Founders Metals Inc. announced drill core assay results from its fully-funded 2024 drill program at the Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname. The Company reports results for a further two holes from the Froyo Gold Zone with highlight down hole intervals of 15.0 metres (m) of 8.18 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 26.0 m of 5.52 g/t Au. Drill holes 048 and 049 intercept gold mineralization over multiple zones starting from surface with 297.2 and 190.2 total gram-metres per tonne (gm/t), respectively.

Highlights: Drill hole 23FR048 intercepts gold over five zones starting from surface: 6.6 m of 2.07 g/t Au from 0.0 m down hole; 12.0 m of 3.92 g/t Au from 12.6 m; 18.0 m of 2.68 g/t Au from 33.0 m; 15.0 m of 8.18 g/t Au from 63.0 m; 6.0 m of 10.94 g/t Au from 145.0 m. Drill hole 23FR049 intercepts gold over four zones starting from surface including 26.0 m of 5.52 g/t Au from 44 m down hole. Drill hole 048 and 049 intercepted multiple zones of intense silicification and local sericitization. Tourmaline and Fe-carbonate are commonly associated with elevated gold grades.

Pyrrhotite and pyrite content ranges from 5 - 20% within the gold zones. The apparent orientation and overall character of these intervals is similar to the main Froyo Gold Zone.
