[{"type":"text","content":" High-grade sulphide-hosted gold confirmed; 3,000-5,000 m drill program starts mid-Jan 2026 Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 16, 2025) - Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) is pleased to report results from its Phase 1 exploration program and outline plans for an initial diamond drill program at its fully permitted Fenton gold project in Québec. \"Phase 1 work at Fenton has exceeded our expectations. It confirmed high-grade gold at surface and in resampled historic core, gave us a clearer understanding of the mineralized system, and identified multiple drill-ready untested EM targets,\" said Jeff Swinoga, CEO and President of Exploits. \"Fenton already benefits from a historical mineral resource estimate of 63,885 oz Au (see Exploits' news release dated October 8, 2025, for details), and there has been substantial drilling and geophysical work completed on and around that deposit since then.\" He added, \"The next step is to test step-outs and new EM-based targets around the historical footprint that were never followed up. With permits in place and a drill contractor lined up, Fenton is an excellent opportunity to unlock meaningful high-grade ounces by systematically testing this sulphide-hosted system along strike and at depth.\" Highlights High-grade resampled historic core: Resampling returned up to 49.0 g/t Au over 0.51 m (145.08-145.59 m) within a 145.0-147.5 m interval of historic hole 1391-20-36, where 25.7 g/t Au over 1.0 m (145.0-146.0 m) was previously reported. High-grade surface samples: Surface grab samples from massive pyrite-pyrrhotite lenses and mineralized deformation zones returned up to 48.4 g/t Au, with additional samples assaying 15.6 g/t Au, 11.9 g/t Au, and 9.16 g/t Au from sulphide-rich basalt and graphitic units. Multiple untested targets identified: Integration of new fieldwork with historical drilling and electromagnetic (EM) data has outlined multiple untested EM conductors and sulphide horizons interpreted to be prospective for additional high-grade shoots outside the main Fenton zone. Permits secured; drilling to commence in January: Exploits has received both the Autorisation de travaux d'interventions en milieu forestier (ATI Permit) and the Permis d'intervention en milieu forestier (Forest Intervention Permit, or FIP) from the Québec Ministry of Natural Res...
