Exploits Discovery (NFLD-Cse) Commences Drilling at Titan Gold Target
Aug 23, '22 - NR
Exploits Discovery is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2022 drilling campaign at its Titan gold target located approximately 42 kilometres north-northeast of New Found Gold’s Keats-Lotto high grade gold discovery. The initial drilling consists of approximately 10 – 15 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 3,500 metres. The Company plans to employ 'fan-style' drilling patterns with several inclined undercuts testing subparallel mineralization with potential continuity at depth. Titan is highlighted by historic drilling intercepts of up to 10.22 g/t Au over 3.35 metres in drill core (historic drill hole WP-1; Crosshair Exploration, 2004) and recent Exploits’ rock samples returning values of up to 57.5 g/t Au. Exploits believes that the past drilling, only 1,559 metres over 20 shallow holes, was insufficient and drilling is warranted.
This drill campaign plans to test for gold mineralization suggested by relationships between:
The recent Alpha IP survey geophysical responses,
Our understanding of the historic, very shallow (under 100 metres vertical depth) drilling results by Crosshair Exploration in 2004,
Delineation of the local stratigraphy including potential gold-preferred ‘black shales’ and gabbroic sills, and
Correlation with high-grade rock samples of up to 57.9 g/t Au. President and CEO Jeff Swinoga commented, “The start of drilling at our Titan property is a key milestone in the execution and application of our new Exploration 2.0 methodology. Our talented local team’s hard work and dedication allowed us to reach this stage, and we are looking forward to the results. Furthermore, over ten thousand soil, till and rock assays are pending from our extensive and on-going regional field programs initiated in late April 2022. We anticipate some of these assays should enhance our current targets and potentially generate new ones that Exploits can develop going forward. With over $11 million in cash and no debt, the Company is well capitalized to continue our pursuit of gold discoveries on one of the largest and most strategic land packages in the beautiful province of Newfoundland and Labrador.”
Titan Gold Target
A leading-edge, proprietary Alpha IP™ (“Alpha”) induced polarization geophysical survey was completed earlier this summer by Simcoe Geoscience at Titan straddling a 1000 x 1000-metre block of structurally prepared/deformed bedrock (see July 18, 2022 press release). Compilation work performed by the Exploits exploration team has indicated that mineralization is associated with altered gabbroic intrusions and localized irregular quartz veining that is coincident with geophysical responses highlighted by the Alpha IP survey. Interpretation indicated several zones of combined conductivity (elevated metal content) / resistivity (potential silicification-veining) responses. This survey is an additional layer that compliments historic surface sampling, trenching, and drilling and has identified the potential for deeper and more extensive mineralization.

About Exploits Discovery Corp.
Exploits is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company is actively exploring its gold projects in the Exploits Subzone, covering approximately 2,000 square kilometres of mineral tenements. The Company’s Exploration 2.0 methodology is focused on discovering high-grade structurally hosted epizonal gold similar to New Found Gold’s success at the Keats and Lotto Zones in the Appleton zone. Exploits is leveraging its local team and geologic understanding to become one of the most extensive explorers in the Exploits Subzone.
