Earlier this year, Freegold undertook a metallurgical test program, which was completed by Dundee Sustainable Technologies (DST), specifically designed to assess the effectiveness of DST's GlassLock Process™ on material sourced from the Golden Summit property.  The results indicate that a saleable gold concentrate could be produced directly from Golden Summit material, with over 98% of the arsenic removed and incorporated into a stable glass by-product.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTest work Objectives:\nConduct preliminary laboratory testwork and complete characterization of sulphide concentrate material from the Golden Summit Project.Evaluate the technical feasibility and benefits of integrating DST's GlassLock Process™ for arsenic removal and stabilization.Demonstrate the ability to produce a concentrate with broad marketability to various smelters and/or metal traders.Sample P...
