Lode Gold Expands Drill Program at Fremont Gold Mine Project
Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) has expanded its ongoing drill program at its flagship Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California. The expansion includes four new drilling pads aimed at enhancing metallurgical representativeness and conducting hydrogeological testing to support mine planning efforts. The initiative is designed to optimize recovery mapping and refine geometallurgical domain modeling for future feasibility studies while also exploring untested zones with potential resource upside. This move was facilitated by an amendment to the company's existing Drill Permit, allowing streamlined operations without regulatory delays. CEO Wendy T. Chan emphasized that this expansion ensures essential engineering data collection alongside exploration opportunities. Lode Gold owns 100% of the Fremont project and has previously completed a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in 2023 outlining significant gold resources.
