Vancouver, BC – March 10th, 2026, Freegold Ventures Limited (“Freegold”) (TSX: FVL, OTCQX: FGOVF) is pleased to
report results from six additional drill holes completed at its Golden Summit project. Of these, three were drilled in the
Dolphin area and three in the Cleary area. The results from these holes continue to demonstrate robust continuity of
mineralization throughout the resource area. Notably, the Dolphin area results indicate the potential for higher -grade
mineralization within the main resource zone. These results also provide further validation of the current resource model,
confirming both its reliability and the potential for further growth at Golden Summit.
Both the already substantial size and exploration potential of the Golden Summit project clearly indicate that multiple
development strategies can be pursued. Building on the success of the 2025 program, the 2026 drill program will continue
to focus on tightening drill spacing to enhance the grade of the resource estimate prior to the pre-feasibility study (PFS). In
addition, geotechnical and supplementary metallurgical test holes will also be drilled. Pilot-scale testing on a sample
representative of the Golden Summit deposit is complete, and a flotation concentrate has been produced from a 1,500 kg
sample collected from 12 drill holes. This concentrate, which is less than 4% of the original material, will undergo additional
testing to refine the preferred oxidation or treatment process and determine the most effective pro cessing methods during
the PFS. So far, the prior oxidation test work has been highly successful, showing that total gold recoveries of over 90% are
achievable. Tailings from locked-cycle flotation tests using the same flowsheet as the pilot plant have been analyzed for
environmental characterization, including Acid Base Accounting (ABA) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedures
(TCLP). Tailings from the flotation-based flowsheet have been classified as low risk for acid generation due to the removal
of sulphur and the presence of significant amounts of calcium carbonate. More specifically, results showed the
Neutralization Potential to Acid Generating Potential ratio (NPR) of the flotation tailings was significantly above what is
typically classified as non -acid generating . While maximizing recovery and NAV remain the priority, the project's
substantial resource base may permit a simpler processing flow sheet, which could lower both upfront capital and operating
costs. This option will also be considered.
Two drill rigs are currently in operation, and a third crew is scheduled to arrive later this week. An additional three rigs will
be deployed over the next six weeks to accelerate the completion of the drill program
Dolphin Area
Drilled to continue to evaluate zone s of higher grade in the central Dolphin Area, Hole GSDL2537 demonstrates strong
mineralized continuity as well as increased grade intersecting 2.41 g/t Au over 18.9m as well as 1.46 g/t Au over 88.4m.

Hole GS2542
Hole GS2542 was strategically drilled in the central portion of the Dolphin area, with the primary objective of evaluating
the potential for higher-grade mineralization within the central Dolphin Zone. The results from this drill hole confirm
zones of higher-grade mineralization.
Several noteworthy higher-grade intercepts were encountered in hole GS2542. These results again highlight the potential
to delineate distinct zones of higher-grade mineralization within the broader resource area. Significant intercepts include:
• 1.70 g/t Au over 48.8 metres
• 3.09 g/t Au over 40.8 metres
The presence of these intervals supports ongoing efforts to define and expand the resource's higher-grade components.

GS2544
Hole GS2544 was drilled vertically in the northwest Dolphin area to evaluate the depth potential towards the northwest
section of the main resource.
Results were highly encouraging, intersecting higher gold grades in the northwest portion of the main deposit and to
depth. Several higher-grade gold intercepts were identified in the drill core, including:
• 2.94 g/t Au over 21.9 metres
• 2.34 g/t Au over 23.4 metres
• 2.94 g/t Au over 58.4 metres
Based on these promising results, further drilling is planned for the northwest Dolphin area to continue evaluating the
resource potential at depth and laterally.

Cleary Area
Three holes were drilled in the Cleary Area. Holes GS2538 and GS2543 were drilled in the north- eastern part of Cleary,
aiming to fill the area to the northeast . Hole GS2539 was drilled in the western section of the Cleary area and intersected
several zones of higher-grade mineralization, including 1.41 g/t Au over 45.6 m and another 2.02 g/t Au over 15.2 m. There
remains significant potential for expansion within the Cleary Area, especially to the southeast and towards the newly
discovered Tamarack area, which is located 400 metres to the east.

2025/2026 Exploration Program Objectives
The objective of the current exploration program at Golden Summit is to advance the understanding of the mineralized
zones within the project area with a particular emphasis on the western and eastern extensions of the existing resource. A
major focus is to identify and delineate higher-grade corridors within the mineralized zones. Locating these corridors is a
key priority, as their presence is expected to positively impact the project’s economics by potentially increasing the
resource grade. The exploration program also includes geotechnical drilling, further metallurgical test work, and
additional supporting studies to advance the overall project. Drilling will target the WOW, Dolphin, and Cleary Hill
areas, as well as the recently discovered Tamarack zone. As the season progresses, additional drilling is planned east of
the main resource zone. This ongoing work is intended to further expand and refine the resource base, supporting the
continued advancement and development of the Golden Summit project. Golden Summit’s history of gold occurrences,
previous placer production, and its current resource base collectively highlight the project’s potential to evolve into a
district of its own within an already prolific gold-producing area.

Drilling concluded in mid-December with a total of 63 holes completed. Analytical work, including cutting and sampling
of the remaining drill holes, is ongoing, with further results to be reported upon validation. 19 holes remain to be reported.
Since 2020, Golden Summit has grown into one of North America's largest undeveloped gold resources through targeted
drilling campaigns, model improvements, and enhanced understanding of mineralization controls. Positive metallurgical
results have advanced the project, with recovery rates exceeding 90% using sulphide -oxidizing techniques, including
BIOX®, POX, and the Albion Process™. The GlassLock Process™ has also been tested, increasing the gold grade in the
concentrate and reducing arsenic content, enabling direct-to-smelter sales.
As of July 2025, Golden Summit resources include an Indicated Primary Mineral Resource of 17.2 million ounces at 1.24
g/t Au and an Inferred Primary Mineral Resource of 11.9 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au, using a 0.5 g/t cut -off grade and a
gold price of $2,490. Ongoing cutting, sampling, and analytical work support an updated mineral resource estimate, which
will incorporated into the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
Analytical Program and QA/QC
HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half is placed in sealed bags for preparation
and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS’s facilities in Vancouver and Thunder Bay. Core samples were delivered to
ALS’s facility in Vancouver, Canada, where each sample was crushed to 70% passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Std. No.
10) screen. A representative ~500 g subsample was obtained by riffle splitting (SPL-32a) and analyzed for gold using ALS
method Au-PA01, (Photon Assay) w hich provides a detection range of 0.03 to 350 ppm, in Thunder Bay. In addition, a
subsample was analyzed for multi-element geochemistry using ALS method ME-ICP61 (34-element, four-acid ICP-AES).
