This drilling intersected significant Cu-Ag-Au-Mo mineralization The Stoddart Zone porphyry mineralization may be part of a much larger porphyry system identified in the Nucleus and Revenue Zones, and may extend that porphyry system an additional 3 km along strike Slide 23 NORTHERN FREEGOLD RESOURCES TSX.V: NFR www. northernfreegold.com 23 Slide 24 Slide 25 Slide 26 NORTHERN FREEGOLD RESOURCES TSX.V: NFR www. northernfreegold.com 26 Nucleus, Revenue and Stoddart Zone Closing Nucleus deposit is open laterally and to depth; based on drilling and geophysics excellent potential to expand the Indicated/Inferred Resource The results of drilling to date in and around the Revenue zone are highly encouraging as they continue to expand on the size of the Revenue Target deposit and demonstrate the size potential of the deposit. The deposit is open laterally and at depth Revenue zone Target Deposit to be upgraded to Inferred Resource Results from the 2010 Titan Survey combined with soil geochemistry and recent drill results from confirms a large scale mineralized system encompassing the Nucleus Deposit and extending east through the Revenue Zone The Stoddart Zone porphyry mineralization may be part of a much larger porphyry system identified in the Nucleus and Revenue Zones, and may extend that porphyry system an additional 3 km along strike
