Announcement summary: | VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – January 17, 2023 – Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN, OTCQX: FMANF, FSE: 3WU) (“Freeman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results for an additional 15 diamond drill holes from the Company’s 12,000m Phase II resource expansion and infill drill program at its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Deposit (“Lemhi”), Idaho, USA. These drill holes were designed to test mineralization on strike to the south and southwest of the known deposit (expansion and infill holes) to improve the resource confidence in zones with historical drill holes and expand mineralization (Figure 1 and Table 1). The infill and expansion holes represent drilling up to 350 metres to the south and southwest of previous drilling by Freeman where mineralization was open and untested by drilling. Many of these areas are modelled as unmineralized due to lack of drilling in the initial maiden mineral resource estimate (“MRE”). The current MRE comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.94 million tonnes at 1.02 g/t Au for 749,800 oz of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 7.68 million tonnes at 1.01 g/t Au for 250,300 oz of gold (refer to press release dated July 8, 2021). The MRE covers a surface area of 400 by 500 metres and extends down to a depth of 180 metres below surface. The resource expansion holes that form the bulk of the current Phase II drill program are designed to extend this current resource both along strike and at depth. Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman, commented, “We have very encouraging and more positive results from the latest assays from the recent drilling. The results to date clearly show gold mineralization is now known to extend east, west and south at Lehmi. The Lemhi gold deposit is expanding in all directions and we are confident that it will positively impact the updated Mineral Resource which will be underway once all assays have been received. |
