Exploits Identifies New GOLD Anomalies Using Sgh Soil Survey at the Jp Vein, Jonathan’S Pond
EXPLOITS IDENTIFIES NEW GOLD ANOMALIES USING SGH SOIL SURVEY AT THE
JP VEIN, JONATHAN’S POND
AND SHIPS AN ADDITIONAL 3062 SOIL SAMPLES FOR SGH ANALYSIS
Vancouver, November 24th, 2020 - Exploits Discovery Corp., (“Exploits” or the “Company”) (CSE:
NFLD) (FSE: 634-FF) is pleased to announce that it has received the results from the orientation
Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon (SGH) soil program over known mineralization at
Jonathan’s Pond and completed the collection of SGH samples at the Dog Bay and True Grit gold
projects.
Program Highlights
• The SGH technique was successful in delineating known gold mineralization at the JP Vein
showing.
• The SGH technique also identifies an additional 300 metres to the JP vein target of the JP
Vein.
• SGH and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) anomalies overlay known and
recently discovered gold in trenching at Jonathan’s Pond, identifying SGH as a viable
exploration technique in the Exploits Subzone Gold Belt.
• Collection of 2,021 samples a t the Dog Bay and 1,041 samples at the True Grit gold
projects was completed and have been shipped to ActLabs in Ontario for SGH analysis
Michael Collins, Chief Executive Officer of Exploits, commented: “Exploits is excited that the
results of the SGH orie ntation survey correlates with known mineralization on the project ,
provides new targets and validates Exploits plans for identifying gold through soil cover in the
Exploits Subzone. We are excited to get results back on our SGH surveys on the Dog Bay and True
Grit Gold Projects.”
The orientation SGH survey was designed to have several 100 metre spaced lines transect known
gold and sulphide mineralization in outcrop and trenches, of up to 28.8 g/t Au, at the Jonathan’s
Pond Gold Project. Sample spacings were at 25 metres to increase the probability of picking up
SGH signatures given off by gold mineralization in till covered veins and host rock. Results show
SGH showed us new areas to target for exploration, and duplicated known results, providing
evidence this will be a valuable tool for seeing through the glacial overburden and to bedrock.
This study demonstrates the viability of the survey as an exploration tool in the Exploits Subzone
Gold Belt. INAA was conducted on the soil samples as well to examine orogenic gold system path
finder elements in the soil itself and relate it to the SGH signatures. Elevated Au-As-Sb in soil was
identified and roughly correlates with high SGH responses, indicating that glacial movement
between the gold and pathfinder elements in soil has not been very far from the source picked
out by the SGH in the area.
Exploits is also pleased to announce that 2,021 SGH samples from the Dog Bay and 1,041 SGH
samples from the True Grit Gold Projects of the district-scale SGH soil program have been
collected and sent to ActLabs in Ontario for analysis. The sample grids target pre -existing gold
showings and the till covered surrounding areas. The company expects to receive the results in
mid to late December.
Test pits and trenching at Golden Pond , within the Jonatha n’s Pond project, following up on
historic till samples of up to 52,000 ppb has discovered quartz veining in bedrock, similar to the
main gold bearing JP vein. Discovery of these new quartz veins increase the overall footprint of
the system and provide a large target area to explore. Crews are currently on the property and
have commenced expanding the trenching and sampling program.
Silver Dollar Project
The company also announces that it has dropped it option on the Silver Dollar Property and
returned it to the vendor Origen Resources.
About the SGH Survey
Actlabs describes the SGH survey as follows: “Actlabs’ Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon
(SGH) analysis is a high -performance deep penetrating geochemistry which has successfully
shown the presence of deeply buried mineral deposits. The survey technique involves the
collection of near surface soils, peat, humus, till, and sand in t he field and then desorbing the
weakly bound heavy hydrocarbons in the C5 -C17 carbon series range at the laboratory from
sample material. The desorbed organic compounds are collected and introduced into a Gas
Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) where o ver 160 of these heavier hydrocarbon
compounds are measured. The analysis identifies a mixture of hydrocarbon compounds that
provide a highly confident, unique fingerprint that identifies mineralization under thick cover.
Measurements do not recognize inorganic content in the samples; therefore, the results do not
reflect mobilized anomalies or any nugget affect. SGH in tandem with geophysics is a cost -
effective technique to improve drill targeting success.”
About the INAA
Actlabs describes the INAA as follows: “Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) is used
to determine the concentration of trace and major elements in the soil, sediment, vegetation,
and heavy mineral samples. The samples are encapsulated and subjected to irradiation in a
nuclear reactor. Once the samples have undergone a period of suitable decay, they are measured
for the emitted gamma ray fingerprint. This method is quite sensitive, accurate and precise, and
is used to analyze for minor and select trace elements in low concentratio ns. INAA is
exceptionally good for pathfinder elements such as Au, As, and Sb.”

Quality Assurance - Quality Control
The Exploits exploration program design is consistent with industry best practices and the
program is carried out by qualified persons employing a quality assurance/quality control
program consistent with National Instrument 43-101.
All soil samples are collected by company personnel and bagged in the field with a sample tag for
identification. The bags ar e sealed with zip ties and kept secure at a company facility until they
are transported directly via a commercial shipping company. Samples are shipped in rice bags
with security tags which are verified upon delivery to the lab
All SGH soil samples are ana lyzed at Activation Labo ratories of 41 Bittern Street, Ancaster,
Ontario, a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent
of Exploits Discovery Corp. All reported soil samples were analyzed by SGH and INAA, with SGH
results interpreted by the lab.
About Exploits Discovery Corp.
Exploits Discovery is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and
development of mineral projects in Newfoundland, Canada. The company currently holds the
Middle Ridge, Tr ue Grit, Great Bend, Mt. Peyton, Jonathan's Pond, Gazeebow and Dog Bay
projects which cumulatively cover an area of 2,074 square kilometers.
All projects within Exploits portfolio lie within the Exploits subzone.
Exploits believes that the Exploits subzone , which runs 200 km from Dog Bay southwest to Bay
d'Espoir, has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980s. The last 40
years have seen incremental advancements in the understanding of gold mineralization in the
camp. The sum of this knowledge is now coming together in discrete and effective exploration
models that have delivered discovery such as New Found Gold's 2019 discovery of 92.86 g/t Au
over 19.0 metres near surface. The Exploits Subzone and GRUB regions have been the foc us of
major staking and financing throughout 2020, with increased exploration activities forecasted in
the area moving into 2021.
The team at Exploits, with significant local experience and knowledge, have studied the entirety
of the Exploits subzone and p icked individual land packages for staking or joint venture where
there is an opportunity for world class discoveries and mine development. Exploits intends to
leverage its local team and the larger shift in understanding and become one of the most
extensive explorers in the Exploits subzone.
We seek Safe Harbor.
