Fury Highlights 2024 Milestones and Provides Outlook for the Year Ahead
December 12 2024 - 6:00AM
Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX: FURY, NYSE American: FURY)
("Fury" or the "Company") is pleased to review the
Company's corporate and exploration achievements from the last 12
months. Fury had an active 2024, acquiring 100% interest in the
Éléonore South project; announcing an increased Mineral Resource
Estimate at the Eau Claire project, adding 307Koz gold (Au) in the
Measured and Indicated category (a 36.0% increase) and 223koz Au in
the Inferred category (a 44.6% increase); drilling a new discovery
at the Serendipity Prospect, intercepting 12.16 g/t Au over 3
metres (m); and ending the year in a position of financial strength
with C$5 million in the treasury and 51 million common shares of
Dolly Varden Silver.
"Fury had a strong start to 2024 with the
purchase of Newmont's half of the Éléonore South Joint Venture and
the completion of a Mineral Resource Update at the Eau Claire
project. However, it was the second half of the year where we were
most active with exploration programs at all three of our
projects," commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. "The gold price
notwithstanding, markets in the junior exploration sector have
remained challenging. However, we will begin the year with
excitement, encouraged by a broader inventory of drill-ready
targets and renewed investment in the region with Newmont's pending
sale of the Éléonore Mine, adjacent to our property. In the near
term, the 2025 drilling will begin at the Éléonore South anomaly, a
highly prospective target that has the same scale and signature as
the Éléonore Mine."
Highlights
Fury's top milestones and achievements of 2024
include:
- Strategic Project Acquisition: The
Company consolidated ownership to 100% at the Éléonore South
project by purchasing Newmont's 49.978% interest for C$3 million
and Newmont's 30 million shares of Sirios for C$1.3 million. This
acquisition provides full control of a project that represents
significant potential for new discovery and is also strategically
positioned near Newmont's Éléonore Mine (recently sold to Dhilmar
Ltd).
- Increased Mineral Resource Estimate
at Eau Claire: Fury announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate
at the Eau Claire project in Quebec, adding 307Koz Au in the
Measured and Indicated category (a 36.0% increase) and 223koz Au in
the Inferred category (a 44.6% increase). The new combined open pit
and underground mineral resource is now 1.16Moz gold (Au) at a
grade of 5.64 g/t Au in the Measured and Indicated category as well
as an additional 723koz gold at a grade of 4.13 g/t Au in the
Inferred Category.
- Successful Drill Programs and New
Discovery at Serendipity: At the Éléonore South project, Fury
completed a 2300 m drill program in seven holes focused on the JT –
Moni trend, intercepting anomalous gold mineralization in all seven
holes. Later in the year, the Company drilled a new discovery at
the greenfield Serendipity Prospect on the Eau Claire project,
intercepting 12.16 g/t gold over 3.0 m. This new discovery
continues to demonstrate that the targeting techniques of Fury's
technical team are effective and show a pathway to new discoveries
on the Eau Claire property.
- Numerous Highly Prospective Targets
Identified: Fury has created a pipeline of targets for potential
drilling in 2025 at the Éléonore South, Eau Claire, and Committee
Bay projects. At Éléonore South this includes six priority drill
targets at the highly prospective Éléonore Mine style anomaly. At
Eau Claire, there are over a dozen gold and multi-element
geochemical anomalies along the Cannard Deformation Zone and
Hashimoto Deformation Zone. Finally, at Committee Bay, three
drill-ready shear zone hosted targets have been identified at Three
Bluffs, Raven, and Burro West.
- Financial Strength: The Company
will end the year with C$5 million in the treasury and 51 million
common shares of Dolly Varden Silver, strengthening Fury's
financial position and funding further exploration at its Canadian
projects.
- Responsible Mining: Fury obtained a
UL ECOLOGO® certification, a third-party environmental
certification that confirms the Company's commitment to
sustainability and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, Fury
conducted a third annual Digbee ESG Certification, an independent
ESG evaluation that continues to validate the Company's existing
ESG engagement and strategy. Fury, in partnership with the Cree
Hunters Economic Security Board and 15 other mining and exploration
companies, contributed to a voluntary fund totaling C$750,000 for
the Reconstruction Initiative Forest Fires Fund 2023. This
initiative aims to support the rebuilding of cabins destroyed by
the 2023 wildfires in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of
Quebec.
2025 Exploration Outlook
With C$2.5 million in flow-through funding in
the treasury, Fury will commence its 2025 exploration season with a
3,000 – 5,000 m diamond drilling program at the Éléonore South gold
project in Quebec. This program will focus on six robust
geochemical targets across over 3 kilometres (km) of prospective
folded sedimentary stratigraphy (see news release dated November
12, 2024). These six targets encompass multi-point biogeochemical
gold anomalies and correlate with pathfinder elements, most notably
arsenic which is associated with gold mineralization at the
Éléonore Mine.
Fury will announce the remainder of its
exploration plans for the year in the coming weeks and months. For
more details on the outlook for 2025, you can listen to the recent
interview on the Korelin Economics Report with CEO, Tim Clark, and
SVP Exploration, Bryan Atkinson.
