Falcon Gold Acquires Ground in Great Burnt Copper-Gold Region, Central Newfoundland Belt
Falcon Gold Corp. has staked 91 claims totaling 2,275 hectares in the Great Burnt greenstone belt of Newfoundland. This area hosts significant resources, including an indicated copper resource of 381,300 tonnes at 2.68% Cu. The acquisition positions Falcon strategically near existing mineralized zones and highlights potential for copper-gold mineralization. CEO Karim Rayani emphasized the potential for exploration and plans for high-resolution surveys to identify key areas for development. This acquisition aligns with Falcon's focus on mineral exploration in North America.
- Acquired 91 claims in the Great Burnt greenstone belt, enhancing mineral resource potential.
- Proximity to existing mineralized zones may lead to synergies and increased exploration success.
- Historical information on the properties has not been verified, presenting potential risks.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2021 / FALCON GOLD CORP. (TSXV:FG)(GR:3FA)(OTCQB:FGLDF); ); ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has acquired through staking 91 claims (the "Property") totaling 2,275 hectares located in the Great Burnt base-metal rich greenstone belt in central Newfoundland (Figure 1).

The Property
The Property is hosted within the Great Burnt greenstone belt (GBGB) which hosts Besshi-type massive sulphide deposits. These types of deposits generally occur in thick sequences of marine sedimentary rocks ranging from black shale to arkose to greywacke. Sulphide lenses can be several meters thick and extend for several kilometres. Besshi-type massive sulphide deposits are generally copper dominant and can contain precious metals such as gold and often contain cobalt. The Property is also located 4km west of the Crest Resources-Exploits Discovery joint venture project within the Exploits Subzone. The Exploits Subzone contains deep seated gold-bearing structures of the Dog Bay-Appleton Fault- GRUB Line deformation corridor that contains the high-grade Keats Gold Zone of New Found Gold.

Commentary
"We are extremely pleased to have acquired yet another land package that lies in a metal endowed greenstone belt of Central Newfoundland that has seen very little systematic exploration. This property not only has the potential to host important Exploits Subzone orogenic gold mineralization but also copper-rich massive sulphides that contain gold "said Karin Rayani, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Gold Corp. "We look forward to performing a high resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey over our entire property position and integrating mineralization trends and historical results to vector exploration efforts to those areas of high merit."

About Falcon Gold Corp.
Falcon is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring, and exploring opportunities in the Americas. Falcon's flagship project, the Central Canada Gold Mine, is approximately 20 km southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Gold Deposit which has currently estimated 3.32 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold) mineral reserves, and 2.3 million ounces of measured and indicated mineral resources (133.4 million tonnes grading 0.54 g/t gold). The Hammond Reef gold property lies on the Hammond shear zone, which is a northeast-trending splay off of the Quetico Fault Zone ("QFZ") and may be the control for the gold deposit. The Central Gold property lies on a similar major northeast-trending splay of the QFZ.
The Company holds 7 additional projects. The Camping Lake Gold property and the Springpole West Property in the world-renowned Red Lake mining camp; a
