Lode Gold's Spin Co, Gold Orogen, Unveils 2025 New Brunswick Exploration Targets; Identifies Gold-in-Soil and EM Anomalies at McIntyre Brook

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) has announced its subsidiary, gold orogen, will be spun out as a separate public company in March 2025, pending Exchange and Shareholder approval. The upcoming exploration targets for Gold Orogen's Phase 1 exploration program in New Brunswick have been defined, with a focus on the McIntyre Brook property. The company has reported gold-in-soil and EM anomalies, indicating highly prospective mineralized systems at McIntyre Brook.



The Heliborne HeliTEM² Survey revealed a series of EM conductors in the northeastern part of the McIntyre Brook Property, creating an open ellipsoid over a significant area. The initial soil geochemical survey conducted in November 2024 at the periphery of the southeast and northeast area of the conductors revealed the presence of gold-in-soil anomalies associated with Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), and Tungsten (W) anomalies. Additionally, a 275 ppb Au stream sediment anomaly downstream from the conductive area was identified, which is the highest value returned from the 1981 regional stream sampling program conducted in the area by the Geological Surveys Branch of the Government of New Brunswick.

These new results from McIntyre Brook reveal coincident gold-in-soil anomalies and prominent electromagnetic conductors, significantly enhancing the potential for a substantial gold-copper discovery. These promising targets are situated within the geologically favorable Wapske Formation, structurally defined by the McIntyre Brook and Ramsay Brook faults. Furthermore, analysis of new HeliTEM² magnetic and radiometric data has identified additional faulting and a coincident elevated radiometric signature, potentially indicative of rhyolites or hydrothermal activity-key indicators of significant gold mineralization in the Wapske Formation.

The area at McIntyre Brook has been designated a high-priority target for Gold Orogen's 2025 New Brunswick exploration program, offering considerable potential for a new gold discovery. The company will be conducting soil sampling and trenching in both the McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook areas, which will help generate and ultimately test drill targets. Field crews are expected to begin this work once the exploration plan is finalized.

The geological context of the McIntyre Brook property is characterized by its location within the Appalachian/Iapetus Gold Belt, the presence of the Wapske Formation, the structural control of the McIntyre Brook and Ramsay Brook faults, and the surrounding known mineralization trends. The property's geological context, combined with the positive exploration results to date, makes it a highly prospective target for gold exploration in the region.

In conclusion, Lode Gold's spin Co, Gold Orogen, has defined 2025 New Brunswick exploration targets, with a focus on the McIntyre Brook property. The company has reported gold-in-soil and EM anomalies, indicating highly prospective mineralized systems at McIntyre Brook. The geological context of the property, combined with the positive exploration results, makes it a highly prospective target for gold exploration in the region. The company will be conducting soil sampling and trenching in both the McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook areas, which will help generate and ultimately test drill targets.
