Fremont Gold Completes Mag Survey over Urasar District
Fremont Gold Completes Mag Survey over
Urasar District
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 11, 2024) - Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FRE)
(OTCQB: FRERF) (FSE: FR20) ("
Fremont
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the completion
of a ground magnetic survey over the Company's 100% owned Urasar Mineral District exploration
permit.
The survey comprises 74 north-south lines, spaced 200 meters apart, totaling 240 line kilometers. Data
collection was conducted by Fremont personnel over a fifteen-week period, with quality control and
processing overseen by
Campbell & Walker Geophysics Ltd.
of Edinburgh, Scotland. Follow this link to

Urasar Highlights:
Large Epithermal Gold-Silver System that extends over 14 kilometers along a crustal-scale
lineament with possible copper porphyry mineralization at depth
Drill-Ready Targets: Eight key target areas have been identified in the southern portion of the
property for the upcoming drill campaign, including:
Golden Vein: 2021 sampling returned values of up to 12.0 g/t Au from a 5m channel sample
with with broad limonitic stockwork zones bordering to the east.
Oxide Basin: Features a 100m wide zone of sheeted veins and stockworks.
Black River: Displays intense silicification, abundant pyrite, and vuggy silica.
Copper Creek: Historic Soviet-era drill hole bottoming in 1.67% Copper over 25 m
The structural setting is a deep-seated crustal corridor that represents the closing of the Tethyan
Sea, comprising obducted ophiolites thrust over mineralized Tertiary volcanics, which is an
analogous setting to the world-class Sotk gold deposit to the southeast.

Fremont President Dennis Moore comments,
"We are extremely pleased with the high quality of the
magnetic data collected and the resulting survey results. The survey has clearly delineated
underlying geological domains and the structural framework as anticipated. The surface mineralized
zones identified to date are located within embayments on the northern margin of a continuous, 14 km
long, magnetic low, as shown in the reduced-to-pole, first vertical derivative magnetic map above
(Figure 1).
These magnetic lows, or troughs, often indicate the destruction of magnetite by hydrothermal fluids- a
key characteristic of mineralized terrains. The continuity and extent of this magnetic trough
strengthens our confidence that the Urasar District represents a single, structurally controlled, multi-
target, mineralized system, from the West Silica zone in the west to the Pathfinder area in the east.
The data also highlights a secondary northeast-striking fabric, which matches the orientation of many
of the mineralized structures mapped at the surface. Frankly, these survey results have exceeded our
expectations".
Moore adds
, "As Terratec, a German-based geophysical contractor, recently completed a 22-line
kilometer survey at Fremont's Vardenis copper porphyry project-located four hours south of Urasar-
the company seized the opportunity to conduct a small trial IP survey (Induced Polarization) at Urasar.
The trial includes two lines in the Oxide Basin-Copper Creek area and one line at Black River.
Preliminary data from the survey appears promising, and Fremont expects to receive the final report
within two weeks."

2 and 3 provide closer views of the western and eastern halves of the survey area, respectively. The
succession of mapped thrust faults separating the overlying ophiolites from the underlying mineralized
Tertiary volcanics is clearly delineated by the boundaries of the magnetic domains. This structural setting
mirrors that of the large Sokt gold mine, with an estimated 120 tons of gold reserves

, located over 100
kilometers to the southeast, which occurs along the same crustal-scale structure marking the closure of
the ancient Tethyan Sea.
Also displayed are the recently completed Induced Polarization (IP) survey
lines, along with preliminary proposed drill hole locations indicated by red and white points.
Fremont CEO Joel Sutherland comments, "This high-quality, in-house mag survey and upcoming IP
results will greatly assist the company in establishing drill targets through the end of 2025."
