Fremont Gold (FRE.V) announced last week it has added the Roberts Creek claim block to its land package adjacent to McEwen Mining’s (MUX, MUX.TO) Gold Bar mine in Nevada. The main reason for Fremont Gold to add the 132 mining claims to its land position is the occurrences of jasperoid rocks as an outcrop on the surface. Considering Jasperoid rocks are often associated with Carlin-style deposits, Fremont deemed these claims to be of interest, specifically because those Jasperoid rocks originally led to the discovery of the Gold Bar deposit.
The Roberts Creek claim block also hosts a zone where no less than three fault zones are intersecting each other, and Fremont will very likely want to follow up on this geological feature as soon as possible.
