New Found Gold Appoints Douglas Hurst, Founding Member of Newmarket Gold, to Board of …

New Found believes that the geological setting and style of high grade epizonal gold mineralization at our Queensway project in Newfoundland has strong similarities to the high-grade discoveries at Fosterville, and we look forward to Doug’s insights and advice.

He was a founder and executive of International Royalty Corporation from 2003 to 2006, and a director until 2010 when the company was purchased by Royal Gold for approximately $700 million.

“I would also like to very much thank John Anderson for a very significant contribution to the Company as we built it from the private stage through becoming a public company and making significant discoveries on our Queensway project,” stated Collin Kettell, Chairman of New Found.

The project is intersected by the Trans-Canada Highway and has logging roads crosscutting the project, high voltage electric power lines running through the project area, and easy access to a highly skilled workforce.

Factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include risks associated possible accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated geological factors, the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting and other governmental clearances necessary to carry out the Company’s exploration plans, the risk that the Company will not be able to raise sufficient funds to carry out its business plans, and the risk of political uncertainties and regulatory or legal changes that might interfere with the Company’s business and prospects.
