
program is planned for 2004.
Clover Valley Gold Project - is a 100% owned property located in
the Spruce Mountain Mining District of Elko County. The target
area for gold mineralization at the project is in the lower
portion of the Pilot Shale together with related fault structures
that is a proven host for multi-million ounce deposits.
Permitting will be initiated for a 2004 drill program to follow
up on recent geochemical and geophysical surveys where a new
geochemical target has been outlined by an 800 ft by 1,600 ft
gold in soil anomaly.
New Acquisitions:
Valmy Antler Project: Nevada Pacific Gold has acquired
approximately 2,080 acres in the Battle Mountain District through
the staking of 118 lode mining claims.
This property is positioned over a major gravity high suggesting
shallow depths to bedrock. Historic drilling data acquired by
Nevada Pacific confirmed the presence of Antler Sequence rocks at
shallow depths over a portion of the package. Antler Sequence
rocks are a preferred ore host at Newmont`s nearby Lone Tree Mine
and Glamis Gold`s Marigold Mine and Nevada Pacific Gold believes
that the overall gravity feature may represent a horst block of
this favorable lithologic unit. These two operations have a
combined gold endowment of at least 12 million ounces and both
mines have added significant reserves in 2003 and have active
exploration and development programs planned for 2004.
The Valmy Antler Project adjoins the Marigold claim package on
the east and north boundaries and covers both northeast and
north/south mineralized trends extending from the known ore
zones. Mineralization lies within about 1.5 miles of the eastern
boundary and 3 miles from the northern boundary. The project also
lies within Newmont`s checker boarded private lands and is
adjacent to active lode mining claims that Newmont has held since
1986.
In 2004 Nevada Pacific Gold is planning an exploration program
that will include detailed survey grids, gravity work followed by
soil/gas geochemistry prior to drill targeting.
Mary`s Mountain: Nevada Pacific Gold has acquired approximately
1,580 acres on the Carlin Trend through the staking of 82 lode
mining claims controlling 100% of the mineral rights without
underlying interests or encumbrances of any kind. The new land
package is surrounded by Newmont landholdings in the Maggie Creek
Mining District and lies within two miles of the 24 million ounce
Gold Quarry mine. The claims are nine miles due west of the town
of Carlin and cover portions of Mary`s Mountain.
Several major southwest trending structures that are controls for
mineralization at the Gold Quarry Mine are projected onto the
Mary`s Mountain claims. A major regional thrust fault passes
through portions of the property that has placed siliceous
western assemblage rocks over top of the younger Mary`s Mountain
Sequence, which in turn overlies the productive Robert`s Mountain
Formation.
Compilation of past exploration data indicates that strong gold
anomalies found on the surface are hosted within heavily iron
stained breccia and silicified rock chip samples that assay up to
1 ppm gold. The presence of Eocene (37 Ma) dikes related to the
Welches Canyon intrusive complex suggests a heat engine and
possible source for the surface mineralization.
The anomalous rock and soil samples cover wide areas of the
property and are found in both the upper and middle thrust
plates. Surface geochemistry is highly elevated in arsenic (to
greater than 1000 ppm) and mercury (to greater than 31 ppm) and
lesser antimony (to 430 ppm). The preferred target horizons lie
within the Mary`s Mountain Sequence and the underlying Roberts
Mountain Formation, where structural intersections with these
favorable hosts may have formed significant high-grade gold
deposits.
Historic drilling has encountered significant intervals of
anomalous gold with individual 5 foot samples ranging up to 0.052
ounce per ton. The best composite drill intercept contains 20
feet grading 0.032 ounce gold per ton. To date the drilling has
been shallow, vertical and wide-spaced, leaving open the
possibility of discovering a near surface high-grade gold deposit
associated with the outcropping mineralization.

Nevada Pacific Gold to Initiate 25,000 Feet of Drilling
on Keystone, Amador Canyon and Limousine Butte
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Apr 1, 2004) - Nevada
Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased
to announce that the Company is finalizing a 20,000 foot reverse
circulation drilling contract with Layne Christensen Company and
negotiating a 5,000 foot core drilling contract with Boart
Longyear Company. Extensive drill programs are scheduled to begin
in mid-April on three of the company`s Nevada properties; the
Amador Canyon, Keystone and Limousine Butte projects. The total
budget is estimated to be US$500,000.
Permits for the Amador Canyon drill program are expected to be
granted during the first week of April at which time construction
of the drill roads and drill sites will begin. Drilling is
expected to commence by mid-April. The property has never been
drill tested so this initial program will consist of 10,000 feet
of reverse circulation drilling designed to test disseminated
sulphide silver mineralization targeted by surface mapping,
geochemistry and data collected from a recently completed
geophysical survey.
The remaining 10,000 feet of reverse circulation drilling will be
divided between the Company`s Limousine Butte and Keystone
properties. In addition to the reverse circulation contract, a
core drilling program of five thousand feet is also planned for
these two projects. Three thousand feet of core drilling will
test the massive sulfide target area at Keystone with the
remaining two thousand feet testing the high-grade structure and
resource area at Limousine Butte.
