Press Release #07-27

Vancouver, BC, November 8, 2007. Northern Freegold Resources Ltd. (NFR: TSX-V) is pleased to announce a newly discovered zone (Ridge Zone) containing high grade gold-silver-copper-lead +/- zinc mineralization located in the central portion of the district scale Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon. Located roughly 8 km (5 miles) southeast of the Nucleus Zone, 11 km (7 miles) northwest of the Tinta Zone, and 1 km (0.6 miles) from the Stoddart Zone, the Ridge Zone was discovered following up on a historical gold-in-soil anomaly and recent sampling of float material grading up to 14.1% Cu. Trench 07R-01 exposed a 6.7 m (22.0 foot) wide shear zone with highlighted values shown in the table below.

Highlights from Trench 07R-01^*:

Bill Harris, President & CEO commented "This new high grade showing highlights the excellent potential for new discoveries in under-explored parts of the property. The high grade values within and peripheral to the main shear zone are indicators of a strongly mineralized system that we see expressed throughout the district scale Freegold Mountain Project. These values are similar to those found at the Tinta Zone, a polymetallic vein system, which are often peripheral to, and found associated with, porphyry style mineralization. We are excited about the opportunity to continue exploration in this new zone and discover its relationship with nearby porphyry copper-molybdenum occurrences and other nearby high grade polymetallic showings."

Ridge Zone
Trenching was conducted to test the historical gold-in-soil anomaly, and to follow up on a float sample that ran 14.1% copper. Following excavation of the first trench (TR07R-01), other trenches were excavated along the projected strike extension of the shear zone, with trench TR07R-05 being located approximately 315 m (1,033 feet) from the first trench. The trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 3 m (10 feet) and up to 40 m (131 feet) in length. Trenching in 07R-01 exposed fractured, altered and oxidized biotite granodiorite, with abundant azurite staining, black Cu-rich coating and local malachite and chrysocolla. This material is cross-cut by epithermal dolomite-quartz veining. All samples of the oxidized sheared intrusive rock were mineralized. Composite grab samples collected in Trench 07R-01 were followed up by a systematic program of mapping and chip sampling in TR07R-01, the highlights of which are on the table above.

Approximately 15 meters (49 feet) to the northwest of the shear zone in TR07R-01, a grab sample (G2419) of discrete clayey alteration zones on fractures in massive intrusive rock returned values of 16.90g/t Au, 140.0 g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 0.85% Pb and 0.42% Zn.

Two grab samples (G2411 and G2412) from TR07R-03 of azurite-stained biotite-rich intrusive rock were taken roughly 200 meters (660 feet) south of TR07R-01and returned values of 4.5% Cu and 10.4% Cu.

The Ridge Zone is in an area primarily underlain by mid Cretaceous granodiorite (Casino Granodiorite) that intrudes the Paleozoic or older basement metamorphic complex of the Yukon Tanana Terrane. The Ridge Zone is located within a biotite-rich granodiorite, at or near the contact between the Casino granodiorite and the later Bow Creek granite.

Northern Freegold's 2007 reconnaissance program was the first systematic exploration program on the central part of the Mount Freegold property since the late 1980's.

Freegold Mountain Project
The Freegold Project is situated within the Dawson Range portion of the Tintina Gold Belt, characterized by plutonic rocks of the 100 million year old Cretaceous Dawson Range Batholith and early Jurassic Klotassin Suite metaplutonic rocks intruding metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Yukon-Tanana Terrane. The region is transected by the west-northwest trending Big Creek Fault, which provides the locus for an over 100 km long well-mineralized belt, with placer gold deposits, porphyry copper-gold, and gold veins and breccias bodies, extending from Mt. Freegold northwesterly to the Casino copper-gold porphyry deposit. The Freegold Project covers a 30 km strike extent of this belt.

The Freegold Mountain Project covers an area in excess of 64 square miles (166 square km) and several road accessible mineralized zones which include historical estimates not compliant with NI-43-101. Historical work on the Freegold Mountain property dating back to 1930 indicates that the property holds significant potential to host an intrusion related gold deposit or bulk-tonnage gold+/-copper porphyry style mineralization (ie Nucleus Zone) such as that seen at Kinross Gold's Fort Knox deposit in Alaska which has produced more than 3 million ounces in the past 10 years and still has a resource of 2.7 million ounces of gold from proven and probable reserves of 159.7 million tonnes grading 0.53 g/t as at Dec. 31, 2006 (www.kinross.com). These reserves have not been verified by the qualified person and the information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization at Freegold Mountain. The Project also has potential to host other related deposit types such as intrusive hosted polymetallic vein systems (Tinta Hill), epithermal vein systems (Goldy) and skarn deposits (Margarete/Augusta), as well as other porphyry targets (Castle, Com, Nitro, Rage).

Quality Control and Assurance
All samples were sent to EcoTech Laboratory in Whitehorse for sample preparation and then to EcoTech Laboratory in Kamloops for analysis. Gold is analysed on 30 gram pulps by fire assay followed by aqua regia digestion and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Gold values greater than 1000 ppb are reanalysed by gravimetric fire assay. Other elements are analysed by 28 element ICP analysis after aqua regia digestion. The Ecotech Laboratory in Kamloops is an ISO 9001 certified and accredited facility.

The program is under the direct supervision of Mr. Ron Robertson, P. Geol., hereby identified as the "Qualified Person" under the NI 43-101 requirements.

Northern Freegold is a Canadian-based resource exploration and development company which relies on local expertise and strong management to focus on development of economic reserves on the district-scale Freegold Mountain Project in the Yukon and the Burro Creek Project in Arizona.
