Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD, OTCQB: LODFF) announced that subsidiary Fremont Gold Mining fully repaid its long-term senior Secured Loan, totaling approximately US$3.6 million in principal and accrued interest, well before the loan’s amended maturity of May 1, 2028. With this repayment, the Fremont Gold Mine property in Mariposa County, California will be released from its security pledge, and Lode Gold and its subsidiaries will have no remaining loan obligations.
According to Lode Gold, the early repayment also qualifies the company for a rebate of 50% of a 2% loan extension fee, lowering financing costs and further strengthening its balance sheet. The company highlights plans to advance Fremont through infill, metallurgical and geotechnical drilling in 2026 and to complete a Preliminary Feasibility Study targeted for July 2027, while also evaluating a potential spin-out of its Dingman gold asset in Ontario.
