[{"type":"text","content":"Founders Metals Provides Exploration Update on Emerging Targets; Drills 72.0 m of 1.01 g/t Gold at ParboVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) (\"Founders\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce drill core assay results from its ongoing drill program at the Antino Gold Project (\"Antino\" or the \"Project\") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The results include the first phase of drilling at the Parbo target and follow-up drilling at the Da Vinci and Maria Geralda targets - three priority emerging discoveries within the 56,000 hectare (ha) Antino Gold Project.At Parbo, inaugural drilling has outlined broad, intrusion-hosted gold mineralization with internal high-grade shear zones, highlighted by 72.0 metres (m) of 1.01 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) including 4.0 m of 11.97 g/t Au in hole PB003, and 101.0 m of 0.62 g/t Au from surface in hole PB013. At Da Vinci, step-outs continue to extend the shear-hosted gold mineralization, including 19.5 m of 2.31 g/t Au and 22.5 m of 1.38 g/t Au in hole DV016. At Maria Geralda, drilling has now expanded mineralization 400 m southeast of the initial discovery, returning broad intrusion-hosted gold with discrete high-grade zones, including 53.0 m of 0.41 g/t Au in MG006 and 12.0 m of 1.12 g/t Au in MG010, adjacent to the previously reported 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au in MG003. Colin Padget, Founders' President & CEO, commented: \"These results from Parbo, Da Vinci, and Maria Geralda further demonstrate the scale and consistency of the gold systems emerging across Antino. Parbo, in particular, is shaping up as a significant intrusion-hosted target with multiple shear zones that remain open in all directions. I was especially impressed with Parbo hole PB013 which, including a 10 m interval of dilution, returned 200 m of 0.51 g/t Au from surface. We will continue to advance this exciting target into the new year. Da Vinci and Maria Geralda continue to deliver robust gold mineralized intercepts within increasingly well-defined structural corridors. Each round of drilling strengthens our geological model, guiding a focused, systematic, and value-driven approach as we plan our 2026 exploration program.\"Drilling HighlightsPARBO - Broad intrusion-hosted gold system with internal high-grade shear zonesP...
