Wed, January 18, 2023 at 3:30 a.m. PST·19 min read

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, January 18, 2023--( BUSINESS WIRE)--New Found Gold Corp. ("New Found" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to announce the results from 51 diamond drill holes that were completed as part of an ongoing systematic and targeted drill program exploring the highly prospective segment of the Appleton Fault Zone ("AFZ") from the south end of the Keats Main Zone to the Knob Zone. New Found’s 100% owned Queensway project comprises an approximately 1,650km2 area, accessible via the Trans-Canada Highway approximately 15km west of Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Table 1: Keats Main South, TCH and Rocket Drilling Highlights

1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 60% to 90% of the reported interval. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Composite intervals reported carry a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2m with a maximum of 2m consecutive dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au. Grades have not been capped in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness.

  • Systematic and targeted drilling along the highly prospective AFZ corridor has continued to delineate high-grade gold mineralization now extending 1.5km south of Keats, including the discovery of the new TCH Zone, and new veins and structures around existing zones. Importantly, the high-grade corridor of gold along the AFZ has now been tracked over 4.1km from Lotto North/Zone 36 down to Knob, with much of this area remaining underexplored (Figure 1).

  • At the southern extension of the Keats Main Zone (Keats Main South) the Company continues to intersect high-grade gold mineralization following up on its October 18, 2022. release. Highlight intercepts include 25.31 g/t Au over 2.45m and 72.7 g/t Au over 2.20m in NFGC-22-774 and 4.59 g/t Au over 14.90m in NFGC-22-845. The high-grade gold associated with the Keats-Baseline Fault Zone, the structure that hosts the Keats Main Zone, has now been traced over a strike length of 1.1km and down to a vertical depth of 400m (Figures 1- 4).

  • Systematic reconnaissance grid drilling south of the Trans-Canada highway along the eastern side of the AFZ identified a new gold-bearing zone called "TCH (Trans Canada Highway)" with intercepts of 79.6 g/t Au over 2.00m in NFGC-22-863, 10.5 g/t Au over 2.45m in NFGC-22-642 and 1.02 g/t Au over 10.70m in NFGC-22-703. This structure is located in the footwall to the AFZ and has been intersected over a strike length of 190m and down to a vertical depth of 300m (Figures 1-4).

  • At Knob, a new vein called "Rocket" has been discovered 100m to the east, with a highlight interval of 12.63 g/t Au over 4.45m in NFGC-22-704 intersected at a vertical depth of 65m. The Knob zone is a historical discovery with mineralization hosted within an east-west striking structure largely constrained to greywacke which has been traced over a strike length of 160m and has seen minimal modern-day drilling (Figures 1, 2 and 4).

  • Additional drilling into the 421 Zone, a moderately southwest-dipping structure that runs at an oblique angle to the Keats Main Zone has intersected the highlight interval of 10.5 g/t Au over 2.30m in NFGC-22-733. This structure likely plays a role in concentrating high-grade gold where it interacts with the Keats-Baseline Fault (Figures 1 and 4).

  • Melissa Render, VP Exploration for New Found stated: "From the Rocket Vein at Knob to Lotto North measures an impressive 4.1km stretch of the AFZ that continues to produce new discoveries both on the east and west side of this regional-scale fault. It is a lot of ground to cover but from a first pass of drilling, results indicate that the system’s strength continues. We will persist with aggressive follow-up drilling which involves tracing the structures that are known to host high-grade gold and determining the controls responsible for producing both high and low-grade gold domains from which we can expand on."

    Table 3: Details of drill holes reported in this press release

    Queensway 500,000m Drill Program Update

    The Company is currently undertaking a 500,000m drill program at Queensway. Approximately 51,000m of core is currently pending assay results.

    Sampling, Sub-sampling, and Laboratory

    True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined and further exploration is required. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2m with a maximum of 2m consecutive dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au.

    All drilling recovers HQ core. Drill core is split in half using a diamond saw or a hydraulic splitter for rare intersections with incompetent core.

    A geologist examines the drill core and marks out the intervals to be sampled and the cutting line. Sample lengths are mostly 1.0 meter and adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow (<1.0m) veins or other structures that may yield higher grades.

    Technicians saw the core along the defined cutting line. One-half of the core is kept as a witness sample and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into totes, sealed and marked with the contents.

    NFG submits samples for gold determination by fire assay to ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS") and by photon assay to MSALABS ("MSA") since June 2022. ALS and MSA operate under a commercial contract with New Found.

    Drill core samples are shipped to ALS for sample preparation in Sudbury, Ontario, Thunder Bay, Ontario, or Moncton, New Brunswick. ALS is an ISO-17025 accredited laboratory for the fire assay method.

    Drill core samples are also submitted to MSA in Val-d’Or, Quebec. MSA operates numerous laboratories worldwide and maintains ISO-17025 accreditation for many metal determination methods. Accreditation of the photon assay method at the MSA Val D’Or laboratory is in progress.

    At ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2mm. A 3,000-g split is pulverized. "Routine" samples do not have visible gold (VG) identified and are not within a mineralized zone. Routine samples are assayed for gold by 30-g fire assay with an inductively-couple plasma spectrometry (ICP) finish. If the initial 30-g fire assay gold result is over 1 g/t, the remainder of the 3,000-g split is screened at 106 microns for screened metallics assay. For the screened metallics assay, the entire coarse fraction (sized greater than 106 microns) is fire assayed and two splits of the fine fraction (sized less than 106 microns) are fire assayed. The three assays are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Samples that have VG identified or fall within a mineralized interval are automatically submitted for screened metallic assay for gold.

    At MSA, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2mm. For "routine" samples that do not have VG identified and are not within a mineralized zone, the samples are riffle split to fill two 450g jars for photon assay. The assays reported from both jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. If one of the jars assays greater than 1 g/t, the remaining crushed material is weighed into multiple jars and are submitted for photon assay.

    For samples that have VG identified or are within a mineralized zone, the entire crushed sample is weighed into multiple jars and are submitted for photon assay. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis.

    All samples prepared at ALS or MSA are also analyzed for a multi-element ICP package (ALS method code ME-ICP61) at ALS Vancouver.

    Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices. Standards and blanks account for a minimum of 10% of the samples in addition to the laboratory’s internal quality assurance programs.

    Quality Control data are evaluated on receipt from the laboratories for failures. Appropriate action is taken if assay results for standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances. All results stated have passed New Found’s quality control protocols.

    New Found’s quality control program also includes submission of the second half of the core for approximately 5% of the drilled intervals. In addition, approximately 1% of sample pulps for mineralized samples are submitted for re-analysis to a second ISO-accredited laboratory for check assays.

    The Company does not recognize any factors of drilling, sampling or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed.

    The assay data disclosed in this news release have been verified by the Company’s Qualified Person against the original assay certificates.

    The Company notes that it has not completed any economic evaluations of its Queensway Project and that the Queensway Project does not have any resources or reserves.

    Qualified Person

    The scientific and technical information disclosed in this press release was reviewed and approved by Greg Matheson, P. Geo., Chief Operating Officer, and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Matheson consents to the publication of this press release dated January 18, 2023, by New Found.
