Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE:
B4IF) (the
“Company” or
“Goliath”) is pleased to report additional drill
results for 5 drill holes from its successful 2024 field season at
its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden
Triangle, B.C. Excellent results from drill holes from GD-24-262,
GD-24-272 and GD-24-273 clearly confirm the increase of
mineralization within the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone from 180,000
m2 (720 x 612 x 410 meters) to 341,000 m2 (835 x 685 x 612 x 410
meters) that remains open. Assays are still pending for a total of
96 out of 105 drill holes that are expected to be released in the
immediate future once received, compiled and interpreted.
Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath
Resources, states: “Results so far from the 2024 drill
campaign all show excellent high-grade gold mineralization as well
as phenomenal continuity within the Bonanza High-Grade Zone as well
as the Surebet Zone. We are impressed with the transition to
abundant visible gold that also includes coarse-grained visible
gold as we drill deeper into the system. In addition, we are
excited that as the stacked veins in the Surebet Zone and the
Bonanza High-Grade Zone dip in opposite directions, it opens up the
possibility for two separate sources more than 2000 meters apart,
or one large source under the various zones. We are delighted to
see that each season of drilling the project is getting better and
better, for example in 2023 we observed visible gold in 32% of the
holes and in 2024 that increased to 92%. During my career in
exploration, it is unusual to see a discovery improve with each
additional drill program which usually only happens in projects
that become mines. We feel that the Surebet discovery keeps
delivering and it is clearly shaping up to be potentially the next
large, valuable, and viable mineral deposit of the future in the
Golden Triangle. We are very eager and excited to release
additional results as they become available in the immediate
future.”
Bonanza High Grade Gold
Zone
During the 3 months drill season in 2024, the
area of high-grade gold mineralization within the known Bonanza
Zone (formerly described as the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Triangle)
has been expanded and nearly doubled from a triangular area
measuring 720 m by 612 m by 410 m to a rectangular area measuring
835 m by 685 m by 612 m by 410 m that remains open. All 64 holes
drilled in 2024 within this newly defined high-grade gold area have
intercepted significant mineralization with 92 % of the holes (or
59 out of 64 holes) containing occurrences of visible gold,
demonstrating the excellent continuity of this extensive high-grade
gold system that remains wide open in all directions.

The continuity and predictability of this newly
expanded thick high-grade gold horizon has previously been drill
tested where GD-23-197 assayed 34.03 g/t AuEq (1.09 oz/t AuEq) over
9 meters (released October 17, 2023), GD-24-235 assayed 35.04 g/t
AuEq (1.13 oz/t AuEq) over 5.25 meters (released July 30, 2024) and
GD-24-249 assayed 30.55 g/t AuEq (0.98 oz/t AuEq) over 8.95 meters
(released December 12, 2024). The new Bonanza High-Grade Zone is
located at the structural intersection of the Surebet Zone with the
Bonanza Zone and outcrops on the surface 200 meters above the
valley floor at an elevation of 900 meters above sea level.
Additional drill hole highlights from the newly
expanded Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone include drill holes
GD-23-242, GD-24-252 and GD-24-275, all of which contain
significant amounts of visible gold as well as considerable amounts
of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite mineralization hosted in
large intervals of quartz breccia and veining.
- Drill hole GD-24-242 intercepted
over 10.86 meters in the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone between
consisting of visible gold, semi-massive sphalerite, and
pyrrhotite, with minor galena hosted in a quartz-sulphide breccia
(assays pending).
- Drill hole GD-24-252 intercepted
over 15.15 meters in the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone containing
brecciated intervals of semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite,
sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite. Visible gold has been observed
in several sections of quartz-sulphide vein throughout the interval
(assays pending).
- Drill hole GD-24-275 intercepted
over 11.00 meters in the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone consisting of
visible gold as well as brecciated sections of semi-massive
sphalerite, galena and pyrrhotite that looks similar to GD-23-197
which assayed 34.03 g.t AuEq (1.09 oz/t AuEq) over 9 meters (assays
pending).
The Bonanza High Grade Gold Zone remains open in
all directions, including to depth, where the new Deep Zone was
discovered at 1239 m below surface and only 480 meters above the
valley floor. This zone contains multiple quartz-sulphide veins and
breccias with chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite demonstrating the
tremendous additional untapped discovery potential of the Surebet
system that remains wide open. The deepest downhole mineralized
interval intercepted to date comes from a depth of 890 meters
downhole (1.239 kilometers below the surface) and consists of a
1.75-meter interval from 890.90 – 892.65 meters with quartz veins
containing significant amounts of chalcopyrite, galena and
sphalerite and remains wide open. Assays for all holes that
intersected the new Deep Zone are pending.
