Dropkick zone ("Dropkick") west of the Appleton Fault Zone ("AFZ"): 42.8 g/t Au over 14.95 m (NFGC-24-2225)1 47.6 g/t Au over 3.95 m (NFGC-24-2214) 22.9 g/t Au over 2.40 m (NFGC-24-2205) Dropkick mineralization has now been intersected over a 580 m strike extent Open in all directions Dropkick east of the AFZ: 5.30 g/t Au over 15.20 m (NFGC-24-2233) A newly identified domain at Dropkick on the eastern side of the AFZ Open in all directions Pistachio zone ("Pistachio") 5.34 g/t Au over 7.30 m (NFGC-24-2190) 240 m strike length delineated to date with a high-grade portion constrained by one underground panel in the initial mineral resource estimate ("MRE") Open down plunge and to depth Melissa Render, President of New Found Gold, stated: "In these final drill results from the 2024 exploration program we continue to intersect high-grade gold mineralization and expand both Dropkick and Pistachio. At Dropkick, we have now discovered gold mineralization both west and east of the AFZ. The continued results from Dropkick and Pistachio, located 8 and 11 kilometres north, respectively, of the main resource area at Queensway are highly encouraging and point to the potential for future near-surface resource expansion along the strike of this prolific gold mineralized system. We look forward to continuing to test the tenor and extent of these zones". Results Summary – This Release:This news release includes results from 13,768 m of drilling in the final 38 diamond drill holes ("DDH") completed in Q4/24 as part of an exploration program at AFZ Peripheral (formerly the Kingsway Project) as well as from other zones throughout Queensway North (Tables 1 to 3). The program included step-out drilling at Dropkick targeting new high-grade mineralization, the strike extension of the gold-bearing host fault, and the eastern side of the AFZ. In addition, step-out drilling at Pistachio targeting the expansion of the high-grade, and systematic reconnaissance drilling along the AFZ Peripheral segment was completed (see the New Found Gold news releases dated February 11, 2025 and October 24, 2024). _________________________________ 1 g/t Au = grams of gold per tonne, m = metres Drill highlights, along with details from all 38 DDH in this news release are included in Tables 1 to 3 below.Dropkick: Dropkick step-outs west of the AFZ announced in this release include 42.8 g/t Au over 14.95 m (NFGC-24-2225), 47.6 g/t Au over 3.95 m (NFGC-24-2214), 22.9 g/t Au over 2.40 m (NFGC-24-2205) and 5.77 g/t Au over 6.55 m (NFGC-24-2228). These and all previously drilled intercepts at Dropkick occur in a fault zone subparallel to and west of the AFZ (Tables 1 to 3). This drilling follows up on discovery holes NFGC-24-2197 (89.5 g/t Au over 5.85 m) and NFGC-24-2193 (26.2 g/t Au over 16.15 m; see the New Found Gold news release dated February 11, 2025). As part of this program step-out drilling on the north end of the Dropkick zone was extended to test for mineralization on the eastern side of the AFZ. Drilling returned 5.30 g/t Au over 15.20 m (NFGC-24-2233) east of the AFZ. This is the first mineralization at Dropkick east of the AFZ; this new domain of mineralization is open and will be tested in a follow-up program. These new results from Dropkick have expanded the high-grade mineralization over a 150 m x 75 m area and are associated with the Dropkick fault zone that has now been delineated over a 580 m strike length. Gold mineralization at Dropkick starts at surface and has been drilled to 285 m vertical depth to date, and is open in all directions, with expansion potential of the high-grade toward surface. Dropkick is the most northern gold discovery found to date along the highly prospective AFZ. It is located 11 km northeast of AFZ Core (see the New Found Gold news release dated March 24, 2025) and indicates that the gold mineral system at Queensway spans a considerable distance to the north (Figure 2). Gold mineralization in the DDH in this release exhibit characteristics similar to the primary discovery area, with coarse free gold contained in fault-fill quartz veins hosted within an interbedded sequence of siltstones and sandstones. Pistachio: Continued step-out drilling at Pistachio intersected 5.34 g/t Au over 7.30 m (NFGC-24-2190) and has extended the high-grade mineralization in this zone by 40 m down-dip. Pistachio is located 150 m north of the Big Vein zone and spans a strike length of 240 m with a high-grade portion constrained by an underground panel in the initial MRE (see the New Found Gold news release dated March 24, 2025). Pistachio extends from 165 m to 250 m vertical depth and remains open down plunge and to depth. The zone is characterized by a series of quartz veins containing visible gold hosted within a greenish siltstone unit that is spatially associated with a high-grade gold stibnite-bearing fault zone. AFZ Peripheral Reconnaissance: Systematic step-out drilling initially focussed on the west side the AFZ and targeting regions with prospective features was initiated in Q4/24 at AFZ Peripheral. This work has delivered encouraging early results. Large stretches of both the east and west sides of the AFZ at AFZ Peripheral have limited to no testing. Topographic lineaments which often indicate faults were tested 2.4 km southwest of Pistachio with three drillholes. One drillhole crosscut a series of stacked quartz veinlets over a downhole length of 42 m containing multiple occurrences of visible gold. Additional reconnaissance drilling 1.6 km along trend to the northeast of Pistachio, targeting a gold-arsenic soil anomaly and gold-in-rotary air blast ("RAB") drilling intersected a series of brittle structures and mineralization, returning 6.44 g/t Au over 2.95 m (NFGC-24-2212) and visible gold in two of the four holes drilled. This soil anomaly is associated with a topographic lineament having a similar orientation to the prolific Keats-Baseline Fault Zone