Freegold Ventures
Freegold is a Canadian gold exploration and development company which has assembled a senior, production-orient-ed management team over the past two years. Freegold's team has an excellent track record, having taken 5 companies to production in the past, and having created over $1 billion of new market capitalization in the process. This team has collectively been involved in the start-up, acquisition, financial turnaround and operation of 11 separate gold producers, with an aggregate production of 1,535,000 oz gold and 9,600,000 oz silver. With this experience, an excellent portfolio of North American projects, new supportive shareholders including Sprott Asset Management and Rob McEwen, and a sound capital/financial structure, Freegold is well along its own path to sustained gold production. Freegold's current assets include three advanced-stage gold projects: the Almaden project in Idaho, and the Golden Summit and Vinasale projects in Alaska. In addition Free-gold is actively exploring its Rob project, an early-stage exploration project also in Alaska.
