Toronto Venture Stock Exchange: FMAN

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - October 12, 2022Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (FSE: 3WU) ("Freeman" or the "Company") is pleased to report it has received results for 11 diamond drill holes from the Company's 12,168 m Phase II resource expansion drill program at its 100% owned Lemhi Gold Deposit, Idaho, USA. Ten of these drill holes were designed to test mineralization on strike to the east of the known deposit (expansion holes) and one infill hole to improve the resource confidence in zones with historical drill holes (See Table 1 and Figures 1, 2 and 3.)

The expansion holes represent 20 to 80 metre step outs to the east of existing drilling where mineralization is open. These areas were previously modelled as unmineralized due to lack of drilling in the initial maiden mineral resource estimate ("MRE"). The current MRE comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.94 million tonnes at 1.02 g/t Au for 749,800 oz of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 7.68 million tonnes at 1.01 g/t Au for 250,300 oz of gold (refer to press release dated July 8, 2021). The MRE covers a surface area of 400 by 500 metres and extends down to a depth of 180 metres below surface. The resource expansion holes that form the bulk of the current Phase II drill program are designed to extend this current resource both along strike and at depth.

Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman, commented, "These first ten drill holes step out up to 80 metres along strike, adding approximately 20% to the known mineralized east-west strike length. This initial batch of results gives us confidence that we will increase our overall gold resource and likely improve the economics by adding crucial ounces within our eastern pit shell boundaries. Similar drilling has been completed to test the west and north extents of the deposit and we eagerly await the results."

All holes drilled to date have intersected shallow oxide gold. Selected highlighted results from the 10 holes are 0.61 g/t Au over 90m, including 0.92 g/t Au over 15.97m (FG22-009C); 0.94 g/t Au over 41m, including 1.67 g/t Au over 17m (FG22-014C); 0.73 g/t Au over 7.5m (FG22-002C; deepest mineralization drilled to date (340m) at Lemhi); and 2.1 g/t Au over 16m (FG22-016C). Gold mineralization now extends to at least 348 metres and is open at depth. (See Table 1 and Figures 1, 2 and 3.)

Lemhi Gold Deposit:

As at October 11, 2022, a total of 50 new core drill holes have been completed at Lemhi for a total of 12,168 metres. In addition, two reverse circulation ("RC") holes totalling 402m were completed at Lemhi. These holes have been primarily designed to test on strike extensions of the known resource as well as infill in certain parts of the gold deposit. In particular, the drill program has focused on areas currently modelled as pit waste because of no or sparse drill data. All ounces added in these areas, even if close to the cut-off grade, will add value to the project as they come from zones in the resource shell that can now be upgraded to resources (See Figures 1, 2 and 3.) An additional 20 holes or approximately 4,000 m have been planned as part of the Phase 3 RC drill program which is ongoing.

All drill holes from the project have been logged, sampled and 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 and multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (select drill holes). 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. Analytical results are pending.

Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100% owned Lemhi Gold property (the "Project"). 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 749,800 oz gold ("Au") at 1.02 grams per tonne ("g/t") in 22.94 million tonnes (Indicated) and 250,300 oz Au at 1.01 g/t Au in 7.83 million tonnes (Inferred). See the NI 43-101 technical report titled "Maiden Resource Technical Report for the Lemhi Gold Project, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA" with an effective date of June 1, 2021, and signing date of July 30, 2021, as prepared by APEX Geoscience Ltd. and F. Wright Consulting Inc. available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The Company is focused on growing and advancing the Project towards a production decision.
