Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 18, 2026) – Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSXV: HWY) (“Highway 50” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of a 10 to 15-hole drill program at its 100% owned Gold Knob Au project, located in north-central Nevada.
The 5,000-metre Phase I program is designed to offset known gold mineralization as well as testing the Company’s interpretation that a major gold system exists at depth. Most holes will range from 180 m to 425 m (600-1,400 ft) deep, depending on ground conditions.
The Gold Knob project hosts gold mineralization in both Upper-plate Valmy rocks and Lower-plate Comus rocks, traceable on surface and in previous drill holes for roughly 5 km. These are the same host rock types found in the Turquoise Ridge District. At a regional level, the project shows deep crustal similarities to the nearby Cortez District, including the intersection of the Caetano trough and the Northern Nevada Rift Central.
