Exploits Visible GOLD Samples Assay 194 G/T GOLD at the Little Joanna Veins Within the Dog BAY GOLD Project, Newfoundland
EXPLOITS VISIBLE GOLD SAMPLES ASSAY 194 G/T GOLD AT THE LITTLE JOANNA
VEINS WITHIN THE DOG BAY GOLD PROJECT, NEWFOUNDLAND
Vancouver, British Columbia – February 12th, 2021 - Exploits Discovery Corp. (“Exploits” or the
“Company”) (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: RNRRF) (FSE: 634-FF) is pleased to announce the assay results
from the late 2020 prospect sampling campaign in the Dog Bay Gold Project. Samples from the
Little Joanna Veins included quartz veins with visible gold returning assays up to 194 g/t Au.
Highlights
● 16 samples from outcrop and subcrop at the Little Joanna Veins were taken with values ranging
from 0.1 to 194 g/t Au. Five samples with visible gold returned assays of 194, 133, 123, 119,
and 118 g/t Au.
● The quartz veins were uncovered up to 20 metres of strike length at an average width of 30
centimetres before becoming buried under overburden and are open in all directions.
● Secondary fault structures sub-parallel to the Dog Bay Line, identified by GoldSpot Discoveries
geophysical analysis of regional magnetic surveys, underlay the gold bearing quartz vein location
and provide evidence for the structurally controlled, orogenic gold model that successfully
targeted the Keats Zone discovery for New Found Gold Corp.
● The Company and GoldSpot geologists are working on a follow up exploration and drill targeting
plan for this high priority drill target.
● Exploits CEO Michael Collins is pleased to host an investors update presentation via Zoom,
on February 17th-2021 at 10:00am Pacific Standard Time (2:30pm NST) (See details and
link below).
Michael Collins, President & Chief Executive Officer of Exploits, commented: “The Dog Bay Project is
crosscut by major and secondary fault structures, and the visible gold in the Little Joanna veins are
another demonstration that the epizonal, orogenic gold model is proving to be valid throughout the
length of the Exploits Subzone fault systems. With the fieldwork, geophysics and GoldSpot A.I. analysis,
we are rapidly and efficiently identifying high value targets for further exploration and drilling programs
starting in spring 2021.”
Abundant fine and coarse visible gold was discovered within the veins (Figure 2) as well as in crack seal
fractures. The Little Joanna veins have been exposed for up to 20 metres along strike before diving
under thick overburden at both ends and are 20-50 cm wide massive quartz. These veins occur across a
width of 20m perpendicular to the strike. Stylolites of sulphide were observed along with fine to
medium grained pyrite and arsenopyrite in the quartz vein itself. The veins are mainly milky white and
display vuggy and crack seal textures, which are typical of epizonal, orogenic gold deposits. Structurally,
the veins are situated within a secondary fault structure associated with, and sub-parallel to, the Dog
Bay Line Fault Zone, which was highlighted by GoldSport Discoveries’ geophysical analysis of regional
airborne magnetic geophysics.

Analysis of these results by GoldSpot geophysicists and the Exploits team demonstrates both the
relationship of the Little Joanna Fault within a kink in the regionally extensive “Dog Bay Line” fault as
well as indicating there is a second, unexplored sub parallel fault west of the Little Joanna Fault that also
has potential to host gold mineralization. These faults and structures are important in producing the
open spaces required for the deposition of large gold deposits and this makes Little Joanna a priority
for our team.

Gold Project. Gold grains were observed between <1 millimetre and 3 millimetres in diameter. Black
shale inclusions and sulphide stylolite veinlets are typical in the quartz veining.
Exploits plans to further understand the Little Joanna Veins with follow up exploration. This includes
Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon (SGH) soil sampling, high resolution ground geophysical
surveys, and trenching to further develop this tier one target in preparation for drilling. Access to the
Little Joanna Veins is by a well-connected network of forestry roads off of Highway 340, 28 kilometres
east of the town of Lewisporte, situated on the Atlantic ocean.
The Little Joanna Veins are located with one of a series of claims optioned from from Eddie and Roland
Quinlan, (the “Quinlan Option”), on August 20, 2020 where Exploits can earn a 100% interest by paying

or issuing property by paying an aggregate of $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 presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold. Samples in this report were run for Ore Grade
Assay when 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 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 focus 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 picked 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.
