EXPLOITS SUBMITS APPLICATION FOR DRILLING AT THE LITTLE JOANNA AND

QUINLAN VEIN PROSPECTS WITHIN THE DOG BAY GOLD PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia – March 3 rd, 202 1 - Exploits Discovery Corp. (“Exploits” or the

“Company”) (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: RNRRF) (FSE: 634-FF) is pleased to announce the Company has

submitted drill permit applications for 4,500 metres of drilling at the Little Joanna and Quinlan

Vein prospects within the Dog Bay Gold Project, Newfoundland.

Highlights

● Exploits has planned and submitted diamond drilling applications for 18 holes totaling a

length of 4,500 metres across the Little Joanna Veins and Quinlan Veins prospects.

● 9 holes (2,250m) at the Little Joanna Veins, 9 holes (2,250m) at the Quinlan Veins

prospects.

● The diamond drill applications are in addition to the applications submitted at the

Schooner and Jonathan’s Pond prospects, totalling 10,500m over 33 holes across 4

prospects.

● Exploits drilling placement follows on the same targeting techniques used by New Found

Gold Corp. in the discovery hole at the Keats Zone (19m of 94g/t Au) targeting secondary

and tertiary displacement structures that are thought to be responsible for gold

mobilization and concentration in the Exploits Subzone*.

*sampling on adjacent properties may not be representative of results from Exploits claims.

● Exploits inaugural drilling programs are to commence pending approval in Spring 2021.

Michael Collins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exploits, commented: “The successful

sampling campaign Exploits conducted in late 2020, coupled with the efforts of our inhouse

team and partner GoldSpot Discoveries, has doubled our tier one drill targets to four across our

projects in the Exploits Subzone. The Exploits team is excited to refine each high value target for

drilling programs as we drive towards discovery in 2021.”

About 2021 Diamond Drilling

Exploits has identified 2 discrete targets, in addition to the 2 targets previously announced on

February 2nd, within the Dog Bay Gold Project that are nearing drill ready status. These targets

are the named the Little Joanna Veins and Quinlan Veins prospects. Drill permits have been

submitted for each prospect totalling 18 holes for a combined length of 4,500 metres. 9 holes

(2,250m) have been applied for at the Little Joanna Veins, targeting quartz veins with visible gold

at surface that assayed up to 194 g/t Au. These veins are interpreted to be structurally controlled

by a regional secondary, sub -parallel to the deep -seated Dog Bay Line fault zone, and an

approximately 2 km long tertiary displacement fault, named the Little Joanna Fault. 9 holes

(4,500m) were applied for at the Quinlan Vein prospect, targeting quartz veins with visible gold

at surface, returning assays of up to 61.3 g/t Au and 189 g/t Ag. These veins are also interpreted

to be structurally controlled by a regional secondary fault structure, stemming from the deep -

seated Appleton Fault zone. Additional targets are located at the interpreted intersection of the

aforementioned faults, testing possible structural dilations suitable for the deposition of gold.

Both the Little Joanna Veins and Quinlan Veins targets are deemed analogous to New Found

Gold’s Keats Zone due to the similarities in structural control and lithological host units.

While the permitting applications are being reviewed, Exploits plans to refine each target with

follow up field work. Ground geophysics, outcrop mapping, and trenching are being planned to

fine-tune each target to be drill ready once the permits have been approved.

The Little Joanna Veins and Quinlan Veins are located within a series of claims optioned from

Eddie and Roland Quinlan, (the “Quinlan Option”), on August 20, 2020 where Exploits can earn a

100% interest by paying $220,000 cash and issuing a further 2.5 million common shares and

$560,000 in either cash or common shares.

Quality Assurance – Quality Control (“QA/QC”)

All rock samples are collected by company personnel and bagged in the field with a sample tag

for identification. The bags are sealed with tape and kept secure at a company facility until they

are transported directly to the lab by Exploits staff.

All rock samples are analyzed at Eastern Analytical of 403 Little Bay Road, Springdale, NL, a

commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of Exploits

Discovery Corp. Eastern Analytical pulverized 1000 grams of each sample to 95% < 89 μm.

Samples are analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish and an ICP -34, four acid digestion

followed by ICP -OES analysis. All samples with visible gold or assaying above 8.00 g/t Au are

further assayed using metallic screen to mitigate the nugget effect of coarse gold, (Nugget effect

may cause a significant spread in resulting assay values using a 30 gram fire assay) . Samples in

this report were run for Ore Grade Assay with multi -acid digestion with AA finish for samples

above detection limit for silver.

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

Jonathan's Pond, Dog Bay, Mt. Peyton, Middle Ridge, True Grit, Great Bend and Gazeebow

projects which cumulatively cover an area of approximately 2,111 square kilometres.

All projects within Exploits’ portfolio lie within the Exploits Subzone.

Exploits believes that the Exploits Subzone, which runs 200 km from Dog Bay southwes t 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 focus of major staking and financing through out 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 picked individual land packages for staki ng 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.
