Gold Recoveries In Initial Metallurgical Testing For Lemhi Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Freeman Gold Corp. reported results from initial metallurgical testing on drill core material from its Lemhi Gold Project in Idaho. The test work has shown consistently high gold extractions exceeding 95% over a wide spatial area for a range of head grades that vary between 0.4 to 2.1 g/t Au. The excellent leach response indicates that cyanide tank leaching, with a moderately ground sample using a gravity pre-treatment and leached for approximately 36 hours, results in gold recoveries up to 98%. The generated data will be employed towards future economic calculations for the in-pit resource prior.

"We are extremely pleased with the initial metallurgical results," said Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman. "The metallurgical results to date suggests that the oxide zone potentially continues at depth. This bodes well for the discovery of additional oxide material along strike and below the current resource."

Frank Wright, P.Eng., of F. Wright Consulting Inc., said, "The leach response at Lemhi has consistently, over a wide spatial area and grade range of the resource, provided gold recoveries in the mid to upper 90% range. The initial metallurgical response is very encouraging and strongly supports continued studies to advance the property into a preliminary economic assessment."
