Interesting Company News Today Lode Gold's New Mineral Resource Estimate: 1.11 Moz of Gold - 18.8 Mt at 1.84 g/t Au (Measured & Indicated) and 1.99 Moz of Gold (Inferred) - 33.1 Mt at 1.86 g/t Au at Fremont Gold MineLode Gold Resources Inc (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) announced a new Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100% owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California. The updated MRE, using a 1 g/t Au cut-off, reports 1.11 million oz of gold (Indicated) and 1.98 million oz of gold (Inferred), a significant increase from the previous 2025 MRE which used a 3 g/t cut-off and reported 133,000 oz of M&I resource. The resource upgrade is supported by the integration of over 7,000 new underground channel samples, bringing the total to over 38,000 samples. The project now reflects a strategic pivot to bulk underground mining, with plans to initiate a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) by Q2 2026. The company highlights significant exploration upside, including nine new AI-defined targets and potential silver credits.
