  About Freegold Ventures Limited  
Freegold is a TSX-listed company focused on exploration in Alaska . It holds the Golden Summit Gold Project near Fairbanks and the Shorty Creek Copper-Gold Project near Livengood through leases.

  Some statements in this news release contain forward-looking information, including, without limitation, statements as to planned expenditures and exploration programs, potential mineralization and resources, exploration results, the completion of an updated NI 43-101 technical report, and any other future plans. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the completion of planned expenditures, the ability to complete exploration programs on schedule, and the success of exploration programs. See Freegold's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31st, 2024 , filed under Freegold's profile at www.sedar.com , for a detailed discussion of the risk factors associated with Freegold's operations. 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 mobility 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.

   Equity Insider    News Commentary  

   Issued on behalf of Lake Victoria Gold Ltd.   

Equity Insider News Commentary Major banks continue to amplify the gold bulls, with the most recent bullish forecast coming from Bank of America . And instead of pointing towards mounting geopolitical tensions, BoA is pinning its $4,000 oz gold forecast on US debt concerns, not war. Just as gold crossed over $3,400 per ounce again, Commerzbank is another that sees gold's price rising more significantly soon. Several experts in the precious metals space can see gold hitting $4,000 within a year . Analysts are calling for a mining equities breakout causing several gold stocks to attract more attention, including Lake Victoria Gold (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF), ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: SEKZF), Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL,OTC:FGOVF) (OTCQX: FGOVF), Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF), and LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF).

  State Street Global Advisors maintains that gold remains a smart play , citing its enduring appeal and upside potential. Meanwhile, analysts at Jefferies argue the sector is still mispriced, with many gold stocks trading as if bullion were capped at $2,500 per ounce —despite the metal hovering much higher.

  Lake Victoria Gold   (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) is accelerating its push toward potential near-term production with the launch of a 7,750-meter drill program at Area C, the highest-grade zone within its fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project in northwestern Tanzania . Designed to support final mine planning and de-risk initial pit design, the campaign targets both grade control and deeper extensions to help shape what could become the project's first open-pit operation.

"We've designed this program to maximize Imwelo's short-term production readiness while extending the upside case," said Marc Cernovitch, President and CEO of Lake Victoria Gold   . "The drill data will help us finalize early mine scheduling, validate pit design, and potentially unlock high-grade extensions. With Area C now fully defined as our initial production zone, we're making meaningful progress toward becoming Tanzania's next gold producer."

The program includes 3,750 meters of RC drilling on a tightly spaced 10x10 metre grid to define early-stage ore/waste boundaries, supported by another 4,000 meters of strike and depth extension drilling. Intercepts to date from Area C include 6.8 meters at 14.6 g/t gold and 2 meters at 7.5 g/t—results that have positioned it as a compelling starting point within the broader resource footprint. Completion is targeted for Q3 2025, with construction decisions expected to follow based on final engineering and economic evaluations.

"We've optimized this program to deliver multiple layers of value—from detailed grade control to geotech validation and deeper exploration," said Seth Dickinson , P. Eng., Chief Operating Officer of Lake Victoria Gold   . "The step-out and depth targets are especially compelling given the structural complexity we've seen to the west. The team is focused on accelerating toward a clean construction start with maximum technical confidence."

Imwelo is located just 12 kilometers from AngloGold Ashanti's Geita Mine and sits atop the Geita Greenstone Belt, one of Tanzania's most productive gold terrains. The project holds a 10-year mining license and is backed by a 2021 prefeasibility study outlining a scalable, low-capex development plan. With recoveries above 90% and contractor support from Taifa Mining —Tanzania's largest mining services group—the company is now advancing preparations to support a potential construction decision.

In parallel, Lake Victoria Gold   continues to advance its high-priority Tembo Project , where a 3,000-meter drill program is planned at Ngula 1. This near-surface target has returned past intercepts of 28.57 g/t gold over 3 meters and 17.23 g/t over 4 meters. The current work is focused on confirming toll-milling potential while expanding geological understanding across the broader structural corridor—located adjacent to Barrick's Bulyanhulu Mine.

  Barrick's   Bulyanhulu   (Buly) joint venture is quietly building shareholder exposure to potential long-term upside. Barrick and its partner (the Government of Tanzania   ) have now completed over 21,600 meters of drilling across six non-core licenses acquired from LVG in 2021—having already spent more than US$5.56 million out of a US$9 million commitment.

