Fremont says McEwen buys project adjacent to Gold Bar

Vancouver-based Fremont Gold has announced that it will sell its rights and interests in the Gold Canyon project, in Nevada, for 300 000 shares in NYSE- and TSX-listed McEwen Mining.

Gold Canyon is surrounded by claims that comprise McEwen’s Gold Bar mine and is one of five satellite pits to the original Gold Bar mine, that operated from 1986 to 1994.