Drilling on all three projects is anticipated to continue until
approximately mid-July. Details and results of the programs will

NEVADA PACIFIC COMMENCES DRILLING
AT THE AMADOR CANYON SILVER PROJECT
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX - NPG) is pleased to announce the commencement of a 10,000 foot Phase I drill program at the Company`s 100% owned Amador Canyon Silver Project. The project is located four miles north of the town of Austin in Lander County, Nevada in the northern portion of the Reese River (Austin) Mining District.
The stratigraphy at Amador Canyon is a good host for disseminated silver mineralization as is evident by the numerous, widespread gossanous zones and historic workings that occur across the property. The primary exploration target at Amador is a bulk tonnage disseminated/stockwork-type silver deposit, with open-pit mining characteristics.
The Amador Canyon property has never been drilled and this 10,000 foot reverse circulation drill program will be completed to form the initial test. Drill targets have been identified based on surface mapping, rock chip geochemistry and geophysics. The results from the recently completed geophysical data show several areas, which are believed to represent abundant carbon and/or sulphides. Surface rock chip sampling has demonstrated the association of the silver mineralization to both carbon and sulfides and has returned values of 8 to 125 opt silver in outcrop containing carbon and 10 to 75 opt silver in outcrop containing sulfides.
Drilling should be completed in 4-6 weeks and the results will be reported as soon as the results have been received and evaluated.

Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd.: Magistral Gold Mine Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Apr 30, 2004) -
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is
pleased to provide an update of the Company`s wholly owned
Magistral Gold Mine located in Sinaloa State, Mexico.
The purchase of the Magistral Gold Mine was completed on February
2nd, 2004 transforming the Company into a junior gold producer
with projected annual production of 35,000 ounces at a cash cost
of US$250. Nevada Pacific has inherited an experienced and highly
skilled management team together with a capable labour force that
has been instrumental in a seamless transfer of mine ownership.
The Company has conducted a systematic review and assessment
covering all facets of the operation. As a result of these
activities a revitalization program is currently underway, which
will enable management to increase efficiencies, lower operating
costs and increase gold and silver production. The following
operating improvements to the Magistral Gold Mine were initiated
during the third quarter and are scheduled to be completed by
June 30th, 2004, the Company`s fiscal year end:
1. Leach Pad. 650,000 tonnes of ore (of 1.1 million tonnes in
place) are being restacked on the leach pad to allow for the
addition of lime to improve pH control and to minimize the
effects of size segregation from the previous stacking practices.
This task is 40% complete.
2. Crushing Circuit. The secondary crusher will be reinstalled
during the first week of May having been offsite for retooling
and machining. Additionally, the purchase of a screen plant with
larger capacity is being finalized. These modifications to the
crushing circuit will increase throughput to 80,000-plus tonnes
per month and further optimize gold recovery by improving size
fraction control. A rented secondary crusher unit is currently
onsite to maintain production during this maintenance period.
3. Process/Recovery Plant. Additional carbon columns have been
added to the recovery plant along with other modifications that
have increased capacity from 175 cubic meters to 275 cubic meters
per hour of solution through-put which will assist in improving
gold and silver recovery.
4. Mining. Additions to the mine fleet are under consideration to
enable ramping up to an annualized mining rate of 7.0 million
tonnes from 4.7 million tonnes mined in 2003. Condemnation
drilling is planned adjacent to the San Rafael pit to shorten the
haulage distance for waste rock.
5. Reserve/Resource. The San Rafael and Samaniego geological
resource models are presently being updated with the addition of
the present blast hole database. Once completed, the mine
reserves will be recalculated on a range of gold prices. The
current proven and probable reserves at Magistral are based on a
$US 300 gold price. This updated model will also allow for
improved short and long term mine planning.
Another highlight resulting from the systematic review of the
Magistral Gold Mine operation is the increased appreciation the
Company now has for the exceptional exploration targets in the
immediate vicinity of the mine and on a district level. The
potential for developing additional gold reserve/resource appears
to be excellent.
From the time of acquisition, the size of the Magistral Mine
claim group has been increased from 96 square kilometers to
approximately 400 square kilometers. Since 1995, exploration
focused primarily on development work in the area of the
northwest trending San Rafael and Samaniego open pit areas and at
the northeast trending Lupita and Sagrado Corazon
reserve/resource areas located two kilometers to the south. The
principal targets with high exploration potential in the
immediate area of the mine, are as follows:
1. La Prieta High Grade Zone. This is the highest priority area
for exploration at the mine. The high-grade zone containing
462,000 tonnes grading 8.47 grams gold per tonne, is situated 200
metres down dip from surface at a vertical depth of 120 metres.
High grade mineralization grading 6.0 - 15.0 g/tonne gold is
present in a flat lying dilatant zone along a strike length of
200 metres, width of 100 - 200 metres and thickness of up to 30
metres. This zone is open to the west, to the south and to the
northwest along a 500-metre extension of the surface-mapped
Samaniego Zone. Nevada Pacific previously reported diamond drill
hole M773 in this zone that intersected 34.4 metres grading 9.4
g/tonne gold. Further diamond drilling and reverse circulation
drilling is planned.
2. Samaniego Open Pit. Mineralization is open along strike to the
northwest where it has been traced by mapping and sampling on
surface for some 500 metres. The zone beyond 500 metres has not
been mapped or sampled and will be the focus of a near term
trenching and sampling program.
