Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) has successfully completed its 2022 drill programme at its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Deposit, Idaho, USA.
The programme consisted of 58 diamond drill holes and 13 reverse circulation (RC) for a total of 15,349 m.
Drilling successfully extended known mineralization in areas previously modelled as barren (unmineralized) in the company’s maiden mineral resource estimate with the objective of increasing the modelled in-pit ounces.
“We had a very busy year, which included extensive expansion drilling, permitting milestones, positive metallurgical work and a new discovery, as we are completing the building blocks for our PEA. In addition, senior management has supported the stock by continuing to expand our positions,” Executive Chairman, Paul Matysek, said.

– Discovered the Beauty Zone with initial drill hole containing 68.23 g/t Au over six metres and five follow-up holes with results pending for three RC holes;
– Significant shallow intercepts in oxide expanded the known mineralization to both the east and west by 80 and 166 m, respectively;
– Gold mineralization now extends to at least 348 m and is open at depth; and
– Selected highlighted results include 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); 1.5 g/t Au over 9.0m (FG22-010C); 0.61 g/t Au over 90m, including 0.92 g/t Au over 15.97m (FG22-009C); 0.94 g/t Au over 41m, including 1.67 g/t Au over 17m (FG22-014C); 0.73 g/t Au over 7.5m (FG22-002C; deepest mineralization drilled to date (340m) at Lemhi; and 2.1 g/t Au over 16m (FG22-016C).
