Phase 1 drilling was focussed on expanding resources along high-grade shoots and adding continuity to the existing resource outside of the preliminary economic assessment identified stopes. A total of 21 holes (approximately 12,700 metres (“m”)) was completed during Phase 1 drilling, with results received for 11,440 m. Complete assay results have been received from 18 holes as well as partial results from a 19th hole. Six holes returned significant results, which are highlighted in Table 1 and Figure 1. The key highlight from this batch of results was infill drill hole 26EC‑101, which targeted an inferred portion of the Eau Claire mineral resource. The hole intersected 12.50 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 7.02 m, approximately 45 m down‑plunge from previously reported drill hole 26EC‑099 (see news release dated March 17, 2026), which is **located outside the current Eau Claire block model** (Figure 2), demonstrating strong grade continuity and resource growth potential (Figure 3). In addition, drill hole 26EC‑097, which also targeted an inferred portion of the Eau Claire resource, intersected 3.92 g/t gold over 6.92 m, further supporting the potential for resource conversion (Figure 4). “Drilling at Eau Claire continues to reinforce resource continuity and demonstrate resource growth potential outside of the current block model between resource blocks in shallow previously untested areas,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold Mines. “Phase 2 drilling will continue to de-risk and expand Eau Claire, as we focus on connecting the current mineral resource outside of the PEA mineable portion to bring more of the existing gold ounces into a future development scenario, unlocking additional value for shareholders.” _ _ _Figure 1: Long section of the Eau Claire Deposit looking north showing the locations of the completed and current drill holes in relation to the block model._ _Table 1: Drill Highlights to date_ **Hole ID** **From** **To** **Drilled Thickness (m)** **True Thickness (m)** **Au (g/t)** **Purpose** **25EC-094** 595.5 597.0 1.5 1.50 2.14 Expansion 643.0 644.0 1.0 1.00 4.97 647.0 648.5 1.5 1.50 2.12 **25EC-096** 573.0 576.0 3.0 2.97 2.52 Expansion 616.0 617.0 1.0 0.99 2.30 **25EC-097** **24.0** **25.5** **1.5** **1.48** **10.15** Infill 58.0 59.0 1.0 0.99 2.49 414.0 416.0 2.0 1.98 5.71 **454.5** **461.5** **7.0** **6.92** **3.92** **26EC-098** 267.0 268.5 1.5 1.46 2.12 Expansion 293.5 294.5 1.0 0.97 3.33 535.0 536.0 1.0 0.98 9.01 **550.0** **551.5** **1.5** **1.47** **17.20** 617.5 619.0 1.5 1.48 1.50 663.5 665.0 1.5 1.48 3.68 **26EC-100** 618.0 622.0 4.0 3.98 1.57 Expansion **625.0** **626.0** **1.0** **0.99** **10.75** 638.0 639.0 1.0 0.99 3.76 **25EC-101\*** 57.0 58.5 1.5 1.32 3.04 Infill 420.0 421.0 1.0 0.93 5.49 459.0 460.0 1.0 0.93 3.52 **468.0** **475.5** **7.5** **7.02** **12.50** 478.5 480.5 2.0 1.87 4.23 Intercepts were calculated using Au grade\*thickness no less than 2g/t\*m with grade no less than 1g/t, maximum consecutive dilution 2m.

The fully financed Phase 2 program is anticipated to comprise an additional 15,000 to 25,000 m of drilling and is expected to continue through the spring and summer of 2026. **Sampling and Assaying Disclosure** Analytical samples for the Drill Program were taken by sawing HQ diameter core into equal halves on site with one half sent to ALS Chemex in Val D’or, Quebec, Canada for preparation and analysis. All samples were assayed using a 50 g nominal weight fire with assay atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24) and multi-element four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61). Where Au-AA24 results were greater than 10 ppm by Au-AA24 were re-assayed with 50 g nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). QA/QC programs using internal standard samples and blanks, field and lab duplicates, and lab standards and blanks indicate good overall accuracy and precision.
