[{"type":"text","content":"Fremont Discovers Gold-in-Soil Anomalies at Roberts Creek, Nevada; Exploration UpdateVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 22, 2019) - Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FRE) (FSE: FR2) (OTC Pink: USTDF) (\"Fremont\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has discovered several gold-in-soils anomalies that coincide with intersecting multiple faults at the Roberts Creek project, located within the Gold Bar district, Eureka County, Nevada. Roberts Creek consists of 170 unpatented mining claims, covering approximately 1,400 hectares directly south of McEwen Mining's Gold Bar project. Figure 1 shows the location of Fremont's claim blocks (purple) in relation to McEwen Mining's Gold Bar project areas (blue).\"We are very encouraged by the recent magnetic and soil survey results at Roberts Creek,\" said Clay Newton, Fremont's Vice President of Exploration. \"The geophysical and geochemical anomalies coincide with the intersections of multiple faults projected from the range. The location of these anomalies at the intersection of multiple faults, and within sight of satellite gold deposits in the range, is reminiscent of Pipeline.\"Figure 1.

Magnetic low areas often reflect \"magnetite destruction\" caused by acidic mineralizing fluids;The recent soil survey has returned anomalous gold and pathfinder elements defining anomalies in the fault intersection area on the west side of the project area and also along Roberts Creek on the east side of the project area (see Figure 2).The soil anomaly on the east side follows along Roberts Creek, which is probably controlled by a NNE fault. The NNE fault intersects a NE-trending fault that projects out of McEwen's Gold Bar South resource area into the range. This is an excellent struct...
