shear zones technical
"significant intrusion-hosted target with multiple shear zones that remain open..."
Shear zones are regions in the Earth's crust where rocks have been strongly squeezed and slid past each other, producing a band of broken, stretched or recrystallized rock that can act like a plumbing system for mineral-bearing fluids. For investors, shear zones matter because they often control where valuable metals concentrate; thinking of them as a folded fabric that channels water helps explain why ore deposits commonly form along these lines, making them prime targets for exploration and affecting a project’s potential size and cost.
LiDAR technical
"mapping, LiDAR, and magnetics collectively define a >2.5 km structural trend..."
Lidar, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses laser beams to create detailed, three-dimensional maps of the environment. It works like a sophisticated eye that measures distances by bouncing light off objects, helping machines see and understand their surroundings. For investors, lidar is important because it enables advancements in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, which can drive innovation and growth in related industries.
metavolcanic-metasedimentary technical
"Shear zones within folded metavolcanic-metasedimentary units (Froyo, Da Vinci, Van Gogh)..."
A metavolcanic-metasedimentary unit is a mix of ancient volcanic rocks and sedimentary layers that have been altered by heat and pressure over time, forming a solid, banded rock package. Investors watch these rock types because they often control where valuable minerals like gold, copper or zinc concentrate; think of them as a layered cake whose seams and fillings can hide economically important mineral deposits, guiding exploration and value estimates.
saprolite technical
"MG003 (22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au; in oxide from 18 m down hole) intercepted... MG003 saprolite interval."
Saprolite is a soft, deeply weathered layer of rock that has turned crumbly and clay-like while keeping the original rock’s structure, often sitting above fresh bedrock. For investors, saprolite matters because it can host valuable minerals (like nickel or rare earths) that are easier and cheaper to mine and process than hard rock ores, and its presence influences project costs, expected recoveries, and environmental permitting.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") is pleased to announce drill core assay results from its ongoing drill program at the Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or the "Project") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The results include the first phase of drilling at the Parbo target and follow-up drilling at the Da Vinci and Maria Geralda targets - three priority emerging discoveries within the 56,000 hectare (ha) Antino Gold Project.

At Parbo, inaugural drilling has outlined broad, intrusion-hosted gold mineralization with internal high-grade shear zones, highlighted by 72.0 metres (m) of 1.01 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) including 4.0 m of 11.97 g/t Au in hole PB003, and 101.0 m of 0.62 g/t Au from surface in hole PB013. At Da Vinci, step-outs continue to extend the shear-hosted gold mineralization, including 19.5 m of 2.31 g/t Au and 22.5 m of 1.38 g/t Au in hole DV016. At Maria Geralda, drilling has now expanded mineralization 400 m southeast of the initial discovery, returning broad intrusion-hosted gold with discrete high-grade zones, including 53.0 m of 0.41 g/t Au in MG006 and 12.0 m of 1.12 g/t Au in MG010, adjacent to the previously reported 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au in MG003.

Colin Padget, Founders' President & CEO, commented: "These results from Parbo, Da Vinci, and Maria Geralda further demonstrate the scale and consistency of the gold systems emerging across Antino. Parbo, in particular, is shaping up as a significant intrusion-hosted target with multiple shear zones that remain open in all directions. I was especially impressed with Parbo hole PB013 which, including a 10 m interval of dilution, returned 200 m of 0.51 g/t Au from surface. We will continue to advance this exciting target into the new year. Da Vinci and Maria Geralda continue to deliver robust gold mineralized intercepts within increasingly well-defined structural corridors. Each round of drilling strengthens our geological model, guiding a focused, systematic, and value-driven approach as we plan our 2026 exploration program."

