# FREEMAN GOLD COMMENCES PHASE FOUR METALURGICAL TEST WORK IN SUPPORT OF FEASIBILITY STUDY AT THE LEMHI GOLD PROJECT Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/freeman-gold-commences-phase-four-metalurgical-test-work-in-support-of-feasibili--feb83b16-1d4f-4e41-aaa4-80ceb61ba394 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/FMAN/news/7028590221604223/freeman-gold-commences-phase-four-metalurgical-test-work-in-support-of-feasibili Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-04-14T11:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Freeman Gold Corp. - Ticker: FMAN - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Copper - Document categories: Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-08-25 10:45:03 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Freeman Gold Corp. has awarded a contract to Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd. to conduct phase four metallurgical testing at the Lemhi Gold Project. This work aims to refine the optimized flowsheet \(gravity + CIL\) in support of the upcoming Feasibility Study. Reasoning: The company is advancing to phase four metallurgical testing to support a Feasibility Study, building on strong historical recovery results \(95-97.5% Au\). - Positive factor: high historical gold recoveries - Positive factor: optimized flowsheet identified - Positive factor: contract awarded for feasibility-level testing - Negative factor: lower recoveries noted with higher copper content Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: The optimized flowsheet utilizes a CIL \(Carbon-In-Leach\) processing facility. Evidence · text > utilizes a CIL processing facility **High Recovery** Polarity: positive Definition: Recovery at or above the exceptional band for the commodity and processing route. Why it applies: Historical gold recoveries reported at 95% to 97.5% using CIL. Evidence · text > This flowsheet produced combined gold recoveries of 97.5 % and 96.3% **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions testing in duplicate and the use of a professional laboratory \(Base Met\). Evidence · text > each composite was assayed for gold in duplicate. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