3. West Samaniego Zone. In addition to the potential for
extending mineralization along strike, there are mineralized
structures running parallel to the current reserves. Two
structures outcropping 1000 metres to the west of the Saminieago
Pit are known to have significant surface expression with strikes
of at least 500 - 1000 metres. These structures have had only
limited rock sampling and follow up mapping, trenching and
drilling is planned.
4. San Rafael Open Pit, Lupita - Sagrado Corazon Reserve/Resource
Areas. Near surface mineralization is open down dip and it is
likely that high-grade zones similar to the La Prieta are present
at depth. Geophysical surveys consisting of Induced Polarization
- Resistivity will be conducted over the down dip extensions of
these zones followed by drilling.
5. South of Lupita - Sagrado Corazon. Numerous high-grade vein
showings are present to the south of the northeast striking
Lupita-Sagrado Corazon reserve/resource areas with grades from
1.0 to 22.3 g/tonne gold over widths of 1.0 - 9.0 metres over an
area measuring 600 metres by 1000 metres. Mapping, sampling and
trenching are planned to identify high priority drill targets.

Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd.: Magistral Gold Mine Update
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Apr 30, 2004) -
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is
pleased to provide an update of the Company`s wholly owned
Magistral Gold Mine located in Sinaloa State, Mexico.
The purchase of the Magistral Gold Mine was completed on February
2nd, 2004 transforming the Company into a junior gold producer
with projected annual production of 35,000 ounces at a cash cost
of US$250. Nevada Pacific has inherited an experienced and highly
skilled management team together with a capable labour force that
has been instrumental in a seamless transfer of mine ownership.
The Company has conducted a systematic review and assessment
covering all facets of the operation. As a result of these
activities a revitalization program is currently underway, which
will enable management to increase efficiencies, lower operating
costs and increase gold and silver production. The following
operating improvements to the Magistral Gold Mine were initiated
during the third quarter and are scheduled to be completed by
June 30th, 2004, the Company`s fiscal year end:
1. Leach Pad. 650,000 tonnes of ore (of 1.1 million tonnes in
place) are being restacked on the leach pad to allow for the
addition of lime to improve pH control and to minimize the
effects of size segregation from the previous stacking practices.
This task is 40% complete.
2. Crushing Circuit. The secondary crusher will be reinstalled
during the first week of May having been offsite for retooling
and machining. Additionally, the purchase of a screen plant with
larger capacity is being finalized. These modifications to the
crushing circuit will increase throughput to 80,000-plus tonnes
per month and further optimize gold recovery by improving size
fraction control. A rented secondary crusher unit is currently
onsite to maintain production during this maintenance period.
3. Process/Recovery Plant. Additional carbon columns have been
added to the recovery plant along with other modifications that
have increased capacity from 175 cubic meters to 275 cubic meters
per hour of solution through-put which will assist in improving
gold and silver recovery.
4. Mining. Additions to the mine fleet are under consideration to
enable ramping up to an annualized mining rate of 7.0 million
tonnes from 4.7 million tonnes mined in 2003. Condemnation
drilling is planned adjacent to the San Rafael pit to shorten the
haulage distance for waste rock.
5. Reserve/Resource. The San Rafael and Samaniego geological
resource models are presently being updated with the addition of
the present blast hole database. Once completed, the mine
reserves will be recalculated on a range of gold prices. The
current proven and probable reserves at Magistral are based on a
$US 300 gold price. This updated model will also allow for
improved short and long term mine planning.
Another highlight resulting from the systematic review of the
Magistral Gold Mine operation is the increased appreciation the
Company now has for the exceptional exploration targets in the
immediate vicinity of the mine and on a district level. The
potential for developing additional gold reserve/resource appears
to be excellent.
From the time of acquisition, the size of the Magistral Mine
claim group has been increased from 96 square kilometers to
approximately 400 square kilometers. Since 1995, exploration
focused primarily on development work in the area of the
northwest trending San Rafael and Samaniego open pit areas and at
the northeast trending Lupita and Sagrado Corazon
reserve/resource areas located two kilometers to the south. The
principal targets with high exploration potential in the
immediate area of the mine, are as follows:
1. La Prieta High Grade Zone. This is the highest priority area
for exploration at the mine. The high-grade zone containing
462,000 tonnes grading 8.47 grams gold per tonne, is situated 200
metres down dip from surface at a vertical depth of 120 metres.
High grade mineralization grading 6.0 - 15.0 g/tonne gold is
present in a flat lying dilatant zone along a strike length of
200 metres, width of 100 - 200 metres and thickness of up to 30
metres. This zone is open to the west, to the south and to the
northwest along a 500-metre extension of the surface-mapped
Samaniego Zone. Nevada Pacific previously reported diamond drill
hole M773 in this zone that intersected 34.4 metres grading 9.4
g/tonne gold. Further diamond drilling and reverse circulation
drilling is planned.
2. Samaniego Open Pit. Mineralization is open along strike to the
northwest where it has been traced by mapping and sampling on
surface for some 500 metres. The zone beyond 500 metres has not
been mapped or sampled and will be the focus of a near term
trenching and sampling program.
