Q-Gold Resources announced an accelerated exploration and development strategy for its Fremont Gold Project in Mariposa County, United States — California. The plan involves a 3,500-meter drilling program in 2026 to support a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), targeted for completion by Q2 2027. Following the PFS, an additional 7,800-meter underground drilling program is planned for the Feasibility Study (FS) stage, with completion targeted by 2029. This strategy focuses on bulk underground mining, leveraging the project's strong geological continuity and growing Mineral Resource Estimate. The drilling aims to de-risk the project, improve geological confidence, and expand mineralization within the central Mother Lode structural corridor. The Fremont Gold Project, a brownfield site, has a significant historical database and is located in a Trump Administration Opportunity Zone, offering special tax incentives.
