Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2024) - New Destiny Mining Corp. (TSXV: NED), (the "Company" or "NED") provides a further update on its 2024 drilling program at the Treasure Mountain project, near Princeton, BC.

The red dashed line shows the projection of the Jim Kelly vein, and the blue dashed arrow shows the orientation of the drill hole. The inset photo shows the Jim Kelly vein sampled from the historic workings that consists of coarse pyrite within a quartz vein (vein width 8-10 cm).

The drill rig has moved to the Jim Kelly target area. This target was chosen as previous work had identified a set of veins that have historically been mined. Jim Kelly is a gold vein target where a 2018 grab sample yielded 11.3 g/t gold. Hole TMN24-08 aimed to test the extension of this vein along strike to the north (see map above).

Hole TMN24-08 intersected a 12.96 meter interval of a highly silicified zone with disseminated pyrite (see yellow boxes on photo below from 70.24 to 83.2 meters including some intervals of cross-cutting andesitic dikes. The zone is interpreted as an expression of the mineralization found at the Jim Kelly workings, extending 60 meters towards the north.
Additionally, hole 8 also intersected from 66.07 to 68.77 m a zone with disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite with net textured sulfides in a silicified mafic intrusion (see photo below).
The next hole will test the extension of the Jim Kelly vein at depth.

Forward-Looking Information
This news release includes certain statements that constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities law, including without limitation, the Company's information and statements regarding or inferring the future business, operations, financial performance, prospects, and other plans, intentions, expectations, estimates, and beliefs of the Company. Such statements include statements regarding the completion of the proposed transactions. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved), and variations of such words, and similar expressions are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon several factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements express or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of gold and other metals, anticipated costs and the ability to achieve goals, and the Company will be able to obtain required licenses and permits. While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks including that resource exploration and development is a speculative business; that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous; that the Company may not be able to raise additional funds when necessary; fluctuating prices of metals; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations; operating hazards and risks; and competition. There can be no assurance that economic resources will be discovered or developed. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, the loss of key directors, employees, advisors or consultants, equipment failures, litigation, competition, fees charged by service providers and failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, accordingly are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such statements. The forward-looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities legislation.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
