Freeman Gold Corp. (CSE: FMAN), (OTCQB: FMANF) is stepping up activity at the Lemhi Gold Project, Idaho where initial drilling at Lemhi commenced at the newly identified Beauty Zone during Q4 2021.
Three diamond drill holes (FG21-001 to 003) totalling 328 m were completed and have now been sent to the laboratory for analysis.
After completing drilling at the Beauty Zone, the diamond drill was moved to the Lemhi Gold Deposit. Thus far three drill holes totalling 797 m as part of the designed Phase 2 drill programme have been completed. All three drill holes were step outs to the west of the deposit (FG21-004, 005 and FG22-001 – 85m step out, 93m step out, and 17m step out respectively). Continuation of Phase 2 drilling is currently underway.
Freeman has signed a second diamond drilling contract with Major Drilling America, Inc. to provide two additional coring rigs in Q1 2022. This will bring the total operating rigs during Q1 to three to accelerate the resource expansion drill program and increase the total planned meterage to over 10,000 m.
All drill core samples will be sent to ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC, an independent and fully accredited laboratory in Canada for analysis for gold by Fire Assay and multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (select holes). Freeman has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control programme where at least 10% duplicates, blanks and standards are inserted into each sample shipment.
The Lemhi Project comprises 30 sq. km of highly prospective land. The project hosts a near surface, shallow, high grade oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate is comprised of 749,800 oz gold at 1.02 grams per tonne in 22.94 million tonnes (Indicated) and 250,300 oz Au at 1.01 g/t Au in 7.83 million tonnes (Inferred).
