Northern provides results from Burro Creek Gold/Silver property
by Jo Black

Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. announces results from an additional five drill holes at the Burro Creek Gold/Silver Property located in northwestern Arizona, U.S.A. The main focus of the drill program is to confirm and update historical results on an open pit type epithermal gold/silver mineralized zone on the property and to drill test areas on the property with potential to discover additional mineralization within the epithermal vein system. The drill program was completed April 11, 2008 with 33 holes, totaling 2,565m (8,414 feet) drilled along the vein system.

Susan Craig, President said, these drill results at Burro Creek confirm historical results from the property and reflect Northern Freegold’s goal of developing resources and building reserves. Results from the remaining 26 drill holes, some of which were drilled to test the vein along strike and to depth, will provide further insight into the potential to expand the historical resources.
