An Emerging District-Scale Gold Camp in Suriname
About Founders Metals TSX.V: FDR
Founders Metals is a Canadian-based gold exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold District in southeastern Suriname. The Company controls a 102,360-hectare contiguous land package in the Guiana Shield and is the most advanced gold explorer in Suriname, now holding the largest uninterrupted package of highly prospective greenstone belt geology in the Guiana Shield
Founders is systematically advancing district-scale exploration across its consolidated land position, anchored by the Antino Gold Project, where drilling has delivered several new discoveries over the past 18 months. Ongoing work programs include diamond drilling, high-resolution airborne geophysics, regional geochemical sampling, and data compilation across the broader district.
The Company is committed to responsible exploration, strong community engagement, and disciplined capital allocation, with a clear focus on advancing its most prospective targets while delivering long-term shareholder value.
District Scale Discovery Potential
The Antino Gold District demonstrates many of the characteristics commonly associated with large gold systems, offering significant scale and district wide exploration potential across the Company’s 102,360 ha contiguous land package. Recent exploration success supports the view that Antino is emerging as a large, district-scale gold system.
Stable Mining Jurisdiction
Suriname is a safe, stable jurisdiction with a long-standing respect for mining, a cornerstone of its economy and culture. Gold exploration remains a key driver of growth, supported by an evolving regulatory framework that encourages investment. This strong foundation positions Suriname as an attractive and secure destination for long-term exploration and development.
District-Scale Land Position
Founders Metals has assembled a 102,360-hectare contiguous land position in southeastern Suriname, consolidating a large, highly prospective section of Guiana Shield greenstone belt geology. The Company’s landholding spans an entire emerging gold district and supports a pipeline-style exploration approach, with multiple priority target areas defined and significant upside remaining across under-explored terrain.
Strong Shareholder Base
Founders Metals is backed by a strong shareholder base anchored by leading institutional investors and strategic partners, including B2Gold and Gold Fields.

Shear ZoneThe Antino Gold District
Located approximately 270 kilometres southeast of Paramaribo in the heart of the Guiana Shield, the Antino Gold District forms the core of Founders Metals’ consolidated land position in southeastern Suriname. The district encompasses shear zone– and intrusion-hosted orogenic gold systems developed within highly prospective greenstone belt geology and major regional structures.
Founders is advancing Antino through a systematic, district-scale exploration strategy, integrating diamond drilling, geophysics, geochemical sampling, and geological modeling to expand the footprint of known mineralization and evaluate multiple priority target areas across the broader district. The Company is advancing a fully funded 70,000 metre 2026 drill program.
