2025 PROGRAM
Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OTCQX: FGOVF) is pleased to report results from the first five (5) drill holes at Golden Summit which represents all assays received. The 2025 drilling program aims to upgrade inferred mineral resources to indicated resources through targeted infill drilling, geotechnical drilling, and metallurgical test holes.
29 holes (18,361m) have been completed, and four drill holes are in progress. Two large-diameter core holes (PQ) were drilled for further metallurgical testing. Geotechnical drilling, along with geochemical and metallurgical testing, is being carried out to enhance processing techniques.
In preparation for the upcoming planned pre-feasibility study, other site activities include:
Metallurgical testing is currently underway at BaseMet Labs in Kamloops, BC. A new master composite, consisting of over 1,500 kg of material sourced from 12 drill holes, has been prepared.
The main objectives of the 2025 program using this new master composite are as follows:
Begin optimizing the key economic drivers of the process flowsheet design, which includes:
Two holes from the 2025 drill program, designated as PQ core GS2507 and GS2512, have been received at BaseMet and will be integrated into the ongoing PQ core test program once assays are received. This program aims to evaluate the comminution parameters of the Golden Summit deposit across various lithologies, alteration, and locations.
Wow Zone – GS2502 and GS2505
Infill drilling within the WOW Zone is ongoing and continues to confirm the presence of higher-grade material in this promising area. Hole GS2502 was drilled to the northwest and intersected 4.28 g/t Au over 28.7m, from a depth of 44.2m, with an additional 4.20 g/t Au over 9m from a depth of 305.9 meters. Hole GS2505 drilled to the north and collared 150m southeast of GS2502 returned 2.31 g/t Au over 65.4m from 424.4m.

Cleary Hill Area – Holes GS2501 and GS2503
GS2501 – located in the Cleary Hill Area, was drilled to the north and was intended to help define the northern limits of the deposit in the Cleary area. Hole GS2503 was drilled 250m to the southeast of GS2501 and served as an infill hole. It intersected 0.93g/t Au over 77.6m from surface and several higher-grade zones, including 1.36 g/t Au over 36.6m from a depth of 425.8m. A high-grade intercept of 62.3 g/t Au over 2.7m was also returned from 508.1 – 510.8m.

Dolphin Area – GS2504
GS2504 was drilled on the northeastern flank of the Dolphin Zone, further infilling this area and providing additional confirmation of broader zones of higher grade through infill drilling. A high-grade intercept of 81.45 g/t Au over 0.6m was also intercepted at 100.3m, and a wider zone of 1.41 g/t over 119m was also intercepted from a depth of 264m.

HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by MSA Laboratories in Fairbanks, Alaska. At MSALABS, the entire sample will be dried and crushed to 70% passing -2mm (CRU-CPA). A ~500g riffle split will be analyzed for gold using CHRYSOS PhotonAssay™ (CPA-Au1). From this, 250g will be further riffle split from the original PhotonAssay™ sample, pulverized, and a 0.25g sub-sample analysed for multi-element geochemistry using MSA’s IMS230 package, which includes 4-acid digestion and ICP-MS finish. MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 certified quality systems. A QA/QC program includes laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards.
