Location and Infrastructure

The Committee Bay gold project is located in Nunavut, Canada. It includes over 250,000 hectares situated along the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt (CBGB).

The CBGB is located approximately 180 kilometres (km) NE of Agnico Eagle Mines’ Meadowbank mine and extends more than 300km northeast to the shores of Committee Bay, within Nunavut.

The project benefits from existing infrastructure, which includes:

  • Three Fury owned drill rigs
  • Heated drill water system
  • Heavy equipment on site
  • 100-person camp at the Three Bluffs deposit area and three satellite camps along the belt

Project Geology

The CBGB comprises one of a number of Archean aged greenstone belts occurring withing the larger Western Churchill province of north-eastern Canada. The character and history of rock packages, and the timing and nature of mineralization occurring withing the CBGB is considered to be equivalent to that of other significant gold bearing Archean greenstones within the Western Churchill Province, which hosts deposits such as Meadowbank and Meliadine.

Three Bluffs deposit remains open for expansion both along strike and at depth and is considered to have excellent exploration upside to significantly increase the resource base within 5km of the currently defined deposit trend.

Exploration

In 2021, significant gold mineralization associated with crenulated metasediments within a regional shear zone running sub-parallel to the iron formation host of the Three Bluffs deposit was identified. Shear zone hosted gold mineralization represents a style of gold mineralization that has been historically under-explored within the Project. Exploration historically has focused on magnetic iron formation stratigraphy up ice of gold in till or gold bearing boulder occurrences. Across the Committee Bay supracrustal belt there are several significant gold in till anomalies that have yet to be explained and do not appear to be sourced from nearby iron formation units. There is good potential to discover additional mineralization and to add to the resource base within the Project.

High-priority target areas were identified in 2020 following a reinterpretation of magnetics and geological data from across the 300-kilometre greenstone belt. Two significant fold hinge targets at the Anuri and Amautik prospects will be advanced to drill stage through ground-based geophysical surveys.

2019 Drill Program

The 2019 summer drill program resulted in the Company drilling a new gold-bearing hydrothermal system and making significant progress in geophysical targeting. At the Shamrock target Auryn intersected 30 metres (m) of 0.67 g/t gold, including 1.5m of 5.03 g/t gold, which is characterized by quartz veining within gabbroic rocks. The Shamrock target is located 2.5km  to the southwest of the Aiviq target where the Company drilled 10.5km of 1.22 g/t gold this summer.

Importantly, a high quality pipeline of targets exists within the CBGB that are both drill ready and can quickly be advanced to drill stage. The most advanced of these targets are high-grade occurrences that have been defined through initial diamond drill testing. These include the Inuk, West Plains, and Raven targets that have the following drilling highlights listed in the table below. Collectively, these advanced targets demonstrate the potential to define additional high-grade resources within the CBGB.

Exploration work on the Committee Bay Property is supervised by Bryan Atkinson, P. Geol., SVP of Exploration at Fury and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Unless otherwise indicated, Mr. Atkinson has reviewed and is responsible for the technical information contained in this website in relation to the Committee Bay Project.

High-resolution till sampling has become an integral layer of data for six targets at Committee Bay, Nunavut. These targets include the previously disclosed Aiviq sampling, which was drilled in 2017.

Gold assay results from the high-resolution (100 metre by 100 metre spacing) till surveys across nine regional targets demonstrate greater precision for identifying the potential source areas of high-grade gold mineralization seen throughout the belt. The results of the surveys have delineated gold-in-till anomalies that are consistent with the size of potential deposit footprints and will form the basis of future drill campaigns at Committee Bay.

Machine Learning:

The Computational Geoscienes Inc. machine learning platform will generate additional targets across the ‘Three Bluffs playing field’ –a 1,600 square kilometre area, which includes the Three Bluffs Deposit and the 20km shear zone hosting the Aiviq and Kallulik targets where significant gold mineralization has been encountered. The platform will process the vast amount of data (collected through extensive surface geochemical sampling, geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and drilling) from work Auryn and prior explorers have completed on the project.

To produce optimal results there needs to be extensive experience in the aforementioned fields of geoscience data processing, data interpretation, and artificial intelligence, and between Auryn and CGI, there exists a world-class team of experts across these disciplines.

Communities and the Environment

Fury Gold Mines understands the shared value that mining can bring but also understands its risks and the importance of responsible and sustainable development. The company strives to maintain the highest standards of environmental protection and community engagement throughout all of its projects.

Fury is focused on bringing this shared value approach to the arctic.
