FREEGOLD EXTENDS MINERALIZATION TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST INTERSECTING 1.88 G/T AU OVER 54.2 METRES AND 1.58 G/T AU OVER 60 METRES AT GOLDEN SUMMIT

Freegold Ventures Ltd. has released additional assay results from its 2024 drilling program. A total of 41 holes were completed, totalling 25,708 metres (m). The program's primary objectives were to expand mineralization to the west and to support further metallurgical testing. Large-diameter holes were drilled at specific locations for this purpose. The continuing metallurgical test work is expected to take several additional months to complete and the results will be used to optimize the flowsheet design, enabling the company to proceed with economic studies.

GS2422 -- higher grade at depth and to the west:

• 157 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over three metres from 299 metres;
• 1.88 g/t Au over 54.2 metres starting at 499.8 metres;
• 1.58 g/t Au over 60 metres from 743 metres.

GS2417 -- higher grade within the south-southwest trend:

• 1.25 g/t Au over 56.5 metres from 24 metres;
• 196.5 g/t Au over 1.7 metres from 298.5 metres.

An extensive soil geochemical program was conducted prior to drilling in the promising western expansion zone. This program revealed multiple gold anomalies in the soil, extending 1.5 kilometres west of the existing resource area. Key geochemical trends were identified, including a significant east-west orientation and a strong south-southwest trend that aligns directly with the historic Newsboy mine. This underscores the area's substantial potential for resource expansion.

To the east of Willow Creek, all drilling conducted by Freegold shows that the higher-grade mineralization dips to the south. As a result, drilling at Golden Summit is usually directed to the north. In contrast, the higher-grade mineralization at the historic Newsboy mine, situated west of Willow Creek, dips to the north. This appears to indicate a dip change likely caused by faulting.

Holes GS2411, GS2413, GS2415, GS2416 and GS2417 tested the mineralization to the north within the east-west geochemical trend in the WOW zone (West of Willow Creek). While these holes encountered mineralization, the widths were narrower than those in the main Dolphin/Cleary area. This suggests a change in the overall dip of the mineralization. Consequently, these northern holes may have been drilled over the top of the main mineralization trend.

Hole G2417, which lies west of Willow Creek, is oriented within the south-southwest geochemical trend. GS2417 intersected several strong zones of mineralization better than resource grade from near the surface, which appear to follow the southern dip of the higher-grade mineralization seen within the central Dolphin/Cleary resource.

No significant values were intersected in GS2415.

Three holes were drilled to investigate a potential change in the overall dip of the mineralization further. Holes GS2419, GS2420 and GS422 were drilled from the same pad, directed south and north, and vertically. This drilling aimed to enhance the company's understanding of the orientation of the mineralization in the WOW zone.

Results from holes GS2419 and GS2422 indicate significant potential for expansion to the south and west, and at depth. Hole GS2422, drilled vertically, demonstrates promising indications of higher-grade mineralization at depth, with several intercepts exceeding resource grade. Notably, one intercept intercepted 54.8 metres with a grade of 1.88 g/t Au, while another intersected 60 metres grading of 1.58 g/t Au. Results indicate a significant change in the dip of mineralization from south to north as the company moves southwest toward the historic Newsboy.

Drilling was completed in early December and the company is still awaiting a significant number of assay results. The results from the 2024 drilling program will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate set to be released later this year as part of Freegold's efforts to advance the project toward prefeasibility. Assay results have been reported for 22 of the 41 drilled holes.

In addition to the continuing drill program, metallurgical, baseline environmental, cultural resource and wetland studies remain continuing.

A sample quality control/quality assurance program has been in place throughout the program. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS Laboratories. Core samples were prepared in ALS's facility using the PREP-31BY package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70 per cent, passing a two-millimetre (mm) (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Std. No. 10) screen. A split of one kilogram (kg) is taken and pulverized to better than 85 per cent passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, U.S. Std. No. 200) screen; a portion of this pulverized split is digested by four-acid digestion and analyzed via ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry) (method code ME-ICP61). Fire assay analyzes all samples with an AAS (atomic absorption) finish, using method code Au-AA23 (30-gram sample size) and over 10 g/t, which are automatically assayed using a fire assay gravity method, Au-GRAV21. Additional Au screening is performed using ALS's Au-SCR24 method; select samples are dry screened to 100 microns. A duplicate 50-gram fire assay is conducted on the fine fraction and an assay is conducted on the entire oversize fraction. Total Au content, individual assays and weight fractions are reported. Analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS's North Vancouver and Reno facilities.

A QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) program included laboratory and field standards inserted every 10 samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal and at least one blank every 25 standards.
