NEVADA SUNRISE APPOINTS JOHN OLDOW TO TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD

JANUARY 26, 2016, Vancouver, British Columbia - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. John S. Oldow, Ph.D, to its Advisory Board as a geological technical advisor.

Dr. Oldow has over 40 years of experience in the field of geology, and is currently Director of the Ellison Miles Center for Geological Field Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas. His work is largely field based and includes geologic mapping and the application of structural and stratigraphic analysis, potential-field geophysics, GPS geodesy and Terrestrial Laser Scanning to better understand regional tectonics. He attained a Bachelor of Science, Geology from the University of Washington in 1972 and his Ph.D. in Geology from Northwestern University in 1978. Among the many tributes he has received in his long academic and professional career, Dr. Oldow has served by invitation on numerous committees for the National Science Foundation, and is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America (1992).

The results of Dr. Oldow's recent field work in western Nevada on regional tectonics in the Walker Lane trend, specifically in Esmeralda County, led to the application of his work by Nevada Sunrise in its lithium brines exploration. His co-authored 2015 paper on the results of detailed gravity surveys in the Lida Valley prompted the acquisition of the Gemini Project, staked by Nevada Sunrise over two, deep sub-basins. Dr. Oldow's other proprietary geophysical work has assisted Nevada Sunrise in staking new claims at the Aquarius Project in the Clayton Valley, and in the staking of additional claims at the Atlantis Project in the Fish Lake Valley.