in the AFZ Core area. The early success in the reconnaissance program has identified two target areas that are open for additional testing. Follow-up drilling is planned for the soil anomaly in Q2/25 as the multitude of prospective features makes this target a priority. Looking Ahead:The Company has now released all drill results from the 2024 exploration program, which totaled 89,974 m in 271 DDH. The results of 37,750 m in 82 DDH were received after the cutoff date for inclusion in the initial MRE and will be included in the next MRE for the Project.Based on the highly encouraging results received to date at Dropkick, the Company plans to conduct follow-up drill testing beginning in June 2025, with work following at the soil anomaly located north of Pistachio.Table 1: Drill Result Highlights DROPKICK Hole No. From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t) True Width (%) Zone K-23-254 224.45 228.10 3.65 7.70 Unknown Dropkick Including 225.10 226.60 1.50 11.88 Unknown NFGC-24-2205 296.85 299.25 2.40 22.93 70-95 Dropkick Including 297.15 298.10 0.95 56.78 70-95 NFGC-24-2214 386.20 390.15 3.95 47.60 70-95 Dropkick Including 386.50 386.85 0.35 498.18 70-95 Including 389.25 389.75 0.50 11.46 70-95 NFGC-24-2219 268.25 270.70 2.45 10.05 Unknown Dropkick Including 268.25 269.70 1.45 16.97 Unknown NFGC-24-2225 188.85 203.80 14.95 42.79 40-70 Dropkick Including 197.45 198.85 1.40 432.76 40-70 And Including 197.45 198.10 0.65 745.88 40-70 NFGC-24-2228 387.45 394.00 6.55 5.77 Unknown Dropkick Including 390.05 390.50 0.45 32.48 Unknown Including 391.55 392.50 0.95 10.32 Unknown And 402.90 405.00 2.10 29.52 55-85 Including 402.90 403.40 0.50 123.86 55-85 NFGC-24-2233 157.05 172.25 15.20 5.30 Unknown Dropkick Including 162.85 164.70 1.85 17.18 Unknown PISTACHIO Hole No. From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t) True Width (%) Zone NFGC-24-2190 264.60 271.90 7.30 5.34 Unknown Pistachio Including 266.90 267.25 0.35 11.40 Unknown Including 268.65 269.65 1.00 11.62 Unknown NFGC-24-2204A 264.90 267.00 2.10 8.56 Unknown Pistachio Including 265.65 266.40 0.75 23.25 Unknown NFGC-24-2226 284.70 287.00 2.30 9.37 Unknown Pistachio Including 284.70 285.05 0.35 60.24 Unknown AFZ PERIPHERAL Hole No. From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Au (g/t) True Width (%) Zone NFGC-24-2163A 79.80 89.40 9.60 1.48 Unknown AFZ Peripheral NFGC-24-2212 35.40 38.35 2.95 6.44 Unknown AFZ Peripheral Including 35.40 35.85 0.45 42.15 Unknown Note that the host structures are interpreted to be moderately to steeply dipping.

For deep holes, the core size may be reduced to NQ at depth. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw or a hydraulic splitter for rare intersections with incompetent core.A geologist examines the drill core and marks out the intervals to be sampled and the cutting line. Sample lengths are mostly 1.0 meter and adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow (<1.0m) veins or other structures that may yield higher grades.Technicians saw the core along the defined cutting line. One-half of the core is kept as a witness sample and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into totes, which are then sealed and marked with the contents.New Found Gold has submitted samples for gold determination by PhotonAssay™ to ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS") since February 2024. ALS operates under a commercial contract with New Found Gold.Drill core samples are shipped to ALS for sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ALS does not currently have accreditation for the PhotonAssay™ method at their Thunder Bay, ON, laboratory. They do however have ISO/IEC 17025 (2017) accreditation for gamma ray analysis of samples for gold at their Australian labs with this method, including the Canning Vale lab in Perth, WA.Samples submitted to ALS beginning in February 2024, received gold analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The sample is then riffle split and transferred into jars. For "routine" samples that do not have VG identified and are not within a mineralized zone, one (300-500g) jar is analyzed by photon assay. If the jar assays greater than 0.8 g/t, the remaining crushed material is weighed into multiple jars and submitted for photon assay.For samples that have VG identified, the entire crushed sample is riffle split and weighed into multiple jars that are submitted for photon assay. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis.Select samples prepared at ALS are also analyzed for a multi-element ICP package (ALS method code ME-ICP61) at ALS Vancouver.Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices. Standards and blanks account for a minimum of 10% of the samples in addition to the laboratory's internal quality assurance programs.Quality Control data are evaluated on receipt from the laboratories for failures. Appropriate action is taken if assay results for standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances. All results stated have passed New Found Gold's quality control protocols.New Found Gold's quality control program also includes submission of the second half of the core for approximately 2% of the drilled intervals. In addition, approximately 1% of sample pulps for mineralized samples are submitted for re-analysis to a second ISO-accredited laboratory for check assays.The Company does not recognize any factors of drilling, sampling, or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed.The assay data disclosed in this press release have been verified by the Company's Qualified Person against the original assay certificates.The Company notes that it has not completed any economic evaluations of its Queensway Project and that the Queensway Project does not have any reserves.Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information disclosed in this press release was reviewed and approved by Melissa Render, P.
