RE: FREMONT GOLD CORPORATION
FILE REF. NO. 33-0773-A
I was previously the principal auditor for Fremont Gold Corporation (formerly
known as The Rothchild Companies, Inc.) and, under the date of February 20,
1996, I reported on the financial statements of The Rothchild Companies, Inc.
as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. On February 11,
1997, my appointment as principal auditor was terminated. I have read the
Fremont Gold Corporation's statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K
dated February 11, 1997 and I agree with such statements.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Thomas Klash
