This morning, Exploits Discovery Corp.

The Phase 1 program successfully confirmed high-grade gold at surface and resampled historic core which has helped identify multiple drill-ready targets. The Fenton project hosts a historical mineral resource of 64Koz with substantial drilling and other exploratory work performed since then. The Company is planning a 3,000-5,000m drill program which is expected to being in mid-January (more detail on page 2).
We remind readers that since liquidating its Newfoundland assets, Exploits has shifted its focus exclusively to its Ontario and Quebec assets, which together host 680Koz of historical gold resources with substantial expansion potential. The Company is well-funded to advance exploration across these projects. We are maintaining our BUY rating and increasing our target price to $0.15/share (previously $0.10/share) on Exploits Discovery Corp.
