New Found Gold is an emerging Canadian gold producer with assets in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The Company holds a 100% interest in the Queensway Gold Project (" Queensway ") and Hammerdown, which includes the Hammerdown deposit and Pine Cove milling and tailings facilities.

In July 2025, the Company completed a PEA at Queensway (see New Found Gold press release dated July 21, 2025 ).
