About Lode Gold Resources Inc.

Lode Gold has key assets in Canada and United States.

The Fremont gold project (Fremont Gold Mining LLC) is a brownfield project in Mariposa, Calif., with 43,000 metres drilled, 8,000 channel samples, 14 adits and two shafts. Mining halted in 1942 due to a gold mining prohibition during the Second World War. It was mined at 10.7 grams per tonne when price of gold was $35 per ounce. A preliminary economic assessment was completed in 2023. The PEA was based on one million oz (measured and indicated) and two million oz (inferred). The MRE was updated in 2025. Ninety-two per cent of the ounces were left unmined. Average true widths at one g/t cut off are 53 metres. The project sits on 3,000 acres of 100-per-cent-owned private and patented land, which is designated as OZ, Trump administration opportunity zone (special tax incentives).

The Dingman property is an orogenic deposit in Ontario, Canada, with over 22,000 m drilled, and a 2013 PEA and mineral resource estimate: 376,000 oz (M&I) and 47,000 oz (inferred).

About Gold Orogen (1475039 B.C. Ltd.)

Gold Orogen is an early-stage exploration pure play with quality assets in the Yukon and New Brunswick, Canada. Optionality exists as assets are diversified on two mineral belts that are known to have prolific gold endowment.

The New Brunswick assets, McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook, sit on a highly prospective belt that has seen many exciting discoveries, including Dalradian, New Found Gold and Calibre Mining. Kinross-Puma surrounds McIntyre Brook. A 19.9-per-cent strategic partner was brought in, and a joint venture was formed to create one of the largest land packages in New Brunswick with mineral rights spanning 445 square kilometres.

In the Yukon, Golden Culvert/WIN sits on the southern end of the Tombstone belt, which in recent years has seen extensive exploration success. It has reduced intrusion (RIRGS) targets and sedimentary-hosted orogenic mineralization. Over 4,500 m have been drilled with 50 gram per metre intercepts.
