ADVANCING THE

HIGH-GRADE QUEENSWAY GOLD PROJECT

MAY 2024

TSX-V: NFG | NYSE-A: NFGC

DISCLAIMER

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation (the "Forward-looking Statements"), including with respect to the Company's plans, including exploration and drill programs at the Company's Queensway Project in Newfoundland, to assay results from this program, interpretation of results from the drilling program including assay results, the discovery of zones of high-grade gold mineralization, follow-upstep-out drilling, funding of the drilling program, and the merits of the Queensway Project. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts; they are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "aims," "potential," "goal," "objective," "prospective," and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "can," "could" or "should" occur, or are those statements, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made and they involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Consequently, there can be no assurances that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include uncertainties related to fluctuations in gold and other commodity prices, uncertainties inherent in the exploration of mineral properties, risks associated with the interpretation of assay results and the drilling program, and the impact and progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and other risk factors set forth in the Company's final prospectus dated July 27, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors". The reader is urged to refer to the Company's prospectus and other filings, publicly available through the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects. Except to the extent required by applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements if management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them or assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any Forward-looking Statement. Any Forward-looking Statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Information of a scientific nature related to the Queensway Project included in this presentation is based on the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Queensway Project, Newfoundland, Canada, dated February 15, 2023, with an effective date of January 24, 2023 (the "Queensway Report"), prepared by D. Roy Eccles, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. of Apex Geoscience Ltd. who is an independent qualified person under NI 43-101.

Greg Matheson, P.Geo., the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation. Mr. Matheson has verified the data disclosed herein, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the technical information contained herein.

Composite intervals reported carry a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2m with a maximum of 4m consecutive dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au. Grades have not been capped in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/ fire assay or standard 30-gramfire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia or by 450g photon assay or entire sample photon assay at MSA in Val-d'Or, Quebec. Metallic screen assay method or entire sample photon assay is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices. Standards and blanks account for a minimum of 10% of the samples in addition to the laboratory's internal quality assurance programs. New Found's quality control program also includes submission of the second half of the core for approximately 5% of the drilled intervals. In addition, approximately 1% of sample pulps for mineralized samples are submitted for re-analysis to a second ISO-accredited laboratory for check assays. The Company does not recognize any factors of drilling, sampling or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed. The assay data disclosed in this news release have been verified by the Company's Qualified Person against the original assay certificates. The Company notes that it has not completed any economic evaluations of its Queensway Project and that the Queensway Project does not have any resources or reserves. While the information contained in this presentation is believed to be accurate, New Found Gold expressly disclaims any and all liability for any losses, claims or damages of whatsoever kind based upon the information contained in, or omissions from, this presentation or any oral communication transmitted in connection therewith. In addition, none of the statements contained in this presentation are intended to be, nor shall be deemed to be, representations or warranties of the Company. Where the information is from third-party sources, the information is from sources believed to be reliable, but the Company has not independently verified any of such information contained herein.

This presentation is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, a prospectus, an offering memorandum, an advertisement or a public offering of securities. Under no circumstances should the information contained herein be considered an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
