New Found Gold (TSXV:NFG) - Pitch Perfect - February 2026

Interview with Keith Boyle, Director & CEO of New Found Gold Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/ne... Recording date: 29th January 2026 New Found Gold, led by CEO Keith Boyle, has rapidly transformed from an exploration company into an emerging gold producer in Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador region. Operating in a top-10 mining jurisdiction according to the Fraser Institute, the company is advancing its flagship Queensway gold project while recently acquiring the Hammerdown Gold Mine, Pine Cove Mill, and Nugget Pond facility. The company's strategic vision centers on a phased development approach. Queensway represents a 15-year mine life project targeting 1.5 million ounces of production with all-in sustaining costs of $1,256 per ounce. The initial phase requires modest capital expenditure of $155 million for a 700-ton-per-day operation processing high-grade 9.6 g/t material. Subsequent phases will scale operations to 7,000 tons daily, producing 172,000 ounces annually at under $1,100 per ounce all-in sustaining costs. New Found Gold strengthened its financial position significantly in 2025, raising over $83 million and maintaining $87 million in treasury. The company enjoys strong backing from Eric Sprott, whose nearly 20% stake represents his second-largest investment, alongside robust institutional support. With a market capitalization around $1.5-1.6 billion and 367 million shares fully diluted, the company demonstrates solid market confidence. Leadership has been completely refreshed, with an experienced board appointed in December 2024 including chair Paul Huet and former Newfoundland Premier Dr. Andrew Furey. The management team brings deep mining development expertise, with CEO Keith Boyle contributing 40 years of mining engineering experience across eight development projects. The Hammerdown acquisition, closed in November, positions the company to produce 100,000 ounces in its first four years, growing to over 200,000 ounces thereafter when combined with Queensway production. This production in a strong gold price environment provides cash flow to support continued development while the company pursues project financing for Queensway's expansion.
