Fury Mobilizes Second Drill to the Percival Prospect

Rhea-AI Summary

Fury Gold Mines Limited has mobilized a second drill to the Eau Claire project in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee Territory, aiming to extend higher-grade gold mineralization at the Percival Prospect. This drilling program will cover approximately 6,500 metres and follows significant advancements in targeting due to recent geophysical and biogeochemical surveys. Historical drill results indicate promising gold grades, with ongoing work expected to enhance overall ounces at the Eau Claire project. Drill results are anticipated in July 2022.

Positive

• Mobilization of a second drill to Percival prospect indicates commitment to exploration.
• Approximately 6,500 metres of drilling will target higher-grade gold mineralization.
• Recent geophysical and biogeochemical surveys have improved targeting confidence.
• Historical drill results show strong gold grades, supporting future exploration potential.

Negative

• Exploration remains high-risk, with no guarantee of resource increase despite ongoing work.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2022 / Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY)(NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury" or the "Company") announces that a second drill has been mobilized to its wholly-owned Eau Claire project in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. The second drill will test the refined targeting at the Percival Prospect. Drilling will consist of approximately 6,500 metres (m) seeking to extend the higher-grade core of the Percival gold mineralization down plunge, as well as testing a highly prospective parallel fold hinge 500m to the east.

"Percival is one of our most exciting prospects because we are seeing strong indicators in an area that has had historical success but remains relatively unexplored," said Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. "At the same time, given the proximity of this prospect to the Eau Claire deposit, there is an opportunity to significantly advance our overall ounces at the Eau Claire project. We are excited about our pending drill results which are expected to start being released in July, as well as the significant opportunities for new discoveries from the hinge at Eau Claire and Percival which we are now drilling."

Percival Prospect

The Percival prospect, located 14 kilometres (km) east of the Eau Claire deposit, is currently represented by a 400 metre (m) by 100m mineralized footprint hosted within folded sulphidized and silicified breccias in an interbedded volcanic and sedimentary sequence represented by historical drill intercepts by a previous operator during 2018 to 2019 of 93.1m of 2.22 g/t gold, 9.0m of 6.26 g/t gold, 8.5m of 7.13 g/t gold and 2.0m of 8.47 g/t gold (Figure 1) (see news release dated February 10, 2021).

Targeting at Percival has significantly advanced recently with the completion of a 29 line-kilometre Induced Polarization ground geophysical survey as well as a biogeochemical survey covering 6.5km of the Percival trend. The higher-grade Percival mineralization is parallel and slightly offset to magnetic stratigraphic units that define a steeply plunging fold geometry. Targeting indicates there is the potential to extend higher-grade mineralization down plunge from historical intercepts (Figure 1) and in the newly identified parallel fold hinge 500m to the east of the known mineralization. A single historical drill hole intersected this parallel fold hinge and ended in 12m of alteration and mineralization similar to the halo observed around the Percival gold mineralization (Figure 1).

"We have looked forward to drilling at Percival and the recently completed surveys have added a high degree of confidence to our targeting through an improved understanding of the controls on mineralization. Our onsite team has reviewed the historical drill core and outcrop exposure to develop a robust targeting matrix using real time observation that we will be able to implement to further refine our targeting as we drill this exciting prospect," commented Bryan Atkinson, P.Geol., SVP, Exploration of Fury.
