Fury Commences Drilling at the Eau Claire Deposit

VANCOUVER, Canada – April 7, 2022 – Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX: FURY, NYSE American: FURY) (“Fury” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the 2022 exploration drilling program has commenced at its wholly-owned Eau Claire project in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. The goal of the program is to expand the high-grade Eau Claire gold deposit and follow up on the Percival discovery. The drill program will initially consist of approximately 15,000 metres (m), focusing on extending the resource along the southeast margin of the Eau Claire deposit, expanding the recent discovery at the Western Hinge target (Figure 1), and further testing the Percival discovery.

“We are excited to resume drilling in Quebec where we see considerable opportunity to expand our Eau Claire Deposit and the highly prospective Percival target,” said Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. “Our confidence in our targets is much higher this year due to the impressive amount of technical work and results we were able to obtain in the past 18 months.”

Eau Claire Deposit

The resource expansion drill program will continue to target the high-grade southeast margin of the existing resource, which is currently defined by 204,000 ounces at 11.81g/t gold (using a 2.5g/t gold cut-off grade) in the inferred category. This portion of the drill program is designed to extend the resource towards the southeast by connecting isolated resource blocks and expanding upon drill intercepts from 2021 including 6.04m of 11.56g/t (20EC-005) and 7.09m of 23.27g/t (21EC-022) as depicted in the red rectangle in Figure 2 (see news releases dated March 1 and May 25, 2021, respectively). In addition, the Company plans to drill between historical intercepts further to the east as depicted by the green rectangle in Figure 2 with the goal of bringing this area into an inferred resource category.

Hinge Target

The recently discovered Hinge target located on the western flank of the defined Eau Claire resource is characterized by a westerly plunging anticline that defines the overall geometry of the deposit. The anticline is interpreted to extend approximately one kilometre to the west based on geologic mapping and geophysical data that shows a westerly plunging conductivity anomaly imaging sediments hosted in the core of the fold (Figure 3). All four holes the Company completed in 2021 testing the Hinge geometry intercepted multiple zones of gold mineralization. Drill hole 21EC-041, the westernmost drill hole completed to date, intercepted seven zones of gold mineralization over a 110m drill width including 3.0m of 9.36 g/t gold, 3.0m of 3.38 g/t gold and 1.5m of 4.94 g/t gold (see news release dated November 29, 2021). From the limited drilling completed in 2021, Fury’s technical team is highly encouraged by the confirmation of both the presence of multiple stacked zones of mineralization as well as the geometry of the anticline.

“The Fury technical team has spent the last 18 months upgrading its knowledge of the Eau Claire deposit with a key understanding of the controls on mineralization based on several exploration concepts that were tested last year. Our plans at Eau Claire are to capitalize on what we learned in 2021 in an effort to meaningfully expand the resource in 2022,” commented Bryan Atkinson, P.Geol., SVP, Exploration of Fury.
