Exhibit 99.1

Nevada Gold Holdings Inc. Announces 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split

Walnut Creek, CA, October 7, 2010 – Nevada Gold Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NGHI), a mineral exploration company focused on identifying and developing large-scale gold deposits in Nevada, today announced that its one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, which became effective for corporate purposes on September 15, 2010, became effective on the OTC Bulletin Board for trading purposes at the opening of business on October 5, 2010. FINRA has advised the Company’s that its common stock will be trading under the symbol “NGHID” for 20 business days in connection with the reverse stock split. The ticker symbol should revert to “NGHI” on or about November 2, 2010.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every fifteen shares of common stock outstanding will be exchanged for one share of common stock and the total number of shares outstanding will be reduced from approximately 76.4 million to approximately 5.1 million. No fractional shares will be issued in association with the reverse stock split, and holders who would otherwise receive fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the next whole share.

“This is an important first step to revamp the capitalization of the Company and begin our financial restructuring,” said CEO David Rector. “We believe that this will enable us to attract new investors and pave the way for planned financing for our drilling project on the Tempo property.”
