FREEMAN GOLD ANNOUNCES PHASE 2 LEMHI RESOURCE EXPANSION

AND BEAUTY ZONE DRILL PROGRAM

Phase 2 – >4,000 m diamond drill program

- >3,200 metres testing strike extensions, primarily to the east and west of the current

resource

- 400 metre drill hole to test depth extent of gold mineralization at Lemhi

- 400 metres of exploration drill holes at the Beauty Zone

CANADIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE: FMAN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 27, 202 1 – Freeman Gold Corp. (CSE: FMAN,

OTCQB: FMANF, FSE: 3WU) (“ Freeman” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce its Phase 2

diamond drill program at the Lemhi Gold Deposit (“Lemhi”) and the new Beauty Zone (“Beauty Zone”).

The proposed >4,000 m drill program focuses on adding near surface, oxide ounces to the recently reported

maiden Mineral Resource Estimate on July 8, 2021. Drilling will also test the recently de lineated Beauty

Zone which lies approximately 600 metres west of Lemhi and host to a number of high-grade gold rock

samples and coincident gold soil geochemistry.

“We are embarking on a second phase of diamond drilling focusing on ground (patented mining claims)

that gives Freeman the highest probability of adding ounces to our resource base. The on-strike east and

west extensions at Lemhi are key as these would provide new ounces within our current conceptual pit

outline. As well, the Lemhi deposit has never been tested at depth beyond 286 met res where a number of

holes were terminated in gold mineralization. Freeman plans to test mineralization at depth with at least

one >400 m drill hole. We are also excited about testing the newly identified high grade Beauty Zone which

returned 52 rock samples over 1 gram per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) and 28 over 10 g/t Au with coincident

anomalous gold soil geochemistry,” remarked Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman.

Over 90% of the total drilling is anticipated to occur at Lemhi, while the remaining drilling will test the

Beauty Zone. Of the 3,600 metres to be drilled at Lemhi, 3,025 metres are focused on resource expansion

on strike down to a maximum depth of 300 metres below surface. These holes will follow up on drill holes

from previous campaigns that remain open, such as FG20 -24C which returned 0.4 g/t Au over 72 metres

on section 429825N. One drill hole will test the depth potential at Lemhi down to 400 metres below surface;

the hole will also infill in the shallower portions between drill holes FG20 -17C (151m @ 2.5 g/t Au) and

35C (189m @ 0.54 g/t Au). A single infill hole is planned on section 429952N where a gap in the

mineralization is present.

All drill rock samples are sent to ALS Minerals Division, Vancouver, BC, an independent and fully

accredited laboratory in Canada for analysis for gold by Fire Assay and multi -element Induction Coupled

Plasma Spectroscopy. Freeman has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control program where at

least 10% duplicates, blanks and standards are inserted into each sample shipment. Rock grab samples are

by their nature selective and are not necessarily indicative of the general geology or the grade within the
