[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2026 /CNW/ - Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUG) (OTCQX: LUGDF) (\"Lundin Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report additional strong results from its ongoing conversion and near‑mine exploration drilling programs at the Fruta del Norte (\"FDN\") gold mine in southeast Ecuador. The drilling programs delivered positive results across FDN, FDNS, and FDN East within the Company's mining property. Notably, recent conversion drilling at FDNS delivered two of the highest grade‑thickness gold intercepts ever drilled at FDN, underscoring the growing importance of FDNS as a major source of high‑grade mineralization and supporting continued Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve growth. Highlights Conversion Drilling FDNS: Recent drilling returned the highest‑grade intercepts ever recorded at FDNS, including two intervals that rank as the second and fourth highest grade-thickness gold intercepts drilled across the entire FDN mining property (Figure 1), reinforcing FDNS as a primary driver of recent and ongoing Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve growth. Exploration Drilling FDNS: Successfully confirmed mineralization continuity along the downdip extension of the deposit, outside the current Mineral Resource envelope, and highlighted areas with meaningful potential for further expansion. FDN East: Drilling confirmed northward continuity of the vein system beyond the inaugural Mineral Resource, returning the highest‑grade interval ever recorded at FDN East, and demonstrated continuity of newly discovered eastern veins, highlighting an expanding footprint and additional exploration upside. FDN: Drilling intercepted the upper continuity of the main FDN mineral envelope close to existing underground infrastructure, identifying additional near‑mine expansion opportunities. Jamie Beck, President and CEO, commented, \"Conversion drilling at FDNS has consistently delivered some of the best results at FDN since its discovery, and these results are no exception, including two of the highest grade-thickness gold intercepts ever drilled at Fruta del Norte. Exceptional systems tend to surprise to the upside, and it is clear there remains significant potential for additional expansion. At FDN East, the highest‑grade interval ever reported along the extension of the mineral envelope confirms m...
