Freeman Gold Corp. has commenced metallurgical test work on its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Project located in Idaho, USA. This work is part of Freeman's integrated technical program to advance towards a production decision. A comprehensive review of the historical information and test work conducted by previous operators has been completed. Freeman's metallurgical team has designed a test work program to follow-up and enhance gold recoveries, ultimately leading to a project flowsheet for the Lemhi Project. The Company is utilizing samples from both historical and fresh drill core from the 2020 exploration drill program. A review of metallurgical evaluations by previous owners of Lemhi has shown that gold recoveries respond well to conventional processing techniques. Past engineering studies has also shown that Lemhi has the potential to be developed into an open pit, heap and/or tank leach operation. Historical test work focused primarily on cyanide leaching, most recently in the mid-1990s, by Kappes Cassiday & Associates ("KPA") of Reno, NV. Column leach tests by KPA to evaluate heap leach potential showed gold recovery ranged from the seventy to 90% range, with best results obtained using a crush size of 80% minus 8 mesh (2.4 mm). Additional work by KPA included bottle roll testing to simulate tank leaching response that typically resulted in optimized gold recoveries in the mid-ninety percent range. The results vary based on the head grade and lithology of the samples, along with test conditions used, most notably particle size and leach retention time. In general, the historic metallurgical information shows good to excellent leach response over wide spatial areas and depth of the known gold mineralization. In order to advance process development at Lemhi, a 2021 metallurgical testing program is to be conducted at SGS Canada Inc., Burnaby, BC, under the direction of Frank Wright, P.Eng. This study will continue to focus on leach response, as well as investigate optional procedures, including froth flotation, primarily for deeper less oxidized material, and for establishing design and operating parameters for crushing, grinding, and leaching circuits.
