(TSXV: FG) (OTC Pink: FGLDF) (FSE: 3FA) (\"Falcon\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its third drill hole at the Great Burnt Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland. Drilling on the fourth hole is now being finalized, and preparations are underway to move the drill rig to Pad #5, marking a critical step forward in Falcon's aggressive and systematic exploration of this highly prospective copper-gold system.This progress follows Falcon's March 13, 2025, release of core images from its late 2024 exploration program. Despite facing unprecedented rains and early spring conditions, Falcon has taken proactive steps to mitigate logistical challenges by establishing an on-site base camp. With this infrastructure in place, the team is now well-positioned to accelerate drilling and unlock the full potential of Great Burnt's mineralized system. Drilling updates and Key observations:\"We are highly encouraged by the latest results from Great Burnt,\" stated Karim Rayani, CEO of Falcon Gold. \"The geological indicators we are seeing – particularly the significant increase in sulphide mineralization – strongly suggest we are closing in on a major mineralized system. This aligns with our technical team's expectation, reinforcing confidence in our exploration model.\"Hole #5 represents one of the most exciting drill targets in the program. It is designed to test a high-priority airborne electromagnetic (EM) anomaly coincident with a strong magnetic response – a textbook geophysical signature for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, which are known for their high copper and gold content. If Hole #5 confirms a direct link between this anomaly and the expanding mineralized zones already identified, it could represent a significant discovery, further strengthening the project's potential as a major copper-gold asset. Increasing Sulphide Mineralization: A Strong Indicator of System Expansion Recent drilling has revealed a clear uptick in sulphide content, an encouraging development as Falcon moves towards the heart of the mineralized zone.
