Kuya Silver Announces Update to Carmelitas Project in the Bethania District

Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the "Company" or "Kuya Silver") is pleased to announce that the terms of its agreement to acquire the Carmelitas concessions (located in the district of Acobambilla, department of Huancavelica, and in the district of Chongos Altos, department of Junín, in Peru) have been amended, and Kuya Silver intends to commence initial field work. The acquisition of the three concessions was first announced on May 14, 2021, with the purchase price consisting of cash and common shares of Kuya Silver, to be paid on a schedule over eighteen months. Kuya Silver and the vendor, Freddy Canales, have agreed to amend the terms of the transaction as follows:

Earlier issuance of common shares. Kuya Silver has issued 1,084,490 common shares to the vendor, equivalent in value to US$400,000 (at a price of CAD$0.49 per share, equivalent to the 20-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) ending on September 16, 2022.
New timing for cash payments and increase in cash consideration. Prior to the amendment, Kuya Silver had already paid US$293,500 in cash (including US$42,500 of other costs allocated to the transaction), with US$199,000 remaining to be paid. In accordance with the amended agreement, Kuya Silver paid the vendor US$60,000 on September 15, 2022, and will pay the vendor an additional US$199,000 by November 30, 2022, representing an increase of US$60,000 in the cash consideration.

The total purchase price for the Carmelitas concessions, reflecting both cash and common shares, has increased from US$892,500 to US$952,500. Title to the three concessions totalling 800 hectares has already been transferred to Kuya Silver's Peruvian subsidiary, Kuya Silver S.A.C.

Carmelitas Project Update

The Carmelita concessions, and, in particular, the recently past-producing Carmelitas Mine, remain an area of focus for Kuya Silver's regional exploration in the greater Bethania district. Up until 2020, the Carmelitas Mine hosted small-scale silver-lead-zinc production of epithermal-related mineralization, similar to mineralization hosted at the Bethania Mine, which is located only 3 km to the east. To date, Kuya Silver personnel have mapped and observed five veins, of which three saw recent production with access via several horizontal adits in two vertical levels approximately 40 metres apart (Table 1).

Table 1: Highlights of previous rock chip samples taken at the Carmelitas Project

Sample	Silver (oz/t)	Silver (g/t)	Lead (%)	Zinc (%)	Silver eq. (g/t)
V-005	15.8	490	8.2	0.9	793
E-001	6.3	196	2.6	1.7	367
CE-006	2.6	80.7	2.4	6.2	479

*silver equivalent ("eq.") is calculated using the following metal prices: silver $19/oz, lead $1900/t, zinc $3200/t

Four of the five veins identified to date strike in a NE-SW direction, essentially parallel to the principal vein systems of the Bethania Mine (e.g. Española, 12 de Mayo, Victoria; Figure 1). These two mineralized vein systems (Bethania and Carmelitas), as well as the other vein prospects identified by Kuya Silver and other personnel in the field, are interpreted to be features of a larger collapsed caldera system known as the Huayta Caldera (Figure 2). The Carmelitas and Bethania vein systems are mirrored across the flanks of the Huayta Caldera, which likely controls and drives local epithermal mineralization in the Bethania district, and much of this prospective area is now covered by Kuya Silver's mining concessions and mineral claims.

Kuya Silver intends to conduct a more detailed mapping, prospecting, and sampling program to better understand the Carmelitas vein system, including grade distribution, alteration, metal zoning, and other data, in order to prepare for more advanced exploration leading to a future drilling campaign.

David Stein, Kuya Silver's President and CEO, remarked: "Understandably, Kuya Silver has focused much of its exploration attention to date on at the Bethania mine and its immediate vicinity, while at the same time accumulating a commanding land position in the Bethania district. While our work at the Bethania mine site and nearby area (e.g. the Hilltop Zone) has just started to scratch the surface on the potential to host a significant silver-polymetallic deposit at depth and along strike, the exploration of a potential second zone of mineralization in the district, such as Carmelitas, will be highly strategic to our long-term growth in the area."

Data Verification

A total of six rock chip samples were collected in early 2021. The coordinates of the locations of each sample were measured by handheld GPS and recorded, and the samples dispatched to the SGS laboratory in Lima for geochemical analysis. The analyses were carried out using the following methods: FA313 - Fire Assay for gold, ICP40B - ICP-AES Multi-acid digestion for 36 elements, and AAS41B - Atomic Absorption, multi-acid digestion for Ag, Pb, Zn over detection limit. SGS Laboratories in Lima has international certifications OHSAS 18001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 and is accredited by INACAL under the NTP-ISO / IEC 17025.

Freegold Expands and Upgrades Resource at Golden Summit

Base case resource ounces and grades have increased materially from our February 2023 estimates
Indicated Primary Mineral Resource: 12.1 million ounces at 1.08 g/t Au, up 8% and 9% respectively
Inferred Primary Mineral Resource: 10.3 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au, up 45% and 13%, respectively
Primary Resource reported above a 0.50 g/t Au cut-off grade
In addition, a significant oxide resource exists – 0.9Moz at 0.49 g/t Au (indicated), up 43% and 23%
Soil geochem and historical hard rock mines strongly suggest that Dolphin-Cleary mineralization remains open to the west and southwest another 1.5 km. The current resource footprint is 1.5 km east-west.
Dolphin/Cleary is just one of the target areas within the 13km long, road-accessible project.
The 2024 drill program at Golden Summit is ongoing with two drills operating – additional assay results pending

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OTCQX: FGOVF) ("Freegold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource estimate for the Golden Summit Project. The revised estimate incorporates data from the 2023 drilling program and the initial two holes of the 2024 program, representing a significant milestone in our exploration and development activities.

