Exploits Intersected Visible Gold in Bullseye's First Two Drill Holes

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2023) - Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQX: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) ("Exploits" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the observation of fine grains of visible gold in quartz vein clusters in its first two drill holes. Assay results have been received from the initial three drill holes of the campaign currently underway at Exploits' Bullseye property in Central Newfoundland. Exploits owns a 100% interest in Bullseye's 11 mineral claims (2.8 km²) along the Appleton Fault Zone.

Highlights:

• Visible gold identified in two of the first three drill holes.
• Drill hole BE-23-001
  • intersected 8.58 g/t Au over a 1.0 m core-length located at a vertical depth of 41.3 m below surface.
    • including 14.24 g/t Au screen metallic assay contribution from a 0.5 m sample where a half-dozen fine grains of visible gold were noted within a network of quartz veins.
• Drill hole BE-23-002
  • intersected 4.96 g/t Au over 3.0 m core-length located at a vertical depth of 119.6 m below surface.
    • includes a 16.66 g/t Au assay contribution from a 0.65 m sample and fine grain visible gold was also observed.
• Drill hole BE-23-003
  • intersected 3.02 g/t Au over 1.0 m at a vertical depth of 145 m below surface.

Jeff Swinoga, President and CEO, commented, "We were very excited to see visible gold in our first two holes drilled at Bullseye. It's a great start and these early results suggest the potential for making a significant near-surface gold discovery. It's fair to say that we are correctly situated in the Appleton gold system at Bullseye. Drilling continues and we look forward to the next set of assays."

To date, a total of 10 holes consisting of 3,232 metres of NQ drilling, have been completed of the 6,000-metre, results-oriented, drill program. The first three holes successfully intersected the Appleton Fault. This initial drilling program is designed to determine the potential for high grade gold discoveries along Exploits' 1.2 kilometre segment of the Appleton Fault Zone. The Company plans to complete down-hole surveys to assist with the mapping and orientation of the veins.

Bullseye Drilling - Selected Assays

Drill intercepts are reported as core lengths, true widths are not known at this time.

Bullseye Gold Target

Exploits' Bullseye gold target is fully permitted for exploration activities and located approximately three kilometres north of the Town of Appleton and easily accessible via existing forestry roads and trail networks.

Bullseye is considered a highly prospective drilling target that borders New Found Gold's recent gold discoveries along the Appleton Fault Corridor. The property is directly contiguous to New Found Gold and Labrador Gold properties where over a dozen drill rigs have been recently operating.

Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")

All prospective NQ core is logged and delineated for sampling by an Exploits' professional geologist. The core is subsequently halved by a diamond-bladed core saw by Company's technicians with one half being placed in a bag with a unique sample identification. The remaining half core is retained within the Company's secure storage facility in Gander, NL. Sample bags are sealed and then shipped directly to Eastern Analytical Ltd. Certified standards and blanks are inserted at defined intervals following the Company's QA/QC documented procedures, representing approximately 5% of all samples sent for assaying. All core samples are analyzed at Eastern Analytical Ltd. of 403 Little Bay Road, Springdale, NL, a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of Exploits. Samples are analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish (Au-FA30 ppb process) and/or a four-acid digestion followed by multi-element ICP-OES analysis. All samples with visible gold or assaying above 10.0 g/t Au are further assayed using metallic screen to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold.
