# Lode Gold completes first six holes of expanded 20-hole drill program at Fremont Gold Mine Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/lode-gold-completes-first-six-holes-of-expanded-20-hole-drill-program-at-fremont--a21690c4-b458-4eb5-a532-208345c9fe43 Original source: https://lode-gold.com/news/lode-gold-completes-first-six-holes-of-expanded-20-hole-drill-program-at-fremont-gold-mine/ Publisher: prospectors\_exchange Original announcement: 2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-20T12:52:09.160Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-20T12:52:09.160Z - Company: Lode Gold Resources Inc. - Ticker: LOD - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: California - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Other, Metallurgy, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-20 12:52:10 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.30 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lode Gold has completed the first six holes of an expanded 20-hole drilling campaign at the Fremont Gold Mine in California. These holes are part of a 12-hole metallurgical program designed to support future feasibility studies, with assay results currently pending. Reasoning: The company has completed the first six holes of a metallurgical drilling program, but since no assay results or grades were reported, it is a progress update rather than a drill results announcement. - Positive factor: Expansion of drill program to 20 holes - Positive factor: Progressing towards metallurgical testing to refine geometallurgical model - Positive factor: Use of PQ-diameter core for sufficient sample volume - Negative factor: No assay results currently available Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The drilling is part of an expanded program at an existing mine to support metallurgical testing and future feasibility studies. Evidence · text > These holes comprise of the first part of the metallurgical drilling which will help refine our geometallurgical model ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (6) ### PT-J\_001 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/lode-gold-completes-first-six-holes-of-expanded-20-hole-drill-program-at-fremont--a21690c4-b458-4eb5-a532-208345c9fe43#fact-drill-facts-0) Fremont Gold Mine #### Identity - Hole ID: PT-J\_001 - Project: Fremont Gold Mine - Region: california - Reported Region: california - Ticker: LOD #### Classification - Program: mixed - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