This is all part of Buly's commitment that was made as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) signed in December 2021 , under which Buly acquired six non-core prospecting licenses from LVG . In addition to the US$6M upfront consideration received, LVG retains exposure to future exploration success through contingent payments of up to US$45 million tied to gold discoveries on the Project.

To support its near-term pathway, Lake Victoria Gold   has signed a non-binding LOI with Nyati Resources for potential toll milling at Nyati's nearby 120-tpd processing plant. A new 500-tpd facility is expected to come online in the months ahead. Third-party firm Nesch Mintech Tanzania has been brought in to assess the plant's performance and technical readiness , and to help outline any modifications needed to support production.

Tembo's current 45-hole RC campaign at Ngula 1 is targeting near-surface gold zones with toll-milling potential, building on historical intercepts like 28.57 g/t gold over 3 meters and 17.23 g/t over 4 meters. By focusing on shallow targets first, LVG is aiming to establish early production optionality while advancing structural understanding of a district-scale system.

To support its development strategy, LVG has secured a gold prepay agreement with Monetary Metals tied to up to 7,000 ounces of future output, alongside a recent C$3.52 million equity investment from Taifa Group —part of a three-tranche investment set to total C$11.52 million   . With field activity ramping up at both projects and financing structures in place, LVG continues to execute on a phased growth model in one of Africa's most prospective gold belts.

  In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:  

  ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: SEKZF) has secured $3.3 million in financing to support its transition into near-term gold production at the fully permitted Montauban Project in Quebec . The private placement drew continued support from key insiders and new participation from New York–based hedge funds and family offices.

"This financing marks a critical milestone for ESGold ," said Paul Mastantuono , CEO of ESGold . "With construction now underway, we are entering the final stages before initiating production. Together with our partners, we are building ESGold into Canada's next producing mining company."

With construction underway, the company expects to enter final-stage development in the months ahead.

  Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL,OTC:FGOVF) (OTCQX: FGOVF) recently achieved gold recoveries over 90% using BIOX®, POX, and Albion Process™ methods as part of its ongoing metallurgical program at the Golden Summit Project in Alaska . These findings are being integrated into a new pre-feasibility study aimed at boosting recoveries beyond the 72% benchmark from the 2024 resource model.

The company is also advancing a 30,000-meter drill program designed to upgrade resources and support engineering work. A revised mineral resource estimate is expected in the near term.

  Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) has intersected multiple new shear-hosted gold zones as part of its 20,000-meter drill program at the Moss Gold Project in Ontario . Highlights include 17.7 meters of 1.52 g/t Au and 6.85 meters of 3.01 g/t Au from the Superion zone, extending mineralization west of the QES zone.

"We believe the definition of these new mineralized zones clearly demonstrates the emerging nature of the deposit as we continue to expand mineralization," said Michael Henrichsen , CEO of Goldshore . "In addition, the higher-than-average resource grades that have been encountered thus far on the northern side of the pit are very encouraging and will be a focus for additional drilling in the future, as we look to define a near surface high-grade zone that could be accretive to the economic performance of the deposit."

The company views these discoveries as potentially accretive to the economics of its existing conceptual pit model.

  LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is advancing toward restarting operations at its fully permitted 750 tpd Beacon Gold Mill in Val-d'Or , Québec, following over C$20 million in prior refurbishments.

"We are grateful to have acquired the fully permitted and refurbished Beacon Gold Mill, which received over C$20 million in upgrades by its previous operator and is located in the midst of numerous gold deposits in the historic Val-d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda mining districts, including our own Swanson Gold Deposit," said Paul Ténière, CEO of LaFleur Minerals . "With gold prices at record highs this is a pivotal year for LaFleur Minerals as we focus on restarting gold production at the Beacon Gold Mill and diamond drilling at the Swanson Gold Project to increase mineral resources."

The company is also preparing a 5,000-metre drill program and up to 100,000-tonne bulk sample at its district-scale Swanson Gold Project, which hosts over 185,000 ounces of Indicated and Inferred gold resources. A PEA is underway to evaluate a near-term mining and milling scenario at record gold prices.

•   All three methods tested: BIOX®, POX, and the Albion Process ™ yield over 90% gold recovery  
 
•   Further work to enhance sulphide recoveries through oxidation, as well as gravity, flotation and CIL recoveries, is in progress  
 

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OTCQX: FGOVF) ("Freegold" or the "Company ") is pleased to announce further results from the ongoing metallurgical test work currently underway.

The current initiatives are focused on refining the flowsheet options for the pre-feasibility study. This includes testing and ongoing evaluation of sulphide-oxidizing methods such as BIOX®, POX, and the Albion Process™, as well as further gravity, flotation and CIL test work.

