Fury intends to grow its multi-million-ounce gold platform into an acquisition target for the anticipated consolidation of the gold space in Canada.
Vancouver, BC, November 5, 2024 – TheNewsWire – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Fury Gold Mines. On October 24, 2024, Fury Gold Mines (TSX:FURY) (NYSE American:FURY) announced the completion of the 2024 exploration program at Committee Bay, located in the eastern Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, Canada.
Fury Gold Mines is focused in two regions in politically-stable Canada: Quebec (1.16 M&I ounces @ 5.64 g/t gold) [1.] and Nunavut (524,000 Indicated ounces @ 7.85 g/t gold) [2.] The company owns 51 million shares of Dolly Varden Silver valued at approximately C$65 million, giving Fury an enterprise value of C$33 million. Owned by institutions (12%) and Newmont (6%),
The Committee Bay property in Nunavut covers a 300-kilometre-long prospective greenstone belt hosting the high-grade Three Bluffs Gold Resource as well as numerous drilled and undrilled prospects.
Three targets are now drill ready:
- Three Bluffs Shear, where drilling in 2021 intercepted 13.93 g/t Au over 10 metres (m)
- Raven Shear where 7 rock samples have averaged 16.12 g/t gold; and
- Burro West where a 300 by 300 m discrete >90th percentile gold in till anomaly has been defined with a peak value of 50 ppb gold.
“Coming from Boston, I was able to be in and out of Committee Bay within a day,” Tim Clark, CEO of Fury Gold told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “The final leg of the trip is a quick one-hour flight north from Baker Lake, a truly beautiful area with stunning landscapes.”
“As we were flying over the tundra this summer, I overheard the pilot say, ‘I’m glad we’re going to Committee Bay, you have the best camp in the whole area. The location and crew are excellent, and the infrastructure is impressive.’”
“Investors need to understand the scale of the Committee Bay project and the infrastructure that is already in place on the property,” continued Clark. “There is a hanger full of major equipment, three Fury-owned drill rigs, a heated drill water system, a 100-person camp, and reserves of fuel on site. It appears that the previous operators were setting up a development company in Nunavut, not an exploration company.”
“Our goal is to continue to advance our targeting to show the considerable potential for new discoveries on the property,” stated Clark in the October 24, 2024 press release. “During my recent site visit, I was struck not only by the vast scale and geological potential of the property but also by the impressive infrastructure already in place, the result of over C$160 million in prior investment by previous operators.”
“We are looking at various opportunities to further advance the Committee Bay project as we believe it has the potential to host a major gold discovery in Nunavut with significant upside potential for investors.”
“We have a high-grade gold resource with Three Bluffs that remains open for expansion,” stated Bryan Atkinson, SVP Exploration for Fury. “There are a multitude of unsourced gold in till anomalies ripe for follow-up work. The scale and the overall potential of Committee Bay make it an explorer’s dream.”

“One could argue that Committee Bay is a substantial enough land package that it could stand alone as its own company,” Clark told GSN. “However, our multiple assets and strong financial position allow for greater efficiencies.”
“In a bull market, you want to take big swings on high-grade assets in good mining jurisdictions,” added Clark. “The project in Nunavut ticks all the boxes.”
Nunavut’s industrial gross domestic product (GDP) grew 3.4% in 2023, the best GDP growth in Canada.
“Mining's share of Nunavut's GDP continues to expand,” reported the Northern News Service (NNSL) “reaching a record high 46.7% in 2023, up significantly from 28.5% in 2019. That represented $1.37 billion for the economy last year, a slight increase from $1.33 billion in 2022.”
There are numerous mines operating in Nunavut, including Agnico Eagle’s Meliadine Mine that has gold reserves of 3.46 million ounces. 2024 production guidance is 370,000 ounces at a projected cash cost of $960/ounce of gold.
On September 15, 2024 Tim Clark spoke with Crux Investor about the junior gold space and Fury’s portfolio of projects in mining-friendly Canadian jurisdictions,
“I'm a capital markets guy,” Clark told Crux Investor. “We like raising flow-through money. If we raise money for C$1, we're getting about C$1.60, because of Canadian tax benefits. That leaves hard dollars to pay for other things, like exploring, drilling or buying assets. I am sensitive to diluting the company. Flow-through shares is one way to minimize that.”
“Typically, you incur about US$100/ounce in exploration costs to find gold,” continued Clark. “We're executing our programs for US$40/ounce. Our current market cap and resources indicate that our gold-in-the-ground is valued at about C$5.75/ounce.”
