Freegold's Golden Summit Drilling Reveals High-Grade Gold Continuity
Event summary
- Freegold intersected 336.8 meters grading 1.32 g/t Au in infill drilling at Golden Summit.
- Higher-grade corridors traced continuously for over 1.5 km across the Dolphin–Cleary–WOW trend.
- 2026 drilling program aims to support an updated mineral resource estimate and 2027 Pre-Feasibility Study.
- Golden Summit currently hosts 17.2 million ounces of Indicated and 11.9 million ounces of Inferred gold resources.
The big picture
Freegold's latest drilling results at Golden Summit reinforce the project's scale and grade potential, critical for advancing towards a Pre-Feasibility Study. The focus on higher-grade corridors and technical inputs aligns with broader industry trends of optimizing resource estimates for economic viability. With six rigs operating and ongoing metallurgical testing, Freegold is positioning Golden Summit as a potential large-scale gold development in Alaska.
