About Freegold Ventures
Freegold Ventures Limited is a North American exploration and development company with a management team experienced in mine development and production that is actively exploring advanced-stage gold projects in Idaho and Alaska. Freegold holds a 100% lease interest in the Almaden gold project in Idaho. This large tonnage epithermal gold deposit was the subject of a feasibility study in 1997 calling for the development of a 95,000 oz/year open pit, heap leach mine. Freegold has recently finalized a 54,700-foot drilling program aimed at further expanding the size of the resource and is in the process of generating a new 43-101 resource prior to undertaking new economic evaluations in 2008. Drilling at depth and to the north and south of the known mineralization is continuing to identify new extensions to the deposit, and newly identified open ended areas of molybdenum mineralization continue to be encountered along with the gold in the northern portions of the deposit. Freegold's 40,100-foot drill program has resulted in the discovery of new high-grade veins and bulk tonnage shear zones on its Golden Summit project outside Fairbanks, Alaska. Historically over 6.75 million ounces have been recovered from streams that drain the Golden Summit project and an additional 500,000 ounces of lode gold were recovered from past producing mines on the Golden Summit project which is situated less than 5 miles to the north of the +7 million ounce Fort Knox Mine. In order to further evaluate the mineralized zones delineated to date, on-site seasonal bulk sample processing using a gravity-based concentration plant has commenced. Exploration is ongoing as the Company continues to define additional areas of larger, lower grade mineralization through on-going drilling and stripping. Exploration has also commenced on the Vinasale property in Alaska, where geophysical and surface sampling programs have recently been completed on this 140,000 acre property which contains the Vinasale gold deposit., and on the Rob property in Alaska, where recent drilling has intersected high-grade gold (29.0 g/t over 13 feet and 20.1 g/t over 13.5 feet) in near surface quartz veins similar in appearance and grade to those being mined at the nearby 5.6 million ounce Pogo mine. |
