VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
New Found Gold Corp. (“New Found” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) announces that Newfoundland & Labrador has been ranked the 4th most attractive jurisdiction in the world in terms of mining investment according to the Fraser Institute’s 2022 Annual Survey of Mining Companies (the “Report”) released this week.
The Report ranks 62 jurisdictions worldwide based on their geologic attractiveness and government policies affecting exploration investment. The jurisdiction of Newfoundland & Labrador has moved up from 21st place in the Fraser Institute’s annual report for 2021.
Ron Hampton, Chief Development Officer of New Found, commented: “We are pleased that the Fraser Institute recognizes what New Found has known all along, that Newfoundland and Labrador is a world leading jurisdiction for exploration and mine development. New Found’s Queensway project not only benefits from this world class jurisdiction, but also benefits from excellent logistics being next to the Trans-Canada highway, with access to renewable hydro power on site, and an available local workforce along with community and government support. With all these positives, the Queensway project is a developer’s dream situation.”

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”, “interpreted”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “aims”, “suggests”, “indicate”, “often”, “target”, “future”, “likely”, “pending”, “potential”, “goal”, “objective”, “prospective”, “possibly”, “preliminary”, 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. Factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include risks associated with possible accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated geological factors, risks associated with the interpretation of assay results and the drilling program, the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting and other governmental clearances necessary to carry out the Company's exploration plans, the risk that the Company will not be able to raise sufficient funds to carry out its business plans, and the risk of political uncertainties and regulatory or legal changes that might interfere with the Company's business and prospects. The reader is urged to refer to the Company's Annual Information Form and Management’s discussion and Analysis, publicly available through the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects.
