Lundin Gold Expands High-Grade Mineralization at Fruta del Norte with Record Drill Results
Event summary
- High-grade intercepts at FDNS extend mineralization beyond current resource envelope, including 108.61 g/t Au over 11.75 meters.
- Record drill result of 236.62 g/t Au over 3.95 meters recorded at FDN East, prompting underground development.
- FDNS conversion drilling demonstrates continuity and grade, supporting potential resource and reserve growth.
- Approximately 12,678 meters of drilling completed across 110 holes since January at FDNS.
The big picture
Lundin Gold's ongoing drilling programs at Fruta del Norte continue to deliver exceptional high-grade results, reinforcing the potential for significant resource growth. The expansion of mineralization at FDNS and the record drill result at FDN East highlight the company's ability to identify and develop new resource opportunities within its highly prospective land package. These developments are critical for ensuring long-term sustainability and growth in a competitive gold mining sector.
