[{"type":"text","content":" 350 metre by 250 metre coincidental gold in rock and soil anomaly open in 3 directions Located 600 metres west of Lemhi gold resource 52 of 105 rock samples greater than 1 g/t Au with 28 samples greater than 10 g/t Au (up to 450 g/t Au) Zone is heavily oxidized and silicified at surface Trenching and drill pad construction are underway. VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Freeman Gold Corp. (CSE: FMAN) (OTCQB: FMANF) (FSE: 3WU) (\"Freeman\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report geochemical results from the newly discovered Beauty Zone (\"Beauty Zone\"). This zone lies approximately 600 metres west of the Lemhi Gold Deposit where Freeman recently reported a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate on July 8, 2021. The untested Beauty Zone lies wholly within Freeman's patented mining claims and is defined by a 350 metre by 250 metre coincidental gold in rock and soil anomaly. Sections of this zone were hydraulically mined between 1890 and the early 1900s. The Beauty Zone was first identified from prospecting during the 2020 field work program, described as Target 1 in the press release dated May 6, 2021. The Beauty Zone's location in relation to the Lemhi Gold Deposit and other exploration targets is shown in Figure 1. \"With the discovery of the Beauty Zone we have added a high quality target to our resource potential,\" commented Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman. \"We are very excited about the prospects of adding near surface, high grade oxide ounces near Lemhi. The similarities between their geological settings and the very prospective geochemical results are striking. It's a beauty! Drill pads are being constructed for drill testing.\" In total, 105 rock grab and 347 soil samples have been collected in and around the Beauty Zone. A total of 52 rock samples returned values greater than 1 gram per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\"), 39 with values greater than 5 g/t Au and 28 samples with greater than 10 g/t Au (up to 450 g/t Au). Rock samples are heavily oxidized and silicified at surface. (See Table 1: Figure 2) One contrast to mineralization at the Lemhi Gold Deposit is the presence of associated silver in many of the anomalous rock samples. Of the 105 rock grab sample results received to date, 48 samples at the Beauty zone contain greater than 10 g/t silver (\"Ag\") (up to 219 g/t Ag). Furthermore, the anomalous r...
