FREEMAN GOLD DRILLS 0.37 G/T AU OVER 120.4 METRES INCLUDING 0.85 G/T AU OVER 41.2 METRES NEAR SURFACE AT THE LEMHI GOLD PROJECT

 Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (OTCQB: FMANF) (FSE: 3WU) (" Freeman " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has received results from the northern portion of its 2025 reverse circulation drilling program at the Lemhi Gold Project (" Lemhi " the " Project " or " Property ").

The reverse circulation ("RC") drill program consisted of approximately 2,860 metres of drilling in 30 drill holes. The drilling was designed to:

  1. Convert the inferred ounces from the current mineral resource estimate (" MRE ") (see Freeman's news release dated May 15, 2025 ) to either measured or indicated (approximately 1,820 metres in 23 drill holes) for those which are contained within the pit shell as designed as part of Freeman's Preliminary Economic Assessment (" PEA ") (see Freeman's news release dated October 16, 2023 ); and

  2. Complete further exploration at the north, south and at the Beauty zone. Table 1 shows the results from the northern portion of the deposit only. The results will form the basis of an updated MRE to be used within the recently commissioned Feasibility Study.

Bassam Moubarak , CEO, stated, "These drilling results demonstrate there is continued exploration potential beyond the northern extent of the 2023 PEA pit shell. Furthermore, these promising near surface results, with the majority within the first 100 metres, will likely increase the resource base for the Lemhi Feasibility Study currently being prepared."

All drill samples were sent to ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada , an independent and fully accredited laboratory (ISO 9001:2008) for analysis for gold by Fire Assay. Freeman Gold has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control ("QA/QC") program where at least 10% duplicates, blanks, and standards are inserted into each sample shipment.

About the Company and Project

Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100% owned Lemhi Gold property. The Project comprises 30 square kilometres of highly prospective land, hosting a near-surface oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National Instrument 43-101 (" NI 43- 101 ") compliant mineral resource estimate is comprised of 988,100 ounces gold (" oz Au ") at 1.0 gram per tonne (" g/t ") in 30.02 million tonnes (4.7 million tonnes Measured (168,800 oz) & 25.5 million tonnes Indicated (819,300 oz)) and 256,000 oz Au at 1.04 g/t Au in 7.63 million tonnes (Inferred). The Company is focused on growing and advancing the Project towards a production decision. To date, 525 drill holes and 92,696 m of drilling has historically been completed (Murray K., Elfen, S.C., Mehrfert, P., Millard, J., Cooper, Schulte, M., Dufresne , M., NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, dated November 20, 2023 ; www.sedarplus.ca ).

The recently updated price sensitivity analysis (see Freeman's news release dated April 9, 2025 ) shows a PEA with an after-tax net present value (5%) of US$329 million and an internal rate of return of 28.2% using a base case gold price of US$2,200 /oz; Average annual gold production of 75,900 oz Au for a total life-of-mine of 11.2 years payable output of 851,900 oz Au; life-of-mine cash costs of US$925 /oz Au; and, all-in sustaining costs of US$1,105 /oz Au using an initial capital expenditure of US$215 million *.

*Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

The technical content of this release has been reviewed and approved by Dean Besserer , P. Geo., the VP Exploration for the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by the National Instrument 43-101.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
