FREEGOLD INTERSECTS 2.72 G/T AU OVER 139.9 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). Assays have now been reported for 29 of the 41 holes completed.

GS2425 -- significant mineralization to depth west of Willow:

• 2.72 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 139.9 metres from 401.4 metres;
• Including three metres of 44.7 g/t Au and 2.7 metres grading 59.5 g/t Au.

GS2426 -- higher grade within the south-southwestern trend:

• 1.93 g/t Au over 105 metres;
• Including 1.2 metres grading 44.1 g/t Au and 1.4 metres of 65.9 g/t Au.

The results of the program continue to showcase the strong potential of the Golden Summit project, highlighted by significant mineralization intercepted across broad areas. Two thousand twenty-four was pivotal, marked by a major resource update in September that increased both the total number of resource ounces and improved the overall resource grade. The 2024 drilling program was strategically designed to expand mineralization to the west, a decision aimed at enhancing the resource base and economic viability of the project. Additionally, the program included drilling specific metallurgical holes to conduct comprehensive metallurgical tests for optimizing the flowsheet design. These results will enable the company to proceed with economic studies, including trade-off analyses of capital expenditures (capex) and operating expenses (opex) in relation to gold recoveries, with the goal of maximizing economic returns.

Western expansion zone -- west of Willow Creek (WOW zone)

Twenty-six holes were drilled in the WOW zone to investigate multiple gold anomalies in soils. The soil anomaly extends 1.5 kilometres (km) west of the existing resource. The current and planned programs aim to increase the overall grade of the resource to enhance future economic returns. This anomaly could expand the project's resource base and influence its future economic potential. The 2025 program will focus on testing the depth extent of the higher-grade zones discovered during the 2024 program and further exploring the mineralization to the west in the WOW zone. An updated mineral resource will be completed upon receiving the final assay results from 2024, followed by the initiation of a prefeasibility study.

Hole GS2423, situated west of Willow Creek, is aligned within the southwestern geochemical trend. It has intersected mineralization that not only exceeds resource grade from near the surface but also demonstrates substantial mineralization at depth, with an intersection of 1.47 g/t Au over 35.7 metres at 508.1 metres. In the WOW zone, the orientation of the mineralization appears to change west of 478400E; as such, GS2424 has effectively intercepted the downdip extent of the north-dipping mineralization.

GS2425 was a vertical hole that successfully extended mineralization to depth, intersecting several zones with grades exceeding one g/t Au. The most significant intercept was 2.72 g/t Au over 139.9 metres, starting from a depth of 401.4 metres. This included a notable section of 11.6 g/t Au over 27.1 metres, which featured three metres of 44.7 g/t Au and another 2.7 metres at 59.5 g/t Au. Additionally, a further zone of 5.26 g/t Au over 13.4 metres was encountered, including 3.1 metres at 18.2 g/t Au. The hole was terminated prematurely and this zone represents an excellent follow-up opportunity for the 2025 program.

GS2426 was a near vertical at minus 86 and again demonstrates the potential for higher grade at depth intersecting 1.93 g/t Au over 105 metres from 405 metres, including 44.1 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 65.9 g/t Au over 1.4 metres. The hole bottomed in 18 metres grading 2.03 g/t Au.

GS2427 was drilled to the north immediately to the west of Willow Creek, where the mineralization continues to dip to the south. It intersected 1.07 g/t Au over 245.7 metres starting from 228.9 metres, including three metres of 23.3 g/t Au.

Hole GS2428 was the farthest-west hole drilled in 2024. Drilled vertically along the south-southwestern trend aligned with the historic Newsboy mine and along trend of the higher-grade Tolovana zone. The hole again demonstrates the potential for higher grade at depth, intersecting 1.14 g/t Au over 55.9 metres starting from 476 metres. This is the only hole drilled on that section to date and the updip extent remains to be tested. The hole intersected intermittent tonalite intrusive in the upper portion from 47 metres to 147 metres.

GS2429, another near vertical hole drilled on the southwesterly trend, again demonstrates the significant potential for higher grade at depth within the WOW zone. The hole was terminated prematurely and follow-up holes will be drilled to test the depth extent of this higher-grade zone in 2025.

Drilling was completed in early December and assays are from 12 holes are still pending. 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.

In addition to the drill program, Freegold is conducting comprehensive metallurgical, baseline environmental, cultural resource and wetland studies. These studies are integral to the company's exploration efforts, providing a thorough understanding of the potential of the project and ensuring responsible resource development.

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.
