Founded by geologists that have a track record of making multi-million-ounce gold discoveries, Fremont Gold Ltd. (FRE: TSXV; FRERF: OTCQB) has assembled a portfolio of quality gold projects located in Nevada's most prolific gold trends. Fremont’s property portfolio includes North Carlin, a new discovery opportunity, Cobb Creek, which hosts a historic resource, Griffon, a past producing gold mine, and Hurricane, which has returned significant gold intercepts in past drilling.

Fremont recently announced its plans to drill North Carlin later this month. Situated in the right geological setting for the discovery of a major gold deposit, Fremont has developed several drill targets based on soil geochemistry, gravity and geomagnetic surveys, and the projection of key faults that control gold mineralization in the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend is one of the richest gold mining districts in the world having produced over 84 million ounces of gold since the early 1960s.

Fremont is permitting ten drill sites at North Carlin and plans to drill a minimum of 1,500 metres in a reverse circulation drill program commencing later this month.
