LUNDIN GOLD REPORTS STRONG EXPLORATION RESULTS ACROSS PORTFOLIO OF TARGETS AND EXPANDS 2025 DRILLING PROGRAM TO 108,000 METRES

Cision Canada07-05-2025
VANCOUVER, BC, May 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUG) (OTCQX: LUGDF) ("Lundin Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive results from its conversion and near-mine exploration drilling programs at its 100% owned Fruta del Norte ("FDN") gold mine in southeast Ecuador. High-grade intercepts from the conversion program at FDN South ("FDNS") have confirmed the deposit's continuity. At FDN East, further high-grade results continue to underscore the target's growth potential. At Trancaloma, results confirm the discovery of a copper-gold porphyry system at surface and highlight the potential for other porphyries near Trancaloma. At Bonza Sur, drilling confirms the mineral envelope and indicates the potential for further extension. Following the programs' successes in the first quarter and a growing pipeline of targets, the 2025 exploration program is being expanded from an initial 80,000 metres to a minimum of 108,000 metres. Highlights from drilling programs at FDNS, FDN East, Trancaloma and Bonza Sur are outlined below, with detailed results provided in Appendix 1. View PDF
Ron Hochstein, President and CEO, commented, " I am very excited to announce our initial results from Lundin Gold's 2025 drilling program, which continue to demonstrate the significant exploration potential and a growing pipeline of targets around FDN. At FDNS, high-grade results from our conversion drilling program have confirmed the continuity of the system and identified new mineralized zones. Recent high-grade drill results at FDN East have significantly advanced our geological understanding of the target and its potential. At Trancaloma, the wide copper-gold mineralization intercepted confirm the existence of a porphyry at surface and our recent exploration work strongly suggest the occurrences of other mineralized porphyry systems surrounding FDN. Based on these results, we will accelerate the delineation of these new exploration opportunities and are therefore planning to increase our drilling programs for 2025 from 80,000 to a minimum of 108,000 metres, which will represent the largest annual drilling program ever completed at FDN."
FDNS Drilling Highlights (not true widths):
Drill hole FDN-C25-196 intersected 72.80 grams per tonne ("g/t") of gold ("Au") over 7.95m from 67.60m, including:
1,320.0 g/t Au over 0.40m

616.00 g/t Au over 0.45m
Conversion drilling results have confirmed the continuity of FDNS and identified additional mineralized zones. Based on these results, the 2025 conversion drilling program is being increased by 10,000 metres. In addition, studies are underway with the goal of integrating FDNS into FDN's 2026 long-term mine plan.
FDN East Drilling Highlights (not true widths):
Drill hole UGE-E-25-248 intersected 7.12 g/t Au over 14.30m from 229.85m and 4.62 g/t Au over 23.15m from 321.30m including:
15.23 g/t Au over 5.75m
8.19 g/t Au over 6.85m
Drill results show FDN East mineralization continuity and indicate areas for further expansion.
Trancaloma Drilling Highlights (not true widths):
Drill hole TRL-2024-220 intersected 0.41% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 1.51 g/t Ag, and 14.21 ppm Mo (0.50% CuEq 1) over 858.10m from 0.0m, including:
0.54% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 1.94 g/t Ag, and 11.08 ppm Mo (0.65% CuEq 1) over 447.95m
With confirmation of the presence of a copper and gold porphyry system, these results significantly enhance the prospectivity around FDN and suggest the potential for other porphyry targets near Trancaloma, including Castillo and Sandia.
Bonza Sur Highlights (not true widths):
Results confirm the continuity of the mineral envelope and indicate potential extension along the southern limit and spatial relation in the east with the recently discovered Trancaloma porphyry. The decision has been made to delay the initial Mineral Resource estimate on Bonza Sur to better understand this mineral system.
2025 Exploration Program Increase:
The 2025 drilling program is being expanded as follows:
Conversion drilling program increased from 15,000 to 25,000 metres 2
Near-mine exploration program increased from 65,000 to 83,000 metres and estimated to cost $39 million from $32 million
SUMMARY OF CURRENT DRILLING PROGRAMS
The Company's near-mine exploration strategy focuses on extending mine life through the expansion of Mineral Resources at FDN by exploring and delineating new discoveries close to the operation. Over the past three years, the exploration programs at FDN have driven the resource growth and the discovery of new sectors.
In 2025, the near-mine underground drilling program continues to advance at FDNS by expanding this deposit, while the surface drilling explores the extensions of Bonza Sur, FDN East, Trancaloma and test new sectors around FDN (see Figure 1). The conversion drilling program at FDNS is meeting our objectives to date regarding improving our understanding of the deposit. Fourteen rigs (10 surface rigs and four underground rigs) are currently turning across the conversion and near-mine exploration programs.

