Exploits Announces Remaining Drilling Results from Phase 4 Drilling at Bullseye
Toronto, April 17, 2025 - Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) ("Exploits" or the "Company") is pleased to report its assay results from the remaining diamond drill holes completed this winter on its Bullseye property (see Table 1 below). The holes drilled in 2025 were designed to both follow up and extend mineralization at the Saddle Zone, as well as test for additional gold mineralization and prospective structures related to the western flank of the Appleton Fault Zone ("AFZ").
Jeff Swinoga, President and CEO, comments, "We are encouraged by the latest drill results, which confirm the continuation of the gold mineralization at the Saddle Zone, extending northward on our Bullseye property. These results mark the successful completion of our fourth drill campaign at Bullseye, which also include a standout intercept of 25.36 g/t gold over 1.60 metres, further extending the Horseshoe Zone at depth.
"With 20,000 metres of drilling completed to date at Bullseye, we've identified two high-grade gold zones: Horseshoe and Saddle. The recently announced resource by New Found Gold Corp. ("NFG") - spanning a 5 km stretch immediately south of our Bullseye property - further highlights the significant potential of our 10+ km of contiguous claims along the highly prospective Appleton Fault Zone. Looking ahead, the Company is well-positioned for continued advancement, with over $4 million in cash and no debt."

Bullseye Gold Property
The Bullseye claims were staked by Exploits in September 2022 and are contiguous to NFG's Queensway and Kingsway projects. The Company considers these to be highly prospective because geological interpretation shows they directly overlay a 1,200 by 800 metres segment of the AFZ and its related splay structures.
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 the 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 currently 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-FAA 30 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. Metallic screen assays are reported as 'Weighted Averaged ppb' directly calculated from the lab.
