Toronto Venture Stock Exchange: FMAN

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 12, 2022 – Freeman Gold Corp. ( TSXV:

FMAN, FSE: 3WU) (“Freeman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report it has received results

for 11 diamond drill holes from the Company’s 12,168 m Phase II resource expansion drill

program at its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Deposit , Idaho, USA . Ten of these drill holes were

designed to test mineralization on strike to t he east of the known deposit (expansion holes) and

one infill hole to improve the resource confidence in zones with historical drill holes (See Table 1

and Figures 1, 2 and 3.)

The expansion holes represent 20 to 80 met re step outs to the east of existing drilling where

mineralization is 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 7.6 8 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 Mat ysek, Executive Chairman, commented , “These first ten drill holes step out up to 80

metres along strike, adding approximately 20% to the known mineralized east-west strike length.

This initial batch of results gives us confidence that we will increase our overall gold resource and

likely improve the economics by adding crucial ounces within our eastern pit shell boundaries.

Similar drilling has been completed to test the west and north extents of the deposit and we eagerly

await the results.”

All holes drilled to date have intersected shallow oxide gold. Selected highlighted results from the

10 holes are 0.61 g/t Au over 90m , including 0.92 g/t Au over 15.97m (FG22-009C); 0.94 g/t

Au over 41m, including 1.67 g/t Au over 17m (FG22-014C); 0.73 g/t Au over 7. 5m (FG22-

002C; deepest mineralization drilled to date (340m) at Lemhi); and 2.1 g/t Au over 16m (FG22-

016C). Gold mineralization now extends to at least 348 metres and is open at depth. (See Table 1

and Figures 1, 2 and 3.)

Lemhi Gold Deposit:

As at October 11, 2022, a total of 50 new core drill holes have been completed at Lemhi for a total

of 12,168 metres. In addition, two reverse circulation (“RC”) holes totalling 402m were 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 h as

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 (See Figures 1, 2 and 3 .)

An additional 20 holes or approximately 4,000 m 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 ALS Global Laborato ries

(Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada, an independent and fully accredited laboratory

(ISO 9001:2008) for analysis for gold by Fire Assay and multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma

Spectroscopy (select drill holes). Freeman Gold has a regimente d Quality Assurance, Quality

Control (QA/QC) program where at least 10% duplicates, blanks and standards are inserted into

each sample shipment. Analytical results are pending.