3. West Samaniego Zone. In addition to the potential for
extending mineralization along strike, there are mineralized
structures running parallel to the current reserves. Two
structures outcropping 1000 metres to the west of the Saminieago
Pit are known to have significant surface expression with strikes
of at least 500 - 1000 metres. These structures have had only
limited rock sampling and follow up mapping, trenching and

4. San Rafael Open Pit, Lupita - Sagrado Corazon Reserve/Resource
Areas. Near surface mineralization is open down dip and it is
likely that high-grade zones similar to the La Prieta are present
at depth. Geophysical surveys consisting of Induced Polarization
- Resistivity will be conducted over the down dip extensions of
these zones followed by drilling.

Magistral Mine Revitalization Program 95% Complete
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased to announce that the (approx) US$2 million revitalization program at the Company`s 100% owned Magistral Mine is now 95% complete. As a result of the work completed to date the mine is on a firm footing for sustained profitable production starting in January 2005. Weekly gold production is increasing systematically.
The revitalization program is increasing long term operating efficiencies, lower operating costs and to increase annual gold and silver production. During the revitalization period, slated to end December 31, 2004, the mine has had reduced gold production with all operating costs capitalized and offset by precious metal sales.
Weekly gold production has risen for the last 6 consecutive weeks from a low of 149 ounces on October 19th to 437 ounces on November 23rd. This trend is projected to continue through to the Company`s fiscal year end and is forecasted to increase to approximately 1,000 ounces per week in June 2005.
The gold production forecast for fiscal 2005 (ending June 30th 2005) amounts to some 30,000 ounces at a cash operating cost of US$250 per ounce. Silver continues to be stockpiled.
The Company has embarked on an aggressive exploration program designed to develop additional gold reserves and resources adjacent to the existing mining operations as well as to drill test several near-mine mineralized areas. Successful development of additional reserves and resources may lead to an increase in annual mine throughput.
The Company made the final payment of US$1,450,000 to Queenstake Resources Ltd. on November 12, 2004 completing the purchase of 100% of the Magistral Mine.
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. was founded in March 1997. The Company owns the Magistral Gold Mine in Mexico and an exploration property portfolio covering approximately 75 square miles in the State of Nevada. The Company`s BMX, Keystone and Limousine Butte projects are optioned to Placer Dome. A description of these projects, including maps can be viewed at www.nevadapacificgold.com.
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The Company`s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors that may be beyond the Company`s control.

Nevada Pacific Provides a Summary of First Quarter Operating Activities
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) wishes to announce the operating results for three months ended September 30th, 2004 and the Company`s fiscal first quarter.
The Magistral Mine
The Company continued a revitalization program at the mine during the first quarter. The program is increasing long term operating efficiencies, lowering operating costs and increasing annual gold and silver production. During the revitalization period, which is expected to be completed on December 31, 2004, the mine will experience reduced gold production with all production related costs capitalized and offset by precious metal sales.
During the quarter The Magistral Mine produced 3,205 ounces gold and sold 3,272 ounces at an average price of US$400. Since the acquisition, the Mine has produced 12,435 ounces of gold. Silver continues to be stockpiled and at September 30, 2004 stood at 5,575 ounces.
The mine is continuing to experience improved results from the revitalization projects that have been completed. The remine program that involved rehandling the crushed ore on the leach pad to add lime for pH control and to reduce the effects of solution channelling continues to yield positive results. All pregnant solutions from the leach pad show improved pH that has helped reduce cyanide requirements and copper levels in the solution. In addition, the three additional carbon columns, larger pumps and a new boiler installed in mid-year continue to provide higher solution flow rates through the processing plant. For the quarter, average plant capacity was 257 cubic metres per hour, an 8% increase over the previous quarter.
Several projects were completed in the first quarter of the company`s 2005 fiscal year that have set the mine on a firm footing for sustained profitable production beginning January 2005. Additional mine equipment was purchased and placed into service late in the quarter, including one CAT 992 12 cubic yard front end loader and two CAT 777 90-ton trucks that will increase the mining fleet capacity to approximately 7 million tonnes per year. The secondary crushing circuit was modified to produce a finer product by replacing the standard cone with a short head configuration. Projects still underway include the installation of a larger screen plant and new conveyors that will be configured to close the crushing circuit. These projects are expected to be completed in late December and are planned to be fully operational in January 2005. These improvements will help ensure an average at the crusher throughput of 960,000 tonnes per annum and an average crushed ore size of 80% finer than ½". The resulting improvement in gold recovery is estimated to be approximately 5%.
Finally a comprehensive organizational review was completed which resulted in a 10% labour force reduction, primarily in the administrative areas. As part of this reorganization, mine security was outsourced to a contract security company. Communication improvements are planned for completion in December that will allow for the administrative, accounting and purchasing groups to be moved to the mine site and the Mocorito office to be closed. With these and other changes, operating costs are projected to be reduced.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005 the Magistral Gold Mine produced 3,205 ounces of gold and 2,294 ounces of silver. A total of 129,030 tonnes of ore and 826,679 tonnes of waste were mined with a waste to ore strip ratio of 6.4:1. The average grade of the mined ore was 1.4 grams gold per tonne for a total of 5,786 ounces of gold. The recoverable gold inventory remaining on the heap at September 30, 2004 was estimated to be 6,805 ounces
Subsequent to the end of the Company`s first fiscal quarter Nevada Pacific made the final payment of US$ 1,450,000 to Queenstake Resources Ltd. on November 12, 2004 completing the purchase of the Magistral Gold Mine. All security granted by the Company has been returned to the company and security registrations are being discharged.
