2025 Resource Growth and Metallurgical Advances
Nevada King Gold significantly increased its measured and indicated oxide gold resources in 2025. The updated NI 43-101 estimate raised Atlanta’s resource by 122% to over 1 million ounces, grading 1.14 g/t Au. As a result, Atlanta ranks among North America’s highest-grade open-pit oxide gold projects. Meanwhile, Phase 2 metallurgical testing confirmed strong recoveries and enabled a simplified heap leach flowsheet, improving operational efficiency.
Phase 3 Drilling Delivers New Regional Targets
The company completed a 30,000-metre Phase 3 drilling campaign across Atlanta and district-scale targets. This program identified multiple oxide gold prospects, including Silver Park East, which progressed to infill-stage exploration. In addition, Western Rim emerged as a promising early-stage target, with quartz veining samples grading up to 20.8 g/t Au. These results strengthen Nevada King Gold’s regional exploration pipeline and future resource potential.
Strategic Outlook for 2026
Nevada King enters 2026 with a fully funded Phase 4 program, targeting Silver Park East, Atlanta South, Atlanta North, and Western Rim. Planned activities include infill drilling, structural follow-ups, and geophysical surveys to advance satellite oxide resources. CEO John Sclodnick emphasized disciplined growth, focusing on expanding ounces while optimizing costs. Leadership enhancements in 2025 further support execution of the 2026 exploration strategy.
ScrapInsight Commentary
Nevada King Gold’s 2025 achievements substantially de-risk Atlanta’s resource base. The 2026 Phase 4 program targets regional expansion, likely increasing oxide gold ounces. Regulatory stability in Nevada supports predictable project development, aligning with circular economy principles in responsibly sourcing precious metals.
