Corvus Gold Extends High-Grade Yellowjacket Zone Strike Length to 650 metres with 125 metre North Stepout, Extending New Eastern Vein, North Bullfrog Project, Nevada

Highlights: Hole NB-13-352 - 2.4 metres @ 7.57 g/t Gold (270 metres of Continuous Mineralization)

TSX: KOR  OTCQX: CORVF

VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") - (TSX: KOR, OTCQX: CORVF) announces initial assay results from new core hole NB-13-352 and additional assays from hole NB-13-353 which was partially released previously (NR13-22, September 18, 2013). Hole NB-13-352 encountered 270 metres of continuous mineralization, which included four separate zones of quartz veining. One zone of quartz veining returned 1.2 metres @ 3.07 g/t gold and 8.00 g/t silver and another returned 2.4 metres @ 7.57 g/t gold and 6.90 g/t silver. Hole NB-13-352 has now intercepted high-grade vein mineralization for a distance of nearly 650 metres, which mineralization remains open on all directions (Figure 1).

Complete assays from NB-13-353 show that, in addition to the main vein (7.9 metres @ 10.36 g/t gold and 105.61 g/t silver), there are multiple zones of veining that extend the entire length of the hole (Table 1). These veined intervals occur in a variety of lithologies and, together with NB-13-350 (1.8 metres @ 2.35 g/t gold and 6.62 g/t silver), indicate that the corridor between the main Yellowjacket structures has the potential to host multiple new high-grade vein zones (Figure 1).

Jeff Pontius, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The extension of the Yellowjacket system several hundred metres to the north, as shown by holes NB-13-350 & 352, dramatically expands this high-grade portion of the North Bullfrog deposit.  In addition, the multiple new vein zones identified in hole 352 and the recently announced new vein zone discoveries in RC holes to the west are outlining the potential for continued expansion of high-grade vein system to the west and north.

When put in the context of the greater North Bullfrog District potential and the fact that Sierra Blanca is only the first of several high priority targets to be explored, the overall potential of the Company's North Bullfrog property is demonstrably significant.

This multimillion ounce potential, linked with the excellent project infrastructure, secure mining friendly jurisdiction, projected simple oxide gold recovery and currently estimated low development cost, highlights the exceptional asset controlled by the Company."

Additional Vein Zone and Expansion of Deep Mineralized Zone

Drill hole NB-13-352 was drilled approximately 150 metres north of NB-13-350, where the first eastern quartz veins were discovered. The silver to gold ratio in both holes suggests that the high-grade veins are part of the overall Yellowjacket system. The upper intercept in NB-13-352 is in the same structural position as the veining in NB-13-350, indicating a likely continuity of veining. The second high-grade intercept in NB-13-352 is in a new position and may represent yet another new vein zone.

In addition to the quartz veining, mineralization in the bottom of NB-13-352 (23 metres @ 0.79 g/t gold) is associated with broad pyrite veining/replacement style of mineralization similar to that observed in the bottom of NB-13-350 (42.7 metres @ 0.76 g/t gold), as well as holes NB-13-230 (26 metres @ 1.2 g/t gold, NR-13-20 Sept 5, 2013), NB-13-232 (12.2 metres @ 0.97 g/t gold, NR-13-22 Sept 18, 2013) and NB-13-222 (53.3 metres @ 0.86 g/t gold, NR-13-18 August 7, 2013). This shows that this mineralization style occurs over a strike length of at least 250 metres, is over 100 metres wide and is open in all directions, particularly at depth.  This new style of mineralization could represent a large new zone of gold mineralization that still remains within potentially open pit mining depths.
