Freegold Ventures Limited - Drilling to commence at Golden Summit project, Alaska

Toronto Stock Exchange Trade Symbol: ITF
OTCBB: FGOVF

VANCOUVER, Feb. 12 /CNW/ - Freegold Ventures Limited (ITF: TSX) (OTCBB:
FGOVF). (Freegold) announces that diamond core drilling is scheduled to begin
before the end of the week on its Currey prospect. Previous work on the Golden
Summit revealed numerous high-grade zones, in further testing of these high-
grade zones a new mineralized package of significant width was discovered, and
has been named the Currey Zone. Drilling in this prospective zone in 2000
intersected 64 feet grading 0.143 oz/ton (4.9 gpt) gold in a poly-phase
hydrothermal breccia which had not been discovered previously on the project.
Follow-up resistivity and trenching programs confirmed that the zone may have
the potential to host a significant mineralisation in veins and shear zones
not previously tested.
The current drill program will be targeted at this newly discovered zone.
Phase 1 drilling will consist of approximately 1,500 feet of core in three
drill holes designed to determine the dip and true width of the Currey zone. A
Phase 2 program slated for the spring and summer will be aimed at defining
strike extension and possibly increasing the total width of mineralized
package since the trenching work suggested that mineralisation may be even
more extensive than indicated in the discovery hole. Numerous other high-grade
zones remain to be tested on the project and will be systematically evaluated
over the coming months.
Drill core will be logged and split in Fairbanks before being shipped
directly to XRAL Laboratories' sample preparation facility in Fairbanks. All
samples will be analyzed for gold via fire assay techniques plus a multi-
element suite via ICP-MS methods. In addition to the Currey Zone several other
high-grade targets exist on the property and will be systematically evaluated
over the coming months.
The Qualified Person for the Project is Curt Freeman, M.Sc

Freegold is listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange, trade symbol: ITF and
in the United States OTCBB: FGOVF.
