Core Viewpoint - Exploits Discovery Corp. has commenced its winter drill campaign at the Fenton gold project in Québec, aiming to expand known gold mineralization and enhance its growth strategy in the region [1][2]. Company Overview - Exploits Discovery Corp. is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on increasing gold ounces in top-tier mining jurisdictions in Québec and Ontario, with projects including Fenton, Wilson, Benoist, and Hawkins [12]. - The company holds a strategic equity position and royalty exposure to New Found Gold Corp. following the sale of its Newfoundland claims in 2025 [12]. Project Details - The Fenton Project consists of 18 contiguous claims covering approximately 760.7 hectares, with the company holding an option to acquire a 100% interest from Cartier Resources Inc. [4]. - The geological setting of the Fenton system is located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt along the Guercheville Deformation Zone, known for hosting gold mineralization [5]. Drilling Program - The winter drill campaign is structured as an initial ~1,400 meters "priority phase," with the broader campaign expected to total approximately 3,000 to 5,000 meters, depending on results and field conditions [2][6]. - Initial drilling will focus on known high-grade mineralization and evaluate strong electro-magnetic conductors and magnetic corridors that may indicate sulphide-rich horizons [6]. Historical Results - Previous work at Fenton included mapping and sampling that confirmed sulphide-hosted gold mineralization at surface, with grab samples reporting assays up to 48.4 g/t gold [7]. - Historical core resampling confirmed high-grade gold intervals, including 49.0 g/t gold over 0.51 meters [7]. Quality Assurance - All drill core from the Fenton Project is logged and sampled under the supervision of a professional geologist, with samples analyzed by AGAT Laboratories, an independent accredited laboratory [8][9]. - A QA/QC program is implemented, including certified reference materials and duplicates, with approximately 5% of all samples undergoing this process [10].
