Lode Gold begins exploration program to evaluate upside potential at Fremont Gold Mine, California - Resource World Magazine

AI desk brief

Lode Gold has started an exploration program at its 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in California to assess upside across all seven deposits and nine additional targets, with particular focus on the previously producing French Mine as a potential high-grade satellite to Pine Tree-Josephine. The company says Fremont has extensive historical infrastructure and less than 20% of the property has been explored, while mineralization remains open along strike and at depth.

French Mine is the immediate technical focus: Lode Gold is compiling historical records and 2014/2016 sampling data into a 3D geological model to test continuity, mineable widths and potential blending benefits. Historical production from French Mine totaled 3,734.0 tonnes at 12.1 g/t Au for 1,599.8 oz between 1934 and 1939, and management expects further updates over the next 30 to 90 days.
