Lode Gold (LODFF) has submitted all discharge documents to release the company from its senior secured debt obligations, which were secured against the Fremont Gold Mine, as of September 22, 2026.
Upon completion of the discharge process, Fremont will be free of encumbrance and Lode Gold and its subsidiaries will have no outstanding loan obligations. The company plans over the next six months to develop a preliminary mine plan for Fremont to support environmental studies and permitting. Lode Gold highlights Fremont as its flagship asset with a 2023 PEA based on 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au inferred, and notes a 2026 MRE update indicating 89% of the ounces remain unmined versus historical production.
Lode Gold Resources (LODFF) is expanding its ongoing drill program at the 100%-owned Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California by adding four new drill pads through an amendment to its existing drill permit.
New pads PT-J 011 and PT-J 012 will host metallurgical core holes to collect PQ-diameter samples, supporting recovery mapping and geometallurgical domain modeling for future feasibility-level engineering studies. Pads HGD-002 and HGD-003 will be used for vertical hydrogeological holes, enabling in-situ permeability testing, hydrological monitoring, and step-out exploration in currently untested zones that may provide resource expansion upside.
Lode Gold (LODFF) supports Mariposa County’s decision to make mining the first focus of its new economic development initiative and forthcoming Mining Strategic Plan.
The County aims to encourage investment, streamline permitting and attract workers, which Lode Gold believes will help advance its Fremont gold project toward a Pre‑Feasibility Study and later a Feasibility Study. Fremont is a brownfield mine in Mariposa with 43,000 m drilled, 10,000 underground channel samples, 14 adits and 2 shafts, and more than 3,000 acres of 100% owned private and patented land in a designated Opportunity Zone. A 2023 PEA used 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au (19.0 Mt Indicated) and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au (28 Mt Inferred), and the mineral resource estimate was updated in 2026. Lode Gold also holds the Dingman property in Ontario with a 2013 PEA and defined resources.
Lode Gold (OTCQB: LODFF) has expanded the Technical Advisory Board for its Fremont Gold Mine by adding mine engineer Roberto Llovet Vázquez, who has over a decade of underground operations experience and a track record of doubling production and halving costs at multiple projects.
According to Lode Gold, Roberto’s background spans mine development from PEA to definitive feasibility and production optimization in Spain, Peru, and Mexico. He joins an advisory group covering geology, engineering, and permitting, including Bill Fisher, Gary Wong, David Gunning, Carlos Saban, Jonathan Hill, and permitting lawyer Martin Stratte.
The release also outlines Lode Gold’s key assets: the Fremont Gold Mine Project in California, with a 2023 PEA and a 2026 updated mineral resource estimate, and the Dingman gold property in Ontario, both described with drill metres and NI 43‑101 compliant resources.
Lode Gold (OTCQB: LODFF) has commenced metallurgical drilling at its flagship Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa, California. A specialized metallurgical and engineering firm will oversee PQ core sampling, flowsheet design, and trade-off studies between gravity and flotation recovery to optimize future CAPEX and OPEX.
The work focuses on zones targeted for mine development and builds on a 2014 metallurgical report that confirmed 91% recovery. Fremont is a brownfield project with a 2023 PEA based on 1.16 Moz indicated and 2.02 Moz inferred resources, and an updated 2026 mineral resource estimate.
Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD, OTCQB: LODFF) appointed mining-focused investor Qi Guo, founder, CEO and portfolio manager of EDE Asset Management, to its Board of Directors.

Lode Gold (OTCQB: LODFF) received a three-year Administrative Use Permit from Mariposa County, authorizing surface exploration and drilling on its 100% privately owned patented land at the flagship Fremont Gold Mine in California. The permit supports a planned 3,500–4,500 m drilling program in the second half of 2026 to advance technical work for a Prefeasibility Study targeted for 2027.
The summer 2026 campaign will focus on metallurgical optimization (building on prior 91% gold recovery test work), geotechnical and rock mechanics studies, infill drilling to support potential Indicated-to-Reserve conversion, and dual-purpose hydrogeological drilling. Lode Gold also highlights exploration upside across a 4 km strike and reports a 2023 PEA at Fremont based on 1.16 Moz at 1.90 g/t Au Indicated and 2.02 Moz at 2.22 g/t Au Inferred, plus additional resources at its Dingman project in Ontario.
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.

The Phase 1 program totals 3,500 m, including 1,400 m of metallurgical and geotechnical drilling, 600 m of hydrological and infill drilling in the Pine Tree–Josephine area, and 1,500 m of step-out drilling at Chicken Gulch. Phase 2 will test additional high-priority targets such as Rosie Jane and Drunken Gulch outside the central trend. According to Lode Gold, Fremont’s 2026 mineral resource estimate includes over 1 Moz of Indicated and 2 Moz of Inferred resources, with only about 20% of the structure explored and average true widths of 53 m at a 1 g/t cut-off, all on more than 3,000 acres of 100% owned private land.
