On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID- 19 outbreak a global health emergency.
Reactions to the spread of COVID -19 continue to lead to, among other things, significant restrictions on travel,
business closures, quarantines, and a general reduction in economic activity. While there has been a reduction in
these effects in recent months, the continuation and re-introduction of significant restrictions, business disruptions,
and related financial impact, and the duration of any such disruptions, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
The risks to Freegold of such public health crises also include risks to employee health and safety and a slowdown
or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an out break. Such public health crises,
as well as global geopolitical crises, can result in volatility and disruptions in the supply and demand for various
products and services, global supply chains, and financial markets, as well as declining trade and market sentiment
and reduced mobility of people, all of which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, and inflation. As a
result of the COVID-19 outbreak, Freegold has implemented a COVID management program and established a full -
service Camp at Golden Summit to attempt to mitigate risks to its employees, contractors, and community. While
the extent to which COVID -19 may impact Freegold is uncertain, it is possible that COVID- 19 may have a material
adverse effect on Freegold’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
