Fury Advances Metallurgical Testwork Program at the Eau Claire Gold Project in Quebec

TORONTO, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX and NYSE American: FURY) (“Fury” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has commenced additional metallurgical testwork, to advance the Company’s 100% held Eau Claire gold project (“Eau Claire” or the “Project”) further towards feasibility.

Fury has engaged SGS Canada Inc. (SGS) to conduct a comprehensive metallurgical testwork program in support of Eau Claire feasibility work following on previous testwork referred to in the Project’s Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) (see news release dated September 2, 2025). The program will support feasibility and development planning for the Project, located in the Eeyou-Istchee/James Bay region of Quebec.

The program, which will have an approximate duration of three months, is being carried out to better understand the characteristics of the ore, which will allow Fury the option to build a mill or have the ore toll milled. Testwork will complement the initial metallurgical program completed for the PEA, with the objective of demonstrating repeatability of performance and providing missing information that is required at the pre feasibility level. The program is expected to provide the data required to:

• Optimize ore processing: Determine comminution parameters (including grinding work index), evaluate grind size, and assess beneficiation flowsheets (gravity, flotation, and leaching) to maximize gold recovery.
• Support tailings management: Characterize tailings with respect to environmental performance, solid-liquid separation, rheology, and paste backfill suitability.
• Confirm environmental compliance: Conduct detailed environmental testing to support adherence to applicable regulatory requirements.
  
  

Results will also provide a strong foundation for developing a complete process flowsheet supported by detailed design criteria, enabling completion of mass and water balances as well as equipment sizing required for process plant layout and design.

“This metallurgical program will play an important role in our feasibility work, as we continue to advance the Eau Claire project towards a pathway to production. By focusing on optimizing ore processing and confirming a robust process flowsheet, we continue to enhance project economics and demonstrate the strong value opportunity for investors,” commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury.
