[{"type":"text","content":"Northern Freegold Announces Exploration Results from Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nVancouver, BC: January 20, 2014. Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (NFR: TSX-V, NFRGF: OTCQX) is pleased to announce further results from the 2013 exploration program on the Freegold Mountain Project (\"Freegold\"). The project is 100% owned by Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (the \"Company\" or \"Northern Freegold\") and is road accessible, located 70 km west of Carmacks in the Dawson gold belt of southwestern Yukon.\n\n \n \nDiscovery Zone (Seymour-Goldstar)\n\n \n \nThe Discovery Zone consists of a number of porphyry, skarn, and epithermal showings and targets which collectively cover an area encompassing approximately seven square kilometres.\n\n \n \nThe objective of the 2013 program was to assess an area within the Discovery Zone historically known as the Northwest Zone. Geochemical surveys have previously identified a 150-250 metre wide by 1,700 metre long gold in soil anomaly (> 90th percentile) which is centered on the historic Melissa Showing. The geochemical surveys and trenching activities completed during 2013 were designed to ground truth historic soil values, provide multi-element geochemistry, and trench high priority geochemical targets. \n\n \n \nThe 2013 geochemical survey from the Discovery area has successfully delineated a 150 to 300 metre wide by 900 metre long west-northwest trending zone of coincident anomalous gold-silver-arsenic-bismuth-lead-antimony in soil east of the existing geochemical grid completed in 1986 and west of the geochemical grid completed in 2011. The total strike length of the anomalous gold zone (> 90th percentile) is currently defined up to 1,700 metres. This zone has never been drill tested.\n\n \n \nInitial data analysis completed prior to this year's field activities included compilation of historic drill hole assays and surface rock samples to identify elemental correlations with gold mineralization. These correlations were then used to determine which pathfinder elements would be used to delineate prospective exploration zones during post-field data analysis. The data analysis concluded that silver (Ag), bismuth (Bi), and arsenic (As) are strong pathfinder elements for gold mineralization, whilst lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb) are moderate pathfinder elements for g...