Magistral Mine Exploration Review
One of the most important developments resulting from the systematic review of the Magistral Gold Mine is the identification of exploration targets within the immediate and district area of the mine. During the first fiscal quarter, compilation of previous exploration data combined with surface mapping and sampling has successfully demonstrated the potential to increase the presently defined resources adjacent to existing mining operations and to discover and develop additional resources throughout the Magistral mining camp. Subsequent to quarter end the Company announced the commencement of a US$1 million exploration program at the mine that will include approximately 20,000 meters of drilling. The two-tiered program has been designed to develop additional gold reserves and resources adjacent to the existing mining operations as well as drill testing several near-mine mineralized areas that have been identified by Magistral`s geological team. The principal drill targets in the immediate area of the Mine are the La Prieta High Grade Zone, the Samaniego Open Pit, the West San Rafael Zone, the San Rafael Open Pit, the Lupita-Sagrado Corazon Reserve/Resource Areas, the Lucy Zone, the South of Sagrado Corazon and the Cerritos Porphyry System.

Limousine Butte
On September 7, 2004, the Company signed a binding letter agreement with Placer Dome U.S. Inc. ("Placer Dome"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc., whereby Placer Dome has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Limousine Butte project by spending $4,000,000 on exploration over a five-year period. Placer Dome can earn an additional 15% interest by completing a feasibility study.
Following the quarter end staking of unpatented mineral claims by Placer Dome has more than doubled the size of the Limousine Butte project. As a result of Placer Dome`s staking program, the Company and Placer Dome now control a large land position of approximately 31 square miles (20,000 acres) of the prospective corridor of alteration and gold mineralization. Placer Dome is completing detailed geologic mapping and sampling in the Resurrection Ridge area of the Limousine Butte project. Placer Dome indicates its current fieldwork will focus on determining structural intersections, lithology, continuity, orientation and mineralogy of the high-grade mineralization found in the Resurrection Ridge area. Placer Dome also plans to generate a 3-D model of the known gold mineralization at Resurrection Ridge in order to aid in resource definition and future drilling efforts. Property wide exploration including a drilling program is anticipated to commence in early 2005.
Keystone
On September 7, 2004, the Company signed a binding letter agreement with Placer Dome, whereby Placer Dome has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Keystone project by spending $5,000,000 on exploration over a five-year period. Placer Dome can earn an additional 15% interest by completing a feasibility study.
As a result of initial fieldwork by Placer Dome`s exploration team, a priority area in the northeastern portion of the property has been identified. Placer Dome indicates that it will continue exploration with geophysics and geochemistry covering approximately three square miles over the priority area. The proposed work plan will include detailed geologic mapping and sampling, collection and analysis of approximately 500 soil samples taken on a 400 x 400 foot grid, and a 7.5 line mile Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency Magneto-Telluric (CSAMT) geophysical survey. A drilling program is planned for 2005
Cornerstone (Pat Canyon)
During the quarter, surface exploration on the Company`s Cornerstone project identified a potentially significant structural zone of alteration and gold mineralization. Cornerstone is situated on the Cortez Gold Trend; approximately 12 miles south of Placer Dome`s recently discovered multi-million ounce Cortez Hills and Pediment gold deposits in Eureka County, Nevada.
The surface alteration consists of local zones of iron oxides, carbonate and jasperoid breccia. To date, the zone has been traced for over 3,000 feet along a north-northeast strike direction and up to 800 feet in width. Initial sampling by Nevada Pacific has returned significant gold values and elevated pathfinder elements. Results of the first 35 rock chip samples taken by Nevada Pacific along the zone have been received from ALS Chemex with 12 of these samples returning gold values of greater than 2 ppm with a high of 7.87 ppm (0.228 opt). Surface sampling in the Flag zone revealed a total of 24 of 69 assays greater than 0.025 ounces per ton gold with two samples running as high as 0.274 opt and 0.317 opt. Pathfinder elements range in value up to 1815-ppm arsenic, 296-ppm antimony and 8.08-ppm mercury, indicating classic Carlin-style mineralization in this under-explored area. These results show the zone to be more continuous than previously thought along the 3,000 foot by 800-foot zone. A detailed soil-sampling program over this entire area has been completed. When the assay results are received and permitting has been completed a trenching and drilling program will commence.

On September 7, 2004, the Company signed a binding letter agreement with Placer Dome U.S. Inc. ("Placer Dome"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc., whereby Placer Dome has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Limousine Butte project by spending $4,000,000 on exploration over a five-year period. Placer Dome can earn an additional 15% interest by completing a feasibility study.
Following the quarter end staking of unpatented mineral claims by Placer Dome has more than doubled the size of the Limousine Butte project. As a result of Placer Dome`s staking program, the Company and Placer Dome now control a large land position of approximately 31 square miles (20,000 acres) of the prospective corridor of alteration and gold mineralization. Placer Dome is completing detailed geologic mapping and sampling in the Resurrection Ridge area of the Limousine Butte project. Placer Dome indicates its current fieldwork will focus on determining structural intersections, lithology, continuity, orientation and mineralogy of the high-grade mineralization found in the Resurrection Ridge area. Placer Dome also plans to generate a 3-D model of the known gold mineralization at Resurrection Ridge in order to aid in resource definition and future drilling efforts. Property wide exploration including a drilling program is anticipated to commence in early 2005.