CutOff Au g/t	Classification	Au g/t	Tonnes	Ounces
OXIDE
0.15	Indicated	0.49	59,414,000	937,000
0.15	Inferred	0.45	3,252,000	47,000
PRIMARY
0.5	Indicated	1.08	346,304,000	12,050,000
0.5	Inferred	1.04	308,311,000	10,306,000

0.75	Inferred	1.34	22,900,000	986,000

Mineral Resources for the primary resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0. 5 0 g/t gold and constrained within an open pit shell using a gold price of US$1, 973 /ounce, US$2.50/t mining cost, US$ 14 /t processing cost, US$2.00/t G+A, 72 % gold recover y , and a 45° pit slope. Tonnes and ounces rounded to the nearest thousand.

Comparison Sept 2024 and Feb 2023 Resource Estimates

	Indicated Primary Resource - Open Pit			Inferred Primary Resource - Open Pit			Oxide Indicated
	Moz	gpT	Cutoff Grd	Moz	gpT	Cutoff Grd	Moz	gpT	Cutoff Grd
Feb-23	11.1	0.99	0.5	7.1	0.92	0.5	0.7	0.39	0.15
Sep-24	12.1	1.08	0.5	10.3	1.04	0.5	0.9	0.49	0.15
Change	8 %	9 %		45 %	13 %		43 %	26 %

The updated resource is the result of primarily infill drilling, upgrading areas considered waste in the February 2023 drill program due to lack of drill density. Ounces and grades increased materially in all categories considered within an open pit context. It is expected that further infill drilling may also positively impact stripping ratios when a mine plan is optimized. Freegold's 2024 drill program is focusing on the west and southwest of the existing resource where soil geochemistry, found to be a strong indicator, and historic gold mines have outlined two logical corridors that extend approximately 1.5 km; in context, Golden Summit's current resource occupies a 1.5 km east-west footprint.

The current estimate is based on a gold price of $1,973 , which reflects the three-year trailing average. Even though the 2024 resource estimate uses a higher gold price than the $1,792 in 2023, this is balanced by a lower recovery rate (72% vs. 90%). Previously, the 2023 resource plan considered using CIL (carbon-in-leach) and oxidation to process the sulphide flotation concentrate for higher recoveries. However, positive test results released earlier this year indicate that a significant portion of the mineralization is non-refractory and can be processed using much less costly gravity and CIL. Although the recovery is projected to be lower, the overall operating and capital cost savings would more than compensate and simplify the project substantially. The 72% recovery used for the resource is believed to be conservative. The reported test work showed recovery rates of up to 87.5%, with an average recovery of 77% using gravity and CIL, based on 5,100 kg of material and eight composites. Furthermore, initial indications are that mineralization to the west, where our 2024 drill program is concentrated, achieves higher recoveries. Additional optimization work and metallurgical samples from four large-diameter drill holes completed will be used for further metallurgical testwork.

The latest resource estimate shows an increase in the resource size and a notable improvement in grade. The discovery cost remains exceptionally low at under $4.00 per ounce. Golden Summit has a substantial resource and presents an excellent development opportunity due to its proximity to robust infrastructure - road accessibility, proximity to a supply centre, and available labour force, all of which are expected to contribute to lower operating costs.

Additional drilling will focus on improving the ore quality and outlining a smaller, higher-grade starter pit within the deposit as the project moves towards pre-feasibility to reduce operating and initial capital costs. The updated resource's results demonstrated this approach's success with its increase in overall resource grades at the various cut-offs. Trade-off studies will be conducted to optimize the overall economics and balance improved recovery rates with capital and operating costs as the project progresses. Additional metallurgical work is also in progress, and four large diameter (PQ) boreholes have been drilled this year. These will undergo a comprehensive suite of metallurgical tests to assess various processing methods to improve recoveries and further reduce the project's risks.

Since 2020, Freegold has completed over 123,000 meters of drilling and established Golden Summit as one of North America's largest undeveloped gold resources.

The 2023 drill program at Golden Summit discovered higher-grade mineralization on the western side of the existing resource. In 2024, the plan is to continue drilling on the portion west of the Dolphin/Cleary deposit and extend exploration drilling further to the west. The 2024 drilling program at the Golden Summit project is progressing well; additional assay results are expected to be reported shortly.

The table below displays the specific cut-off grades within and below the current $1,973 pit.

The mineral resource estimate (MRE) was carried out using ordinary kriging of three-meter composites. The MRE was constrained by two lithological domains, Intrusive and Schist, that were further constrained by a 0.2 g/t gold gradeshell. Hard boundaries were used for the Intrusive and Schist domains so that only composites from each domain were used for the estimation of block grades within that domain. An Oxide domain was flagged within the upper portion of the Schist domain after the estimation process. Composite grades in the Intrusive domain were capped at 20 g/t gold and those within the Schist domain were capped at 90 g/t. Cumulative frequency curves were used to determine capping levels. The estimate was carried out in a single pass with a minimum of four and a maximum of 12 composites, with a maximum of two per drill hole, required for a grade to be interpolated into a block. Blocks were classified as Indicated or Inferred. Indicated blocks are based on a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12 composites within 100 meters of a block. Inferred blocks are based on a minimum of four and a maximum of 12 composites within 300 meters of a block. A maximum of two composites per drill hole was permitted in both categories.

In addition to the ongoing drill program, metallurgical, baseline environmental, cultural resource, and wetland studies are underway.

A plan map showing the locations of the 2024 drill holes - exploration and metallurgical holes can be found here:

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 fine 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.

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.
