New Found Gold Corp CEO Keith Boyle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of the company’s Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the AFZ Core zone at its Queensway Gold Project, located near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. The report marks the first comprehensive look at the economic viability of the project and highlights its potential to become a low-cost, high-margin gold producer. The PEA outlines a 15-year life-of-mine (LOM) with total gold production of 1.5 million ounces, averaging an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$1,256/oz and a total cash cost of US$1,085/oz. In a base-case scenario using a gold price of US$2,500/oz, the after-tax NPV5% is $743 million with an IRR of 56.3%. When modeled at a higher gold price of US$3,300/oz, the NPV increases dramatically to $1.45 billion, and IRR rises to an impressive 197%. The company is targeting initial gold production by Q3 2027, pending regulatory approvals. Phase 1 construction is expected to begin that same year. In preparation, New Found Gold is advancing an aggressive 70,000-metre drilling program aimed at upgrading and expanding its initial mineral resource estimate (MRE). Further work includes environmental baseline studies, engineering trade-offs, and project definition activities. Boyle also emphasized the expansion potential at Queensway, citing more than 110 km of strike length for future exploration and the opportunity for camp-scale development beyond the current resource area. This PEA positions New Found Gold to transition into a significant gold producer in Atlantic Canada, aligning with its strategic vision of building and operating a world-class gold mine in Newfoundland. #proactiveinvestors #newfoundgoldcorp #tsxv #nfg #nyseamerican #nfgc #gold #mining #NewFoundGold #KeithBoyle #MiningNews #GoldExploration #PEAResults #NewfoundlandMining #ResourceDevelopment #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors
