New Found Gold (TSXV:NFG) - High-Grade Strategy Meets Near-Term Cash Flow

Interview with Chief Executive Officer, Keith BoyleOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-explorer-to-producer-8484Recording date: 3rd December 2025New Found Gold Corporation is executing a capital-efficient development strategy that combines near-term cash flow from the recently acquired Hammerdown mine with advancement of the flagship Queensway Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada. The November 2025 Maritime Resources acquisition delivered two critical assets: a producing underground mine that poured first gold one day before closing, and the fully permitted Pine Cove mill that eliminates major infrastructure requirements for Queensway's planned 700-ton-per-day operation. Management's appointment of Cutfield Freeman to structure project financing for Queensway's $155 million initial capital requirement signals progress toward a debt-heavy capital structure, with Hammerdown cash flow serving as the equity portion to minimize shareholder dilution. Recent grade control drilling at five-meter spacing confirms exceptional grades at the Keats zone, with only 20% of results released from the 70,000-meter 2025 program. These dense drill patterns reduce estimation uncertainty in nuggety gold deposits and support anticipated resource upgrades in the 2026 technical report. Discovery of high-grade mineralization at Dropkick, located 11 kilometers from existing resources, demonstrates district-scale exploration potential beyond current mine plans. The company targets Q1 2026 permit submission for Queensway with approval expected in H2 2026, enabling development commencement toward late 2027 commercial production. Hammerdown is ramping to steady-state operations during H1 2026, providing cash generation that de-risks Queensway financing while maintaining exploration programs across both properties that could extend mine life and improve project economics.—Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
