VANCOUVER, BC, March 29, 2021 /CNW/ - New Found Gold Corp. ("New Found" or the "Company") (TSXV: NFG) (OTC: NFGFF) is pleased to announce assay results from an additional six holes drilled at the Keats Zone ("Keats"). These holes were drilled as part of the Company's ongoing 200,000m diamond drill program at its 100%-owned Queensway Project ("Queensway"), located on the Trans-Canada Highway 15 km west of Gander, Newfoundland.

*Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are estimated to be 70% to 80% of reported intervals. Intervals are calculated at a 1 g/t Au cut-off grade; grades have not been capped in the averaging.

  • The intervals of 37.2 g/t Au over 6.45m and 17.9 g/t Au over 8.45m in drill holes NFGC-21-97 and NFGC 21-101 provide further confirmation of the continuity of the Keats high grade zone in the down-plunge direction (Figure 1).
  • Drill hole NFGC-21-87 returned 27.8 g/t Au over 4.65 m starting at 4.7m down-hole depth plus 2.51 g/t Au over 10.3 m starting at 20.5m down-hole depth, providing further confirmation of high-grade gold at bedrock surface at the north end of Keats.

Greg Matheson, P.Geo., COO of New Found, stated: "These results are significant in that they provide confirmation of the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization between our deeper results down plunge including the recently released 61.8 g/t Au over 13.65m in NFGC-21-118 and the more closely spaced drilled near-surface, high-grade results up-plunge (see Figure 1). Additional results in this area roughly centered around fence line 4700N are anticipated shortly. Current drilling at Keats is focused on extending the high-grade zone down plunge, providing further definition of the near surface, high-grade mineralization, and testing additional zones of high-grade mineralization including in the footwall veining."

Sampling, Sub-sampling and Laboratory 
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 70% to 80% of reported core lengths. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 5% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

Forward-Looking Statement Cautions
This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, relating to further the exploration and drilling on the Company's Queensway gold project in Newfoundland. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "aims," "potential," "goal," "objective," "prospective," and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "can," "could" or "should" occur, or are those statements, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made, and they involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Consequently, there can be no assurances that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except to the extent required by applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements if management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.
