MONTREAL, QUEBEC-- - NEVADO RESOURCES CORPORATION (TSX VENTURE:VDO)(FRANKFURT:NSV) ("NEVADO" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has started exploration on the Fermont graphite property. The goal of this initial program is to identify the graphite conductors using a Beep Mat and excavate trenches on the best conductors to assess the property's potential.

Michael Curtis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NEVADO, said that: "This first program will give us an idea of the potential of the Fermont property. Our property has the advantage of being situated directly east of Focus Graphite's Lac Knife deposit (measured and indicated resource of 4.97 Mt at 15.67% Cgr) and hosting a large number of electromagnetic anomalies. Many of these anomalies are strong and plurimetric in size, which is an excellent indicator of the presence of graphite-rich masses. Furthermore, the geology, which is similar to the adjacent properties with recognized graphite potential, is favourable in every way to the presence of graphite mineralization."