2 Costs of the 2025 conversion drilling program are classified as Sustaining Capital.
FDNS
Starting in February, the conversion underground drilling programs advanced at FDNS where the primary focus is to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated category and improve the confidence of the geological model. The FDNS deposit is an epithermal vein system recently defined across the southern limit of FDN and is currently estimated to contain a large Inferred Resource of approximately 2.09 Moz from 12.35 Mt with an average grade of 5.25 g/t. For more information on the FDN Mineral Reserve and Resource estimate as at December 31, 2024, please refer to the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 17, 2025 (the "AIF") under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The conversion drilling program advanced in the western and central sectors of FDNS where a total of 2,761 metres of underground drilling across 17 drill holes was completed. All drill holes confirmed the mineralization continuity and indicated higher grade zones within the vein system (see Figure 2). Highlights to drill holes FDN-C25-196 (72.80 g/t Au over 7.95m) and FDN-C25-198 (48.82 g/t Au over 6.45m) related to higher grade veins in the west sector of the deposit. Assay results from the drilling undertaken at FDNS are presented in Table 1.
Furthermore, several conversion drill holes intercepted mineralized zones outside of existing geological modelling. Of note, drill holes FDN-C25-204 (40.60 g/t Au over 13.90m), FDN-C25-203 (12.49 g/t Au over 10.55m) and UGE-S-25-251 (10.80 g/t Au over 12.85m) defined an additional higher-grade zone within the central portion of FDNS. Two underground rigs are currently turning as part of the conversion drilling program at FDNS.
The FDNS deposit remains open for expansion to the North and along the south extension where an underground rig is currently exploring this potential from the recently reopened and rehabilitated South Portal. In addition to the drilling programs, engineering work began to evaluate geotechnical, mine design, metallurgical characteristics and infrastructure needs with the goal of integrating FDNS into FDN's 2026 long-term mine plan.
FDN EAST
At FDN East, the exploration program continues to define and expand this new buried epithermal mineralized system located only 100m east of FDN (see Figure 2). Since its discovery, the drilling program advanced the understanding of the main geological controls which resulted in the delineation of new mineralized zones in the central part of the target.
The most recent drilling results confirmed the gold mineralization continuity and indicated areas for further expansion potential toward the north and south direction (Figure 2). Highlights that returned distinct mineralized levels from underground hole UGE-E-25-248 (7.12 g/t Au over 14.30m, 15.23 g/t Au over 5.75m and 6.85m @ 8.19 g/t Au) that indicate further step out drilling is warranted. Assay results from the drilling undertaken at FDN East are presented in Table 2. Currently, one surface drill rig and one underground rig are turning at FDN East.
TRANCALOMA COPPER-GOLD PORPHYRY SYSTEM AND ADDITIONAL NEAR MINE PORPHYRY POTENTIAL
Since the discovery of FDN, the occurrence of porphyry systems has been recognized around FDN with very limited exploration carried out (see Figure 3 and 4). In recent months, a systematic exploration program employing geochemical and geophysical surveys and geological mapping advanced on potential targets, and the initial drilling results confirmed the occurrence of copper-gold porphyry mineralization in distinct sectors.
At Trancaloma, located on the east border of Bonza Sur, the drilling program intercepted a wide copper-gold porphyry mineralization in the eastern portion of the target (see Figure 3 and 4). Drill hole TR 2024-220 intersected 0.41% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 1.51 g/t Ag, and 14.21 ppm Mo (0.50% CuEq 1) over 858.10m, including 0.54% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 1.94 g/t Ag, and 11.08 ppm Mo (0.65% CuEq 1) over 447.95m. This showed continuous mineralization from surface, with a wide inner higher-grade core that remains open in all directions. This drill hole ended in mineralization. The mineralization is associated with a strongly developed and zoned porphyry related hydrothermal alteration and veining. In the western portion of Trancaloma, additional drill holes have suggested copper-gold mineralization intercepted from surface that remains open at depth (see Figure 3). The most recent assay results from the drilling program undertaken at Trancaloma are presented in Table 3.
At the porphyry target Castillo, located along the west border of Bonza Sur, the drill hole CAS-2025-241 intercepted copper gold mineralization, potentially an outer hydrothermal alteration halo of another porphyry system in this sector, and covered by conglomerates of the Suarez Basin (see Figure 3 and 4). Additional drilling is planned at Castillo as well in additional untested sectors. Currently, three surface drill rigs are exploring Trancaloma.
BONZA SUR
At Bonza Sur, located south from FDN, the drilling advanced in the mineral envelope delineation. The Bonza Sur deposit currently extends over 2.6 kilometres along strike, is 150 metres wide, and reaches at least 500 metres deep (see Figures 1 and 4).
Over the last few months, the drilling program confirmed the deposit's continuity in the central area and defined the east limit, close to the contact with the Trancaloma porphyry. Furthermore, drill hole AMN-2025-245 (0.51 g/t Au over 135.90m, including 1.12 g/t Au over 47.20m) located in the south end of the deposit suggests further potential for expansion along this direction (see Figure 4). The most recent assay results from the drilling program undertaken at Bonza Sur are presented in Table 2.
Based on the drilling to date at Bonza Sur and the nearby Trancaloma target that was recently discovered, the decision has been made to delay the initial Mineral Resource Estimate for Bonza Sur. The exploration work completed to date indicates that the two systems are spatially related. Additional drilling is currently underway to define their limits and exploration potential. (see Figure 1 and 3). Currently, three rigs are currently turning at Bonza Sur.
2025 DRILLING PROGRAM EXPANSION
The 2025 drilling programs continue to yield exciting results and demonstrate the significant untapped exploration potential near the current FDN deposit. Based on these initial results, the Company will increase the near-mine exploration drilling program by 18,000 metres to a minimum of 83,000 metres to accelerate the definition of near-mine targets and the conversion drilling program from 15,000 metres to approximately 25,000 metres. A minimum of 108,000 metres of drilling are planned across the conversion and near-mine drilling programs for 2025. This revised program will now include up to sixteen drill rigs, ten surface rigs and six underground rigs. The total cost estimate of the 2025 near mine exploration program is $39 million while the 2025 conversion drilling program is included in sustaining capital. The 2025 regional exploration program remains unchanged at $8 million. The 2025 program represents the largest annual drill program ever completed on the land package that hosts the FDN deposit.

