Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 29, 2026) – New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV: NFG) (NYSE American: NFGC) (“New Found Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval to list its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX“) and graduate from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“). Final approval of the listing is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX, including receipt of all required documentation on or before September 14, 2026.
“Conditional approval to list on the TSX marks an important corporate milestone,” stated Keith Boyle, CEO of New Found Gold. “As we move toward commercial production at our Hammerdown Gold Project and continue to advance our fully funded Phase 1 development at our flagship Queensway Gold Project, we believe this graduation will provide greater visibility, liquidity and an expanded capital markets presence, supporting our objective of building a leading Canadian gold mining company as we continue to create value for New Found Gold shareholders.”
The stock symbol “NFGC” has been reserved for use by the Company upon listing on the TSX, to align with its stock symbol on the NYSE American LLC. The Company will issue a press release once the TSX confirms the date on which trading of New Found Gold’s common shares under the stock symbol “NFGC” is expected to commence on the TSX.
Concurrently with the graduation to the TSX, the Company’s common shares will be delisted from the TSXV. Shareholders are not required to exchange their share certificates or take any other action in connection with the TSX listing, as there will be no change in the CUSIP for the common shares.
