Freeman Gold Unveils Significant Drill Results
Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN, OTCQB: FMANF) has recently shared exciting outcomes from its expanded drilling initiative, which aims to enhance the Lemhi Gold Project. The results of the three drill holes from the southern segment of their 2025 drilling program indicate potential for substantial gold deposits, further establishing Freeman's commitment to advancing this promising site.
Key Highlights from the Drill Results
Impressive Gold Intercepts
The drill hole FG25-001DD revealed an extraordinary intercept of 3.1 grams of gold per tonne over 8.0 meters. This interval is part of a larger segment that shows an average of 0.37 grams of gold per tonne over an impressive 98.4 meters. Similarly, drill hole FG25-002DD showcased notable mineralization beginning at the surface, featuring additional intervals of 1.3 grams per tonne across 4 meters, 1.37 grams over 2.14 meters, and 1.6 grams over 7.6 meters, contributing to an overall reading of 0.3 grams over 178.9 meters.
Continued Exploration and Development Plans
These drilling activities are integral to Freeman's strategy of transforming inferred resources into measured or indicated categories, utilizing approximately 1,820 meters across 23 drill holes. With each drill result, the Company gathers valuable insights that will significantly aid in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) expected to be part of the forthcoming Lemhi Feasibility Study.
Company's Projects and Future Outlook
Bassam Moubarak, CEO of Freeman Gold Corp., remarked on the significance of the 3,328-meter feasibility study drilling endeavor. This initiative's primary goal is to convert in-pit gold resources into measured and indicated categories while simultaneously testing the extent of gold mineralization beyond existing boundaries. The current results prove that there are indeed promising signs of gold continuing beyond these borders, both to the south and north.
Understanding the Lemhi Gold Project
The Lemhi Gold Project encompasses 30 square kilometers of highly prospective land, where an extensive, near-surface oxide gold resource exists. The project's most recent resource estimate, compliant with the National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101), reported approximately 988,100 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.0 grams per tonne, distributed across 30.02 million tonnes, comprising both measured and indicated resources.
Advanced Economic Assessments
Freeman Gold's recent economic assessments demonstrate strong viability for its operations. According to the latest analyses, the project reveals an after-tax net present value (5%) of $329 million with an internal rate of return of 28.2%. These forecasts indicate consistent annual gold production, underscoring the project’s economic potential for long-term profitability.
Quality Assurance in Drilling
All drilling samples are sent to reputable laboratories for analysis, ensuring that results are reliable and conform to high standards. Freeman Gold maintain rigorous quality control measures, including the inclusion of duplicates and standards in their sample shipments to uphold the integrity of their findings.
