About the Company and Project
Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100%
owned Lemhi Gold project (the "
Project
"). The Project comprises 30 square kilometres of highly
prospective land, hosting a near-surface oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National
Instrument 43-101 ("
NI 43- 101
") compliant mineral resource estimate
is comprised of 988,100 ounces gold ("
oz Au
") at 1.0 gram per tonne ("
g/t
") in 30.02 million tonnes
(4.7 million tonnes Measured (168,800 oz) & 25.5 million tonnes Indicated (819,300 oz)) and
256,000 oz Au at 1.04 g/t Au in 7.63 million tonnes (Inferred). The Company is focused on growing
and advancing the Project towards a production decision. To date, 525 drill holes and
92,696 m
of
drilling has historically been completed (Murray K., Elfen, S.C., Mehrfert, P., Millard, J., Cooper,
Schulte, M.,
Dufresne
, M., NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment,
dated
November 20, 2023
;

).
The recently updated price sensitivity analysis (see Freeman's news release dated
April 9, 2025
)
shows a PEA with an after-tax net present value (5%) of
US$329 million
and an internal rate of
return of 28.2% using a base case gold price of
US$2,200
/oz; Average annual gold production of
75,900 oz Au for a total life-of-mine of 11.2 years payable output of 851,900 oz Au; life-of-
mine cash costs of US$925/oz Au; and, all-in sustaining costs of
US$1,105
/oz Au using an initial
capital expenditure of
US$215 million
*.
*Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral
resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no
certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
