What LODE Gold does

Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD; OTCQB: LODFF; formerly Stratabound Minerals Corp.) is a Canadian gold exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, with a portfolio of three orogenic-gold projects in North America. Its flagship is the brownfield Fremont Gold Mine in Mariposa County, California — 3,351 acres of 100%-owned private patented land in the Mother Lode Gold Belt hosting an updated NI 43-101 resource of 1.11 Moz M&I at 1.84 g/t Au and 1.98 Moz Inferred at 1.86 g/t Au, with a 2023 PEA modeling US$370M after-tax NPV (5%), 31% IRR, and an 11-year LOM at US$1,162/oz AISC. Supporting the portfolio are the early-stage Golden Culvert and WIN projects in Yukon (99.5 km² across a 27-km strike in the Tombstone Gold Belt) and the McIntyre Brook / Riley Brook projects in New Brunswick (collectively 754 km² in the Triple Fault / Appalachian-Iapetus belts), plus the Ontario-based Dingman Gold Project holding 376,000 oz M&I + 47,000 oz Inferred. The company holds no AI intellectual property of its own; its technical differentiator is the integration of VRIFY AI-driven target generation with a deep legacy dataset (over 38,000 samples including 7,000+ historical underground channel samples, 43,000m of drilling, and 23 km of pre-existing workings).

Lode Gold is pre-revenue and monetizes purely through asset development and capital markets. Funding to date has come via a series of private placements (notably a CA$5.1M raise led by Coast Capital and Eric Sprott's Jerritt Canyon Canada in September 2020) plus warrant exercises, with approximately US$4.27M generated from warrants in April 2026. Revenue model is dual-track: future operating cash flow from gold production — management targets 10,000-15,000 oz/yr from a pilot plant by 2028, ramping to 200,000 oz/yr by 2030 — and near-term corporate development transactions, including the February 2026 spin-out of Yukon/New Brunswick assets into Gold Orogen via RTO with Great Republic Mining on the CSE. The company is seeking a JV partner to advance Fremont post-expiration of a December 2025 LOI exclusivity, and received a May 2028 maturity extension on its construction loan from Romspen Investment Corporation. Customer-facing activity is limited to investor-relations channels (TSXV/OTCQB listings, PDAC presence, technical webinars).

The business serves institutional and retail mining-sector investors seeking exposure to advanced-stage North American gold assets, and (prospectively) mid-to-large-scale gold mining companies that may acquire or JV into Fremont once permitting and feasibility milestones are reached. Key risks are execution-related: the company is moving from explorer to developer without operating revenue or production history, mineable resource conversion at Fremont is still pending a Pre-Feasibility Study, the Mariposa County drill permit and CEQA review remain pending, and the JV-partner process must close on terms that fund construction.

Core offering

Lode Gold is a publicly listed mineral exploration and development company focused on discovering, acquiring, and developing orogenic gold projects in safe North American mining jurisdictions. The company holds a portfolio of three key projects: the advanced-stage Fremont Gold Mine in California (3,351 acres on patented land with 1.11 Moz M&I and 1.98 Moz Inferred gold), and early-stage Golden Culvert/WIN Projects in Yukon and McIntyre Brook/Riley Brook in New Brunswick. The company is pre-revenue and intends to advance Fremont toward pilot plant gold production of 10,000-15,000 ounces annually by 2028.

Product overview

Lode Gold is a North American gold exploration and development company with a portfolio of three key orogenic gold projects across safe mining jurisdictions. The company operates a single core business model focused on gold exploration and development rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

Supporting the portfolio are early-stage exploration assets including the Golden Culvert and WIN Projects in Yukon, and the McIntyre Brook and Riley Brook projects in New Brunswick (operated through Acadian Gold JV Co). The Dingman Gold Project in Ontario and the Gold Orogen subsidiary represent additional exploration and corporate development initiatives. The company does not offer software products, platforms, or technology-as-a-service offerings.
