Freeport Resources Inc. Files Technical Report for Star Mountains Gold Project

05.11.2020  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, Nov. 5, 2020 - Freeport Resources Inc. (TSX-V: FRI) ("Freeport", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed an independent technical report outlining the current resource estimate for its Star Mountains property located in Papua New Guinea (PNG). A copy of the report is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

"We are pleased to have completed this technical report which illustrates the current resource at Star Mountains," stated Freeport Chief Executive Officer, Gord Friesen. "We are hopeful that pandemic restrictions on movement both within, as well as to and from, PNG will ease in the new year. This will allow us to undertake an exploratory drill program to possibly increase this resource as well as an infill drill program with the intention of moving the resource from the inferred category to the measured and indicated categories".
