/CNW/ - Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (OTCQB: FMANF)
(FSE: 3WU) ("
Freeman
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has completed its
reverse circulation ("

") drilling program at the Lemhi Gold Project ("
Lemhi
" or the "
Project
").
The RC drill program consisted of approximately 2,860 metres of drilling in 30 drill holes. The drilling
was designed to:
1
.
Convert inferred ounces from the current mineral resource estimate ("
MRE
") (see Freeman's
news release dated
May 15, 2025
) to either measured or indicated (approximately 1,820
metres in 23 drill holes) for those ounces contained within the pit shell as designed as part of
Freeman's Preliminary Economic Assessment ("
PEA
") (see Freeman's news release dated
October 16, 2023
); and,
2
.
Complete further exploration to the north, south and at the Beauty Zone (approximately 1,040
metres in seven drill holes (see Figure
1).
Freeman anticipates receiving assay results from the RC program in early Q3 and will report results
as they become available.
Bassam Moubarak, CEO of Freeman, stated, "We are pleased have completed our RC drill
program on time and on budget. Results from this drilling will be used to update our existing MRE,
as well as show there is further exploration potential around the proposed pit. We look forward to
receiving an updated Plan of Operations that will enable us to assess exploration targets farther
from the current deposit."

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

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.