Geological Discussion

PARBO

Parbo is defined by a 1.2 km × 0.6 km historical gold-in-auger anomaly with local 1 m auger samples grading up to 51.42 g/t Au*. Founders' Phase 1 drilling targeted mapped intrusive contacts and shear zones to successfully confirm broad, continuous zones of gold mineralization within a granodiorite intrusive body. The current drill-defined mineralized corridor measures ~800 m × 400 m and down to ~250 m depth, remaining open in all directions. Geological logging from recent step-outs suggests the broader intrusive complex extends at least 1.4 km × 0.8 km and to ~275 m vertical depth. Regional auger sampling has also delineated a 2.8 km NW-trending anomaly coincident with a major linear feature identified in magnetic and LiDAR datasets. Future drilling will focus on targeting these potentially higher-grade contact zones within the Parbo target area and numerous additional intrusive centres identified across the Property.

DA VINCI

Drilling at Da Vinci extends the highest-grade gold zones strike length to ~200 m confirming multiple stacked shears hosted within a dominantly sedimentary rock package. Initial drilling of a newly identified parallel structure, located 1.5 km southwest, has returned encouraging mineralization over significant widths with 22.5 m of 0.24 g/t Au in DV019. This new zone represents part of a newly identified prospective structural corridor that extends 2.5 km between Da Vinci to Buese.

MARIA GERALDA

Follow-up drilling southeast of discovery hole MG003 (22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au; in oxide from 18 m down hole) intercepted shear-hosted mineralization along predominantly intrusive contacts and broader mineralized intervals within the intrusive body itself. Follow-up drilling and a thorough review of the structural data suggest that the high-grade zone in hole MG003 may represent a sub-horizontal shoot or rod-like body perpendicular to the main NW-trending shear zone - a common product of high-angle movement along such structures. Alternatively, narrower (< 5 m) intervals of shearing and quartz veining, locally containing anomalous gold values, were intercepted in hole MG005, ~80 m vertical distance below the MG003 saprolite interval. Additional drilling is needed to better understand the nature of high-grade gold mineralization at this target, however, these drill results extend the gold mineralized footprint at Maria Geralda to over 600 m, whilst anomalous results from recent surface geochemistry (auger) suggests the gold system extends more than double that to approximately 1.3 km, and the target retains considerable potential for future exploration work.

The 2025 program continues to demonstrate that Antino hosts multiple mineralizing centres across a regional structural framework with both high-grade shear zones and broad intrusion-hosted systems. All eight target areas drilled to date have returned significant gold mineralization. Gold mineralization at Antino occurs in several settings:

  • Shear zones within folded metavolcanic-metasedimentary units (Froyo, Da Vinci, Van Gogh)
  • Along intrusive contacts (Donut, Maria Geralda)
  • Within high-strain zones internal to intrusive bodies (Parbo, Lower Antino, Buese)

The Company is currently preparing its 2026 exploration plan to incorporate drill-ready targets from the newly acquired expanded concession area and incoming high-resolution airborne geophysics and expanded regional geochemical surveys. An exploration and drilling plan for 2026 will be released early in the coming year along with additional pending drill assay results from Parbo, Da Vinci, Van Gogh, and Lower Antino.

Quality Assurance and Control

Samples were analyzed at FILAB Suriname, a Bureau Veritas Certified Laboratory in Paramaribo, Suriname (a commercial certified laboratory under ISO 9001:2015). Samples are crushed to 75% passing 2.35 mm screen, riffle split (700 g) and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm. Samples were analyzed using a 50 g fire assay (50 g aliquot) with an Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 grams per tonne (g/t), another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Founders Metals inserts blanks and certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control. External QA-QC checks are performed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Lima, Peru (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Drill intervals with visible gold are assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

* Intervals are down-hole depths. True widths of mineralization are estimated to be approximately 75-85% of the down-hole interval based on currently available results and observations. All are diamond drill holes. Interval average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts. Average widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with <5.0 m of internal dilution of zero grade, and a minimum composite length of 2.0 m. Intervals below 1.0 gram-metre or with average grade below 0.2 g/t Au are not reported.