The Company looks forward to continuing to
expand the mineralization at Surebet and increase the understanding
of the geometry and controls of the mineralization with additional
modelling as results become available in the immediate future. The
discovery of the RIRG mineralization (released December 12, 2024)
clearly indicates proximity to the source of this extensive
mineralizing system. Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the
mineralization in all directions, including to depth towards the
potential source for the fluids responsible for the extensive
high-grade gold-silver mineralization on the Surebet discovery.

Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and
covers an area of 91,518 hectares in the world class geological
setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in
the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some
of Canada’s greatest mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip.
Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle
include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red
Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red
Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks
and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring
for gold-copper-silver mineralization.
The Surebet discovery has exceptional continuity
and excellent metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% with 48.8%
of it as free gold from gravity alone at a 327-micrometer crush (no
cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to
date shows no deleterious elements are present such as mercury or
arsenic.
The Property is in an excellent location in
close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where
there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated
on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190
kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of
Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300
kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and
infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including
high-tension power.
Additional infrastructure in the area includes
the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of
the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge
landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and
high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet
discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access
to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel,
lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000)
is located on the west coast and houses an international container
seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are
spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained
to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and
collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization
and are not intended to be representative of the material
sampled.
Portable XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) readings are
semi-quantitative measurements and calibrations of the equipment in
the field not always allow to compare results to certified
reference materials but are used as guideline to augment the
understanding of the mineralization observed. These measurements
are not intended to be representative of the geochemical
composition of the material measured. XRF readings are carried out
using a handheld device and could be influenced by external
factors.
Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond
drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the
drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by
helicopter to the staging area, and then transported by truck to
the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are
checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements
taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features
including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and
measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX
Deposit™. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog Geo™ and
QGIS™ software and data from the 2017-2022 exploration
campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining
and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration are sampled in lengths of
0.5 to 1.5 meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half,
one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a
clean plastic bag with a sample tag. Standards, blanks and
duplicates were added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%.
Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were
collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas
included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations,
placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential
gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab
and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and
chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of
anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were
flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample
number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units
(accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation,
type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.)
and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper.
Samples were then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag
for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples
including blanks, standards, and duplicate samples were inserted
regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.
All samples are transported in rice bags sealed
with numbered security tags. A transport company takes them from
the core shack to the Paragon Geochemical labs facilities in
Surrey, BC or ALS labs facilities in North Vancouver, BC. Paragon
Geochemical is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard
17025:2017. Samples submitted to Paragon received gold and silver
analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to
approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The entire crushed sample is
riffle split and weighed into multiple (300-500g) jars that are
submitted for photon assay. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays
(photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples,
causing them to emit secondary gamma rays, which are measured to
identify and quantify the metals present. The assays from all jars
are combined on a weight-averaged basis. ALS is either certified to
ISO 9001:2008 or accredited to ISO 17025:2005 in all of its
locations. At ALS samples were processed, dried, crushed, and
pulverized before analysis using the ME-MS61 and Au-SCR21 methods.
For the ME-MS61 method, a prepared sample is digested with
perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids. The
residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits
were re-analyzed using the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 methods
(gravimetric finish). For Au-SCR21 a large volume of sample is
needed (typically 1-3kg). The sample is crushed and screened
(usually to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles from
fine material. After screening, two aliquots of the fine fraction
are analysed using the traditional fire assay method. The fine
fraction is expected to be reasonably homogenous and well
represented by the duplicate analyses. The entire coarse fraction
is assayed to determine the contribution of the coarse gold.
Widths are reported in drill core lengths and
the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and AuEq metal values
are calculated using: Au 2398.13 USD/oz, Ag 28.118 USD/oz, Cu 4.10
USD/lbs, Pb 2067.5 USD/ton and Zn 2669 USD/ton on July 28th, 2024.
There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper,
lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and
exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where
Goliath’s project is located such as the Homestake Ridge Gold
Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource
Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge
Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell,
Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated
using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included
provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges,
refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%,
Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be
assumed that Zinc can be recovered with the Copper at the same
recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical
recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone
mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will
ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a
Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger
Project.
