Corvus Gold Initial Gravity and Cyanide Leaching Tests Return High Recoveries Averaging 89% for Gold and 73% for Silver

Highlights: Coarse grind size of 65 mesh for gravity separation & 100 mesh for tail leaching tests

Vancouver, B.C… Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) – (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) announces the results of the initial follow-up gravity gold recovery testing and cyanide leaching of the gravity tail material from the main vein and stockwork core of the Yellowjacket deposit.  These test samples are representative of an estimated 70% of the gold and 85% of the silver within the Yellowjacket deposit estimated resource (follow-up to initial grind size test results announced in NR14-13, May 5, 2014).

These initial results have produced high weighted recoveries for this zone, with an average of 89.2% for gold and 73% for silver (Tables 1 and 2).  Of interest, 40% of the gold (weighted average) recovers via gravity separation with the concentrate reporting to just 0.06% of the processed material (a very high concentration ratio of greater than 1500 to 1).

The residual tail material after the gravity separation process produced an average weighted recovery in cyanide bottle roll tests of approximately 84% for gold and 71% for silver, which is similar to the average gold recovery from the oxide heap leach material.  In addition, reagent consumptions are low as in earlier studies, averaging below 0.15 kg/t CN and about 1.5 kg/t for lime.  Test work is ongoing for the surrounding, primarily lower grade, material hosting the remaining estimated 30% of gold and 15% of silver within the Yellowjacket deposit.

The tests were conducted at a coarse grind size of 65 mesh for the gravity separation and 100 mesh for the bottle roll tests, confirming the earlier grind size optimization results reported in NR14-13.  These results indicate a clear path to proceed with optimization studies for the design of a simple, coarse grind, high recovery, milling circuit for the Yellowjacket deposit.

The envisioned system would include initial gravity separation of coarse gold and silver followed by cyanide leaching of the gravity tail either as an agglomerated product on the leach pad or in a standard CIL leach circuit for final gold-silver recovery.  The ongoing metallurgical testing will focus on maximizing gold-silver recovery and minimizing potential processing costs.  These studies are intended to better define the mill flow sheet, plant design and estimated actual recovery predictions for operations.

The Yellowjacket Deposit (Figure 1) remains open along strike to the north and south, and down dip as reflected in hole NB-13-370, drilled to a down dip extent of 170 metres, which intersected one of the best vein intervals drilled to date on the North Bullfrog Project (4.9m @ 21.2 g/t gold & 117.0 g/t silver within an overall vein stockwork zone of 42m @ 4.9 g/t gold & 30 g/t silver (NR14-03, January 22, 2014)).  The Company’s continuing 2014 drill program is targeting the expansion of the Yellowjacket deposit and has defined to date a new vein system to the west (NB-14-378 – 9.2m @ 17.9 g/t gold and 260 g/t silver (NR14-11, April 3, 2014)) and an extension of the system to the north (NB-14-391 17.5m @ 12.8 g/t gold and 62 g/t silver (NR14-14, May 22, 2014)).  In addition, the 2014 program will test new, large, structural zone targets which have the potential to host other Yellowjacket type high-grade systems.

About the North Bullfrog Project, Nevada

Corvus controls 100% of its North Bullfrog Project, which covers approximately 68 km² in southern Nevada.  The property package is made up of a number of private mineral leases of patented federal mining claims and 758 federal unpatented mining claims.  The project has excellent infrastructure, being adjacent to a major highway and power corridor as well as a large water right.

Based upon a USD 1300 gold price and a silver to gold price ratio of 59:1, the North Bullfrog Project currently has estimated mineral resources defined in six deposits: the structurally controlled Yellowjacket milling deposit and the oxidized disseminated heap leach Sierra Blanca, Jolly Jane, Air Track West, Connection and Mayflower deposits.  The Yellowjacket vein-style deposit has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 3.69 Mt at an average grade of 1.03 g/t gold and 5.52 g/t silver for 122,000 contained ounces of gold and 654,000 ounces of silver and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 18.40 Mt with an average grade of 0.94 g/t gold and 6.16 g/t silver for 555,000 contained ounces of gold and 3.64M ounces of silver, both at a 0.29 g/t gold cutoff.

The five oxidized disseminated heap leach deposits contain an Indicated Mineral Resource of 25.72 Mt at an average grade of 0.29 g/t gold for 240,000 contained ounces of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 185.99 Mt at 0.19 g/t gold for 1,120,000 contained ounces of gold (both at a 0.13 g/t gold cut-off), with appreciable silver credits.
