THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation (“NuLegacy” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NUG; OTCQB: NULG.F) announces that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 75,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.075 per Unit to raise gross proceeds to the Company of C$5.625 million (the “Offering”).

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.125 for a period, subject to acceleration, of 24 months following closing of the Offering.

NuLegacy’s CEO Albert Matter comments that “Our recent winter 2019 drill program and subsequent analysis and geological remodeling strongly support our analysis that the Rift Anticline target bears significant structural and stratigraphic similarities and connectors to Barrick Gold’s Goldrush Carlin-style gold systems approximately 8 kilometers to the northwest.^I

We are utilizing the improved gold market conditions to strengthen our treasury. This will enable us to expand our CSAMT and additional gravity surveys over the Rift Anticline this summer to further advance our interpretation and site targeting for a larger and deeper drill program on the Rift this fall pending approval of our US$500,000 expanded plan of operations over the Red Hill property.”

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to carry out an expanded exploration program on the Rift Anticline including 14-16 planned core holes, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Offering is subject to, among other things, acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) with an initial closing scheduled for on or about May 29, 2020. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing. The Company may pay a cash fee and/or compensation warrants to certain finders and/or advisors in connection with the sale of Units in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
