Freegold Ventures Limited Freegold Ventures Limited is a North
American exploration and development company with a management team
experienced in mine development and production, and that has a
proven track-record in transitioning exploration companies into
gold producers. The Company is currently exploring advanced-stage
gold projects in Idaho and Alaska. Freegold holds a 100% lease
interest in the Almaden gold project in Idaho. This large tonnage
epithermal gold deposit was the subject of a feasibility study in
1997 calling for the development of a 95,000 oz/year open pit, heap
leach mine. Freegold has recently finalized a 54,700-foot drilling
program which has successfully identified numerous extensions to
the gold mineralization, along with newly identified open-ended
areas of molybdenum mineralization. The Company is in the process
of generating a new 43-101 resource which will be followed with the
commencement of new economic evaluations. Freegold's 40,100-foot
drill program in 2007 continued to discover new high-grade veins
and bulk tonnage shear zones on its 93% controlled Golden Summit
project outside Fairbanks, Alaska. Over 7 million ounces of gold
has historically been recovered from Golden Summit which is
situated less than 5 miles to the north of the +7 million ounce
Fort Knox Mine. Further evaluation and expansion of the
mineralization is currently being undertaken with a combination of
closely spaced shallow drilling, deeper, systematic core drilling
and on-going bulk sampling program, which includes seasonal
processing of gold mineralization using an on-site gravity-based
concentration plant. Drilling in 2008 will also be conducted on the
company's 100% controlled Rob property, where the Company has
intersected high-grade gold in near surface quartz veins similar in
appearance and grade to those being mined at the nearby 5.6 million
ounce Pogo Mine, and on the Vinasale deposit, where the Company
entered into an Exploration Agreement with option to lease on a
140,000 acre property in Alaska which contains the previously
identified Vinasale gold deposit The Qualified Person, Michael P.
