Freegold Ventures Limited report drill results from the Saddle Zone drilling as part of the 2023 exploration program at Golden Summit. The 2023 program has been very successful in demonstrating significant expansion potential with drilling 250 meters west of the main Cleary/Dolphin zone intersecting multiple zones with over 2 g/t of gold over a considerable width (2.12 g/t over 197.3m) within a broader interval of 1.76 g/t Au over 276.5 meters. Today's Saddle Zone results, 4 kilometres east of the central Dolphin/Cleary Zone, show further expansion potential to the east.

The Saddle Zone comprises an extensive vein system mapped on the surface, covering a 3km by 1km area. The 2023 program tested an 800-metre strike length of this vein swarm and successfully intersected attractive gold and silver mineralization in all seven reconnaissance holes. The program also tested the depth potential.

Unlike the Dolphin/Cleary Zone, where mineralization occurs within broad, continuous lower-grade halos surrounding higher-grade veins, mineralization in the Saddle Zone is hosted within discrete higher-grade veins, often with attractive silver values. Previously, Freegold conducted a limited drilling program on the Christina Vein, one of several veins located within the 3km by 1km wide Saddle Vein Swarm. The drilling program was carried out between 2011 and 2012 and covered a 150-meter strike length of the Christina Vein, situated west of the Main Saddle Zone.

The 2024 program will consist of drilling west of the main Dolphin/Cleary, where mineralization has the potential to be both higher grade and closer to the surface, testing an extensive 1.5 km gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly west of the current resource. In the Saddle Zone, the 2024 program will primarily focus on testing the vein zones not explored during the 2023 program. The primary goal is to locate higher-grade veins and trace them towards the surface.

Moreover, the American Eagle, within the Saddle Zone, which historically produced 60,000 ounces at an average of 1.6 ounces per tons will be another area of interest. The Christina Vein will also undergo further drilling to depth.
