Lode Gold's Upcoming Spin Co, Gold Orogen, Defines 2025 New Brunswick Exploration Targets; Reports Gold-in-Soil and EM Anomalies Identifying Highly Prospective Mineralized Systems at McIntyre Brook

Lode Gold's Upcoming Spin Co, Gold Orogen, Defines 2025 New Brunswick Exploration Targets; Reports Gold-in-Soil and EM Anomalies Identifying Highly Prospective Mineralized Systems at McIntyre Brook

 Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) ("Lode Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce 2025 exploration targets for its Phase 1 exploration program in its subsidiary, Gold Orogen, which will be spun out as a separate public company in March 2025, pending Exchange and Shareholder approval. The Annual Shareholder Meeting is set for March 10, 2025. Shareholders of Lode Gold as of the Record Date will be eligible to receive shares of the new Spin Co (Gold Orogen). This tax-efficient spin-out is to ensure maximum return on investment for shareholders.

Gold Orogen has formed a JV-Co, Acadian Gold, with Fancamp, creating one of the largest land packages on the Iapetus Suture Belt in New Brunswick. This potential district-scale play covers 445 km². Atlantic Canada, especially New Brunswick, equipped with excellent infrastructure and geopolitics, is under-explored yet highly prospective for both gold and polymetallic minerals. In recent months, majors such as Kinross, Equinox Gold and others have strategically made advancements in the area.

The potential for highly prospective mineralized systems at McIntyre Brook has been evidenced with the integration of soil geochemistry and geophysical data. In January 2024, the Company confirmed gold endowment in mineralized rhyolites in McIntyre Brook; the geology is consistent with the surrounding Puma/Kinross JV property. These results build positively on previously announced findings and enhance the potential for a gold-copper discovery at McIntyre Brook. Of note, a small test drill program was conducted in 2019; both holes were mineralized with a best intercept: 5.73 g/t Au in a broader 20 m zone of 1.20 g/t Au. New targets are being identified for further work in the upcoming 2025 Exploration Program.

The HeliTEM² survey and soil geochemistry work completed in November 2024 at McIntyre Brook revealed EM conductors near gold-in-soil anomalies, suggesting potential nearby gold mineralization (refer to press releases dated October 15, 2024, and January 20, 2025).

Highlights

  • The Heliborne HeliTEM² Survey revealed, among other aspects, the presence of a series of EM conductors in the northeastern part of the McIntyre Brook Property, which create an open ellipsoid over a significative area (refer to Figure 2).
  • The initial soil geochemical survey conducted in November 2024 at the periphery of the southeast and northeast area of the conductors revealed the presence of gold-in-soil anomalies associated with Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb) and Tungsten (W) anomalies.
  • The area is also characterized by a 275 ppb Au stream sediment anomaly downstream from the conductive area. This sample was the highest value returned from the 1981 regional stream sampling program conducted in the area by the Geological Surveys Branch of the Government of New Brunswick.

These new results from McIntyre Brook reveal coincident gold-in-soil anomalies and prominent electromagnetic conductors, significantly enhancing the potential for a substantial gold-copper discovery. These promising targets are situated within the geologically favourable Wapske Formation, structurally defined by the McIntyre Brook and Ramsay Brook faults.

Furthermore, analysis of new HeliTEM² magnetic and radiometric data has identified additional faulting and a coincident elevated radiometric signature, potentially indicative of rhyolites or hydrothermal activity-key indicators of significant gold mineralization in the Wapske Formation. Consequently, this area at McIntyre Brook has been designated a high-priority target for Gold Orogen's 2025 New Brunswick exploration program, offering considerable potential for a new gold discovery.

"It's satisfying to see Phase 1 of exploration in New Brunswick yield such encouraging results. The coincident geochemical and EM findings, along with the previously reported results at Riley Brook, clearly outline the path forward," comments Jonathan Hill, Director of the Board and Chair of the Technical Committee. "We'll be conducting soil sampling and trenching in both areas, which will help generate and ultimately test drill targets. We anticipate field crews will begin this work once we finalize the exploration plan."

With the complete dataset from the 2024 New Brunswick exploration program now received, target generation is progressing, and the 2025 exploration plan will be finalized in the coming weeks.

About Lode Gold

Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

In Canada, its Golden Culvert and WIN Projects in Yukon, covering 99.5 km2 across a 27-km strike length, are situated in a district-scale, high grade gold mineralized trend within the southern portion of the Tombstone Gold Belt. A total of four RIRGS targets have been confirmed on the property. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in May 2024.

In New Brunswick, Lode Gold has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold JV Co; consisting of an area that spans 445 km2 and a 44 km strike. McIntyre Brook covers 111 km2 and a 17-km strike in the emerging Appalachian/Iapetus Gold Belt; it is hosted by orogenic rocks of similar age and structure as New Found Gold's Queensway Project. Riley Brook is a 335 km2 package covering a 26 km strike of Wapske formation with its numerous felsic units. A NI 43-101 technical report has been completed in August 2024.

In the United States, the Company is advancing its Fremont Gold project. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled and 23 km of underground workings. It was previously mined at 10.7 g/t Au in the 1930's.

Mining was halted in 1942 due the gold mining prohibition in World War Two (WWII) just as it was ramping up production. Unlike typical brownfield projects that are mined out, only 8% of the veins have been exploited. The Company is the first owner to investigate an underground high grade mine potential at Fremont.

The project is located on 3,351 acres of private and patented land in Mariposa County. The asset is a 4 km strike on the prolific 190 km Mother Lode Gold Belt, California that produced over 50,000,000 oz of gold and is instrumental in the creation of the towns, the businesses and infrastructure in the 1800s gold rush. It is 1.5 hours from Fresno, California. The property has year-round road access and is close to airports and rail.

Previously, in March 2023 the company completed an NI 43 101 Preliminary Economic Assessment(" PEA"). A sensitivity to the March 31, 2023 PEA at USD $2,000/oz gold gives an after-tax NPV of USD $370M and a 31% IRR over an 11-year LOM. At $1,750 /oz gold, NPV (5%) is $217M. The project hosts an NI 43-101 resource of 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au within 19.0 MT Indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au within 28.3 MT Inferred. The MRE evaluates only 1.4 km of the 4 km strike of Fremont property. Three step-out holes at depth (up to 1200 m) hit structure and were mineralized.

All NI 43-101 technical reports are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.lode-gold.com)
