March 27, 2012 Reno, NV -- NuLegacy Gold Corporation reports the start of drilling at its Red Hill Project, Eureka County, Nevada. It is anticipated over 25 holes will be drilled in this campaign; the majority will be reverse circulation holes with several core holes as well.
"This Red Hills drill program is the most important exploration campaign in the Company's history", says Roger Steininger NuLegacy's COO. "We are following up on the multiple encouraging indications of gold mineralization and substantial geophysical anomalies identified in our previous work".
The program is designed to determine the size and grade of the gold deposit identified in the Long Fault Anomaly, to follow up on the indications of gold mineralization in the Central Pediment, Central Mineralized and Jasperoid Basin anomalies and explore East Pediment & Coal Canyon targets.

A core drill rig has been mobilized onto the property to drill two core holes off-setting the higher grade gold mineralization in BRH-13 (13.7 meters of 8.1 gpt gold). These two holes as well as five of the reverse circulation holes are testing targets on the Miranda Gold Corp. (TSX-V:MAD) portion of the Red Hill Project.
Reverse circulation drilling on the Red Hills is being conducted by Envirotech Drilling LLC of Winnemucca, NV; core drilling will be conducted by National EWP, LLC of Woodland, CA, all under the direction and supervision of NuLegacy Gold's COO, Dr. Roger Steininger (CPG 7417). All of the drill hole samples will be analyzed by American Assay Labs (Sparks, NV) for gold and a suite of 36 trace elements.
NuLegacy Gold Corporation is a Nevada focused exploration company exploring for Carlin-type replacement gold deposits on its two highly prospective district scale properties; the 100 square km Red Hill Project and the 80 square km Wood Hills South Project. Both projects have geology similar to that of the adjacent multi-million ounce gold discoveries that were made subsequent to our acquisition of the properties. The NuLegacy exploration and drilling programs underway employ proprietary techniques for targeting multi-million ounce deposits.
