Int'l Freegold receives promising Cleary Hill results

Mr. Colin Bird reports
Diamond core drilling has intercepted a new significant gold-bearing zone
on the Cleary Hill mine prospect on its Golden Summit project in the
Fairbanks mining district, in Alaska. The purpose of the recent drilling
program was to test for both high-grade vein occurrences and bulk-tonnage
gold mineralization in surrounding country rock, both of which were
intersected in the 2000 drilling.
Hole CHD00-1 was collared south of the Wyoming vein (southernmost vein in
the area) and was directed due north at -50 degrees inclination. The hole
was terminated at a depth of 1,000 feet. The drill core was photographed,
logged and split for assay by Avalon Development Inc., Freegold's
geological consultants on the project. Analytical work was conducted by
Bondar Clegg in Vancouver. The table shows all intercepts with gold values
in excess of one gram per tonne.

Based on historical surface and subsurface data, the newly discovered zone
(218 feet to 282 feet), named the Currey zone, strikes east-west, has a
moderate south dip and a true thickness of approximately 63 feet. The
Currey zone projects to the surface approximately 220 feet north of the
collar of hole CHD00-1. There is no known surface expression of the Currey
zone.
Gold mineralization in the Currey zone is marked by strong pervasive quartz
veining and flooding, pervasive sericite alteration and poly-phase
hydrothermal brecciation. Anomalous gold values are associated with highly
anomalous arsenic and antimony with lesser lead and silver. Fragments of
previously altered and quartz-veined intrusive rock are present in the core
and suggest a possible igneous genetic relationship at depth.
Several other plus-one-g/t intervals were intercepted in hole CHD00-1,
including two feet grading 2.5 ounces per ton from a sulphide and
sulphosalt-bearing quartz vein. This intercept correlates with the down-dip
extension of either the J vein or the Colorado vein, neither of which have
been intercepted in previous drilling.
The company is recommending additional trenching and drilling to determine
the orientation (strike and dip) of the Currey zone as well as its
potential to host surface minable mineralization. The Currey zone is being
modelled after the nearby Ryan Lode deposit (408,000 ounces at 0.09 of an
ounce per ton) which has a similar grade width and depth. Ryan Lode is
being evaluated by Kinross Gold Corporation as a satellite deposit to feed
its Fort Knox mill located five road miles north of the Currey zone.
WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for
"forward-looking" statements.
