FREEGOLD INTERSECTS 72.3 M GRADING 2.3 G/T AU AT GOLDEN SUMMIT

 

 

 

 

 

Additional Highlights:

 

GS2309 – 28.9g/t Au over 2.1m (431.9m – 434m) and 15.7 g/t Au over 3.1 M ( 486.5m – 489.6m) within 0.75 g/t Au over 497.1m ( 62.5m – 559.6m)
GS2310 – 11.75 g/t Au over 1.4 M at (221.3m – 222.7m)
GS2311 – 25.7 g/t Au over 1.0 M (476.7m – 477.7m)

 

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) is continuing its success on the Golden Summit Project as two drill rigs continue to operate. A total of 30 holes have been completed since March. The completed holes are mainly in the west north-west area of the Dolphin Zone, with a focus on expanding mineralization to the north and reducing the strip ratio. Freegold is testing further expansion potential to the west with one drill operating on the western extension. Currently, one rig is also testing the Saddle Zone which is located 4 km to the east of the Dolphin/Cleary Zone. Several reconnaissance holes will be drilled to assess the historic veins along with their coinciding gold geochemistry to determine their potential to host additional resources.

The width refers to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.­­­­­­­­

 

 

Drilling continues to expand upon the broad higher-grade zone found within the Cleary Hill Vein swarm which dips southward and plunges towards the Dolphin intrusive, and which results in a significant amount of higher-grade mineralization at depth. The goal of holes GS 2308 – GS 2311, located in the northern part of the Dolphin area, is to improve the strip ratio by identifying mineralization closer to the surface and defining even more high-grade mineralization. GS2309, was successful in demonstrating the potential for higher grade updip (towards the north) intersecting several high-grade intercepts within a broader interval.

 

An additional hole was drilled from the same pad as GS2309. Hole GS2314 was drilled to west and the results are pending. Furthermore, Freegold’s previous westerly hole (GS2241 – which intersected 88.7m grading 1.43 g/t) combined with strong gold in soil geochemistry have acted as further evidence to support the idea that there remains significant expansion potential to the west.

 

Additional assays results are pending and will be reported once received. See plan map for hole locations.

The current program is designed to test the boundaries, expand and infill the current mineral resource estimate (February 2023) which using a 0.45 g/ t Au cut off and a $1,792 gold price is 12.01 million ounces at 0.92 g/t Au (407,544,000 tonnes) (indicated) and 7.7 million ounces at 0.85 g/t (282,303,000 tonnes) (inferred) in preparation for an anticipated Preliminary Economic Assessment early in 2024.

 

A sample quality control/quality assurance program was implemented. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS Chemex. All assays were performed by ALS Global Ltd., with sample preparation conducted at the ALS facility in Fairbanks, Alaska, with subsequent studies conducted primarily using its Vancouver and Reno laboratories.

 

Core samples were prepared using the PREP-31BY package in ALS’s facility. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 1kg is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen; a portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via ICP-AES (method code ME-ICP61). Fire Assay analyzes all samples with an AAS finish, method code Au-AA23 (30g sample size) and over 10 g/t are automatically assayed using a FA Grav method, Au-GRAV21. Additional Au screening is performed using ALS’s Au-SCR24 method; select samples are dry-screened to 100 microns. A duplicate 50g fire assay is conducted on the little fraction and an assay on the entire oversize fraction. Total Au content, individual assays, and weight fractions are reported. Analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver and Reno facilities. A QA/QC program included laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards, with additional blanks inserted following samples of visible gold.

 

Freegold operates a full-service camp at Golden Summit.

 

The Qualified Person for this release is Alvin Jackson, PGeo – Vice President of Exploration and Development for Freegold.
