Jeff Swinoga, CEO of Exploits Discovery, discusses the company’s rapid transformation and major new acquisitions during The Mining Investment Event 2025. With assets across Newfoundland, Ontario, and Quebec, Exploits is evolving into a multi-jurisdictional explorer with a clear roadmap to resource expansion.
🔹 Major Developments in Just 30 Days:
• Acquired three Quebec properties — Benoit, Wilson, and Fenton — totaling ~340,000 oz historic gold
• Optioned the Hawkins Project in Ontario with ~228,000 oz historic gold and huge upside potential
• Combined with existing Newfoundland assets, Exploits now controls ~700,000 oz of historic gold resources
🔹 Strategic Roadmap:
• Goal: 1M+ ounces in Ontario and 1M+ ounces in Quebec
• Ontario: Hawkins Project — near-surface, Hemlo-style gold system across a 60 km trend
• Quebec: Golden chimney-style mineralization with intercepts of 25 g/t gold over 3m
• $4M cash on hand | Market cap ~$8–9M | Backed by Eric Sprott (14% ownership)
• Drill programs set for fall in both Ontario & Quebec following permitting
🔹 Why This Matters:
• Exploits now holds three top-tier Canadian gold jurisdictions
• Option structures allow flexible capital allocation and resource growth
• Backed by capital, historical spend, and extensive technical groundwork
• Québec government & local funds are showing strong support
🗣️ “If you’d talked to us a month ago, we were just focused on Newfoundland. Now we’ve added nearly 700,000 oz and have projects in all three major jurisdictions. We’re building toward a million ounces — twice.”

✅ New gold acquisitions in Quebec and Ontario with significant historical resources
💰 Funded exploration with $4M treasury and $10M in legacy exploration spend
