Fury Intercepts 32.35m of 1.16% Li2O at the Ninaaskumuwin Discovery
(PresseBox) - Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX and NYSE American: FURY) (“Fury” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/fury-gold-mines-ltd) is pleased to announce drill results from the maiden drill program, totaling 825 metres (m) in 5 holes, on its Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery at the Elmer East project located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec (Figure 1). The drilling targeted a spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrop, which returned surface samples of up to 3.92% Li2O. Highlights from the drill campaign include 32.35m of 1.16% Li2O from EE24-003 and 22.48m of 1.19% Li2O from EE24-002 (Table 1). The lithium mineralized spodumene-bearing pegmatite remains open at depth and along strike, warranting additional drilling.
“We are pleased with the positive drill results out of the Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery from our newly acquired Elmer East project in Quebec,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “These results continue to demonstrate the value created through our acquisition of Quebec Precious Metals earlier this year, and we look forward to continued exploration and potential discovery across our extensive land package in the James Bay region.”
Elmer East
The Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery is located on Fury’s 100% owned Elmer East project, which covers approximately 45,735 hectares (ha). Ninaaskumuwin is easily accessible from the paved Billy Diamond highway, approximately 60 kilometres (km) north of the ‘km 381’ rest stop where accommodation, catering, fuel, and power are available (Figure 1). The discovery sits approximately 50 km north of Rio Tinto plc’s Galaxy Lithium project, acquired in March 2025 as part of the acquisition of Arcadium Lithium plc for USD 6.7 billion.
The drilling campaign targeted a spodumene-bearing pegmatite outcrop where limited sampling returned values of 1.10% to 3.92% Li2O from nine samples (Figure 2) (see Quebec Precious Metals Corporation News Release dated January 18, 2024). Geophysics and geological mapping indicate that the spodumene-bearing pegmatite has a potential strike length of up to 3.8 km.
All five drill holes intersected highly fractionated pegmatite with spodumene mineralization observed in three of the holes. The spodumene mineralization observed is evenly distributed throughout the intersected pegmatite. The pegmatite is composed of quartz, plagioclase, potassic feldspar, and spodumene with a lesser proportion of muscovite, tourmaline, and garnet. The spodumene is light greenish-white and occurs as large and elongated crystals averaging 2 x 5 cm and up to 2 x 15 cm. A portion of the pegmatite is albite altered, in which spodumene is concentrated in bands of fine-grained crystals. The pegmatite is hosted in metasedimentary units, mainly matrix-supported conglomerate interbedded with wacke and coarse-grained sandstone.
“The James Bay region has experienced a boom in lithium exploration over the past few years and is gaining attention on the world stage. The Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery is in a great location close to established infrastructure and Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Lithium project, which is in the construction phase. These initial results from the limited 2024 drilling are encouraging and warrant additional drilling to fully understand the potential of the discovery,” commented Bryan Atkinson, SVP Exploration of Fury.

Sampling and Assaying Disclosure
2024 Drilling
GeoVector Management Inc., based in Ottawa, supervised the drilling program for QPM, which includes core logging, sampling of the drill core and shipment of the samples to the laboratory facility. Drilling was performed by RJLL Drilling, based in Rouyn-Noranda.
2025 Assaying and QAQC
Analytical samples were taken by sawing HQ diameter core into equal halves with one half being sent to IGS Laboratories (“IGS”), based in Delson, Quebec, an independent ISO-17025 2017 accredited laboratory. The samples were crushed to 100% passing 2 mm and pulverized to at least 85% passing 75 microns. Excess crushed and pulverized material not used for analysis have been retained for future reference. All samples were analyzed by Sodium Peroxide Fusion and ICP-OES finish using an aliquot of pulverized material. IGS used selected pegmatite/spodumene matrix matching CRMs.
QAQC protocols include systematic insertion of CRM standards 1 in every 20 samples and alternating blank samples of quartz and core duplicate samples 1 in every 20 samples. Assays of quality control samples were compared with reference samples in a database and verified to be acceptable prior to use of data from analyzed batches.
Technical and scientific information disclosed from the neighbouring Galaxy project does not necessarily apply to the Elmer East project.

Forward-looking statements contained in this release primarily relate to statements that may suggest that the future work at the Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery may identify a significant mineral resource.
Although the Company believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements were reasonable at the time such statements were made, there can be no certainty that such assumptions and expectations will prove to be materially correct. Mineral exploration is a high-risk enterprise.
