Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD) (OTCQX: LGDTF) is pleased to report additional reverse circulation and core drill results from the 2025 drilling program at the Black Pine Oxide Gold Project in southeastern Idaho, USA. The results reflect infill and targeted step-out drilling designed to validate geological continuity, improve confidence in the spatial distribution of mineralized domains and expand the resource ahead of the upcoming feasibility study.
Drilling at the Discovery Zone continues to confirm expected continuity of oxide gold mineralization within areas of historically sparse drilling. Results from the Rangefront Zone continue to exceed expectations both within the core of the ore body and expanding mineralization on the margins. The majority of the reported holes are located within or immediately adjacent to existing pit designs and are intended to tighten classification confidence and convert waste blocks into resource where drilling was sparse.

* Results are reported as drilled thickness, true thickness is approximately 70-100% of drilled thickness. Please refer to the full table at the link below for complete results
“These results continue to demonstrate the remarkable continuity of the Black Pine mineralized system and its ability to surprise with continued growth and new high-grade zones,” said Pete Shabestari, Vice President of Exploration. “The infill drilling is confirming what we already know – we are tightening our geological model ahead of feasibility where historical drill coverage was low and in the higher grade domains. This past year’s drilling has also confirmed that Rangefront remains wide open for expansion, with a current footprint of 1500 meters by 1000 meters, and based on this year’s results, we still have a lot of work to do.”

Drilling in 2025 included infill/offset RC drilling, geotechnical and metallurgical core drilling, sonic drilling in the historic heap leach pad and the installation of a network of new water monitoring wells. No exploration drilling on the numerous outlying and internal target areas was conducted in 2025, and these areas are expected to be drill tested systematically as the project progresses through the mine planning and the permitting process.
The 2025 drilling program, completed at the end of December, totaled approximately 40,000 m. Assay results for 50 drill holes are still pending, with delivery expected through February. Feasibility resource modelling is near completion and will incorporate approximately 60,000 m of new drilling in 250 drill holes, with completion targeted for Q1 2026.
