Drill Results Exploration Programs

FREEMAN CONFIRMS AND EXPANDS HISTORICAL GOLD

MINERALIZATON, COMPLETES 7,000 METRES OF DIAMOND

DRILLING AT LEMHI

• Expanded drill program consisting of 7,149m of core drilling completed over 35

drill holes

• Visible gold observed in 17 of the 26 logged holes to date

• All holes have intersected mineralization and geology consistent with Freeman’s

geological model and understanding.

CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE: FMAN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALMON, IDAHO– December 16, 2020 – Freeman Gold Corp. (CSE:FMAN) (FSE:3WU) (“Freeman”

or the “Company”) Will Randall, President and CEO, is pleased to provide an update for its 100% owned

Lemhi gold project, located in Idaho, USA (“Lemhi” or “Project”).

Two diamond drill rigs completed 35 cored drill holes totaling 7,149 m (please refer to Table 1 for further

details). The drilling campaign confirmed the presence of numerous structurally controlled stacked, flat

lying gold mineralized horizons initially identified by 70,196 meters of historical drilling conducted

between 1984 and 2012. Detailed geological logging of the new core has also identified mineralized zones

of varying thicknesses, ranging from 10 to over 100 metres similar to that found in previous historic drilling

and drill sections. Core samples have been sent to ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC, and results are

expected in the next 4 to 8 weeks. To date, 1,805 drill core and rock grab sample s and 358 soil samples

have arrived at ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC . ALS is currently quoting turn -around times

exceeding 60 days for analytical services. An additional 275 soil samples were sent to SGS Canada Inc.,

Burnaby, BC.

Will Randall, President & CEO, commented, “During the execution of our first 5,000 metre twin and infill

diamond drill program it became clear that historically defined zones have greater continuity than expected.

As a result, we extended our Phase 1 diamond drill campaign to include additional infill and step out holes

designed to test zones beyond historical limits. We are extremely pleased with this initial drill progr am,

both the execution in challenging times as well as the extent and thickness of the flat lying mineralized

structures. We have successfully confirmed and extended the presence of these stacked mineralized

structures over a 600 x 700 metre area from surf ace down to over 2 60 metres deep. We look forward to

updating shareholders as assay results become available.”
