- The Bullfrog Gold Project is located in Nevada, the world’s most attractive mining jurisdiction, according to the Fraser Institute (http://nnw.fm/M33ak).
- M&I gold resources were independently estimated at 624,000 ounces, with a further 110,000 ounces of inferred resources
- Barrick Gold produced approximately one million ounces of gold from the lands now controlled by Bullfrog Gold, terminating operations in 1999 when gold prices fell below $290/oz.
- On May 29, 2020, the company was valued at $39 in terms of market cap /oz of M&I gold resources, a steep discount relative to the $130+/oz on for which Northern Empire was sold in 2018 (now NYSE: CDE) and Corvus (TSX: KOR) is currently valued using similar resource estimation criteria.
- The company recently completed a private placement of primary shares in January 2020, raising C$2.0 million. The proceeds will be used to complete work commitments necessary to purchase the Barrick lands and further its exploration and development activities.
- The company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growth in demand for gold, as well as the recent positive price action within the precious metals space.
- Bullfrog Gold Corp. was featured as a key recommendation in Nick Hodge’s Early Advantage newsletter on May 28, 2020, an influential investment newsletter highlighting high-potential small-cap companies.
Bullfrog Gold (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) is a Delaware corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in the United States. The company controls strategic lands with established 43-101 compliant resources in one of the most exciting gold exploration areas in the United States. The Bullfrog Gold Project (“Project”) includes a lease/option on much of the lands where Barrick Bullfrog Inc., a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp., produced more than 2.3 million ounces of gold and 2.49 million ounces of silver from 1989 to 1999. The Project is located within the prolific Walker Trend about 125 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Project Highlights
- The company initially acquired 79 unpatented claims and two patents in mid-2011 and has since staked, leased, optioned, or purchased lands that now total 5,250 acres. Via a 2015 lease/option with Barrick, the Project includes the northern one-third of the Bullfrog deposit where most of the current resources in the Bullfrog mine area occur, along with their interest in the Montgomery-Shoshone deposit which gave the company 100% control.
- In mid-2017, a NI 43-101-compliant report by independent mining consultancy Tetra Tech Inc. estimated measured and indicated (“M&I”) resources of 624,000 ounces of gold and 1.73 million ounces of silver at average grades of 0.70 g/t and 1.93 g/t, respectively. The expansion plans of these two pits were based on a $1200 gold price, use of heap leach processing, and also included 110,000 ounces of inferred gold resources averaging 1.20 g/t. Barrick used conventional milling to process an average gold grade of 3 g/t.
- The established resources and exploration potential of the Project are strongly supported by a large data base obtained from Barrick, including detailed information on 155 miles of drilling in 1,262 holes in the Bullfrog mine area.
