GS2510 had a planned depth of 600m but reached only 492.9m due to difficult drilling conditions. In the target zone, the

hole intersected 1.49g/t Au over 32.5m at a depth of 425.8m. GS2513 and GS2521 were both infill holes and part of the

10-hole groundwater investigation program conducted to measure the hydraulic properties of lithologies within the

potential proposed pit volume (i.e., schist, granodiorite, and tonalite) through packer testing. The results will provide

hydraulic conductivities to inform the conceptual hydrogeologic model and help estimate dewatering needs. Vibrating

Wire Piezometers (VWPs) were installed in these 8 of these holes to measure groundwater levels within the potential pit

area, including vertical and horizontal gradients, to identify potential fault-block compartmentalization, and to monitor

long-term groundwater levels. VWP depths were chosen to target various schist units, granodiorite, and tonalite in each

hole.

GS2513 intersected higher-grade mineralization closer to surface, with 1.43g/t Au over 24.3m from 35.7m. It was also

planned for a depth of 600m but was terminated at 448m due to difficult conditions. GS2521 intersected 1.7g/t Au over

70.1m at 259m and an additional 1.29g/t Au at 535.5m; however, the hole was lost in the mineralized zone before

reaching the planned depth of 700m.

GS2518 was drilled to a depth of 656.2m, but was initially planned to 700m. The hole was lost due to difficult ground

conditions, but it still demonstrates the continuity of mineralization. GS2518 was also a hydrological hole. G2526

intersected several zones, with a higher-grade zone closer to the surface of 1.26 g/t Au over 16.4m from a depth of

37.5m, and a broad zone of 0.90 g/t Au over 182.9m from 386.2m. GS2526 lies within the projected potential starter pit

area. These results suggest strong mineralization near the surface, which could enhance the economic viability of the

starter pit area and support further exploration efforts.

GS2519, GS2522 and GS2525 – WOW Zone

GS2519, GS2522 and GS2525 were all drilled within the WOW Zone. All three holes intersected significant zones of over

1.0 g/t Au mineralization, continuing to validate the WOW Zone’s potential to host higher-grade mineralization. GS2519

one of the most western holes drilled in the WOW zone and returned 1.08g/t Au over 110.7m from a depth of 365m.

The hole encountered several other zones over 1.0 g/t Au at depth, including 1.65g/t Au over 54m from 404m, and a

further 1.44 g/t Au over 18m from 617m. These intercepts indicate strong mineralization potential to depth and

continue to support our ongoing resource model. GS2522 intersected 1.44 g/t Au over 22.5m from 4.5m, and several

other narrower zones of plus 1 g/t Au, again demonstrating the potential of this exciting zone. GS2525 (section 478600),

demonstrates the potential to expand the current mineralized envelope with infill drilling. Mineralization in the WOW

Zone remains open to depth and along strike to the west and southwest.

Metallurgical Update

Metallurgical test work continues to validate the understanding of the potential process flowsheet for the Golden

Summit material. As part of these ongoing studies, an expanded Master Composite of Golden Summit drill core assay

rejects has been created and is a primary focus of the ongoing metallurgical test program being conducted at BaseMet

Labs in Kamloops, BC.

The Master Composite consists of assay reject material from 12 drill holes based on multiple continuous intervals in

each hole above cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold Au subject to a minimum mining thickness of 6m. A total of 1,500kg of

material has been blended with the intention of processing through a pilot plant to produce sufficient mass of sulphide

concentrate upon which to carry out further optimization test work of the three oxidation processes, which have

delivered excellent results to date. Pressure Oxidation (POX), BiOx and Albion Process™ testing will continue to be

applied to Golden Summit concentrate to enable trade-off studies in the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”).

The drill holes which have been used in the Master Composite are:

GS2167, GS2168, GS2201, GS2203, GS2206, GS2207, GS2208, GS2209, GS2438. GS2439 .GS2440, GS2441 –(see below

link for hole locations)

A total of six tests, each comprised of 20kg of the Master Composite material incorporating gravity recovery, followed by

locked-cycle flotation and cleaner flotation to produce a clean sulphide concentrate, have been completed. The mass of

the cleaner concentrate is approximately 4.6% of the total feed. The cleaner concentrate was subsequently treated with

Albion Process™., and the Carbon-In-Leach response of the Albion Process™ residue was excellent, with over 97% of the

gold contained in the cleaner concentrate being recovered by standard CIL techniques. The net overall gold recovery

from the feed material was 93.9%.

Ongoing Program

The 2025 program is advancing steadily. In addition to this year’s extensive drilling, other activities supporting the

initiation of a Pre-Feasibility Study—such as cultural resource assessments, paleontology, groundwater analysis, and

mamma habitat studies—are still underway.

Since 2020, the Golden Summit project has become one of North America's largest undeveloped gold resources. The

significant increase in resource ounces and grade is the result of targeted drilling campaigns from 2020 to 2024 (over

130,000 meters), ongoing improvements to geological models, and a better understanding of mineralization controls.

Positive metallurgical test results have also advanced the project. Ongoing drilling has continued to delineate zones of

higher-grade mineralization and to convert previously considered waste areas into potentially economically viable

mineralized zones. Continued westward expansion has resulted in the discovery of new higher-grade zones, increasing

both indicated gold resources and grades.

Overall gold recovery rates exceeding 90% have been achieved using a flowsheet consisting of gravity concentration,

flotation to produce a cleaner concentrate, subsequently treated with sulphide-oxidizing techniques, including

BIOX®,POX, and the Albion Process™, producing feed to carbon-in-leach for additional gold recovery from the

concentrate.

As of July 2025, the current 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 gold price of $2,490 three-year trailing average gold price. A significant number of assay

results remain pending.

Drilling is expected to continue until mid-December and resume in February 2026. Results from the 2025 drilling

campaign will provide the basis for an updated mineral resource estimate, which will support the upcoming Pre-

Feasibility Study (PFS).

Update on Shorty Creek

Freegold and Gold Range were unable to reach an agreement on suitable commercial terms, and the lease for the Shorty

Creek project has therefore been terminated. As we enter this transformational period for Freegold, we believe our

attention is best focused on Golden Summit. Accordingly, Freegold’s exploration and development efforts will focus on

the highly prospective Golden Summit Project as it advances the project through pre-feasibility over the coming year.

QA/QC

HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half 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 will be further riffle split from the

original PhotonAssay™ sample, pulverized, and a 0.25g sub-sample analysed 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 ALS method Au-PA01, which provides a detection range of 0.03 to 350 ppm, in Thunder Bay.
