[{"type":"text","content":"Founders Metals Intersects 38.0 Metres of 10.90 g/t Gold at FroyoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 22, 2024) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (\"Founders\" or the \"Company\") announces drill core assay results from its fully-funded 2024 drill program at the Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname. The Company reports 38.0 metres of 10.90 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) from its furthest northwest Froyo drillhole to date, 24GG04. The interval contains the previously released gold vein photos (March 4th release; Figure 2 below) and is one of Antino's best gold intercepts at over 410 gram-metres per tonne (gm/t). Due to the abundance of coarse gold, samples have been resubmitted for metallic screening.HighlightsHole 24GG04 intercepts 38.0 m of 10.90 g/t Au from 149.0 m down hole, with metallic screening results pending (Table 1, Figures 1&2)Results are from Founders' furthest northwest drilling at the Froyo Gold Zone Gold mineralization remains open toward high-grade historical auger sampling results (Figure 1) * Intervals are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au using 5 metres minimum length and 5 metres maximum internal dilution.Figure 1: Upper Antino plan map centred on the Froyo Gold Zone.

Additionally, we have submitted samples for metallic screening to determine gold concentrations using a much larger sample volume. This method can capture coarser gold than fire assay. We expect the result soon. We are also pleased to report that our primary assay lab in Paramaribo has renewed its commitment of two-to-three-week turnaround times on assays. Though assays have often come back much faster, we recognize that with additional drilling, more surface sampling, targeted multi-element geochemistry, and metallic screening of select drill core, we can more reasonably expect two-to-three-week timelines.\"Figure 2: A-A' Cross-section through latest Froyo Gold Zone drill results.To view an e...
