Freegold Announces the Commencement of the Resource Expansion Drill Program Golden Summit Project, Alaska

February 19th, 2013 (Vancouver, BC) – Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL, Frankfurt: FR4N) (“Freegold”) is pleased to report the commencement of drilling at Golden Summit. The Golden Summit project lies 32 km northeast of Fairbanks and is accessible by a maintained paved highway which facilitates exploration on a year round basis. Drilling will initially be targeted at expanding the current NI 43-101 resource and infill drilling to upgrade the current inferred resources into the indicated category. The Dolphin/Cleary Hill deposit remains open to west, east and to depth and covers an area of 300 metres by 1.5 km; however, the entire Golden Summit project area covers an 11,400 acre area and hosts numerous other significant exploration targets also with the potential for additional bulk tonnage mineralization.

The NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate was completed by Giroux Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, Canada. The current indicated and inferred resource using a 0.3 gram/tonne (g/t) cut-off is:

DOLPHIN/CLEARY ZONE INDICATED RESOURCE: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/FVL_Tables_200213.pdf
DOLPHIN/CLEARY ZONE INFERRED RESOURCE: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/FVL_Tables_200213.pdf

The program for 2013 will include 20 – 25,000 metres of diamond core drilling, metallurgical testing and the initiation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Details on additional drill targets areas will be forthcoming over the next few weeks.

The Qualified Person for this release is Curt Freeman, MSc., who has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release. The mineral resource estimate has been prepared in compliance with the standards of NI43-101.
