New Found Gold Corp. (“New Found” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to announce the grand opening of its new 25,000sq ft core shack and office facility in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, designed and constructed to support logging and processing of drill core from the ongoing 500,000m drill campaign at its Queensway Project. The 100%-owned Queensway Project comprises an approximately 1,650km2 area with the current area of drilling focused along the Appleton Fault Zone accessible via the Trans-Canada Highway, 15km west of Gander.

Highlights:

  • The Giga-Shack is a modern core processing facility with 15,000sq ft of floor area dedicated to drill core logging, core cutting, and sample preparation. It also includes 10,000sq ft of office space including 23 new offices and several common area workspaces. The facility was constructed on the same land parcel as the Company’s existing 7,500sq ft core facility in Gander and has been designed to support the wide range of exploration and anticipated future development activities at the Queensway Project.
  • This new facility was constructed over a ten-month period and was completed within budget with zero lost time injuries by an all-Newfoundland-based consortium of contractors.
  • New Found would like to thank the local companies and contractors who completed this work including Riverstone Construction, Gander Electrical and Mechanical, Lou’s Electrical, Cecon Engineering, Crosby Engineering, Landmark Surveys, Balsoms Plumbing and Heating, The Computer Shack and H. Wareham and Sons, and a special thank you to the team of men and women whose dedication contributed to the safe and successful completion of this project.

Greg Matheson, COO of New Found, stated: “As the Queensway Project continues to grow, adding the Giga-Shack will enhance the efficiency of drilling operations and provide much-needed additional office space for our exploration and pre-development team. I’d like to thank the many contractors that contributed to the completion of the project and the Town of Gander for its ongoing support of the Company. Newfoundland is fortunate to have both a highly skilled workforce of tradespeople and supportive communities that enable projects like Queensway to move forward efficiently and successfully. Thank you also to the many people who were able to attend our open house event on Friday.”
