New Found Gold Corp. Announces Initial Mineral Resource Estimate
Highlights:
| • | Indicated Mineral Resource: 18.0 million tonnes (Mt) grading 2.40 g/t Au[1], for 1.39 million ounces (Moz). |
| • | Inferred Mineral Resource: 10.7 Mt grading 1.77 g/t Au, for 0.61 Moz. |
| • | Quality of Asset: High grade veins starting at surface with minimal overburden cover provides for quick, easy access and potential for selective mining opportunities. |
| • | High-grade core: 73% of the ounces are contained in 24% of the tonnage in the indicated category within the Mineral Resource pit shells. |
| • | Camp Potential: The initial MRE sits within a less than 5% portion of the 110 km long strike extent of the two major structures controlling gold mineralization, where numerous additional gold targets have been identified. |
| • | Infill Potential: This initial MRE has clear potential for expansion between and within the initial MRE pit shells. |
| • | Expansion Potential: Recently announced high-grade gold intersections beyond the initial MRE footprint demonstrates that gold mineralization remains open for expansion beyond this initial MRE both along strike and at depth, with most of the drilling focussed within the first 200 m of surface. |
| • | Continued Advancement: Following the completion of additional metallurgical testwork, a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) is planned for release in late Q2/25. |
Vancouver, BC, March 24, 2025 - New Found Gold Corp. (“New Found Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to announce an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for its 100% owned Queensway Gold Project (“Queensway” or the “Project”), located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found Gold commented: “This initial mineral resource estimate marks a pivotal moment for the Company, as it represents the first evaluation of gold mineralization at Queensway. The completion of this key step allows us to advance the Project, first with the completion of a PEA in late Q2/25 and potentially on to pre-feasibility and feasibility. While the economic evaluation is advancing, exploration of our highly prospective landholdings will continue, with the ultimate objective of building a major new gold mine in central Newfoundland.”
Melissa Render, President of New Found Gold commented: “Today’s announcement validates our track record of systematic exploration leading to multiple discoveries at Queensway and supports that we are on the path to defining a significant gold deposit in a Tier 1 jurisdiction. The initial Mineral Resource estimate is located on a fraction of our highly prospective landholdings, and with ongoing exploration success we see excellent potential to grow the Project and unlock value both for shareholders and nearby communities.”

Initial MRE Overview:
The initial MRE (Table 1) was prepared by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. (“SLR”) in accordance with the 2014 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards and Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). SLR is independent of New Found Gold.
The following is the current Mineral Resource Estimate as at March 15, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
Table 1: MRE Summary (as at the Effective Date)
| Zone | Category | Tonnage (Mt) |
Grade (g/t Au) |
Contained Metal (Moz Au) |
| Open Pit | Indicated | 17.3 | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Inferred | 9.0 | 1.24 | 0.36 | |
| Underground | Indicated | 0.8 | 5.76 | 0.14 |
| Inferred | 1.7 | 4.44 | 0.25 | |
| Total | Indicated | 18.0 | 2.40 | 1.39 |
| Inferred | 10.7 | 1.77 | 0.61 |
Notes:
| 1. | CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources. |
| 2. | Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$2,200 per ounce, and a US$/C$ exchange rate of US$1.00 = C$1.43. |
| 3. | Open pit Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au and constrained by a preliminary optimized pit shell with a pit slope angle of 45°, and bench height of 5 m. |
| 4. | RPEEE (as defined below) for underground Mineral Resources was demonstrated by constraining within reporting panels generated at a cut-off grade of 1.65 g/t Au, with heights (H) of 10 m, lengths (L) of 5 m and minimum widths of 1.8 m. |
| 5. | The optimized pit shell, underground reporting shapes, and cut-off grades were generated by assuming metallurgical recovery of 90%, standard treatment and refining charges, mining costs of C$5.0/t moved for open pit and C$120/t processed for underground, processing costs of C$20/t processed, and general and administrative costs of C$7.5/t processed. |
| 6. | Pierre Landry, P.Geo. of SLR, an independent Qualified Person who prepared the initial MRE is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate |
| 7. | Bulk density within the vein and halo mineralization domains is 2.7 t/m³. |
| 8. | Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. |
| 9. | Numbers may not add due to rounding. |
Grade-Tonnage by Cut-off Grade:
Table 2a and 2b show the variation in tonnes and grades at various gold cut-off grades (“COG”) within the resource pit shell. At a gold cut-off grade of 2 g/t and within the resource pit shell, the Indicated Mineral Resource blocks total 3,854 thousand tonnes (kt) at a grade of 7.16 g/t Au for 887 thousand ounces (koz) and the Inferred Mineral Resource blocks total 993 kt at a grade of 4.16 g/t Au for 133 koz. This represents 73% of the contained ounces in only 24% of the tonnage for the indicated category only.
