PART 2 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

What is our business?

NevGold is an active mineral exploration and development company with properties in the Western USA (Nevada and Idaho) and Canada. The Company has actively explored its projects of merit since it completed an amalgamation in June 2021, which constituted a reverse takeover of NevGold pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company intends to actively explore its mineral projects in 2023, with drill programs at its Limousine Butte project in Nevada and Nutmeg Mountain project in Idaho.

Recent developments

Over the course of 2022, NevGold released positive, oxide gold drill results from its 10,000 meter drill program completed at its Limousine Butte project in Nevada. The two key target areas drilled were Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley and both areas showed thick, near-surface, oxide gold mineralization.

In July 2022, the Company announced that it obtained an option to acquire 100% of the Nutmeg Mountain gold project in Idaho from GoldMining Inc. (TSX:GOLD, NYSE:GLDG) and completed a concurrent $1,000,000 private placement with GoldMining Inc. subscribing for 1,481,481 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of $0.675 per share. Preliminary exploration at Nutmeg Mountain has been completed, and NevGold is planning a 2023 drill program at the project. The option agreement provides for property expenditures of $1.5 million by June 1, 2023, and $750,000 by December 31, 2023, and includes option payments totaling $6,000,000 over a three-year period to be made in either cash or common shares at the election of the Company.

In August, 2022, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,723,076 flow-through units at a purchase price of $0.65 per unit, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,119,999.

Material facts

There are no material facts about the securities being distributed that have not been disclosed in this offering document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this offering document.

What are the business objectives that we expect to accomplish using the available funds?

The Company intends to use the net funds from the Offering for more exploration and resource delineation drilling in 2023 at the Limousine Butte (Nevada) and Nutmeg Mountain (Idaho) mineral projects targeted at advancing both projects towards updated mineral resource estimates. With the anticipated minimum funding, the Company’s priorities are to:

  1. Continue to advance Limousine Butte with further drilling in 2023, and potentially advance the project to an updated mineral resource estimate by Q4-2023 if the drill program is successful.
    • The cost to complete this work is estimated to be approximately $800,000 to be spent over Q1-Q3 of 2023.
  1. Complete an inaugural drill program at Nutmeg Mountain in Idaho. If this drill program is successful, the Company would look to update the project’s mineral resource estimate by Q4-2023. A drill program of this size would enable the Company to meet the minimum $1.5 million project expenditure commitment by June 1, 2023 under its option agreement with GoldMining Inc.
    • The cost to complete this work is estimated to be approximately $1.1 million, to be spent over Q1-Q3 of 2023.

The above noted allocation and anticipated timing represents the Company’s current intentions with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge, planning and expectations of management of the Company. Although the Company intends to expend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan.

The most recent audited annual financial statements and interim financial report of the Company included a going-concern note. The Company is still in the exploration stage and the Company has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Company to continue to explore its properties and conduct additional drilling with the goal of updating mineral resource estimates, and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in the next annual financial statements of the Company.
