January 18th, 2012 (Vancouver, BC) -- Freegold Ventures
Limited (TSX: FVL, Frankfurt: FR4N) ("Freegold") is
pleased to report the results of from its ongoing drill
program on the Golden Summit Project located near Fairbanks,
Alaska. Drilling has recommenced on the project with two
rigs. One rig will be focused on the Cleary Hill/Dolphin area
with the other dedicated to exploring the bulk tonnage
potential of the Christina area which lies 3.3 km to the
east.
Initial drilling in the Phase 2 program was aimed at
evaluating the bulk tonnage potential at the Cleary Hill area
with a goal of tying the Cleary Hill Zone into the existing
Dolphin Resource in the next resource update.
The Phase two program commenced in September focusing on the
Cleary Hill area which is located approximately 600 meters
northeast of the Dolphin Deposit on which a resource estimate
was completed in December 2011. The current resource at
Dolphin using a 0.35 g/t cutoff is 14,840,000 tonnes @ 0.66
g/t Au - representing 316,000 ounces in the indicated
category and
50,460,000 tonnes @ 0.61 g/t Au - representing 991,000 ounces
in the inferred category.
Additional drilling will also be carried out on the Dolphin
Zone during the current program as there remains considerable
expansion potential in the immediate area both along strike
and to depth.
Significant new results from the Phase 2 drilling in the
Cleary Hill Area are reported below.
Width refers to drill hole intercepts, true widths have not been determined.
Drilling to date has identified bulk tonnage style
mineralization over a 700 metre strike length in the Cleary
Hill area. The Dolphin resource covers a comparable area with
similar grades. The planned program is designed to infill the
400 metre area between the Cleary Hilll and Dolphin areas
resulting in a potential resource strike length of 2,000
metres.
The Qualified Person, as defined by NI 43-101, who has
reviewed the technical disclosure contained in this release
is Curtis J. Freeman, M.Sc., PGeo who is the primary
geological consultant for the project. Drill cores were cut
in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed
bags. Core samples were picked up on-site by ALS-Chemex Labs
and transported to their facility in Fairbanks, Alaska. A
sample quality control/quality assurance program was
implemented.