The opportunity for high-grade starter pits will be investigated as part of the PEA.

Queensway Geology and Structure:
Queensway resides in the eastern Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Appalachians and is centered on a 110-km segment of the district-scale auriferous Appleton and JBP fault zones. The Appleton Fault is a major intraplate fault zone that separates rock packages of contrasting structural style and provides a first order control on gold mineralization. Second order subsidiary faults splay from the Appleton Fault with consistent geometry, orientation and kinematics that repeat throughout the deposit area. They host laminated shear and associated extensional vein arrays as well as hydraulic breccias with large well-developed vugs. Veins consist of quartz, ankerite, chalcopyrite, boulangerite/bournonite, arsenopyrite and pyrite and are associated with NH4 muscovite alteration. The Keats-Baseline Fault is a highly prospective northeast striking secondary fault with an interpreted strike length of 1.9 km. In 2019, while exploring the Keats-Baseline Fault a broad array of visible gold bearing veins was intercepted in what is now the Keats Zone. Since 2019, New Found Gold has discovered key high-grade zones such as Iceberg, Keats West, Golden Joint, Lotto, Jackpot, K2, Monte Carlo, (all within AFZ Core), as well as Golden Dome, Pistachio and Dropkick, where the majority of results were received by the Company after the initial resource database was closed.
MRE Methodology and Parameters:
Reasonable prospects for economic evaluation (“RPEEE”) were demonstrated for the reported MRE by constraining the open pit MRE with a preliminary optimized pit shell, while the underground MRE were constrained within reporting panels.
Open pit MRE were reported above a 0.3 g/t Au reporting cut-off grade. Underground MRE are constrained by reporting panels generated at a cut-off grade of 1.65 g/t Au and a minimum mining width of 1.8 m.
For the purposes of open pit optimization, the block model was re-blocked to 5 m by 5 m by 5 m, while open pit Mineral Resources are reported from a block model regularized to the 2.5 m by 2.5 m by 5 m parent cell size. Underground reporting panels were generated from the original estimation sub-block model, with a minimum sub-block size of 0.625 m by 0.625 m by 1.25 m, which was also used to report the underground Mineral Resources.
| New Found Gold Corp. | 5 | TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC |
| |
MRE classification was based primarily on drill hole spacings of up to approximately 30 m for Indicated Mineral Resources and up to approximately 60 m for Inferred Mineral Resources, which were applied to create continuous classification categories.
High Grade Restriction
Within AFZ Core high grade restrictions were applied, with the restriction process involving two key components, grade restriction threshold and restricted search dimensions. During estimation, composite values exceeding the grade threshold were permitted to have full influence within the restricted ellipsoid, while beyond this range, these values were capped to the threshold to limit their impact. This approach ensured that high-grade samples maintained local influence while preventing the over-projection of higher grades into lower-grade areas.
SLR determined the impact of capping and high-grade restriction to be acceptable and necessary steps to prevent the smearing of high-grade samples throughout the estimate.
