Nubian Begins Exploration at Yandoit Gold Project, Victoria, Australia
TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Nubian Resources Ltd. (TSXV: NBR) ("Nubian" or the "Company") is pleased to 
announce the commencement of exploration at the Yandoit Gold Project (the 
"Project"), which covers 32 sq km within three exploration licences in the 
historic Daylesford gold corridor of the Central Victorian Goldfields, 
Australia.  The Company closed the Yandoit Gold Project acquisition in late 
November, and has begun two detailed exploration programs to map and define 
drill targets within the extensive trends of prior mining, mapped quartz reefs 
and prospective fault zones.  

The Company's geologists have prioritized an 8 kilometre long north-south 
trending gold mineralized corridor that extends throughout the Project and 
hosts up to eight historically mined gold bearing quartz reefs within a 
sequence of folded sedimentary rock units.  One of these gold bearing reefs was 
bulk sampled and mined as recently as 2018 by the Project vendor in a shaft to 
27m depth.    

The first program is deep auger soil sampling on an extensive and close-spaced 
grid to test for gold and other metals within thin soils that cover parts of 
known mineralized corridors. The second program is an 18 kilometre Deep 
Penetrating Ground Radar (DPGR) geophysical survey.  The Company has contracted 
Loza Radar Australia to complete and interpret the geophysical data. 

The DPGR survey will provide blanket coverage of known reefs and map their 
trends under cover where historic mining did not occur.  Survey results will be 
utilized to target future drilling which is planned for Q1 2021.  DPGR 
surveying is a preferred geophysical tool that is widely employed in the 
Central Victorian Goldfields and elsewhere to identify and map geological 
structure and quartz reefs at depth within sedimentary hosted rock assemblages. 

Martin Walter, President & CEO of Nubian, commented, "The Central Victorian 
Goldfields are one of the hottest gold exploration districts globally, due to 
the exceptional success of Kirkland Lake's Fosterville gold mine.  We are very 
pleased to have commenced exploration on our three highly prospective 
exploration licenses at Yandoit.  The 1,100 soil sample program being 
undertaken at 25 metre spacing combined with the DGPR survey will provide the 
Company with important geological and geophysical data towards defining drill 
targets for a drill program planned in the first quarter of 2021."

In other news, Nubian announces that the Company has granted, pursuant to its 
stock option plan, to directors, management and consultants of the Company an 
aggregate of 2,495,000 stock options.   Each such stock option entitles the 
holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.42 until 
December 22, 2023.