The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, Ep. 19: Green giants of the north

As the world races toward a low-carbon future, Canada is cultivating a new generation of corporate leaders in clean energy and sustainable technology. Among them, two standout companies— Brookfield Renewable Partners (TSX: and Ballard Power Systems (TSX:BLDP) —are not only shaping the country's green economy but also offering investors a compelling glimpse into the future of energy. This article is a journalistic opinion piece which has been written based on independent research. It is intended to inform investors and should not be taken as a recommendation or financial advice. Brookfield Renewable Partners: A clean energy powerhouse With headquarters in Toronto, Brookfield Renewable Partners is one of the largest publicly traded renewable power platforms in the world. With a diversified portfolio that spans hydroelectric, wind, solar, and energy storage assets across North and South America, Europe, and Asia, Brookfield is working to become a global force in clean energy. What sets Brookfield apart is its scale and stability. The company manages over 25,000 megawatts of installed capacity and has a robust development pipeline. Its long-term power purchase agreements provide predictable cash flows, making it a favorite among income-focused investors. Brookfield's strategy is clear: acquire undervalued renewable assets, optimize operations, and reinvest in high-growth markets. As governments and corporations commit to net-zero targets, Brookfield is well-positioned to benefit from the accelerating demand for clean power. Ballard Power Systems: Fuelling the hydrogen revolution While Brookfield builds the infrastructure, Ballard Power Systems is innovating the technology that could redefine how we power transportation and industry. Based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Ballard is a global business in proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, which converts hydrogen into electricity with zero emissions. Ballard's fuel cells are already being used in buses, trucks, trains, and marine vessels around the world. The company has forged partnerships with major players in Europe, China, and North America, betting that hydrogen will play a critical role in decarbonizing sectors that batteries can't easily reach. Though still in a growth phase and not yet profitable, Ballard represents the high-risk, high-reward end of the green tech spectrum. For investors with a long-term horizon, it offers exposure to a potentially transformative technology. A tale of two strategies Together, Brookfield and Ballard illustrate two complementary paths in Canada's green economy: Brookfield offers stability, dividends, and global scale —ideal for conservative investors seeking exposure to renewables. offers —ideal for conservative investors seeking exposure to renewables. Ballard offers innovation, growth potential, and technological leadership—appealing to those willing to ride the volatility of emerging tech. Both companies are united by a shared mission: to reduce global carbon emissions and build a more sustainable future. And both are proving that Canadian firms can lead on the world stage. Parting thoughts As climate change reshapes the global economy, investors are increasingly looking for companies that can thrive in a decarbonized world. Brookfield Renewable and Ballard Power are two Canadian stocks that not only meet that criteria—they're helping define it. Whether you're a cautious income investor or a bold tech enthusiast, these green giants of the North deserve a closer look. Here's a list of past episodes: Thanks for listening!