Metallurgy
New Found Gold has completed two phases of metallurgical test work on the various mineralized zones. The initial test work evaluated three mineralized zones within the AFZ Core (Keats, Golden Joint, and Lotto). The next phase of work studied mineralization from the Iceberg and Iceberg East zones. See New Found Gold news releases dated April 3, 2024 and November 1, 2024 for additional information.
In 2024, the Company began a third phase of testing using mineralized material also from the AFZ Core (Keats West), which was known to contain free gold and submicroscopic gold associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite. This material was also known to contain varying amounts of organic carbon. Reports are still pending and preliminary results have been provided to the Company for the purposes of the initial MRE.
While test work to date has focussed on a gravity - CIL flowsheet, future test work will continue to investigate flotation for the recovery of refractory gold associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite into a sulphide concentrate that could potentially be processed on site or sold to a third party.
Based on results received to date, a metallurgical recovery of 90% was applied across all deposits and grade ranges based on preliminary gravity, flotation, and CIL test work on samples from Keats, Golden Joint, Lotto, Iceberg, and Iceberg East, that demonstrated acceptable recoveries from samples using gravity-CIL test work, and improved recoveries of gold associated with sulphides by flotation where CIL of the gravity tails was inadequate (particularly from Keats West).
Data Verification
The data used in this Mineral Resource Estimate is supported by Quality Assurance and Quality Control (“QA/QC”) procedures, such as the insertion of certified standards and blanks into the sample stream and the utilization of certified independent analytical laboratories for all assays. The QA/QC data and methodology on the project were reviewed and will be summarized in the NI 43-101 technical report.
| New Found Gold Corp. | 6 | TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC |
| |
Pierre Landry, P.Geo. of SLR, an independent Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101, has reviewed the adequacy of sample preparation, security, and analytical procedures conducted by New Found Gold from the start of the Queensway exploration programs in 2019 through to the Effective Date. This review found no material issues or inconsistencies that could adversely affect the quality or reliability of the data. The QP is of the opinion that:
| • | NFG’s sample preparation procedures are appropriate for the deposit type and mineralization style. |
| • | Analytical methods used, including fire assay, photon assay, and screen fire assay, are suitable for determining gold grades in the Project. |
| • | The QA/QC program, which includes CRMs, blanks, and duplicates, is well-structured, meets industry standards, and provides confidence in the assay data. |
| • | Sample security measures and chain of custody protocols are sufficient to ensure the integrity of the data. |
Overall, Pierre Landry, P.Geo. of SLR, an independent Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101, is of the opinion that NFG’s sampling, analytical methods, and QA/QC program meet industry standards and are suitable for use in the Mineral Resource estimate.
Data verification for the drill hole database included comparing gold assay values used to support the Mineral Resource estimate against the original analytical certificates from ALS and MSALABS, the primary laboratories used by NFG between 2019 and 2024. The review covered a variety of assay methods including: fire assay with AAS or gravimetric finish, photon assay, and screen fire assay.
SLR found no material discrepancies identified that would impact the validity of the Mineral Resource estimate. SLR’s QP is of the opinion that the verification process confirms the reliability of the assay database, ensuring its suitability for use for Mineral Resource estimation.
In accordance with NI 43-101, Pierre Landry, P.Geo., of SLR, conducted a site visit to the Project and related facilities on October 24 and 25, 2024. During this visit, he inspected the Keats and Iceberg trenches, the core shack, and reviewed the logging environment and procedures for data collection and sampling. He also examined core samples from the AFZ Core, AFZ Peripheral, and JBP deposits. In addition, he interviewed NFG’s personnel and gathered information necessary for completing the Mineral Resource estimate and accompanying Technical Report.
Mr. Landry also inspected drill collars and drill hole cores relevant to the Mineral Resource estimation, verifying collar locations using a handheld GPS and visually comparing mineralization with interpreted drilling sections. NFG provided full access to all facilities and personnel during the visit. Mr. Landry was accompanied by Melissa Render, President of NFG.