Keystone
On September 7, 2004, the Company signed a binding letter agreement with Placer Dome, whereby Placer Dome has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Keystone project by spending $5,000,000 on exploration over a five-year period. Placer Dome can earn an additional 15% interest by completing a feasibility study.
As a result of initial fieldwork by Placer Dome`s exploration team, a priority area in the northeastern portion of the property has been identified. Placer Dome indicates that it will continue exploration with geophysics and geochemistry covering approximately three square miles over the priority area. The proposed work plan will include detailed geologic mapping and sampling, collection and analysis of approximately 500 soil samples taken on a 400 x 400 foot grid, and a 7.5 line mile Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency Magneto-Telluric (CSAMT) geophysical survey. A drilling program is planned for 2005
Cornerstone (Pat Canyon)
During the quarter, surface exploration on the Company`s Cornerstone project identified a potentially significant structural zone of alteration and gold mineralization. Cornerstone is situated on the Cortez Gold Trend; approximately 12 miles south of Placer Dome`s recently discovered multi-million ounce Cortez Hills and Pediment gold deposits in Eureka County, Nevada.
The surface alteration consists of local zones of iron oxides, carbonate and jasperoid breccia. To date, the zone has been traced for over 3,000 feet along a north-northeast strike direction and up to 800 feet in width. Initial sampling by Nevada Pacific has returned significant gold values and elevated pathfinder elements. Results of the first 35 rock chip samples taken by Nevada Pacific along the zone have been received from ALS Chemex with 12 of these samples returning gold values of greater than 2 ppm with a high of 7.87 ppm (0.228 opt). Surface sampling in the Flag zone revealed a total of 24 of 69 assays greater than 0.025 ounces per ton gold with two samples running as high as 0.274 opt and 0.317 opt. Pathfinder elements range in value up to 1815-ppm arsenic, 296-ppm antimony and 8.08-ppm mercury, indicating classic Carlin-style mineralization in this under-explored area. These results show the zone to be more continuous than previously thought along the 3,000 foot by 800-foot zone. A detailed soil-sampling program over this entire area has been completed. When the assay results are received and permitting has been completed a trenching and drilling program will commence.

Komisch, habe den Thread vorher nicht gesehen - ist er erst nachträglich auf NPG verlinkt worden?
Dass es so still geworden ist, kann ich verstehen - man muss ja eine Wahnsinnsgeduld haben mit diesen Goldminen-Aktien...
Bei Nevada Pacific Gold scheint mir alles zu stimmen - bis auf den aktuellen Kurs. Nun ja, bei Explorationsprojekten muss man wohl mit einigen JAHREN rechnen, so wie S. Olsson am 10.5.05 schrieb: "Die möglichen Explorationserfolge in Nevada können angesichts der Größe und Qualität der Projekte auf Sicht von wenigen Jahren ohnehin eine Verfielfachung der gegenwärtigen Marktkapitalisierung und des Aktienkurses bedeuten."
Freuen wir uns also auf 2010 und halten wir bis dahin unsere paar Scheinchen im Trockenen...

Nevada Pacific bringt ein Bohrgerät zum Cornerstone-Projekt auf dem Cortez-Trend
04.08.2005 Investor Relations
Vancouver, British Columbia, Kanada. 4. August 2005. Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (Frankfurt WKN: 929971, TSX.V: NPG) gibt den Beginn des 10.000 Fuß umfassenden Bohrprogramms auf dem vollständig in Unternehmensbesitz befindlichen Cornerstone-Projekt im County Eureka bekannt.
Das Bohrprogramm besteht aus 10.000 Fuß an Rückspülbohrungen in bis zu 17 Bohrlöchern, die hauptsächlich die Flag Zone anvisieren. Das Cornerstone-Projekt ist Teil des Goldtrends Battle Mountain/Cortez und liegt 12 Meilen südöstlich der 10 Mio.-Unzen-Lagerstätte Cortez Hills/Pediment (Placer Dome 60 %, Kennecott 40 %), drei Meilen östlich vom vollständig im Unternehmensbesitz befindlichen Keystone-Projekt und unmittelbar angrenzend an die 1,4 Mio. Unzen große Liegenschaft Tonkin Springs, die US Gold gehört.
Die Flag-Zone ist 3.000 Fuß lang und 850 Fuß breit und verläuft in nordnordöstlicher Richtung, parallel zu Struktur des Cortez-Trends. Eine Reihe von 500-Fuß-Bohrlöchern wird systematisch verteilt über die Flag-Zone niedergebracht werden mit einer Ausrichtung nach Westen und einem Bohrwinkel von 45 Grad, um die fast vertikalen Strukturen zu prüfen. Ein oder zwei Bohrlöcher sollen 1.000 Fuß Länge erreichen. 24 von 69 Gesteinsproben von der Flag-Zone weisen zwischen 0,025 Unzen Gold pro Tonne und 0,317 Unzen Gold pro Tonne und auf Vererzungen hinweisende Elemente auf (siehe Pressemitteilung 05-36 vom 15. Oktober 2004).
