Founders Metals Inc. announced drill core assay results from its fully-funded 2024 drill program at the Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname. The Company reports the results of four infill holes from the Froyo Gold Zone closing a substantial gap in drilling. All four holes intercepted the main Froyo shear where expected, further demonstrating the robust nature and excellent continuity of the gold system at Froyo.

The top interval returned 13.0 metres (m) of 11.02 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) in drill hole 24FR054. Highlights. Hole 24FR053 intercepts 5.0 m of 10.23 g/t Au from 155.0 m down hole Hole 24FR054 intercepts 13.0 m of 11.02 g/t Au from 150.0 m down hole.

Hole 24FR055 intercepts 8.0 m of 4.67 g/t Au from 186.0 m down hole. hole 24FR056 intercepts 13.0 m the continuity and strength of gold grades within the main Froyo sheAR, particularly as drill to greater depths within the system. Intervals are estimated to represent 85% or more of true width based on current drill data.

Gold mineralization outside of the main shear will be included in future modelling pending new data from upcoming expansion drilling results. The outer edge of the model represents an absence of data only and the system remains open along strike, to the east, and to depth. The previously reported 8.0 m of 8.43 g/t Au in hole 50 is the deepest main shear intercept to date but is conservatively not yet included in the model pending more drilling at depth.
