The transaction brought together two high-quality gold projects \u2014 Queensway and Hammerdown \u2014 and added established processing infrastructure which has positioned the company to pursue a clear path to production and cash flow. <\/p>\n<p>The company is currently focused on advancing Queensway toward production while bringing Hammerdown into steady-state gold production in 2026. This multi-asset approach is intended to support near-term cash flow generation while maintaining meaningful exploration and development upside through Queensway\u2019s large, high-grade gold system. <\/p>\n<p>At Queensway, New Found Gold has consolidated a district-scale land position and continues to advance technical work including infill drilling, grade control drilling, geotechnical studies and exploration programs. At the same time, the company\u2019s ownership of processing and operational assets provides infrastructure optionality as development progresses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item                                col1\" data-id=\"4\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"False\" data-href=\"https:\/\/investingnews.com\/new-found-gold\/company-highlights\" data-basename=\"company-highlights\" data-post-id=\"2672250358\" data-published-at=\"1766513307\" data-use-pagination=\"False\">\n<h3 data-role=\"headline\">                            Company Highlights                                <\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>District-scale land package at Queensway<\/strong> totaling over 230,000 hectares and covering over 110 kilometres of strike along two major fault zones <\/li>\n<li><strong>Recently acquired Hammerdown operation<\/strong>, targeted for steady-state gold production in 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ownership of the Pine Cove operation<\/strong> (with a permitted mill and tailings facility) and Nugget Pond hydrometallurgical gold plant, providing processing infrastructure <\/li>\n<li><strong>Strengthened management team and solid shareholder base<\/strong>, including cornerstone investor Eric Sprott <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item                                col1\" data-id=\"5\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"False\" data-href=\"https:\/\/investingnews.com\/new-found-gold\/key-projects\" data-basename=\"key-projects\" data-post-id=\"2672250358\" data-published-at=\"1766513307\" data-use-pagination=\"False\">\n<h3 data-role=\"headline\">                            Key Projects                                 <\/h3>\n<h3>Queensway Gold Project<\/h3>\n<p>The 100 percent owned Queensway gold project is New Found Gold\u2019s flagship asset and the primary driver of long-term value creation. Located in central Newfoundland, Queensway now spans over 230,000 hectares, following a completed land acquisition from Exploits Discovery Corp., and covers more than 110 kilometres of strike along the Appleton and JBP fault zones, highlighting its district-scale exploration potential. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item                                col1\" data-id=\"6\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"True\" data-href=\"https:\/\/investingnews.com\/new-found-gold\/particle-6\" data-basename=\"particle-6\" data-post-id=\"2672250358\" data-published-at=\"1766513307\" data-use-pagination=\"False\"><small class=\"image-media media-caption\"><\/small><\/p>\n<p><em>Aerial view of the Queensway gold project, adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In July 2025, New Found Gold completed a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for Queensway, showing 1.5 Moz gold production over a 15-year mine life. The PEA outlines a phased development strategy designed to accelerate the project\u2019s path to production. Phase 1 of the PEA focuses on mining high-grade, near-surface mineralization from the Appleton Fault Zone (AFZ) Core, with processing planned via off-site milling. This approach is intended to reduce upfront capital requirements while enabling earlier cash flow generation.<\/p>\n<p>The AFZ Core hosts multiple high-grade gold zones, including Keats, Iceberg, Keats West, Lotto and Monte Carlo, which form the foundation of the PEA mine plan. Ongoing infill drilling, grade control drilling, excavation and geotechnical programs are being carried out to support mine planning, improve resource confidence, and advance future mineral resource updates. Recent drilling at zones such as Monte Carlo and Keats has returned high-grade results that generally align with the existing resource model, reinforcing continuity within the proposed open-pit areas. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rebellt-item                                col1\" data-id=\"7\" data-reload-ads=\"false\" data-is-image=\"True\" data-href=\"https:\/\/investingnews.com\/new-found-gold\/particle-7\" data-basename=\"particle-7\" data-post-id=\"2672250358\" data-published-at=\"1766513307\" data-use-pagination=\"False\"><small class=\"image-media media-caption\"><\/small><\/p>\n<p><em>Queensway\u2019s neighbouring gold projects<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the current mine plan, continued drilling along strike and at depth across Queensway has delivered new discoveries, highlighting the project\u2019s potential for resource growth beyond the initial PEA scope.