Das Explorationsmodell für Cornerstone ist wie folgt: Carlin-artige Goldvererzungen, die in Sedimenten eingebettet und von steil abfallenden Strukturen bestimmt sind. Goldvererzungen wurden eingebettet in drei verschiedenen Gesteinen auf der Liegenschaft gefunden: in einer tiefliegenden Gesteinsplatte aus dem Devon (Horse Canyon Formation), in einer höhergelegenen Gesteinsplatte aus dem Ordovizium (Vinini Formation) und in Strukturen, die aus dem abdeckenden vulkanischen Gestein aus dem Tertiär, hervortreten.
Das Cornerstone-Projekt liegt innerhalb des 36 Quadratmeilen großen Tonkin-Springs-Projekt, das U.S. Gold Corporation gehört. Die weitere Absteckung von Claims in diesem Gebiet hat die Größe des Cornerstone-Projekts von 3,3 Quadratmeilen auf 4,8 Quadratmeilen erhöht.
"Die aktuellen Ereignisse bei U.S. Gold Corporation und einigen anderen Unternehmen mit Liegenschaften in diesem Gebiet sind ein guter Hinweis darauf, wie die Goldbergbaubranche das Explorationspotenzial des goldreichen Cortez Trends einschätzt. Nevada Pacific hat jetzt 16 Quadratmeilen in diesem aufregenden Gebiet mit den Liegenschaften Keystone und Cornerstone. Die Phase I des Bohrprogramms auf Keystone ist abgeschlossen und das Bohrgerät wurde auf Cornerstone gebracht. Dies sind vielversprechende Explorationsliegenschaften und eine aufregende Zeit für Goldexploration in Nevada", sagte David Hottman, Chairman.
Herr Curt Everson, P.Geol., M.Sc., ist die qualifizierte Person laut National Instrument 43-101 und ist verantwortlich für den Aufbau des Programms und für die Qualitätskontrolle der unternommenen Exploration des Unternehmens in Nevada.

GOLDINVEST-Kolumne: Nevada Pacific Gold - Buy on bad News?
Gutes Management zeigt sich im Umgang mit schlechten Nachrichten. Nevada Pacific Gold hat gestern seinen Aktionären überraschend mitgeteilt, dass die eben erst in Betrieb genommene Magistral Mine in Mexiko ihre Goldgewinnung vorübergehend massiv einschränken wird. Als Gründe werden die gestiegenen Kosten bei Öl, Chemikalien und Stahl genannt sowie saisonale Einschränkungen durch die in diesem Jahr besonders heftigen Regenfälle. Statt also weiter neues Erz abzubauen, wird man sich darauf beschränken, das bereits zur Haufenlaugung gesammelte Golderz durch Laugung zu gewinnen. Die Aktie reagierte umgehend mit einem 10-prozentigen Kurseinbruch, allerdings bei hohen Umsätzen. In der Tat müssten Börsianer diese Situation eigentlich lieben. Denn jetzt kennt der Markt die negativen Fakten. Das zeigt die Handlungsfähigkeit des Managements, denn es hätte genauso die Option bestanden, unauffällig weiter zu machen. Immerhin produziert die Mine seit April positiven Cash Flow und man hätte auch weiter mit schmaler Marge operieren können. Die Enttäuschung wäre dann eben mit Zeitverzögerung im Quartalsbericht offenbar worden.
Die Situation bei Nevada Pacific ist im mehrerer Hinsicht spannend und repräsentativ. Erstens: Die konsequente Managemententscheidung bei Nevada Pacific wirft ein Schlaglicht auf das Kostenproblem, das die gesamt Branche erfasst hat. Nevada Pacific steht ja nicht allein da. Sogar Placer Dome musste im abgelaufenen Quartal 7 Mio. CAD Verlust melden - ein geradezu groteskes Ergebnis, wenn man bedenkt, dass 916.000 Unzen gefördert wurden. Die Hedging-Problematik einmal ausgenommen, bedeutet dies, dass der aktuelle Goldpreis für sehr viele Firmen nicht auskömmlich ist. Die Industrie bräuchte einen höheren Goldpreis, um die gestiegenen Rohstoffkosten zu kompensieren. Die Herausforderung für Nevada Pacific liegt darin, den Betrieb auf der Magistral Mine noch weiter zu optimieren. Am besten, indem man bei den laufenden Erweiterungsbohrungen möglichst hochgradiges Erz hinzufügt.
