Northern Freegold Update on Exploration Program at Burro Creek, Arizona

About this update from Triumph Gold Corp.

[{"type":"text","content":"Northern Freegold Update on Exploration Program at Burro Creek, Arizona\n\nVancouver, BC: July 9, 2013 - Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (NFR: TSX-V) (\"the Company\" or \"Northern Freegold\") announces the current phase of an exploration program at its wholly owned Burro Creek Gold/Silver Property, located in Mohave County, Arizona, USA (the \"Property\"). Given increased levels of mining and exploration activity in Arizona, and investor interest in potentially less capital intensive projects such as Burro Creek, the Company has recently reappraised the project. The board of directors determined that a low budget fieldwork program was warranted to follow up on previous exploration recommendations identified in the most recent NI 43-101 technical report. The objectives of the current phase of the program are to detect precious metal anomalies in a 1300 x 400 metre area bounded to the north and south by an outcropping gold/silver vein. Burro Creek, Arizona - Fieldwork Program\n The Burro Creek property covers a low-sulphidation epithermal gold/silver vein system that has been traced for more than 1.7 km along strike, exhibiting widths of up to 45 metres. The vein partially outcrops. Only 300 metres of the vein have been drilled to date and the vein mineralization is still open to the north and south along strike of the Burro Vein, as well as at depth, and in possible subparallel structures. \n Initial soil sampling with analysis by partial leach, completed by the Company in 2008, was effective in detecting the Burro Vein within the Central Block and detecting a second, or offset, portion of the vein 120 metres to the west with significant width suggestive of a \"blow out\" zone within the vein. The 1000 metre area between the Central and South Blocks is covered with overburden where no geophysics or soil sampling had been conducted by the Company before. \n The objective of the fieldwork program is to complete soil sampling between these two blocks where the vein outcrops, furthering our understanding of the vein potential between these two zones. Results from the analysis will be made available once management has received and analyzed them. The results from analysis of these samples will assist management in determining future fieldwork and drill targets at the property. About Burro Creek\nThe Burro Creek Property is located 1...
