Toronto, Ontario — January 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) has commenced its 2026 drilling program at the Fenton gold project near Chapais, Quebec.
The program, which has obtained all necessary permits, aims to expand known gold mineralization along strike and at depth. The winter drilling campaign will follow known high-grade mineralization and evaluate electromagnetic conductors and magnetic corridors that are interpreted to represent sulphide-rich horizons and structurally controlled zones.
According to Jeff Swinoga, CEO and President of Exploits, the drilling program marks a key step in the company’s growth strategy in Quebec, with the goal of increasing gold production. Swinoga believes that the market is undervaluing Exploits, as the company is trading close to its cash value, before factoring in the value of its gold assets and near-term catalysts.
The initial phase of the program will consist of approximately 1,400 meters of drilling, with a larger winter campaign totaling between 3,000 and 5,000 meters, subject to results and field conditions. Initial drilling will follow up on historical high-grade gold mineralization and its extensions at depth, including 356 g/t gold over 0.6 meters (Gagnon, 2018), and test geophysical and structural targets with potential for expansion.
The Fenton Project includes 18 contiguous claims totaling approximately 760.7 hectares. Exploits has an option to acquire 100% interest from Cartier Resources Inc., subject to the terms of the underlying agreement and existing royalties.
Geologically, the Fenton system is located within the Abitibi greenstone belt, along the Guercheville deformation zone, a regional structural corridor in the Chibougamau-Chapais region known for hosting gold mineralization. Phase 1 work at Fenton included mapping, trench examination, and sampling that confirmed the presence of surface sulphide gold mineralization, with grab samples reporting grades up to 48.4 g/t gold. Subsequent review and resampling of historical core confirmed the presence of high-grade gold in key intervals, including 49.0 g/t gold over 0.51 meters (gravimetric), in a previously reported high-grade zone.
Exploits Discovery Corp. is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on increasing its reserves in Quebec and Ontario through its Fenton, Wilson, Benoist, and Hawkins projects. The company also holds a strategic interest and royalties in New Found Gold Corp. in Newfoundland, following the sale of its Newfoundland mining concessions in 2025. Exploits’ strategy involves leveraging the regional potential of its portfolio in Quebec and Ontario through systematic exploration and strategic partnerships to create shareholder value through discoveries and resource growth.
All potential NQ drill core from the Fenton project is logged and sampled under the supervision of an Exploits professional geologist. Core is split in half using a diamond saw, with one half submitted for analysis and the other retained in a secure warehouse in Quebec. Samples are sealed and shipped directly to AGAT Laboratories, an independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Gold is analyzed by 30g fire assay with atomic absorption finish, with multi-element analysis performed by four-acid digestion and ICP analysis. A QA/QC program including certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates is applied at regular intervals, representing approximately 5% of all samples. Samples containing visible gold or with gold grades above 10.0 g/t gold are re-analyzed using metallic sieve methods, with results reported as weighted average values.
Mark Richardson, Professional Geologist (OGQ Permit No. 10929), a Qualified Person under Canadian Standards 43-101 has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release. He is a non-independent technical consultant to Exploits and supervises the Fenton gold exploration program.