Zweitens: Nevada Pacific verfügt über eine prall gefüllte Pipeline an potenziellen Nachrichten von ihren Explorationsprojekten. Insgesamt werden in diesem Sommer sechs Projekte von Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. exploriert und getestet, drei davon durch Nevada Pacific selbst, drei durch den Joint Venture Partner Placer Dome. Vier der sechs Explorationsprogramme liegen im so genannten Battle Mountain/Cortez Graben, einem der goldreichsten Gebiete weltweit mit hoher Explorationstätigkeit. Zusätzlich wird die Gesellschaft ein "Follow up"-Bohrprogramm auf dem Bat Ridge Projekt (siehe Pressemitteilung vom 17. März 2005) in Utah durchführen, wo frühere Bohrungen eine Zone mit einer hochgradigen Gold/Kupfer/Silbervererzung in drei Bohrlöchern nachgewiesen haben. Nur vor diesem Hintergrund ist zu verstehen, warum das kanadische Brokerhaus Canaccord Nevada Pacific just am Tag vor der "bad news" als Top-Pick auf ihren Radarschirm genommen hat. Immerhin ist es das erste Mal in der achtjährigen Firmengeschichte, dass Nevada Pacific sein ausgedehntes Explorationsportfolio in Nevada systematisch testet. Denn anders als die meisten anderen Explorationsgesellschaften, hat Nevada Pacific den ersten Finanzierungsschub, den die Branche auf breiter Front Ende 2003 erhielt nicht in Explorationsbohrungen verbraucht, sondern zur Akquise und Rehabilitierung der Magistral Mine verwendet.
Drittens: Bisher wurde Nevada Pacific aufgrund seiner Magistral Mine und der erwarteten Erträge bewertet. Der Markt hat - vielleicht sogar in Vorwegnahme der Betriebsrisiken die eine Mine hat - den grundsoliden Background von erwarteten 30.000 Unzen Jahresproduktion in Mexiko nicht wirklich wert geschätzt. Im Gegenteil: Die Aktie war seit Übernahme der Mine im Frühjahr 2004 in einer Seit-/Abwärtsbewegung und kroch von 1,50 CAD auf jetzt 0,63 CAD herunter. Gleichzeitig wurde der "blue sky" der qualitativ herausragenden Explorationsprojekte im Aktienpreis überhaupt nicht berücksichtigt. Im Vergleich zu anderen, nur explorationsgetriebenen Aktien herrschte bei Nevada Pacific deshalb über eineinhalb Jahre ziemliche Langeweile. Vielleicht führt die gegenwärtige Zäsur dazu, dass das Explorationspotenzial von Nevada Pacific wieder mehr in den Vordergrund rückt. In jedem Falle dürfte es sich lohnen, in den kommenden Wochen zu beobachten, wo die Aktie ihren Boden findet. Von dort könnte sie mit dem anhaltenden Newsflow, der in den kommenden vier bis fünf Monaten von den Nevada-Projekten erwartet wird, leicht wieder nach oben arbeiten. Angesichts der Lage und Qualität der Liegenschaften, die jetzt von Nevada Pacific exploriert werden, ist die Aktie aber auch jederzeit für eine große Überraschungen gut. Gut möglich, dass sich bei Nevada Pacific die alte Börsenregel bewahrheitet: Buy on bad news.

In jedem Falle dürfte es sich lohnen, in den kommenden Wochen zu beobachten, wo die Aktie ihren Boden findet. Von dort könnte sie mit dem anhaltenden Newsflow, der in den kommenden vier bis fünf Monaten von den Nevada-Projekten erwartet wird, leicht wieder nach oben arbeiten. Angesichts der Lage und Qualität der Liegenschaften, die jetzt von Nevada Pacific exploriert werden, ist die Aktie aber auch jederzeit für eine große Überraschungen gut. Gut möglich, dass sich bei Nevada Pacific die alte Börsenregel bewahrheitet: Buy on bad news.

Nevada Pacific Gold Concludes Drilling at Keystone Project
-------------------------------------
News Release 05-20
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange - Symbol NPG) is pleased to announce the successful completion of drilling on the Company`s Keystone Project located in Eureka County, Nevada.
The 100 percent owned Keystone Project is comprised of 338 claims, 11 square miles located on the Battle Mountain/Cortez Gold Trend approximately 12 miles south of Placer Dome`s 10+ million ounce Cortez Hills, Pediment and ET Blue discoveries, which many consider to be the most significant in Nevada over the past 15 years.
The Keystone property includes base and precious metal mineralization that occurs along the edge of the Keystone window in both upper and lower plate rock, near the northern contact of a 33.4 Ma granodiorite stock. The drill program was designed to test mineralized zones identified at surface along the edge of the intrusive for projected base metal high-grade zones.
A total of 3,254 feet was drilled in seven holes. Several zones of disseminated sulfides and semi-massive to massive sulfides were encountered. Widths varied from five feet to several tens of feet thick, the later being mostly disseminated zones. Garnet skarn zones that contained mineralization on surface exhibited mineralization at depth although the consistency and grade of the mineralization remains to be determined. Drilling within the intrusive also exhibited broad zones of sulfides ranging from disseminated to semi-massive. Nevada Pacific is encouraged by the results of the first round of drilling and will report assay results when they are received.
In addition to the drilling, a program of detailed mapping was carried out at a scale of 1:1200 on a large portion of the area surrounding the drill site. This information will be added to the geologic database and will be employed to develop cross sections.
Curt Everson, P. Geo., M.Sc., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken by the Company in Nevada.
Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. was founded in March 1997. The Company owns the Magistral Gold Mine in Mexico and an exploration property portfolio covering approximately 75 square miles of mineral rights including portions of two significant gold producing belts in the State of Nevada. The Company`s BMX, Keystone and Limousine Butte projects are under joint venture agreement to Placer Dome U.S. A description of these projects, including maps and photographs can be viewed on the Company`s website at www.nevadapacificgold.com.
