VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – November 9, 2022 – Freeman Gold Corp. ( TSXV:
FMAN, OTCQX: FMANF, FSE: 3WU) (“ Freeman” or the “ Company”) is pleased to report
results of 15 diamond drill holes from the Company’s 12,000m Phase II resource expansion and
infill drill program at its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Deposit, Idaho, USA. Fourteen of these drill
holes were designed to test mineralization on strike to t he west of the known deposit (expansion
holes) and one infill hole to improve the resource confidence in zones with historical drill holes
(Figures 1, 2 and 3 attached and Table 1).
The expansion holes represent 20 to 166 metre step outs to the west of existing drilling where
mineralization is untested and open. These areas were previously modelled as unmineralized due
to lack of drilling in the initial maiden mineral resource estimate (“ MRE”). The current MRE
comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.94 million tonnes at 1.02 g/t Au for 749,800 oz of
gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 7.68 million tonnes at 1.01 g/t Au for 250,300 oz of gold
(refer to press release dated July 8, 2021). The MRE covers a surface area of 400 by 500 metres
and extends down to a depth of 180 metres below surface. The resource expansion holes that form
the bulk of the current Phase II drill program are designed to extend this current resource both
along strike and at depth.

Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman, commented, “Very positive news, these results clearly show
gold mineralization at Lemhi extends up to 166 metres along strike and to the west. Similar to our
results in the east, the Lemhi gold deposit is expanding in all directions where historical drilling
had not been conducted. This should add valuable ounces to our in pit mineral resource that is
currently considered waste.”
All holes drilled to date have intersected shallow oxide gold. Selected highlighted results from the
10 holes are 0.61 g/t Au over 66m, including 3.1 g/t Au over 5.0m (FG22-011C); 0.55 g/t Au
over 55m, including 1.1 g/t Au over 18.52m (FG22-001C); 0.34 g/t Au over 105.92m including
1.49 g/t over 7.0m (FG22-031C); 0.24 g/t Au over 156.69m including 2.1 g/t over 7.44m (FG21-
004C); 1.2 g/t Au over 24m (FG22-036C); 0.4 g/t Au over 41m (FG22-003C); and 1.5 g/t Au
over 9.0m (FG22-010C). Gold mineralization now extends to at least 166 metres to the west and
is open at depth. Drill sections for drill holes FG22-003C and FG22-036C are attached.

Lemhi Gold Deposit:
As of November 9, 2022, 50 new core drill holes for a total of 12,168 metres and seven reverse
circulation (“RC”) holes totalling 1,128 metres have been completed at Lemhi. These holes have
been primarily designed to test on strike extensions of the known resource as well as infill in certain
parts of the gold deposit. In particular, the drill program has focused on areas currently modelled
as pit waste because of no or sparse drill data. All ounces added in these areas, even if close to the
cut-off grade, will add value to the project as they come from zones in the resource shell that can
now be upgraded to resources (Figure s 1, 2 and 3 attached). An additional 20 holes or
approximately 4,000m have been planned as part of the Phase 3 RC drill program which is
ongoing.
All drill holes from the project have been logged, sampled and sent to the laboratory. Analytical
results are pending.
