About NuLegacy: The Iceberg gold deposit has an established exploration target of 90-110 million tonnes of 0.9 to 1.1 grams of gold per tonnei. It is located in the Cortez gold trend of Nevada, adjacentii to three of Barrick's multi-million ounce Carlin-type gold deposits that are amongst its lowest cost and politically safest gold assets.iii
i These figures are conceptual in nature and derived from a compilation of 149 historic and 34 NuLegacy drill holes in and around the Iceberg deposit. To date, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
ii The similarity and close proximity of these deposits to the Iceberg is not necessarily indicative of the gold mineralization in the Iceberg deposit.
iii As extracted from Barrick's Q4-2013 and Q1-2014 reports.
