Reading Time: 9 minutes

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 29, 2023) – Discovery-Corp Enterprises Inc. (TSXV: DCY) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) and Scramble Resources Corp. (“Scramble”) announce encouraging results from the confirmation drill program completed at the NewFind Gold Project (“NewFind”). The 500 metre (m) Clifford target was confirmed to host high grade gold mineralisation within a multi-metre anomalous gold-bearing halo associated with increasing silica, sericite and disseminated sulphide mineral content. The Clifford target was evaluated across three drill fences roughly spaced 250 m apart and evaluated to an average depth of approximately 50-60 m below surface; the target is open along strike and down dip.Highlights:Mid confirmation drill fence hole 21LNDD005 intersected two anomalous structures, one 2.95 m anomalous interval with 0.48 m of 57.75 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) gold and another 3.60 m interval hosting 1.00 m of 21.70 g/t gold.South confirmation drill fence hole 21LNDD009 intersected a 5.15 m anomalous gold interval hosting a high-grade core of 0.78 m at 31.40 g/t gold.Clifford target confirmed to be gold bearing with strong grades within lower grade halo located on the inferred northeastern sheared fold limb with the southwestern sheared fold limb exhibiting a yet-to-be-evaluated 2,000 m gold-in-soil anomaly.”We are excited to get some subsurface geological feedback confirming our initial ideas on the Clifford structure,” commented Paul Koros, President and CFO of Scramble. He further stated, “The team looks forward to being able to expand our exploration thesis at Clifford and across the rest of the target pipeline of priority targets at the NewFind Gold Project.” Discovery’s CFO Iain Brown commented, “We note that these successful results support our initial internal review of the promise of the NewFind Gold Project that the Scramble team identified as a significant exploration area with multiple high quality, high potential targets.” Exploration SummaryThe initial drill program on the NewFind Gold Project was a confirmation or due-diligence-type program on the most advanced target, the historic Mt Clifford Mine, a 500 m long section of the Clifford Structure. This work was undertaken to determine the style(s) and tenure of mineralization that could be expected within large scale gold-in-soil anomalies on major structures in the area associated with mapped folds. Previous work at Clifford included small scale underground mining, and rotary air blast (RAB) and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. As this is a structurally controlled gold target, diamond drilling (DD) was used to better identify lithology, alteration, structure, and mineralization styles controlling the values in the historical results. The confirmation drill program evaluated three fences across the Clifford Target each separated by approximately 250 m. The program, designed to test and step-out from select historical drillhole locations (FIGURE 1), was successful in its objective; returning consistent, and in some cases, better results than previous drilling (TABLE 1), and providing confidence in continuity of mineralization. Additional drilling will be required to follow-up the potential extent of the Clifford Target mineralization, as well as drill testing of the full pipeline of targets that were developed, based on thorough geological investigation using field mapping, geophysical surveys and geochemical surveys across the core area of the tenements. The Clifford Mid confirmation drill fence consisted of three holes, 21LNDD005-006, and 010 (FIGURE 2). All holes cut a strongly deformed, folded and sheared, package of mixed sedimentary units and ultramafic rocks. Elevated gold values (up to 57.75g/t Au) are associated with quartz- carbonate veined, carbonate- albite- silica- sericite altered volcaniclastics interfolded with pyritic black shales within or adjacent to parasitic fold hinges in high strain zones. In this section, an ~3.5 m interval of disseminated sulphide (pyrite- arsenopyrite- pyrrhotite) bearing porphyry cut by late extensional quartz-carbonate veining yielded a section grading 3.60 g/t Au. 21LNDD005 confirmed the high-grade interval in WILRC9712 and identifies continuity of two other zones in historic drill hole RC055. 21LNDD006 confirmed the intervals within historic hole RC055 and 21LNDD010 stepped approximately 40 m down dip and intercepted the target zone and the upper sections of the drill hole indicate potential for a new mineralized zone developing.The Clifford South confirmation drill section consisted of three holes, 21LNDD007-009 (FIGURE 3), all cutting the corridor of strongly deformed mixed sedimentary and ultramafic rock units. As with the other sections, the best grades are associated with quartz-carbonate veining and disseminated sulphides within an alteration zone of in silica- carbonate- sericite- (±albite). More specifically the best intervals are closely associated with the high strain zones exhibiting inferred mylonitic breccia and parasitic fold hinges. Hole 21LNDD008 confirmed the mineralization in historical hole WILRC9709; however, the diamond drilling indicates the mineralized zones are more discreet. Hole 21LNDD009, an approximate 25 m undercut of 21LNDD008, intercepts a wider section of anomalous gold bearing stratigraphy; the mineralization appears to be down dip and trending to the southeast.The Clifford North confirmation drill section (FIGURE 4) consisted of four drill holes, 21LNDD001 – 004. Three of four holes intersected the structural zone of interest. Elevated gold values appear to be associated with very fine-grained disseminated pyrite and arsenian pyrite within strong silica- sericite- carbonate altered and stockwork veined folded volcaniclastic sedimentary sequence with local sheared quartz-carbonate veining. This alteration and mineralization appears to be spatially associated with porphyritic intrusive units and associated with folds within higher strain portions of the structural corridor. Transaction StatusAs previously announced, Discovery and Scramble entered into an arrangement agreement dated October 13, 2022 with respect to a proposed reverse takeover (the “Transaction”) of Discovery by Scramble, which is intended to constitute a reverse takeover of Discovery under the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).As described in the news release dated April 3, 2023, Discovery has submitted a draft joint management information circular and related initial documentation to the TSXV for approval in connection with the Transaction. The Transaction remains subject to the ongoing review and approval of the TSXV, which will include a concurrent financing, the details of which are in the process of being arranged. The parties to the Transaction continue to work diligently towards receiving conditional approval of the Transaction from the TSXV and will continue to provide further details in respect of the Transaction in due course by way of news release. Pursuant to the rules and policies of the TSXV, Discovery’s shares will remain halted from trading.The dates of the annual and special meetings of each of Scramble and Discovery will be announced once the Transaction has received conditional approval from the TSXV. For additional information relating to Discovery, Scramble, the resulting issuer and the Transaction, please see the news release dated October 13, 2022 under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.About the NewFind Gold ProjectThe NewFind Project was first identified by Scramble in late 2019 after reviewing numerous projects across a number of jurisdictions. Recognition of significant gold bearing structures with a series of multi-million ounce deposits already in production along with a number of historical small gold mines along the same corridor. Scramble has 100% ownership interest in four tenements comprising 379 hectares (ha), and has the right to 100% interest in two additional land packages of 1078 ha, that all together comprise the 1,456 ha NewFind Gold Project. NewFind lies along the same structural corridor as, and between two of the top 20 gold deposits in Australia. In a December 2022 property visit Paul Koros remarked, “I am encouraged by how well-endowed the region is. Driving the 275 km north from the mining centre of Kalgoorlie, you can see mine after mine not far from the hard-surfaced well-travelled highway. Walking on our property, repeated quartz blowouts can be seen at regular intervals. I was also struck by the many historical workings across the NewFind Gold Project, where the old-timers followed high grade mineralization, but were stopped by the water table at very shallow levels. We fully expect the structurally controlled mineralization to extend below the water table.”Technical DisclosureThe scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Darren Lindsay, P.Geo., a “qualified person” within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).
