VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 28, 2023 / Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY) and (NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury" or the "Company") is pleased to provide additional results from the 2023 infill drilling program at the Hinge Target at the high-grade Eau Claire gold project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. The Hinge Target infill program has increased confidence in the geological model and potential for expansion of the Eau Claire resource to the west. Drilling continues to intercept multiple zones of gold mineralization including 5.5 metres (m) of 4.52g/t gold and 3.0m of 3.34g/t gold from 23EC-069; 1.0m of 20.20g/t gold and 3.5m of 3.51g/t gold from 23EC-070; 1.0m of 19.55g/t gold from 23EC-066; and 3.5m of 3.82g/t gold from 23EC-067 (Table 1; Figure 1). Results from an additional eleven drill holes are still being processed for the Hinge Target.
"We are pleased to announce that we have completed approximately 19,000m within 31 holes drilled between the Hinge Target at the Eau Claire deposit and the Percival Prospect, 14km to the east. We not only exceeded our planned 15,000m of drilling for this year's program, but we also came in under budget," commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury, "Going forward, we have 16 more drill holes pending results and we reiterate that Fury remains one of the best positioned junior explorers in the sector."

Western Hinge Target
The Hinge Target sits immediately to the west, adjacent to the high-grade Eau Claire gold deposit. Drilling to date has identified nineteen discrete sub-vertical quartz tourmaline veins concentrated in two 100m wide corridors. The Hinge Target extends to the west of the deposit by over 400m with vertical continuity of veining of approximately 300m and remains open both to the west and up and down dip (Figure 2). The 2023 exploration program at the Hinge Target focused on tightening the nominal drill spacing to 60-80m to demonstrate the continuity of the mineralized vein corridors for eventual inclusion in an updated mineral resource estimation at Eau Claire.
"The Hinge Target has proven to be relatively predictable. The drill intercepts are within 1-2m of where our models predicted they would be and this provides a lot of confidence as we move forward into the resource modeling and estimation workflow. Our Quebec-based technical team and contractors delivered well above expectations this season and we are looking forward to the results from the remaining eleven drill holes at the Hinge and five at and along trend of the Percival Prospect," stated Bryan Atkinson, SVP, Exploration of Fury.
Sampling and Assaying Disclosure
Analytical samples for the Drill Program were taken by sawing HQ diameter core into equal halves on site with one half sent to ALS Chemex in Val D'or, Quebec, Canada for preparation and analysis. All samples were assayed using a 50 g nominal weight fire assay with inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry finish (Au-ICP22) and multi-element four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61). Where Au-ICP22 results were greater than 0.5 ppm Au the assay was repeated with a 50 g nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24). Samples containing more than 10 ppm by Au-AA24 were re-assayed with 50 g nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). QA/QC programs using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates and blanks indicate good overall accuracy and precision.
