Expansion of Near Surface High-Grade Oxide Mineralization at Rangefront Zone
Reinforces Growth Potential at Black Pine Gold Project, Idaho
0.41 g/t Au over 41.1 meters in LBP1145 at 45 m below surface
0.92 g/t Au over 35.1 meters in LBP1141
VANCOUVER, B.C. – Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX: LGD; OTCQX: LGDTF) (“Liberty Gold” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report additional strong results from its ongoing 40,000 meter (“m”)
feasibility reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program at the Black Pine Gold Project (“Black Pine”) in
southeastern Idaho, designed for resource infill and conversion, technical compliance for feasibility
and expansion of the resource.
Building on the success announced in the Company’s September 4, 2025 press release, these latest
results from 14 holes totalling 2,979 m of drilling, confirm that the Rangefront Zone continues to
grow in strategically critical areas. Drill results importantly expand the near- surface oxide gold
zone to >150 meters wide (north-south) and >200 meters-wide (east-west) in the upper portion
of the Resource pit within what was previously waste blocks. (see below Figure 1: Cross Section
through the Rangefront Area and Figure 2: Plan Map of the Rangefront Area with current drill
holes) The newly expanded zone of near-surface oxide gold introduces the potential for significant
changes to mining economics and sequencing strategy at Rangefront Zone as previously defined
in the 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study1.
Key Points:
• Near-surface, higher-grade mineralization in western Rangefront continues to grow in size
to the south, east and northwest, extending toward the historic heap leach pad area.
• 0.41 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 41.1 meters in LBP1145 at 45 m below
surface
• Infill and conversion drilling continues to expand mineralization at Rangefront, with strong
oxide gold grades and widths consistent with and extending the prior results.
• East Rangefront: 0.28 g/t Au over 125 meters in hole LBP1136
• West Rangefront: 0.20 g/t Au over 53.3 meters and 0.92 g/t Au over 35.1 meters
in hole LBP1141
• North Rangefront: 0.37 g/t Au over 71.6 meters in hole LBP1144
• Infill drilling continues to add ounces near surface in zones previously categorized as waste
in the 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study due to lack of drilling.
• Additional Metallurgical drilling planned for Q4 2025 in the Rangefront area will provide
additional comp osites to improve coverage of the expanded resource areas for the
Feasibility Study.

• Drilling at Rangefront is ongoing, with ~50 additional RC and core holes and 15,000 metres
planned for 2025.
• Rangefront continues to emerge as a cornerstone growth area of the Black Pine Project,
strategically located adjacent to infrastructure and the proposed leach pad. An update to
the resource will begin in Q4 2025.
See https://vrify.com/decks/20346 for a dynamic 3D view of drill results at Rangefront Zone
and implications for potential Resource expansion and Reserve conversion.
Jon Gilligan, President and CEO , stated: “As highlighted last month, Rangefront just keeps getting
better. The latest results reinforce our view that Rangefront will play a central role in the future Black
Pine mine plan. With just under two million ounces already defined and mineralization open laterally in
all directions, Rangefront is now the premier growth area at Black Pine and a potential important starter
pit. The 2025 drilling is showcasing the strength and scale of the Black Pine gold system and fu rther
positions Rangefront as a key driver of resource expansion and future value creation for shareholders.”

Rangefront Area
There have been 14,289 meters of drilling completed in Rangefront in 2025 and there are another
15,000 meters planned. This is in addition to the 14,817 meters drilled in 2024 which were not
included in the 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study 1. Together this new drilling will inform the
updated Resource Study planned to begin in Q4 2025. Drilling will continue through the winter.
The currently defined Rangefront Area is a 1,500 x 1,200 x 300 m thick zone of continuous oxide
gold mineralization discovered by Liberty Gold in 2021. The 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study
Page 4 of 5
resource estimate for Rangefront is 1,619,000 Indicated and 296,000 inferred ounces of gold 1,
this resource did not include any o f the exploration drilling completed 2024, which expanded
Rangefront significantly in size to the west and east. Rangefront mineralization also compromises
the most leach -amenable oxide material at Black Pine with metallurgical column leach testing
showing a weighted average gold extraction of 86.9% (see press release dated March 22, 2023).

Additional works
One RC rig is working on resource conversion and focuse d, multi-purpose technical drill holes in
the Discovery Zone, with assays results pending. Two RC drill rigs are working in Rangefront and
expect to be double-shifted to increase production. One core rig is moving to the Rangefront area
to complete additional holes for geotechnical metallurgical testing . One RC rig is completing
hydrologic holes and exploration holes in east Rangefront. A geotechnical rig is expected to arrive
in early November to complete the site engineering works.

Liberty Gold is focused on developing open pit oxide deposits in the Great Basin of the United
States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open -pit mining. This region is one of
the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho
and Utah. The Company is advancing the Black Pine Project in southeastern Idaho, a past -
producing, Carlin-style gold system with a large, growing resource and strong economic potential.
We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be
mined profitably in open-pit scenarios and in an environmentally responsible manner.

QUALITY ASSURANCE – QUALITY CONTROL
Drill composites were calculated using a cut -off of 0.15 g/t Au. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the
mineralized intervals vary between 30% and 100% of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations but are typically in the range of
50% to 90% of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge
with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t Au were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were
utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.10 parts per million an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where
the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and
blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. All holes are also analyzed for a

Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
The information, including any information incorporated by reference, and disclosure documents of Liberty Gold that are filed with Canadian
securities regulatory authorities concerning mineral properties have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of sec urities laws in
effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.
Without limiting the foregoing, these documents use the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources”, “inferred resources” and “mineral
reserves”. These terms are Canadian mining terms as defined in, and required to be disclosed in accordance with, NI 43-101, which references
the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards, adopted by the
CIM Council, as amended. However, these standards differ significantly from the mineral property disclosure requirements of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in Regulation S -K S u b p a rt 1 300 ( th e “SE C M od er ni z a ti o n R u les ”) u nd er th e U ni t ed S t a t e s
Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The Company does not file reports with the SEC and is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral
properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.
