NEVADA KING GRADUATES TO THE PREMIUM OTCQX BEST MARKET, ENHANCING VISIBILITY FOR U.S. INVESTORS PR Newswire VANCOUVER, BC , June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) (" Nevada King " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that its common shares have been approved to begin trading today on the OTCQX® Best Market under the ticker symbol "NKGFF". The Company graduates to the premium tier from the OTCQB® Venture Market. The OTCQX® Best Market is the highest tier of the OTC Markets Group, designed for established investor-focused U.S. and international companies.

To qualify, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best-practice corporate governance, and demonstrate strict compliance with applicable securities laws. Graduating to OTCQX marks a significant milestone for Nevada King, validating its corporate standards and substantially elevating its profile within the U.S. investment community. John Sclodnick, CEO of Nevada King, commented: "Trading on the OTCQX is a major milestone that directly supports our strategy to expand Nevada King's reach across North American capital markets.

Completing our strategic share consolidation on May 7, 2026 was a key catalyst that allowed us to meet the financial and share price thresholds required for this premium tier. "This upgrade significantly enhances our visibility among U.S. institutional and retail investors by providing a more transparent, highly accessible, and efficient platform to trade our stock. Ultimately, we expect this move to streamline the investment process for our U.S. partners at a time when our 40,000-metre Phase 4 drill program at the Atlanta Gold Mine project is hitting full stride." The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "NKG".

The OTCQX quotation involves no change in the Company's share capital, and U.S. investors who previously held or traded the stock on the OTCQB will automatically see their shares traded on the premium OTCQX market going forward.
