Toronto Venture Stock Exchange: FMAN

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (OTCQX: FMANF) (FSE: 3WU) (“Freeman” or the “Company“) is pleased to report results of 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, Idaho, USA. Fourteen of these drill holes were designed to test mineralization on strike to the west of the known deposit (expansion holes) and one infill hole to improve the resource confidence in zones with historical drill holes (Figures 1, 2 and 3 attached and Table 1).

The expansion holes represent 20 to 166 metre step outs to the west of existing drilling where mineralization is untested and open. These areas were previously 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, “Very positive news, these results clearly show gold mineralization at Lemhi extends up to 166 metres along strike and to the west.  Similar to our results in the east, the Lemhi gold deposit is expanding in all directions where historical drilling had not been conducted. This should add valuable ounces to our in pit mineral resource that is currently considered waste.”

All holes drilled to date have intersected shallow oxide gold. Selected highlighted results from the 10 holes are 0.61 g/t Au over 66m, including 3.1 g/t Au over 5.0m (FG22-011C); 0.55 g/t Au over 55m, including 1.1 g/t Au over 18.52m (FG22-001C); 0.34 g/t Au over 105.92m including 1.49 g/t over 7.0m (FG22-031C); 0.24 g/t Au over 156.69m including 2.1 g/t over 7.44m (FG21-004C); 1.2 g/t Au over 24m (FG22-036C); 0.4 g/t Au over 41m (FG22-003C); and 1.5 g/t Au over 9.0m (FG22-010C). Gold mineralization now extends to at least 166 metres to the west and is open at depth. Drill sections for drill holes FG22-003C and FG22-036C are attached.

** Using 0.2 g/t Au cut-off.


Lemhi Gold Deposit:

As of November 9, 2022, 50 new core drill holes for a total of 12,168 metres and seven reverse circulation (“RC“) holes totalling 1,128 metres have been completed at Lemhi. These holes have been primarily designed to test on strike extensions of the known resource as well as infill in certain parts of the gold deposit. In particular, the drill program has focused on areas currently modelled as pit waste because of no or sparse drill data. All ounces added in these areas, even if close to the cut-off grade, will add value to the project as they come from zones in the resource shell that can now be upgraded to resources (Figures 1, 2 and 3 attached). An additional 20 holes or approximately 4,000m have been planned as part of the Phase 3 RC drill program which is ongoing.

All drill holes from the project have been logged, sampled and sent to the laboratory. Analytical results are pending.

All drill core samples are sent to ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division), an independent and fully accredited laboratory (ISO 9001:2008) for analysis for gold by Fire Assay and multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (select drill holes), in Vancouver, Canada.  Freeman has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control (QA/QC) program where at least 10% duplicates, blanks and standards are inserted into each sample shipment. 

About the Company and Project

Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100% owned Lemhi Gold property (the “Project“). The Project comprises 30 square kilometres of highly prospective land, hosting a near-surface oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43- 101“) compliant mineral resource estimate is comprised of 749,800 oz gold (“Au“) at 1.02 grams per tonne (“g/t“) in 22.94 million tonnes (Indicated) and 250,300 oz Au at 1.01 g/t Au in 7.83 million tonnes (Inferred). See the NI 43-101 technical report titled “Maiden Resource Technical Report for the Lemhi Gold Project, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA” with an effective date of June 1, 2021, and signing date of July 30, 2021, as prepared by APEX Geoscience Ltd. and F. Wright Consulting Inc. available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The Company is focused on growing and advancing the Project towards a production decision.
