Fury Commences 2025 Drill Program at Committee Bay

TORONTO, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX and NYSE American: FURY) (“Fury” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the 2025 exploration drilling program has commenced at the Committee Bay project, located in the eastern Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, Canada. The 2025 drilling program will comprise 7 – 10 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 5,000 metres (m) focused on: expansion of the Three Bluffs Shear Zone target, testing regional shear zones along the southern contact of the 8 kilometre (km) long Raven shear zone, and testing regional shear zones at Burro West. “We are thrilled to be back drilling in Nunavut, given the overall potential upside that the Committee Bay land package represents,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “We will not only be looking to expand and test new concepts at the Three Bluffs resource, but we will also be stepping out at the Raven and Burro West shear zones, following up on regional testing and looking for a new discovery. We anticipate initial results in September.” Three Bluffs Shear Zone The high-grade Three Bluffs Gold deposit is located centrally within the project and is estimated to contain 524,000 oz. of gold in 2.1 million tonnes (Mt) at 7.85 g/t gold in the indicated mineral resource category and 720,000 oz. in 2.9Mt of gold at 7.64 g/t gold in the inferred mineral resource category (see Committee Bay NI43-101 report “Technical Report on the Committee Bay Project, Nunavut Territory, Canada” dated September 11, 2023”). Drilling in 2021 at Three Bluffs intercepted 3 zones of mineralization: 13.93 g/t gold over 10 m; 18.67 g/t gold over 3 m; and 23.2 g/t gold over 1 m (see News Release dated December 1, 2021). The first two noted intercepts occur outside of the main iron formation in sheared metasediments. The shear hosted mineralization runs sub-parallel to the main iron formation (Figure 1) and has not been previously targeted. The 2021 intercepts are approximately 250 m below surface and remain open up dip, down dip, as well as along strike in both directions. Drilling in 2025 will target the sub-parallel shear zone as well as the iron formation itself with five to six step-outs from the 2021 intercept for 2,750m of drilling (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Illustrates the location of the 21TB-152 intersections in relation to the Three Bluffs deposit in long section. The 21TB-152 intersection is open as depicted by the three arrows with potential to significantly expand the mineral resource. Raven Prospect The Raven prospect is located in the southwest third of the Committee Bay gold belt, approximately 50 km west of the Three Bluffs deposit. Drilling will target a previously undrilled gold-bearing outcrop where results from seven samples collected to date average 16.12 g/t gold (Figure 3) (see news release dated February 16, 2022). This prospect lies along the southern boundary of an 8 km long east – west oriented shear zone where gold mineralization has been identified over a 1.4 km footprint to date. The 2025 drilling will comprise two to three drill holes for approximately 1000 m. Figure 3: Illustrates the 1.4 km mineralized footprint at the Raven prospect within the larger 8km Raven shear zone. Newly identified high-grade gold mineralization is located along the southern boundary of the shear zone. Burro West Infill till sampling during 2024 at the Burro West target has identified a robust multi-point +90th percentile approximately 300 x 300 m gold in till anomaly (Figure 4) (see news release dated October 24, 2024). The Burro West anomaly is spatially associated with a break in the regional magnetics data, interpreted to represent a sheared contact between mafic volcanics and ultramafic lithologies. Drilling during 2025 will comprise one to two drill holes for approximately 500 m. Figure 4: Plan View map showing the results from the 2024 Infill Till Sampling program at Burro West.
