Nevada King holds gold bullion as part of treasury management program

NEVADA KING ANNOUNCES GOLD BULLION HOLDINGS AS PART OF TREASURY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

PR Newswire

VANCOUVER, BC , Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevada King Gold Corp. (TSXV: NKG) (OTCQX: NKGFF) (" Nevada King " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that, as part of a treasury management program approved by its Board of Directors, it has purchased C$8M in exchange-traded securities backed by physical gold bullion held by the Royal Canadian Mint, representing exposure to approximately 1,240oz of gold. The securities were acquired at an average cost of approximately US$4,340 per ounce. The Company does not anticipate liquidating this position for at least 12 months.

To fund anticipated expenditures over the next 12 months, including the Phase 4 drill program, the Company holds portions of its treasury in interest-bearing operating accounts, with an additional C$5M held in short term investments, consisting of GICs and short-duration, investment-grade debentures with rolling maturities ranging from one to 10 months. The Company expects to hold these securities to maturity, at which point the proceeds will either be held in operating accounts to fund near term expenditures or reinvested in similar securities with an appropriate duration. As at September 21, 2026, the Company's cash, short term investments, and gold holdings totaled approximately C$16M.

John Sclodnick, CEO of Nevada King, commented: "While this is a new approach to treasury management for an exploration stage company, our cash and short-term investments are sufficient to cover our anticipated spending beyond the next 12 months, including our ongoing Phase 4 drill program. This allows us to take a longer view on allocating the balance of our treasury and rather than hold that portion entirely in cash, we have chosen to hold gold, the commodity that the Company explores for. As a result, the value of this portion of our treasury will now rise and fall with the gold price."

Risks Relating to the Treasury Management Program

The Company's gold holdings expose its treasury to the price of gold which can decline over short periods. The market value of the holdings may fall below their acquisition cost, and the Company may realize a loss if the holdings are sold. Because gold is priced in US dollars and the Company reports in Canadian dollars, the value of the holdings is also exposed to changes in the US/Canadian dollar exchange rate. A decline in value would reduce capital available to fund the Company's exploration programs. The exchange-traded securities are not cash equivalents and may be less liquid than cash or short-term investments and are subject to the terms of the securities and the performance of their issuer. The holdings are expected to be measured at fair value, which will introduce volatility into the Company's reported financial results from period to period. There is no assurance that holding gold will preserve or increase the value of the Company's treasury relative to holding cash.