Hall of Famer to appear in ads that highlight the importance of gambling responsibly Click here to download and view campaign photos (credit: BetMGM) TORONTO, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- BetMGM Canada, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, today announced a multiyear partnership with five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter. The baseball legend will appear in commercials that highlight BetMGM's industry-leading suite of responsible gambling tools. "BetMGM's commitment to excellence and overall approach help them stand out as an innovator in their space," Jeter said. "They have worked hard to create a real community in their audience. I look forward to working with their team to build connections within their base of players and support the company's continued growth." The Hall of Fame shortstop's first responsible gambling advertisement will air in Canada and the United States later this year. Jeter joins Edmonton Oilers' star Connor McDavid in supporting BetMGM's ongoing responsible gambling campaign. Richard Taylor, Director of Responsible Gambling at BetMGM, said, "We are committed and proud to promote responsible gambling and grateful to now be doing so alongside one of baseball's most respected figures. As the landscape of legalized sports betting and online gambling continues to evolve, our focus remains on supporting players by providing tools and resources that encourage safe and responsible play." Over his storied 20-year career with the New York Yankees, Jeter earned a reputation as a game-changing athlete, revered for his consistency, clutch performances and leadership. "The Captain" collected more than 3,000 hits, won five Gold Gloves and was a 14-time All-Star while serving as the cornerstone of numerous championship teams. His legacy on the field, and his presence off it, continues to inspire generations of baseball fans. As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gambling remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM's mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to rely on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM's already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.

Dundee Resources, a subsidiary of Dundee Corporation (TSX:DC.A), acquired 1,454,553 common shares of Bulgold (TSXV:ZLTO) for C$0.05 per share representing total consideration of C$72,727.65 Bulgold is a junior gold miner exploring and developing projects in Central and Eastern Europe Bulgold stock has given back 64.29 per cent year-over-year Dundee Resources, a subsidiary of Dundee Corporation (TSX:DC.A), acquired 1,454,553 common shares of Bulgold (TSXV:ZLTO), a European junior gold miner, for C$0.05 per share representing total consideration of C$72,727.65. Dundee boasts a more than 30-year track record of investing in some of the global mining industry's most successful companies, including Kinross Gold, Reunion Gold and Osisko Mining. Its current portfolio is valued at C$4.61 per share (including cash), according to the company's July 2025 investor presentation, amounting to a more than 40 per cent discount to the price of C$2.76 per share as of July 11. Dundee's investment in Bulgold adds to its existing position in the junior gold miner – which stood at 3,253,967 shares and 833,333 warrants prior to the transaction – granting it a 9.58 per cent stake on an undiluted basis and an 11.09 per cent stake on a partially diluted basis in a portfolio that includes three epithermal gold projects, each of which offers tangible potential for high grades and strong metallurgy suggestive of economical resources. Here's a breakdown: The Lutila gold project in Slovakia is located only 5 kilometres north of the Kremnica deposit, which produced 1.6 million ounces of gold and houses a JORC-compliant resource estimated at 2.7 million ounces of gold. The Kutel gold project in Bulgaria features a 15-square-kilometre quartz-adularia-illite paleogeothermal system with an extensive gold-silver-arsenic-antimony surface geochemical soil anomaly. The Kostilkovo gold project, also in Bulgaria, houses a 10-square-kilometre quartz-adularia-illite paleogeothermal system backed by a gold surface geochemical soil response, where a precious metal accumulation zone yielded 87.68 grams per ton (g/t) of gold and 71.76 g/t gold. Bulgold ties its prospective properties and recently replenished cash position together with a management team with 28.3 per cent insider ownership, as well as direct involvement in the discovery and definition of 7.2 million ounces of gold and 1.4 million tons of copper within the Western Tethyan Belt – housing both Kutel and Kostilkovo – over the past 20 years, making a strong case for near-term exploration upside to capitalize on gold's recent ascent to record highs. Investors interested in furthering their due diligence on Bulgold can consult the company's June 2025 investor presentation. About Bulgold Bulgold is a junior gold miner exploring and developing projects in Central and Eastern Europe.
