Freegold Ventures Hits High-Grade Gold at Golden Summit, Expands Tamarack Zone
Event summary
- Freegold Ventures drilled 11.54 g/t Au over 29.5 m at Golden Summit, within 216.4 m of 2.44 g/t Au.
- Tamarack zone expanded with high-grade intercepts, including 24.12 g/t Au over 6.6 m.
- Five drill rigs active, sixth mobilizing; 50,000-meter program targets higher-grade corridors.
- Pilot-scale metallurgical testing completed; flotation concentrate produced for PFS support.
The big picture
Freegold Ventures' high-grade intercepts at Golden Summit reinforce its position as one of North America's largest undeveloped gold resources. The expansion into the Tamarack zone suggests potential for a district-scale opportunity, while successful metallurgical testing could streamline future processing and reduce costs. The company's aggressive 50,000-meter drill program aims to further delineate higher-grade corridors, critical for improving project economics ahead of the PFS.
