Exploits Announces New Gold Discovery at Bullseye with High-Grade Result Averaging 38.21 g/t over 2.80 m

13.06.2023  |  Newsfile

Toronto, June 13, 2023 - Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQX: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) ("Exploits" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from four recent diamond drill holes at the newly discovered "Horseshoe" Gold Zone on its 100% owned Bullseye property along the Appleton Fault Zone ("AFZ"). Of note, 55 grains of visible gold were observed within a network of quartz veins in drill hole BE-23-019, located approximately 450 metres north of New Found Gold's recently reported high-grade intercepts at Everest in central Newfoundland.

Horseshoe Gold Zone Highlights:

  • BE-23-019 intersected 38.21 g/t Au over 2.80 m core-length, located at a vertical depth of approximately 145 m below surface, where 55 grains of visible gold were noted within a network of quartz veins.
    • Including 118.92 g/t Au contribution from a 0.85 m sample.
  • BE-23-015 intersected 4.65 g/t Au over 2.00 m core-length, located at a vertical depth of approximately 166 m below surface.
    • Including 8.90 g/t Au contribution from a 0.80 m sample.
  • Horseshoe Gold Zone remains open in all directions.
  • Diamond drilling totaling 11,292 m has been safely and cost-effectively completed over the 30-hole first phase evaluation at Bullseye.
  • Assay results from 18 of the 30 drill holes have been received and publicly reported to date. The results from the 12 remaining drill holes are pending.

Jeff Swinoga, President and CEO, comments, "We are thrilled to announce our first gold discovery called Horseshoe on our Bullseye property. Our first phase of drilling so far has intercepted visible gold in a half-dozen drill holes and generated several high-grade intercepts up to 118.92 g/t Au. Consistent with the high-grade intercepts that our peers are reporting just south of Bullseye, our geologists are seeing mineralization within a complex network of multi-stage quartz veins. I am very proud of our local team's accomplishments during the first phase of our drilling campaign."

Horseshoe Interpretation:

Mineralization at the Bullseye property is hosted within a fold-thrust sequence of northeast-striking, steeply dipping, turbidite sequence. These rocks were deposited and deformed during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continent-continent collision. The Appleton Fault Zone is a regional scale deformation zone that developed during this period. The AFZ likely serves as a primary conduit for gold-bearing fluids. Brittle faults within the envelope surrounding the AFZ form a vast network of gold rich quartz veins.

Visible gold has been noted within 8 drill holes contributing to the locally high-grade intercepts. Several wide intervals of gold mineralization, in the 1.00 - 3.00 g/t range, are linked to quartz veining with elevated sulphide content. Notable sulphide minerals, such as pyrite, arsenopyrite, and boulangerite have been observed within the veins and in the surrounding host rocks. Within the Horseshoe zone, visible gold is found in brecciated and locally annealed vuggy quartz veins, features characteristic of epizonal gold deposits.

Bullseye Gold Property

The Bullseye claims were staked by Exploits in September 2022, and are contiguous to the very active targets currently being drilled by both New Found Gold and Labrador Gold. The claims are considered by the Company's geologists to be highly prospective because they directly overlay a 1,200 by 400 metre segment of the Appleton Fault and its related splay structures. Over a dozen exploration drill rigs have been employed by the three companies operating within this structural-stratigraphic setting over the past two years.

Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")

All prospective NQ core is logged and delineated for sampling by an Exploits' professional geologist. The core is subsequently halved by a diamond-bladed core saw by the Company's technicians with one half being placed in a bag with a unique sample identification. The remaining half core is retained within the Company's secure storage facility in Gander, NL. Sample bags are sealed and then shipped directly to Eastern Analytical Ltd. Certified standards and blanks are inserted at defined intervals following the Company's QA/QC documented procedures, representing approximately 5% of all samples sent for assaying. All core samples are currently analyzed at Eastern Analytical Ltd. of 403 Little Bay Road, Springdale, NL, a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of Exploits. Samples are analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish (Au-FAA 30 ppb process) and/or a four-acid digestion followed by multi-element ICP-OES analysis. All samples with visible gold or assaying above 10.0 g/t Au are further assayed using metallic screen to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold. Metallic screen assays are reported as 'Weighted Averaged ppb' directly calculated from the lab.
