VANCOUVER, Oct. 26 /CNW/ - Freegold Ventures Limited ("Freegold") is
pleased to announce that trenching continues to discover extensions of
previously identified mineralized zones at the Golden Summit project outside
Fairbanks, Alaska. Recent trenching and trench sample assays indicate that the
Currey Zone, initially discovered this summer as a 10 to 15 foot wide shear
zone within the Cleary Hill South Vein Swarm, may now extend over a strike
length in excess of 1,000 feet with widths and mineralized grade increasing
towards the southwest. This extensional trenching work is in addition to the
ongoing bulk sampling of 10,000 tons of material from a number of high-grade
veins, and the ongoing mapping and sampling of new veins discovered in this
area during the construction of the haul road.
Located 50 feet to the south and parallel to the high-grade Wackwitz vein
(which over 5 foot widths averaged 16.4 g/tonne over 235 feet of trenching
conducted in June 2006), the Currey Zone was exposed in two trenches during
that same program. One 70 foot long trench averaged 2.3 g/tonne over 10-foot
sample widths, and the second 150 foot long trench (75 feet further along
strike to the west) averaged 2.2 g/tonne over 10-foot sample widths. Although
lower grade than the Wackwitz, the Currey Zone is a wider shear zone, which
has now been extended an additional 220 feet to the southwest, with
preliminary assays from the 5-foot wide channel sampling over the first
120 feet of extension averaging 2.35 g/tonne. The remainder of the assays from
this trench are pending.
The width of the Currey Zone is increasing in the southwesterly
direction, and while averaging 10-15 feet wide in the areas uncovered to date,
widths of up to 40 feet are seen in the new trenching. The Currey Zone
encountered in trenching is now directly on strike with a drill intercept of a
similar multi-phase shear zone located a further 500 feet to the southwest
where a Freegold core drill hole in 2000 intersected the shear over a 72-foot
true width at an average grade of 4.4 g/tonne. The Currey Zone remains open in
all directions.
Freegold's bulk sampling program continues to generate positive results.
Approximately 5,000 tons are expected to be collected from the veins and shear
zones in the Beistline Shaft area of the Cleary Hill Eastern Extension, which
sits on patented ground controlled by Freegold. Sampling is now proceeding to
a depth of approximately 25 feet and the 30 foot wide trench continues to see
mineralization bleeding into the south hanging wall of the pit. A further
4,000 tons of material will be collected from veins on patented ground
controlled by Freegold, while 1,000 tons are expected to be taken from the
Wackwitz vein under permits issued by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Pending the results from the on-going trenching and bulk sampling program, the
Company may make application to the State and Federal regulatory agencies for
a small miners permit to expand its activities in the Cleary Hill mine area in
2007.
"We are very excited to have discovered new styles of gold mineralization
that have never been previously mined on the Golden Summit Property" stated
Freegold President and C.E.O. Steve Manz. "The focus of the historical
underground lode gold mining on the property from 1902-1942 was on the
discrete high-grade, narrow quartz veins, which generated average mill feed
grades between 34 g/tonne (1.0 oz/ton) and 56 g/tonne (1.6 oz/ton). Our
current program of overburden stripping, trenching and bulk sampling is
exposing much larger areas of mineralization than have been seen in the past.
We have now been able to determine that significant bleeding of higher-grade
mineralization has occurred into the host rock of the principal veins in this
area. Although the ultimate width of mineralization at the Cleary Hill Eastern
Extension has yet to be determined, our recent exposure of the historically
mined Cleary Hill vein at surface 1,300 feet to the west, and the
identification of similar bleeding of quartz and mineralization into the walls
of this vein, gives rise to the possibilities of extensive strike lengths of
this new style of deposition."
Alaska Assay Laboratories in Fairbanks, Alaska and ALS Chemex Labs in
North Vancouver, BC completed analyses for gold via fire assay analysis plus
multi element ICP-AES and ICP-MS analysis using 4 acid digestion.
