Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE:
B4IF) (the
“Company” or
“Goliath”) is pleased to report the highest
concentration of Visible Gold to date drilled on the Surebet
discovery at its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the
“Property”), Golden Triangle, B.C. The intercept from drill hole
GD-24-260 intersected the Bonanza Zone between 533.90 – 547.00
meters that remains open which includes the highest concentration
of visible gold to date with a vein-hosted band of semi-massive
pyrrhotite, sphalerite and minor galena and suggests this structure
is a principal conduit for gold-depositing fluids and is likely
close to the heat engine driving this system that remains open. In
addition, the new Deep Zone discovered at 1,239 meters below
surface contains multiple quartz veins with chalcopyrite, galena
and sphalerite demonstrating the tremendous additional untapped
discovery potential of the Surebet system that remains wide open.
Assays are pending.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical and
Geologic Director of strategic shareholder, Crescat Capital,
commented: “This is proving to be a summer of discovery at
Golddigger. The recently discovered Bonanza Zone has delivered a
succession of core intercepts displaying visible gold, the most
recent of which, hole GD-24-260, appears to be notably rich in gold
particles. This might indicate that the Bonanza structure was a
main fluid conduit at the time of gold deposition. Also very
encouraging, more veins have been discovered at depth, a very
promising sign. The mineralogy of these veins is nearly identical
to Surebet and other shallower veins, a clear sign they are of the
same origin. Recent intercepts of intrusive dykes displaying quartz
veinlets, some with visible gold, provide the first conclusive
evidence of an intrusive association with mineralization. This
association is further confirmed by the discovery of mineralized
veins at Blue Origin just a few km south of Surebet. All of this
evidence points to a very large, perhaps reduced intrusion-related
gold system at Golddigger.”
Visible Gold has been observed in 22 out of 33
holes (66 % of holes) drilled during the ongoing 2024 drill
campaign as well as 100 % hit rate with compelling base metals
mineralization observed in all drill holes. As a result of the
continued success of the drilling in 2024, the program has been
expanded from 15,000 to 36,000 meters with 8 drill rigs currently
operating. The continuity of the thick high-grade gold horizon
pertaining to the Bonanza Zone is currently being drill tested with
21 new holes in an area where GD-24-197 returned 34.03 g/t AuEq
(1.09 oz/t AuEq) over 9 meters (~true width) and GD-24-235
returning 35.04 g/t AuEq (1.13 oz/t AuEq) over 5.25 meters (~true
width).
Significant amounts of Visible Gold as well as
bismuth mineralization, molybdenite and chalcopyrite have been
identified in multiple veins hosted in intermediate porphyritic
dykes in drill holes GD-24-237 and GD-24-240. Investigation of the
mineralization in the dykes is ongoing. Visible Gold, bismuth
mineralization, molybdenite and chalcopyrite mineralization has
also been observed on surface on the new Blue Origin discovery
located 4 km to the south of Surebet where a series of veins up to
20 cm wide are hosted in a felsic intrusion and display similar
characteristics to the dykes observed on Surebet. This intrusion
could be spatially related to Surebet as an uplifted part of the
potential feeder source below the 1.8 km2 area that remains open.
Based on the newly discovered Visible Gold, bismuth mineralization,
molybdenite and chalcopyrite mineralization in the felsic to
intermediate porphyritic dykes on Surebet as well as in the
intrusions surrounding Surebet (i.e. Blue Origin) that strongly
resemble a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold system (RIRG), the
Company has increased its 100 % controlled land package from 66,000
ha to 91,518 ha (28 % increase) to include open ground amenable to
this type of mineralization.

With only two months of drilling in the 2024
season Goliath Resources has already quadrupled the known depth
extent of mineralization from 300 meters to over 1.2 km beneath the
surface and remains wide open. This clearly demonstrates the
tremendous discovery potential remaining and proves that we have
barely begun to scratch the tip of the iceberg. Deep drilling is
ongoing, focussed on discovery, including tapping into the feeder
source of this extensive new high-grade gold system covering an
area of over 1.6 km2 and remains open. Additional drilling will
target a surface outcrop from a quartz-sulphide vein with 500
meters of strike that assayed 21.5 oz AuEq or 667.40 gpt AuEq
(636.00 gpt Au, 1,690.00 gpt Ag, 7.96 % Cu, 2.22 % Pb) on the
Jackpot showing located 1 km southeast of Surebet.
Treasure Island
Extensive high-grade quartz-sulphide
mineralization on the original Treasure Island discovery with
channel samples that assayed up to 28.08 gpt AuEq and grab samples
that assayed up to 11.08 gpt AuEq has been traced in drill holes
for 450 meters of strike that remains open in all directions with
2,938 meters drilled from 4 pads. The mineralized intervals average
29.99 meters wide and on average include 6.79 meters of moderate,
semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization in quartz-sulphide
breccia over 450 meters of strike extent that remains open.
Drill hole TI-24-01 intercepted a 9.8 meter
interval of mineralization containing quartz stockwork and breccia
hosting massive chalcopyrite (up to 8%) and pyrite (up to 10%) in a
zone that remains open. The strong sulphide mineralization
encountered in drill hole TI-24-01 is comparable to what was
observed in a surface channel cut, which assayed up to 28.08 gpt
AuEq (20.60 gpt Au, 63.60 gpt Ag and 5.04 % Cu) over 0.85 meters
and confirms the continuity of the system at depth.
Pending assays, future work on Treasure Island
will include a geophysical survey to identify the extent and
geometry of the mineralized horizons at depth as well as additional
drilling in 2025.
Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled
covering an area of 91,518 ha hectares and is 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 and
proximity have hosted some of Canada’s greatest mines that include
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% inclusive of
48.8% free gold from gravity alone, at a 327-micrometer crush (no
deleterious elements and no cyanide required to recover the gold
based on metallurgical work completed to date).
It 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 with
supplies.

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
DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM
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 ALS labs facilities in North Vancouver. 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.
