Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX:LGD) (OTCQX: LGDTF) is pleased to report further Reverse Circulation drill results from the Rangefront, CD and E zones at its Black Pine oxide gold project in southeastern Idaho. The results are part of a 65,000 metre 2022 drill program at Black Pine to upgrade and expand the current Mineral Resource Estimate and discover new oxide gold mineralization. The drill results in this release confirm resource growth along the north and west side of the Rangefront Zone and along the western margin of the main Black Pine gold system in the E and CD Zones. Importantly, the system remains open laterally in all these zones for which pending assays and more drilling will better inform the extent of the mineralization.

The resource expansion drilling announced today has:

• Successfully extended high-grade oxide gold mineralization in the Rangefront Zone along the northern and western edges of the zone, including:
  • Step-Out of 1.11 grams per tonne gold over 68.6 m including 1.65 g/t Au over 16.8 m in LBP726
  • 0.59 g/t Au over 38.1 metres and 0.65 g/t Au over 70.1 m in LBP722 that will contribute to the Rangefront Zone expansion
• Encountered shallow oxide gold mineralization along the western edge of the E Zone extending down-dip to the west of the current MRE, including:
  • 0.55 g/t Au over 48.8 m in LBP677
  • 0.36 g/t Au over 97.5 m in LBP680
• Delineated gold mineralization along the southwest edge of the CD Zone within and immediately southwest of the current resource pit, including:
  • 0.42 g/t Au over 42.7 m and 0.42 g/t Au over 21.3 m in LBP622

Three RC drills are currently turning on the property and drilling will continue, weather permitting, through the winter. The Black Pine resource model will be updated progressively over the next months as assays become available and work remains on track for a new resource estimate release in the first quarter 2023.

Jason Attew, President and CEO of Liberty Gold commented, “While we are advancing the Black Pine project toward development through acquisition of land, water and mineral rights, and metallurgical and infrastructure studies, the project is still very much an exploration story. This is evident from our active exploration drill programs, which continue to identify high-grade oxide and expand gold mineralization along the margins of the Black Pine gold system. We look forward to further exploration drilling over the coming year on several blue-sky targets and expect to build gold ounces onto the updated and expanded MRE.”

RANGEFRONT ZONE EXPANSION

A significant discovery in the Rangefront Zone was announced on September 1, 2021, subsequent to the release of the maiden Black Pine MRE. It is characterized by the presence of multiple, stacked horizons of oxide gold mineralization, which commonly exceed 100 m in true thickness. The Rangefront Zone was extensively drilled during the winter months into 2022, defining a zone of gold mineralization extending over an approximately 1 square kilometre (“km²”) area (see press release dated February 23, 2022). Drilling at Rangefront resumed during the summer months in 2022, targeting further expansion of the zone to the north and west. Oxide gold mineralization was successfully extended northward along the 1 km-long northern edge of the deposit. In addition, two holes drilled along the western margin of the zone encountered oxide gold mineralization that is higher-grade than modeled and open to the west.

Follow-up drilling is proceeding in both areas, as well as additional resource upgrade drilling across the Rangefront, with the objective of achieving a drill density sufficient to be classified as indicated resource in the upcoming resource estimate.

RANGEFRONT ZONE HIGHLIGHT TABLE*

*Please refer to the full table at the link above for complete results. Results are reported as drilled thicknesses, with true thicknesses approximately 50% to 90% of drilled thickness. Gold grades are uncapped. Au (g/t) = grams per tonne of gold. The base of the zone is situated at the lowest structural level of the deposit, such that carbonaceous material is frequently encountered at the base of the oxide zone, leading to reduced cyanide solubility at depth.

E ZONE EXPANSION DRILLING

Gently east-dipping gold mineralization that characterizes most of the Black Pine Gold system rolls over at the crest of the Black Pine range in the vicinity of the E Zone and dips westward. Drill holes targeting this westward-dipping portion of the E Zone successfully encountered near-surface oxide gold mineralization over significant widths, expanding the zone westward over 150 m down-slope to the west.   Extensive gold-in-soil anomalies in the area suggest the presence of a broader zone of mineralization than currently drill tested, with more drilling planned in the future.

*Please refer to the full table at the link above for complete results. Results are reported as drilled thicknesses, with true thicknesses approximately 50% to 90% of drilled thickness. Gold grades are uncapped. Au (g/t) = grams per tonne of gold.

CD ZONE EXPANSION DRILLING

Additional drilling was carried out along the southwest edge of the CD zone, encountering multiple stacked zones of oxide gold extending mineralization from the current resource, both within and along the margins of the CD Zone current resource pit. Mineralization in this area is open for expansion in all directions both parallel and perpendicular to the current resource pit margin. Additional drilling is planned for mid-2023.

CD ZONE HIGHLIGHT TABLE*

*Please refer to the full table at the link above for complete results. Results are reported as drilled thicknesses, with true thicknesses approximately 50% to 90% of drilled thickness. Gold grades are uncapped. Au (g/t) = grams per tonne of gold.

ABOUT LIBERTY GOLD

Liberty Gold is focused on exploring for and developing open pit oxide deposits in the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be mined profitably in open- pit scenarios. Our flagship projects are Black Pine in Idaho and Goldstrike in Utah, both past- producing open-pit mines, where previous operators only scratched the surface.
