Freegold Ventures Reports High-Grade Gold Intercepts at Golden Summit
Event summary
- Freegold Ventures reported high-grade gold intercepts at its Golden Summit project, including 2.94 g/t Au over 58.4m in the Dolphin area.
- The results validate the current resource model and indicate potential for higher-grade mineralization within the main resource zone.
- Pilot-scale testing has achieved over 90% gold recovery using sulphide-oxidizing techniques, with flotation tailings classified as low risk for acid generation.
- Freegold plans to deploy additional drill rigs to accelerate the completion of the drill program.
The big picture
