[{"type":"text","content":"Fremont Permits 18 Drill Sites at the Griffon Gold Project; Drilling to Start Next MonthVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2020) -  Fremont Gold Ltd. (TSXV: FRE) (OTCQB: FRERF) (FSE: FR2) (\"Fremont\") is pleased to provide an update regarding the upcoming drill program at the past producing Griffon gold project (\"Griffon\"), located at the southern end of the Cortez Trend, Nevada (see Figure 1). The Cortez Trend is one of the most prolific gold trends in the world and is home to Nevada Gold Mines' Cortez Mine (963koz gold in 2019). Fremont has permitted 18 drill sites (see Figure 2) and the fully funded Phase 1 drill program is expected to commence in June.The 2,000-metre reverse circulation drill program will consist of at least 10 drill holes and will test a number of targets (see Table 1), including gold-in-soil anomalies, an area of unmined mineralization to the southwest of the Hammer Ridge pit, permissive stratigraphic targets, and the Blackrock fault. Hole DS-4 is targeting a never before drilled gold-in-soil anomaly located to the east of the Discovery pit. Hole DS-6 has been sited between two historic drill holes that returned broad gold intercepts in the Joana Limestone. Importantly, hole DS-6 will be drilled deeper than the two historic holes in order to test the underlying Pilot Shale. Hole DS-18 will be an angled drill hole into a coincident gold and thallium soil anomaly hosted in the Chainman Formation that will also penetrate the Blackrock fault and the underlying Joana Limestone. \"We are very excited to start the Phase 1 drill program at Griffon\" said Blaine Monaghan, CEO of Fremont. \"Underexplored and last drilled in the 1990s, Griffon hosts many prospective drill targets, each one providing Fremont with an opportunity to make a Carlin-type gold discovery.\"Figure 1: Griffon gold project location To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/3169/56545_1014c7eb64d41aa1_002full.jpgFigure 2: Permitted drill site locations at Griffon To view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/3169/56545_1014c7eb64d41aa1_003full.jpgTable 1: Description of the drill targets DS-1 Located at the northern end of a strong thallium-in-soil anomaly (see Drill target notes).
