Northern Freegold Announces First Resource at Revenue Zone at Freegold
Mountain with 3.7 Million Gold Equivalent Ounces (1.1 Million Ounces of
Gold plus Cu, Ag, Mo)
Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. ( NFR
http://www.stockwatch.com/Quote/Detail.aspx?action=go&symbol=NFR®ion=C&lookup=symbol&snapshot=default
: TSX-V) is pleased to announce their first National Instrument ("NI")
43-101 resource estimate for the Company's Revenue Deposit, part of
their gold-copper Freegold Mountain Project in the Yukon, Canada. The
Revenue Zone is adjacent to the Company's existing Nucleus Deposit. The
road accessible Freegold Mountain Project is located approximately 200
km northwest of the city of Whitehorse and 70 km northwest of the town
of Carmacks, Yukon.
Highlights:
Newly defined Inferred Resource of 101 million tonnes of mineralized
material containing 1.1 million ounces gold, 10.2 million ounces silver,
287 million pounds of copper, and 90 million pounds of molybdenum
grading 0.34 g/t gold, 3.14 g/t silver, 0.13 % copper and 0.04 %
molybdenum using a gold equivalent* ("AuEq") cut-off grade of 0.5 grams
per tonne ("g/t")
This equates to a total of 3.7 million gold equivalent ounces at a grade
of 1.1 g/t AuEq
The Revenue Zone deposit remains open laterally and at depth
"Revenue is Northern Freegold's second major deposit and it lies
adjacent to our existing resource at Nucleus, with both open in all
directions. We believe these deposits form part of a much larger
continuous district-scale gold-copper porphyry system at Freegold
Mountain, as evidenced by an 8km-long geophysical anomaly. The addition
of a 3.7 million ounce gold equivalent (101 million tonnes) resource at
Revenue significantly increases the project's resource base and more
than doubles the tonnage. At Nucleus1 , we have previously defined a
resource of 0.9 million ounces of gold equivalent in the Inferred
category and 1.4 million ounces of gold equivalent in the Indicated
category. We are pleased with this significant resource increase as it
further demonstrates the potential scale of the porphyry asset that we
have" commented John Burges, President & CEO.
The results at various AuEq cut-off grades for the Revenue Deposit are
tabulated below.

*Gold equivalent (AuEq) for the Revenue Resource is calculated based
upon prices of US$1,016/oz for gold, US$15.82/oz for silver, and
US$2.95/lb for copper and US$15.82/lb for molybdenum, and assumes 100%
metal recovery with no discount for metallurgical recovery in contained
metal figures (Note: total contained AuEq metal values may not add
exactly because of rounding).
Revenue Resource Estimate
The Revenue mineral resource estimate is based on 54 drill holes (10,582
meters) with 5,997 assay values collected through 2011. The resource
estimate is categorized as inferred as defined by the Canadian Institute
of Mining guidelines for resource reporting. Mineral resources do not
demonstrate economic viability, and there is no certainty that these
mineral resources will be converted into minable reserves once economic
considerations are applied.
Assay values were verified against drill logs and assay certificates.
Drill-hole collar locations and down-hole surveys were checked and
verified. The mineral resource was estimated using 1.5-meter composites
of the assay values, with "zero" grade inserted into intervals that were
not sampled.
A geological model was constructed of the Au-Cu-Ag-Mo mineralized zone.
This model was used to constrain the composite values chosen for
interpolation and the ore blocks reported in the mineral resource. A
block model was constructed using 10-meter by 10-meter by 5-meter blocks
in the x, y and z directions respectively. Grades for copper, gold,
silver and molybdenum were interpolated into the blocks by the inverse
distance squared method using a minimum of 2 and maximum of 20
composites to generate block grades.
The inferred mineral resource estimate has been prepared in compliance
with the standards of NI 43-101 by A. Armitage, Ph.D., P.Geol., and J.
Campbell, BSc, P.Geo., of GeoVector Management Inc. GeoVector is an
Ottawa, Ontario based consulting firm specializing in resource
estimation, project assessment and project management. J. Campbell acted
as the qualified person for the resource calculation, as defined in NI
43-101, and is independent of the Company. A NI 43-101 report will be
finalized and filed on SEDAR within 45 days of the date of this news
release.
The project is being managed by GeoVector Management Inc. <html<a

A. Sexton and A. Armitage. Mr. Armitage is the V.P. of Exploration for
Northern Freegold and is hereby identified as the "Qualified Person", as
defined by NI 43-101, for the Freegold Mountain Project. A. Armitage, J.
Campbell and A. Sexton have reviewed the technical information in this
release.
1 Nucleus Resource
The Freegold Mountain project hosts a significant NI 43-101 resource,
Nucleus Deposit, which lies directly adjacent to and to the west of the
Revenue Deposit:

About Northern Freegold
Northern Freegold is a well-financed, rapidly advancing Canadian-based
precious metals exploration and development company. NFR brings
wide-ranging expertise and strong management to focus on the development
of economic mineral resources on the Company's 100% owned (subject to
underlying NSR's) district-scale Freegold Mountain gold and copper
project in the Yukon and the Burro Creek gold and silver property in
Arizona.
Management believes the Revenue Deposit, the Nucleus Deposit and the
Stoddart Zone are all part of a large scale gold-rich porphyry system,
which extends in an east-west direction for more than 8 km. The system
shows the same geological characteristics to other porphyry deposits in
the region which host multi-million ounce gold resources and reserves
with multi-billion pound copper resources and reserves. For maps and
