NevGold CEO, Brandon Bonifacio, comments: "We are pleased to announce the closing of the financing with Mercer. With the funds now secured, we will ramp up immediately with drilling at our Nutmeg Mountain (Idaho) and Limousine Butte (Nevada) projects, and we will also further advance our fieldwork at the highly prospective Zeus copper project (Idaho). We have made significant progress at Zeus in 2024, and there will be further updates out shortly on our current field program. We strongly believe that we have timed our financing extremely well to ensure that we advance our portfolio as market conditions continue to improve."
