LGD Liberty Gold Corporation

Liberty Gold Corp. (TSX:LGD; OTCQX:LGDTF) ("Liberty Gold" or the “Company”), is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. All amounts are presented in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

SECOND QUARTER OF 2024 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

• On April 29, 2024, we announced a non-brokered private placement for C$9.5 million, and on April 30, 2024, announced that the private placement was upsized to C$12.5 million1 (the “Private Placement”). Under the Private Placement the Company sold 35,715,362 units of the Company (the “Units”) at an issue price of C$0.35 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of Liberty Gold (each, a “Common Share”) and 1/2 of a Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.45 for a period of 24 months following completion of the Private Placement.
• On April 17, 2024, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the TV Tower Project in Türkiye, for $11.5 Million on a 100% Basis. The Company’s 73.7% share of the $11.5 million in gross proceeds ($8.5 million) will be paid in three stages as follows2:
  • $3.7 million on the closing date.
  • $2.2 million on the first anniversary of the closing date.
  • $2.6 million on the second anniversary of the closing date.
• On June 11, 20243, we announced the appointment of a Director of Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability, Matthew Zietlow, to advance mine permitting with the federal and state agencies. Mr. Zietlow has over 30 years of experience in mine permitting, operational compliance, reclamation and closure at multiple active and idled locations throughout the western United States. He has held senior roles in community affairs, media relations, and academic advisory boards related to the mining sector, and also served as State chair of the Nevada Mining Association Executive Environmental Committee.

At the Black Pine project (“Black Pine”),

• In June 20244, we commenced a 20,000 metre (“m”) reverse circulation drill program focusing on seven new high-priority targets aimed to significantly enhance the Black Pine’s resource base and unlock new areas of oxide gold mineralization.
• The Company progressed the pre-feasibility study, advancing engineering on infrastructure, heap leach pads, water & power supply and ran numerous iterations of mine development options, flexing production rate, cut-off grade, optimal pit shell pricing, stockpiling strategy and total material movement rates. During the quarter, geotechnical, hydrological, metallurgical studies and gold/silver leach recovery models were concluded and preliminary site, infrastructure & process plant layouts were completed.
• On June 26, 20245, the Company hosted a formal mine permitting kick-off meeting with key representatives from the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Idaho Department of Lands. The meeting was led by Matt Zietlow, Director of Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability.
• On June 11, 20243, we announced the approval of the fourth plan of operations amendment, resulting in an increase to the permitted exploration area by 51% to 37.3 square kilometres (“km2”). The amendment opens up large areas that previously had timing restrictions for exploration activity. This greatly facilitates drill access to several lower-elevation areas, in particular South Rangefront and M Zone, for unrestricted, year-round drilling.
• The Company has additionally staked 46 unpatented mining claims3 in the southwest of the project area, totalling 3.3 km2. These claims are contiguous with the existing project area and cover the projected southern extension of the prospective middle plate host rock carbonate sequence, identified by field & structural mapping and soil geochemistry. The newly acquired ground expands the total project area to 69.3 km2.

ABOUT LIBERTY GOLD

Liberty Gold is focused on exploring for and developing open pit oxide deposits in the Great Basin of the United States, home to large-scale gold projects that are ideal for open-pit mining. This region is one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in the world and stretches across Nevada and into Idaho and Utah. We know the Great Basin and are driven to discover and advance big gold deposits that can be mined profitably in open-pit scenarios.

Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources

The information in this MD&A, including any information incorporated by reference, and disclosure documents of Liberty Gold that are filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities concerning mineral properties have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.

Without limiting the foregoing, these documents use the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources”, “inferred resources” and “probable mineral reserves”. These terms are Canadian mining terms as defined in, and required to be disclosed in accordance with, NI 43-101, which references the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves (“CIM Definition Standards”), adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. However, these standards differ significantly from the mineral property disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in Regulation S-K Subpart 1300 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) under the United States Securities Act of 1934, as amended. The Company does not file reports with the SEC and is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards.
