Vancouver, BC, December 4th, 2025, Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL, OTCQX: FGOVF) announces results from six
additional drill holes at the Golden Summit project. In 2025, a total of 62 holes were drilled, with assay results for 29
holes reported to date. Reporting assay results will continue in the coming months. The results from the 2025 and first
half of 2026 drilling programs will be used to update the mineral resource estimate (MRE) published in July 2025, which
reported 17.2 million ounces at 1.24 g/t Au indicated and 11.9 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au inferred. The updated MRE
and subsequent drilling in 2026 will serve as the basis for the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), scheduled for completion in
early 2027. In addition to the extensive drill program, a range of other activities supporting the PFS are in progress.
These include cultural resource assessments, paleontology, groundwater studies, power supply analysis, mammal
habitat evaluations, and continuing metallurgical test work.
2025 Program Overview
The 2025 drilling program has been highly successful, focusing on the Cleary, Dolphin, and WOW zones. Efforts have
centered on infill drilling to support the PFS, refining both geological and resource models, and developing a conceptual
higher-grade starter pit targeting 5-10 million ounces to enhance the project's early economic potential. Mineralization
remains open both to the east and west of the current deposit.
Kristina Walcott, President and CEO of Freegold, commented, “The potential scale of this deposit is truly amazing. Our
current exploration efforts focused on defining an area to host an attractive potential starter pit, as we continue to
move the project forward through PFS”. Further infill drilling in early 2026 is expected to refine this area further.
Metallurgical Test Work
Metallurgical testing continues to evaluate the most viable process flowsheets for Golden Summit material. Gold
recovery rates exceeding 90% have been achieved using a flowsheet that includes gravity concentration, flotation to
produce a cleaner concentrate, and subsequent treatment with sulphide-oxidizing techniques such as BIOX®, POX, and
the Albion Process™, producing feed for carbon-in-leach (CIL) for additional gold recovery. Simple gravity and CIL are
also being evaluated. This testwork is crucial to maximize the resource’s potential and will underpin the many trade-off
scenarios to be evaluated during the Pre-Feasibility stage.
Current Drilling Status
Five drill rigs are currently completing the final holes of the season. Drilling will gradually wind down for a seasonal break
and resume in February 2026.

Dolphin Zone: Higher-Grade Potential
Recent drilling in the Dolphin zone confirms strong, continuous mineralization, with broad intercepts of higher grades.
The near-surface intercept in GS2531 indicates promising potential for higher grades, supporting the concept of a
potential higher-grade starter area.
At depth, hole GS2531 shows excellent correlation with the current model, with an intercept of 1.53 g/t Au over 191.3m
within the modelled higher-grade schist domain. This corridor remains open to the southwest and extends into the
intrusive domain at depth. Hole GS2542, drilled 200 m south of GS2531, aims to extend the zone downdip, with assays
pending. Several other holes are planned for this potential higher-grade domain in 2026, as it may serve as the
economic keel for a potential starter pit.

Note: The reported widths refer to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.
GS2515, drilled in the northern Dolphin Zone, intersected higher-grade mineralization with 3.0 g/t Au over 15.3m from
84.4 m, 13.53 g/t over 6.4m from 175.3m, and 3.06 g/t Au over 4.9m from 227.9 m. Like GS2531, located 250m to the
south, GS2515’s higher-grade, closer-to-surface intercepts provide further encouragement for the development of a
potential starter pit. Planned shallow infill drilling in 2026 will further target these areas.
Cleary Zone: Drilling Results Continuing to demonstrate strong correlation with resource model
Infill drilling within the Cleary Zone continues to demonstrate a strong correlation with the current resource model. Hole
GS2508 returned 1.05 g/t Au over 120.7m, while hole GS2528 encountered four intervals with higher grades and
widths, notably 1.6 g/t Au over 57.9m and 1.78 g/t Au over 61m, as well as two narrower, higher-grade sections. Hole

GS2517, designated for hydrological investigation targeted the potential higher-grade downdip extent, was abandoned
due to challenging ground conditions and complications arising from the attempted installation of a vibrating Wire
Piezometer (VWP). VPWs are being installed to monitor groundwater levels throughout the prospective pit area,
capturing both vertical and horizontal gradients to inform analyses of possible fault-block compartmentalization and
support ongoing groundwater monitoring efforts. Eight installations were completed during 2025. A follow-up vertical
hole, GS2549, was drilled from the same collar as GS2517 to access the target zone; assay results are pending.

Metallurgical Update: Environmental Characterization – Non-Acid-Generating Tailings
Recent metallurgical work results have also shown more positive developments. Tailings from the locked-cycle flotation
tests were 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. Gravity tailings
from the CIL leach scenario also showed arsenic levels below acceptable limits. 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.

About Golden Summit
Since 2020, the Golden Summit project has emerged as one of North America’s largest undeveloped gold resources. The
increase in resource ounces and grade is attributed to targeted drilling campaigns (over 130,000 metres from 2020 to
2024), improvements to geological models, and a better understanding of mineralization controls. Positive metallurgical
test results have further advanced the project. Ongoing drilling continues to delineate zones of higher-grade
mineralization, converting previously considered waste areas into potentially economically viable zones. Continued
westward expansion has led to the discovery of new, higher-grade zones.
As of July 2025, the Golden Summit resource includes 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, calculated using a 0.5 g/t
cut-off grade and a three-year trailing average gold price of $2,490.
Drilling will continue into 2026, with upcoming results expected to support an updated resource estimate. A significant
number of assay results remain pending.

QA/QC
HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw . One half is placed in sealed bags for preparation
and subsequent geochemical analysis by MSA Laboratories in Fairbanks, Alaska or ALS’s facilities in Vancouver and
Thunder Bay. At MSALABS, the entire sample will be dried and crushed to 70% passing - 2mm (CRU-CPA). A ~500g riffle
split was analyzed for gold using CHRYSOS PhotonAssay ™ (CPA-Au1). From this, 250g w ill be further riffle-split from the
original PhotonAssay™ sample, pulverized, and a 0.25g sub-sample analyzed for multi-element geochemistry using MSA’s
IMS230 package, which includes 4 -acid digestion and ICP -MS finish. MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 - and ISO
9001-certified quality systems.
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 the ALS method Au -PA01 (Photon Assay), which provides a detection range of 0.03 to 350
ppm, in Thunder Bay.
