About Lode Gold Resources Inc.

Lode Gold has key assets in Canada and United States.

The Fremont gold mine project (Fremont Gold Mining LLC) is a brownfield project in Mariposa, Calif., with 43,000 metres drilled, 10,000 underground channel samples, 14 adits and two shafts. Mining halted in 1942 due to the gold mining prohibition during the Second World War. It was mined at 10.7 grams per tonne when the price of gold was $35 per ounce. A preliminary economic assessment was completed in 2023. The PEA was based on 1.16 million ounces at 1.90 g/t Au within 19.0 million tonnes indicated, and 2.02 million ounces at 2.22 g/t Au within 28 Mt inferred with a composite cut-off. Average true widths at one g/t cut-off is 53 metres. A mineral resource estimate was updated in 2026. Eighty-nine per cent of the ounces were left unmined if the company compares historical production with its current indicated resource. The project sits on greater than 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 metres drilled, with a 2013 PEA and an MRE: 376,000 oz at 0.94 g/t within 12.5 Mt measured and indicated and 47,000 oz at 0.71 g/t within 2.1 Mt inferred.
