NSGOLD RECEIVES INITIAL GOLD ASSAYS FOR THE MOOSELAND DRILLING PROGRAM

VANCOUVER, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - NSGold Corporation (NSX : TSXV) is pleased to report initial drill results from the 6,000 meter drill program currently underway on its wholly owned Mooseland Gold Project in Halifax County, Nova Scotia. To date assays have been received for two complete holes (NSG 1-10 and NSG 2-10) and selected partial sections of other holes with the selection criteria being determined by the quantity of visible gold in the core or the geologic features of the sample.

Significant intersections, grading in excess of 1 gram gold per tonne, are detailed in the table below.

Hole Number	From (m)	To (m)	Width (m)	Au Grade (g/t)	Equivalent Au Grade (Troy oz/t)
NSG 1 -10	98.4	99.3	0.90	15.61	0.50
NSG 1 -10	228.7	229.2	0.50	20.92*	0.67
NSG 2- 10	73.5	74.0	0.50	11.62**	0.37
NSG2-  10	95.1	95.6	0.50	33.21***	1.07
NSG 2 -10	112.8	113.2	0.40	9.99	0.32
NSG 3 -10	59.85	60.4	0.55	39.49**	1.27

*	average of 2 assays
**	average of 3 assays
***	average of 4 assays

All the above gold intercepts occurred in veins of a dark grey smoky quartz known to be the primary host for gold in the Meguma formations.  Drilling has consistently intercepted such veins, many of which do not show visible gold at the point of intersection, but do contain anomalous gold values. Consequently, they are considered to be potential ore zones. 

The disparity in gold distribution is due to the fact that gold occurs as discrete nuggets of free gold within these veins and is not uniformly distributed.  This disparity is illustrated by the results obtained during the preparation of the Technical Report on the Mooseland Property dated April 8, 2010 and prepared by Minetech International (Minetech) of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Technical Report is available at www.sedar.com. The results in the table below are from random sampling carried out by MineTech on the Azure Resources Corp. drill core. Independent assays were performed at that time.

Sample number	2003 Result (g/t Au)	2009 Result (g/t Au)
17512	0.12	51.84
17518	2.88	0.477
17546	0.59	0.316
17578	0.01	0.055

A review of the results of past drilling programs (Hecla Mines Canada 1987-89 and Azure Resources 2003) indicates the results obtained to date by NSGold are consistent with those of the earlier programs.

Compilation and analysis of the drilling results is progressing and this information will be made available as it is completed.

Mooseland Drilling Update

Seven diamond drill holes have now been completed on the East Zone of the Mooseland Project and thirteen diamond drill holes have been completed on the West Zone for a total of twenty drill holes as part of the Phase I Program. The Phase I Program is expected to total twenty-five drill holes comprising in excess of 6,000 meters of drilling. 

Samples for the first seven drill holes have been shipped to Laboratoire Expert of Rouyn - Noranda, Quebec for assay and results are pending.
