is pleased to provide details on the 2021 drill program at the Elmtree
Gold in northeastern New Brunswick. Drilling started October 6, 2021, focusing on infill and expanding
the West Gabbro, South Gold, and Discovery Zones. Following this work, first-pass exploration drilling is

to the south and southwest;
2)
to collect new structural and other geological data to understand better
and target mineralization;
3)
to test high-priority regional gold targets on the Elmtree property.
The Company's two-phase drill program includes
Phase 1
: an initial 2,500 metres of drilling focusing on
infill and expansion drilling of the West Gabbro and South Gold Zones;
Phase 2
: advances the
Discovery Zone Expansion Area, high-priority exploration targets, or further development of the West
Gabbro Zone, with the option to expand the drill program up to 10,000 m. Phase 1 is expected to take
approximately 5 weeks to complete and for the overall program to continue into December.
"With pad building underway and completion of a newly constructed core facility, the Founders team is
very excited to start drilling. We've identified numerous high-priority infill and expansion targets on each
of the property's three main gold zones, and there are some exciting new targets as well. We are looking
forward to seeing new drill data and results as they become available on one of the most exciting active
gold projects in Atlantic Canada," commented John Williamson, CEO of Founders Metals.
