  • Drilling indicates the presence of a Carbonate Replacement ("CRD") style system at Tim

  • Program Expanded to include airborne geophysical surveys

  • Over 1,300 m of planned 2,000 m of drilling completed to date

  • Management recently completed site visit

Vancouver, BC, August 19, 2 024 – TheNewswire – Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF) " Silver North " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on 2024 Yukon exploration activities at the Tim silver property. The Tim Property is under option to, and operated by, Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur" NYSE-CDE), which is funding the 2024 program. To date, over 1,300 metres of drilling in four holes have been completed.

"We are extremely pleased with Coeur's progress to date at Tim," stated Rob Duncan, VP Exploration for Silver North after a recent site visit to the Tim Property. "Given that the Wolf Fault has been identified in several historic trenches, in the current drillholes and anomalous soil geochemistry over a cumulative strike length of >2 km, we believe that the Tim project displays the necessary characteristics of a potentially productive CRD system. We are eagerly awaiting the analytical results from this program, which are expected to be received in October."

Diamond drilling at the Tim Property commenced at the end of June, testing the potential for stratiform (manto) and structural (chimney) style Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") mineralization. Drilling at Tim is primarily targeting the Wolf Fault, a northwest striking and steeply southwest dipping structure that parallels the regionally significant Kechika Fault, which can be traced from the Silvertip land package through Tim and Silver North's Veronica Project (recently acquired via option). Large conductivity anomalies defined by SkyTEM airborne geophysical data are associated with the Wolf Fault, as is silver mineralization and/or heavily oxidized fault breccias in historical trenches.

All 4 holes drilled to date have intersected the strongly oxidized Wolf structure and/or parallel splays of it. The Wolf Fault is noted to emplace overlying Kechika phyllite and argillites in fault contact with the underlying prospective Rosella Limestone Formation. At depth, parallel structures to the Wolf Fault are seen within the argillites of the Boya Formation that underlie the Rosella limestones. Geological and structural features that have been observed in the drilling to date consist of diagnostic features that are commonly associated with significant CRD mineralization and have been observed at the Silvertip deposits. Such characteristics include fugitive calcite veining that fluoresces in UV light (displaying the classic "barbeque" pink and orange fluorescence) and re-crystallization of the host limestones. These features suggest that the Wolf Fault target at Tim could be part of a productive CRD system.

Coeur has indicated it is planning to complete six holes for a total drilled meterage of approximately 2,200 m. In addition to the drilling, Coeur will also be undertaking two additional detailed airborne geophysical surveys over the entire project consisting of magnetics and radiometrics surveys and a Mobile MT survey that has the potential to detect conductive features at much greater depths than the recent SkyTEM airborne survey of the property. These elements represent an expansion of the planned 2024 exploration program. The current program is expected to wrap up by early September.

The 2024 program is conducted under the direction of Coeur's exploration team based at Silvertip, under the terms of an option agreement granting Coeur the right to earn a 51% interest in the property by completing a minimum of $3.15 million in additional exploration expenditures and making additional cash payments to Silver North totalling $275,000 by December 31, 2026. Coeur can bring its interest to 80% by making additional cash payments of $100,000 per year in 2027 and 2028, completing a positive feasibility study and informing Silver North of its intention to develop a mine at Tim by December 16, 2028. Under this agreement, Coeur must fund a minimum $700,000 program in 2024. Tim is road accessible via 25 km of 4 x 4 access off the Silvertip Mine Road.

FREEGOLD ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $42 MILLION BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (" Freegold " or the " Company "), is pleased to announce that further to its news release of March 18, 2025 the Company has closed its upsized brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $41,975,805 which includes the exercise in full of the agent's option for additional gross proceeds of $5,475,105 . Paradigm Capital acted as sole agent (the " Agent ") on the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an agency agreement (the " Agency Agreement ") dated April 3, 2025 , between the Company and the Agent. In accordance with the Agency Agreement, 49,383,300 units of the Company (the " Units ") were issued at a price of $0.85 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a " Unit Share ") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a " Warrant Share ") for 24 months from today's date at an exercise price of $1.30 per Warrant Share. The Warrants are callable by the Company should the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceed $1.30 for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, at any time during the period (i) beginning on the date that is 6 months from the closing date of the Offering, and (ii) ending on the date the Warrants expire (the " Call Trigger "). Following a Call Trigger, the Company may give notice (the " Call Notice ") to the holders of the Warrants (by disseminating a news release announcing the acceleration) that any Warrant that remains unexercised by the holder thereof shall expire thirty days following the date on which the Call Notice is given.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general working capital and corporate purposes, with a primary focus on advancing the Golden Summit project. Drilling at Golden Summit is expected to resume next month, and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate is anticipated later in the second quarter, once the assays from the 2024 drill program have been finalized.

Mr. Eric Sprott , through an entity owned and controlled by him, purchased an aggregate of 14,814,900 Units in the Offering, representing 30% of the Units issued under the Offering.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "), the purchase of Units by Mr. Sprott was a "related party transaction". The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation in connection with the Offering in reliance on section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101, as the issuance of Units to Mr. Sprott was a distribution of securities of the Company to a related party for cash consideration. The issuance of the Units to Mr. Sprott was exempt from the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approval in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units received by Mr. Sprott nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.

A material change report will be filed less than 21 days from the date of the closing of the Offering. Closing the Offering in this shorter period was reasonable in the circumstances as the Company determined the shorter period was necessary because the terms of the transaction were favorable to the Company, given uncertain market conditions time was of the essence in closing the Offering, and closing the Offering expeditiously was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

The Offering is subject to the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day.

The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " U.S. Securities Act "), or any U.S. state security laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom.  This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States , nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
