NuLegacy Gold Engages Mark Bradley as Exploration Manager

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation (TSXV: NUG; OTCQB: NULG.F) is pleased to report that Mr. Mark Bradley, a Senior Project/Chief Geologist for Barrick Gold Corporation supervising major exploration teams and a Principal Geologist assessing new North American exploration opportunities, has joined NuLegacy Gold as Nevada Exploration Manager. 

Mark was the Cortez Project team leader during the discovery and definition of Barrick Gold’s multi-million-ounce Goldrush deposit.  For this he was a co-recipient of the prestigious Thayer Lindsley Award for International Mineral Discovery from the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada.  During the Goldrush discovery program he guided and managed the Cortez exploration team of 20+ geologists and a couple hundred drilling, construction and logistical contracting personnel.

Mark worked with all the members of NuLegacy’s team of former Barrick Gold executives and geologists during their tenures at Barrick Gold.  He will be responsible for the administration and execution of NuLegacy’s exploration programs so the geo-technical team can, with his input, focus exclusively on interpretive geology and locating the down-dip source/s of the high-grade intercepts drilled to date.   

As well as developing the Spring 2020 exploration program Mark will prioritize streamlining the permitting process to complete the expansion of the AV Plan of Operations (PoO) environmental permit in anticipation of drilling the highly prospective Rift Anticline in the fall of 2020.  Assays from the Fall 2019 drilling are being processed for reporting mid-February.
