Edgemont Drills Structurally Controlled Gold Zones at Dungate Copper-Gold Porphyry Project; Gold Intersections Include 146m of 0.14 g/t Au

Edgemont Gold Corp. (CSE: EDGM) (FSE: EG8) ("Edgemont") is pleased to announce the assay results from its recent Phase II drill program at the Dungate copper-gold porphyry project, where a total of five holes totaling 2063 metres were drilled in the spring of 2022. Dungate is located 6 km south of the town of Houston in the Omineca Mining Division of B.C.

Highlights from this drilling include:

Hole DG22-09:	146m @ 0.14 g/t Au; incl. 6m @ 0.50 g/t Au & 7m @ 0.46 g/t Au (this intersection was at end of hole)
Hole DG22-10:	61m @ 0.08% Cu, 0.008% Mo; incl. 12m @ 0.10% Cu, 0.012% Mo 12m @ 0.33 g/t Au (this intersection was at end of hole)
Hole DG22-11:	42m @ 0.12 g/t Au; incl. 18m @ 0.14 g/t Au, 0.78 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu, 0.012% Mo 34m @ 0.015% Mo; incl. 8m @ 0.023% Mo

In addition, additional assaying of Hole 2021-04, drilled in 2021, returned an interval of 55 m @ 0.20 g/t Au (previously reported as 27m @ 0.24 g/t Au).

The target for this drill program was following up on structurally controlled gold zones discovered in the 2021 Phase 1 drill program (see March 28, 2022 news release). These zones were associated with coincident magnetic and IP anomalies within and proximal to a highly altered and sulphide mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry ("QFP") intrusion. QFP was intersected in 4 holes of this Phase 2 program, with hole DG22-08 intersecting a 279 meter zone (261m - 540m) of complete quartz flooded replacement of what is interpreted as intermediate volcanics. Unfortunately, this quartz zone was not mineralized. A map of the drill holes completed at Dungate can be accessed below.

Gold mineralization was encountered both in the host volcanics adjacent to the QFP and within the QFP intrusive which generally had 2-10% sulphides occurring as disseminations, replacements, fracture fillings, veins, and as breccias. The surrounding volcanic host rock to the intrusion was also variably altered, presumably by the proximity to the QFP intrusive.

Broad anomalous copper and molybdenum intervals were intersected in the heart of the QFP indicating pervasive mineralization, but with no higher grade concentrations (>0.20% Cu) encountered.

Significant drill results are as follows (In general - Gold zones >0.10 g/t Au with anomalous Silver, Copper and Molybdenum):

Drill results from 2022 have confirmed the structurally controlled gold mineralization indicated in the 2021 program with gold deposition on the periphery of the QFP and into the adjacent volcanic host rocks. In the opinion of Edgemont management, economic intersections of gold have not yet been encountered. Due to the wide spacing of the current drilling it is unknown whether a higher concentration of gold exists lateral to the currently intersected zones. Edgemont continues to assess these latest drill results, along with prior data, and will provide an update on future exploration plans at Dungate in due course.

Technical Appendix

This news release reports the assay results from five (5) drill holes from which 871 core samples were assayed. The Company inserted certified standards and blanks into the sample stream as a check on laboratory Quality Control (QC). Drill core samples are cut by diamond saw at a core facilities in Houston, BC. A halved core sample is left in the core box. The other half core is sampled and transported by Gold Terra personnel in securely sealed bags to MSALabs in Terrace, BC for crushing and grinding, then transport to MSALabs analytical facility in Langley, BC. Ground and were subjected to 30g fire assay with AA finish (FAS-111) and Multi-element ICP-ES (ICP-130) Aqua Regia analysis (34 elements). MSALabs routinely inserts certified standards, blanks and pulp duplicates, and results of all QC samples are reported.

Because of the wide spacing of drill holes, the orientation of the mineralized zones reported here is not known, and Edgemont has not interpreted true thickness.

The technical information contained in this news release has been approved by Joseph Campbell, P. Geo, a Director of Edgemont, who is a Qualified Person as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects."

Freegold Reports 2023 Final Results - Continues to Confirm Western Expansion

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OCTQX: FGOVF) ("Freegold" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from the final two holes of the 2023 drill program. The 2023 drill results will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate ("MRE"), which is anticipated to be released later this quarter.

The drilling conducted in 2023 successfully demonstrated the potential for immediate expansion towards the west, with potentially higher grades. It is important to note that the Golden Summit already has a significant gold resource. However, the potential for higher grades at shallower depths to the immediate west is substantial and could significantly alter the overall project economics. Therefore, we are confident that targeting shallower, higher-grade mineralization before undertaking economic studies will unlock even greater value in this project. Drilling is expected to commence shortly.

Hole GS2337 was drilled at an azimuth of 315 ^o to cross the Tolovana Vein swarm extensions to the southwest. The hole successfully intersected various zones of higher-grade mineralization.

HOLE NUMBER	AZIMUTH	Dip	DEPTH (M)	FROM (M)	TO (M)	INTERVAL (M)	AU G/T

The width refers to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization

The Tolovana vein swam lies within the three clear and immediate extensional geochemical trends identified: two south-southwest flanking trends and a clear east-west trend. The 2024 drill program will focus on exploring these identified trends.

2023 Drilling Demonstrated:

The potential to further expand the resource along strike to the west within a 1.5-kilometre-long gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly with the potential to increase the overall resource grade at shallower depths;
Defined boundaries of the existing resource and;
Demonstrated the potential for the Saddle Zone to host additional gold and silver mineralization.

Metallurgical work remains ongoing, and further metallurgical test work will be completed during the 2024 program to enhance the Golden Summit Project's overall economics.

https://freegoldventures.com/site/assets/files/6287/gs-plan-04172024.pdf

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. 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 little 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.

A 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.

The Qualified Person for this release is Alvin Jackson , P.Geo. – Vice President of Exploration and Development for Freegold, who has approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.

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, 2023 , 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.
