Vancouver, BC – February 22nd, 2024 – Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL, OTCQX: FGOVF) is pleased
to report drill results from the Saddle Zone drilling as part of the 2023 exploration program at Golden
Summit. The 2023 program has been very successful in demonstrating significant expansion potential with
drilling 250 meters west of the main Cleary/Dolphin zone intersecting multiple zones with over 2 g/t of
gold over a considerable width (2.12 g/t over 197.3m) within a broader interval of 1.76 g/t Au over 276.5
meters.
Today’s Saddle Zone results, 4 kilometres east of the central Dolphin/Cleary Zone, show further expansion
potential to the east. The Saddle Zone comprises an extensive vein system mapped on the surface,
covering a 3km by 1km area. The 2023 program tested an 800-metre strike length of this vein swarm and
successfully intersected attractive gold and silver mineralization in all seven reconnaissance holes . The
program also tested the depth potential.
Unlike the Dolphin/Cleary Zone, where mineralization occurs within broad, continuous lower-grade halos
surrounding higher-grade veins, mineralization in the Saddle Zone is hosted within discrete higher-grade
veins, often with attractive silver values.

Previously, Freegold conducted a limited drilling program on the Christina Vein, one of several veins
located within the 3km by 1km wide Saddle Vein Swarm. The drilling program was carried out between
2011 and 2012 and covered a 150- meter strike length of the Christina Vein, situated west of the Main
Saddle Zone.

The 2024 program will consist of drilling west of the main Dolphin/Cleary , where mineralization has the
potential to be both higher grade and closer to the surface , testing an extensive 1.5 km gold -in-soil
geochemical anomaly west of the current resource. In the Saddle Zone , the 2024 program will primarily
focus on testing the vein zones not explored during the 2023 program. The primary goal is to locate higher-
grade veins and trace them towards the surface. Moreover, the American Eagle, within the Saddle Zone,
which historically produced 60,000 ounces at an average of 1.6 ounces per tons will be another area of
interest. The Christina Vein will also undergo further drilling to depth.

Tolovana Exercise
Furthermore, Freegold is pleased to announce that it has exercised its right to purchase the state and
federal mining claims that have previously been subject to a 20-year lease on what is known as the
Tolovana Gold Property in Alaska by making a payment of US$655,260. The Tolovana Gold Property was
leased by a third party and later assigned to Freegold, which assumed all the Seller’s obligations under
the lease, including annual lease payments. The property was subject to a sliding scale NSR under the
lease. The Tolovana exercise eliminates the NSR under the lease and further solidifies Freegold’s land
position.
QA/QC Protocols
A sample quality control/quality assurance program has been in place throughout the program. Drill cores
were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent
geochemical analysis by ALS Laboratories . Core samples were prepared in ALS's facility using the PREP -
31BY package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70% , passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std.
No.10) screen. A split of 1kg is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75 -micron (Tyler 200
mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen; a portion of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via
ICP-AES (method code ME -ICP61). Fire Assay analyzes all samples with an AAS finish, method code Au -
AA23 (30g sample size) and over 10 g/t are automatically assayed using a FA Grav method, Au -GRAV21.
Silver Assays over 100 g/t are automatically re -assayed using Ag-OG62. Additional Au screening is

performed using ALS’s Au -SCR24 method; select samples are dry -screened to 100 microns. A duplicate
50g fire assay is conducted on the undersized fraction, and an assay is conducted on the entire oversize
fraction. Total Au content, individual assays, and weight fractions are reported. Analytical and assay
procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver and Reno facilities.
The QA/QC program included laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are
inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards.

technical report, and any other future plans. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve kno wn and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different

See Freegold’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31st, 2022, filed under Freegold’s profile at www.sedar.co m, for a
detailed discussion of the risk factors associated with Freegold’s operati ons. 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 these effects have been
reduced 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. The risks to Freegold of such public health crises also include
employee health and safety risks and a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations in geographic locations impacted by an outbreak.
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 mobilit y
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.
