The Phase III drill program commenced on September 11, 2015 and concluded on March 5, 2016. It consisted of a total of 43 diamond holes, and 12,549 metres of drilling.

Today’s announcement brings the total number of Phase III drill holes for which assay results have been publicly released to 23. Assay results for the previously released 20 drill holes were announced on November 9, 2015, November 23, 2015, December 15, 2015, January 18, 2016, February 17, 2016 and March 30, 2016. Further assay results will continue to be released as they become available.

The Phase III drill program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

  • Generation of a maiden resource estimate for the Project covering the main Pine Tree-Josephine mineralized zone
  • 31 of the Phase III holes are infill holes in support of the resource estimate
  • Testing the down-dip extension of the shear zone in the main Pine Tree-Josephine mineralized zone to a depth of up to 1,000 metres below surface
  • Three of the Phase III holes are deep holes
  • Testing the mineralization potential of the newly discovered mineralized zones on surface originally discussed in the Company’s December 4, 2014 press release
  • Nine of the Phase III holes are exploratory holes drilled in the Queen Specimen Succedo and Golden Slope mineralized zones

Discussion of the Phase III Drill Holes

The three holes discussed in this press release are part of the infill drilling segment of the Phase III drill program, focused on providing greater confidence in the geological continuity of the main Pine Tree-Josephine mineralized zone, in order to help generate a maiden resource estimate for the Project.

The results from all currently analyzed Phase III drill holes show strong correlation with the geology documented during the recent Phase I and II diamond, and historic RC, drilling campaigns, and geological analysis of the Pine Tree-Josephine deposit.

A descriptive overview of the geological setting and the various styles of mineralization prevalent at the Project is provided in the Company’s news release dated November 9, 2015.

DD-15-039

Drill hole DD-15-039 was drilled with an azimuth of 260° and an inclination of -55° to a depth of 137.8m.

This hole intersected three important mineralized zones with gold values exceeding 1.4 g/t. A 4.5m interval with an average of 5.84 g/t Au was intersected between 74.8m and 79.3m. This interval is associated with shearing and sulfide replacement mineralization within massive to ribboned quartz veins including the Pine Tree Lode. This interval includes intersections of 1.6m with an average grade of 7.57 g/t Au (74.8m to 76.4m), and 0.6m with an average grade of 20.71 g/t Au (78.7m to 79.3m).

Within the serpentinite matrix a 6.1m interval with an average grade of 1.43 g/t Au was intersected between 83.0m and 89.1m. This interval is associated with quartz veins and sulfide replacement mineralization within and zone of cataclasite and boudinage development. This interval includes a 1.2m intersection with an average grade of 3.26 g/t Au (85.4m to 86.6m). Within the Mariposa Formation sedimentary rocks at the basal contact of the tectonic melange a 8.3m interval with an average grade of 2.47 g/t Au was intersected between 114.1m and 122.4m that is associated with a zone of brecciation and quartz veinlets that has been observed in a similar position in previously analyzed boreholes. This interval includes a 4.5m intersection with an average grade of 3.38 g/t Au (115.9m to 120.4m).

DD-15-043

Drill hole DD-15-043 was drilled with an azimuth of 240° and an inclination of -55° to a depth of 106.7m.

This hole intersected two important mineralized zones with gold values exceeding 1.9 g/t Au. A 4.7m interval with an average of 2.0 g/t Au was intersected between 82.0m and 86.7m. This interval is associated with sulphide replacement in the tectonic melange matrix between numerous massive quartz veins. This interval includes an intersection of 1.9m with an average grade of 2.79 g/t Au (84.7m to 86.6m). A 3.0m interval with an average of 3.47 g/t Au was intersected between 100.0m and 103.0m. This interval is associated with sulfide replacement mineralization and quartz breccia within the tectonic melange. This interval includes an intersection of 0.9m with an average grade of 7.54 g/t Au (100.9m to 101.8m).

DD-15-044

Drill hole DD-15-044 was drilled with an azimuth of 260° and an inclination of -65° to a depth of 195.4m.

This hole intersected five important mineralized zones with gold values exceeding 1.3 g/t. In the hanging wall mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks three mineralized zones were recorded. These included a 6.5m interval with an average of 1.52 g/t Au between 9.1m and 15.6m, and a 9.1m interval with an average of 1.32 g/t Au between 50.6m and 59.7m, that are associated with massive quartz veins in quartz-albite-ankerite altered ultramafic rocks. A 6.1m interval with an average 2.87 g/t Au was intersected between 91.7m and 97.8m and is associated with quartz flooding in albite altered ultramafic rocks and up to 15% pyrite mineralization. This interval includes an intersection of 1.5m with an average grade of 6.58 g/t Au (94.8m to 96.3m).

A 18.3m interval with an average of 2.01 g/t Au was intersected between 145.1m and 163.4m. This intersection is associated with numerous massive quartz veins, quartz stockwork, and sulfide replacement mineralization in andesitic blocks within the tectonic melange. This interval includes an intersection of 3.0m with an average grade of 5.90 g/t Au (151.2m to 154.2m). Proximal to the footwall boundary of the tectonic melange a 17.3m interval with an average of 1.91 g/t Au was intersected between 167.4m and 184.7m and is associated with a zone of massive quartz veins and sulfide replacement mineralization in andesitic blocks that has been observed in a similar position in previously analyzed boreholes. This interval includes intersections of 3.0m with an average grade of 3.64 g/t Au (172.5m to 175.5m), and 1.3m with an average grade of 5.70 g/t Au (178.8m to 180.1m).

The Company has retained the services of SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., an internationally recognized, independent resource consulting firm, to advise the Company’s technical team on overall geological interpretation and to act as an independent umpire on assay results.

Description of Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC) Procedures

The laboratory being used for assay analyses is American Assay Laboratories Inc. (“AAL”) based in Sparks, Nevada (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Certified).

Prior to transportation of core samples to AAL, all core processing is conducted at the Project site in an enclosed 6,000 sq. ft. office facility. All diamond drill core is logged, photographed and split using core saws. Core from entire holes is being sampled every five feet to compare with the historic RC hole assay intervals. Additionally, sub-samples are being collected within the planned five foot intervals where important geological or mineralization contacts occur to allow better discrimination within the geological model. The minimum sample interval is 1.5 feet.

One half of the split core is transported to AAL by Company employees for prep and analysis. The other half of the core is stored at the Company core storage facility for future inspection and assay verification. All gold analyses of strongly mineralized samples utilize the screened metallics fire (SMF) assay method with a gravimetric finish. At the laboratory, the entire sample is crushed to 90 percent minus ten-mesh. A rotary splitter is used to obtain a 500 gram sample for pulverising. The screened metallics are collected as the plus fraction from a 150-mesh screen at the lab. The plus 150-mesh fraction is fire assayed in its entirety. Two separate one-assay ton fire (1ATF) analyses of the minus 150-mesh fraction are performed and arithmetically averaged. The minus and plus 150-mesh results are then combined for a total screened metallics fire assay.

A full QA/QC program, involving insertion of appropriate blanks and standards is being employed with acceptable results. Generation of QA/QC control charts, and overall independent umpiring of assay results is being conducted by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.

Mr. Vishal Gupta, the Company's President & CEO has reviewed and approved this press release. Mr. Gupta is a P.Geo. registered with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO), and a Qualified Person (QP) as defined under National Instrument 43-101. The exploration program at Fremont is being conducted under Mr. Gupta’s supervision.