Earlier this year, Freegold reported 93% recovery using the Albion Process™ oxidation-CIL, with further test work ongoing.  Comminution tests using half-PQ core have been conducted on over 50 samples from various locations and lithologies within the deposit. These tests provide information to evaluate the trade-off between grind size and liberation versus power consumption, to optimize power requirements and operating costs while enhancing gold recovery.

The BIOX test work has been in progress for several months, and results have shown that gold recovery rates of greater than 90% can be achieved.

  Summary of Gold Recovery using   BIOX®,  

A series of BIOX® amenability oxidation tests have been completed using a sulphide rougher concentrate produced from a composite of Golden Summit material sourced from eight diamond drill hole assay rejects.  The duration of the biological oxidation tests conducted was 10, 15, 20, 30 and a duplicate 30 days.  The residue from these BIOX® tests was subjected to CIL treatment, and overall gold recovery from gravity, rougher flotation, BIOX® treatment, and CIL averaged 91% from this suite of test work.

  Summary of Gold Recovery using   POX,  

Pressure oxidation (POX) treatment of sulphide rougher concentrate, as well as a cleaner concentrate, with lower mass and only marginally lower gold deportment, has been completed.  The POX residue was washed and neutralized and subjected to CIL leaching for gold recovery.  The POX-CIL testwork has yielded an average overall gold recovery of over 92% in a process flowsheet incorporating gravity, flotation, POX, and CIL.

This testwork utilized eight drill core composites comprising 1,192 meters of drill intercepts that represent 587 continuous mineralized intervals, with a total material weight of over 5,100 kilograms. These composites represent different locations and grades within the Dolphin and Cleary area and were created using continuous drill intervals chosen to reflect potential mill feed (Refer to the map below for hole locations.) The selections of drill holes and intervals included the primary gold-hosting lithologies.  These composites were prepared from laboratory assay rejects of fresh rock intervals located well below the existing oxide cap at Golden Summit.  Additionally, four large-diameter PQ holes were drilled during 2024. A total of 7,600 kg has been made available for comminution testing and ongoing metallurgical testwork.

Two additional PQ holes are being drilled in the 2025 program to enhance our metallurgical test work. This work aims to provide data for trade-off studies in the pre-feasibility study, developing a process flowsheet to maximize economic returns. Ongoing tests indicate that part of the mineralization is non-refractory and can be processed conventionally, although additional sulfide processing is necessary for optimal recovery. The September 2024 resource estimate, based on a gold price of $1,973 , included grinding, gravity separation, flotation, regrinding of sulphide concentrate, and CIL treatment, achieving a 72% gold recovery rate at a processing cost of $14 per ton.

The current program is designed to test sulphide oxidation methods, aiming to increase recoveries beyond the 72% gold recovery reported in the September 2024 resource estimate. Each of the three oxidation methods tested successfully demonstrated the potential to achieve gold recoveries exceeding 90%. These methods may increase costs; however, higher gold recoveries and gold prices could offset the additional capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX ) costs. Ongoing work will focus on identifying the most suitable oxidation method for use in the pre-feasibility study.

Discovery costs at Golden Summit are under $4.00 per ounce. Since 2020, exploration at Golden Summit has transformed the project, evolving to one of North America's most significant undeveloped gold resources, owing to a revised interpretation, extensive drilling, and a robust metallurgical program. There remains considerable potential for further expansion and optimisation as the project advances. The revised mineral resource estimate, incorporating the 2024 drilling, is expected to be finalised soon.

The current 2025 drilling program aims to upgrade inferred resources to indicated through infill drilling. Drilling for geotechnical purposes, resource definition, and additional metallurgical test holes will also be carried out. A total of 30,000 metres of drilling is planned. Archaeological fieldwork and geotechnical drilling are scheduled to commence shortly, with a fourth drill rig added to enhance exploration efforts. A pre-feasibility study is set to begin later this year.

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 Prince George, BC , and/or Fairbanks, Alaska .  At MSALABS, the entire sample will be dried and crushed to 70% passing -2mm (CRU-CPA). A ~500g riffle split will be 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. A QA/QC program includes 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.

These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the completion of planned expenditures, the ability to complete exploration programs on schedule, and the success of exploration programs. See Freegold's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31st, 2024 , filed under Freegold's profile at www.sedar.com , for a detailed discussion of the risk factors associated with Freegold's operations. 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 mobility 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.}
