NEW FOUND PROVIDES UPDATE ON DEEP DRILLING PROGRAM,
ENGAGES DEVICO DIRECTIONAL DRILLING SERVICES AT QUEENSWAY
Vancouver, BC, June 11, 2024 - New Found Gold Corp.
(“New Found” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to provide a deep drilling
update on its 100% owned Queensway Project (“Queensway”), located on the Trans-Canada Highway 15km west of Gander,
Newfoundland.
Highlights:
| • | In early March, the Company announced commencement
of its deep drilling program at Queensway to test targets derived from the initial 3-D seismic interpretation. To date, a total of 10,345m
have been completed in 12 drill holes ranging in length from 550 to 1,230m. The program is ongoing and results are pending. |
| • | Referring to Figure 1 below, initial targets
selected include down-dip step-outs on some of the most significant mineralized zones and structures: |
| • | At Jackpot and Lotto, the Company has drilled
three holes targeting the zones at depth in areas that coincide with apparent structural breaks and reflectors in the 3-D seismic data.
|
| • | At K2, one hole was drilled to test the down-dip
extension of the K2 structure while continuing on to test a prospective region where the Glenwood and the Appleton Fault zones converge
and coincide with a reflective feature in the seismic data. |
| • | At Iceberg, two drill holes have been completed
testing the Keats-Baseline-Fault Zone (“KBFZ”) in an area where the KBFZ appears to change direction based on the seismic
interpretation. At the same time, the Company is extending several existing Iceberg holes towards the Appleton Fault Zone (“AFZ”)
to target a previously untested and highly prospective ‘wedge’ between the KBFZ and the AFZ and below Keats West. |
| • | Two drill holes have been completed at the south
extension of Keats, targeting the down plunge extension of the KBFZ. |
| • | The Company has engaged Devico AS, a division
of IMDEX, a leading supplier of directional drilling services, to apply its DeviDrill steerable core barrel technology at Queensway. Devico
is in the process of deploying a team of technicians to the project site that will work closely with New Found and onsite drill contractors
to apply this directional drilling technology that will enable branch holes. Branching involves single hole re-entry and directional drilling
techniques to branch off existing holes at depth and more quickly target and define areas of interest. |
Melissa Render, VP of Exploration for New Found, stated:
“Our quest to unlock the deep potential of Queensway is off to a good start. With 12 holes completed, we are rapidly advancing
our understanding of the geological environment and acquiring data that will help us to refine our interpretation of the 3-D seismic survey.
Through 500,000+ meters of near-surface drilling, our team has developed a robust understanding of the controls on mineralization at Queensway
and we are keen to apply that knowledge to this untested domain. In our search for staying at the forefront of exploration technology,
we are proud to add directional drilling to our arsenal of tools. Devico is a renowned, industry-leader in directional drilling and the
application of this technology should help us to lower cost, while increasing efficiency.”

Forward-Looking Statement Cautions
This press release contains certain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, relating to exploration, drilling and mineralization on the Company’s
Queensway gold project in Newfoundland and Labrador; the deep drilling program and the pending results and benefits of such program; the
work to be completed by Devico and the expected benefits of such work, including that the technology should help the Company to lower
cost and environmental impact, while increasing efficiency; assay results; the interpretation of drilling and assay results, the results
of the drilling program, mineralization and the discovery of zones of high-grade gold mineralization; plans for future exploration and
drilling and the timing of same; the merits of the Queensway project; future press releases by the Company; and funding of the drilling
program. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
to be correct. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they are generally, but not always, identified

from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include risks associated with possible accidents and other risks associated
with mineral exploration operations, the risk that the Company will encounter unanticipated geological factors, risks associated with
the interpretation of exploration, drilling and assay results, 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. The reader is urged to refer to the Company's Annual Information Form and Management’s
discussion and Analysis, publicly available through the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and
Retrieval (SEDAR+) at www.sedarplus.ca for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects.
