Fremont Gold Completes Drilling at Gold Bar & Gold Canyon Projects, Nevada

 

 

 

 

 

Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: FRE) (FSE: FR2) (OTC Pink: USTDF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced drill program at Gold Bar and Gold Canyon in northern Nevada (see Fremont news release dated May 9, 2018). Seven reverse-circulation drill holes were completed; two at Gold Bar and five at Gold Canyon, totalling 1,559 meters. The program was expanded from the originally announced 1000 meters in five holes, to seven holes, as the rate of drilling advanced more efficiently than anticipated. The initial batch of samples has been dispatched to American Assay Laboratory in Reno with analytical results expected in the coming weeks.

Background of Gold Bar District

 

 

The Gold Bar and Gold Canyon properties are both former mines in the Gold Bar District in Eureka County, Nevada, an active mining area in the Roberts Mountains within the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend. The district contains several Carlin-style sediment-hosted gold deposits including McEwen Mining Inc.’s (“McEwen”) Gold Bar project, which is scheduled to produce 62,800 oz Au/annum at $770/oz starting in early 20191.

 

 

Fremont’s Gold Bar and Gold Canyon projects are adjacent (west) and immediately north of McEwen’s Gold Bar mine development project, which is currently under construction and expected to be completed by early 2019. While McEwen’s development project and Fremont’s property share the same name, the historic Gold Bar mine is held by Fremont and produced 286,354 ounces of gold from 1986 to 19942. McEwen’s property comprises the former satellite pits to the to the original Gold Bar mine and they adopted the historical mine name. However, the original Gold Bar pit occurs in the south-central portion of Fremont’s 10,096-acre (4086 ha) land package, five kms southwest of McEwen’s project as shown in the inset of the image below. Fremont’s property hosts an historical resource of 147,000 ounces @ 2.57 g/t Au, called the Millsite deposit3 (see Fremont press release dated September 12, 2017) thought to be a faulted off-set of the former Gold Bar ore body located on the northwest side of the old pit.
