Toronto, Ontario – October 30, 2023 – Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results for drill holes GD-23-161, GD-23-165, GD-23-180, GD-23-184 and GD-23-203 from the Surebet Discovery at its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
All five holes intersected broad intervals of significant quartz-sulphide mineralization and widespread Visible Gold occurrences. Hole GD-23-180 is the highest-grade interval intercepted to date on the property with a 513 gram*meter AuEq result, comprised of 65.00 g/t AuEq (64.88 g/t Au and 8.03 g/t Ag) over 7.90 meters including 86.99 g/t AuEq (86.84 g/t Au and 6.52 g/t Ag) over 5.90 meters and 186.31 g/t AuEq (186.02 g/t Au and 13.29 g/t Ag) over 2.75 meters*.
GD-23-180 collared from Pad 16 intercepted numerous occurrences of Visible Gold and strong sulphides mineralization in quartz-stockwork and veins corresponding to the Bonanza Shear. The mineralized interval consists of 65.00 g/t AuEq (64.88 g/t Au and 8.03 g/t Ag) over 7.90 meters including 86.99 g/t AuEq (86.84 g/t Au and 6.52 g/t Ag) over 5.90 meters and 186.31 g/t AuEq (186.02 g/t Au and 13.29 g/t Ag) over 2.75 meters*. This intercept is characterized by a quartz-sulphide stockwork with stringer to semi-massive pyrrhotite (up to 1%), galena (up to 1%), and sphalerite (up to 1%), generally concentrated in quartz veins. Multiple elongated Visible Gold grains up to 11 mm in length were identified within this hole.
GD-23-165 collared from Cliff Pad intercepted numerous occurrences of Visible Gold and significant quartz-sulphide mineralization as massive to semi-massive and stockwork galena (up to 2%), sphalerite (up to 1%), and pyrrhotite (up to 3%). The first intercept interpreted as a splay of the Surebet Zone consists of 5.30 g/t AuEq (5.15 g/t Au and 10.35 g/t Ag) over 1.07 meters. The second mineralized interval is interpreted to be part of the Surebet Zone consisting of 8.01 g/t AuEq (6.63 g/t Au and 54.63 g/t Ag) over 4.00 meters within 5.42 g/t AuEq (4.47 g/t Au and 37.88 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters*.
GD-23-203 collared from Pad 8 (located 600 m to the northwest of Pad 16) intercepted numerous occurrences of Visible Gold and quartz-sulphide mineralization in 3 significant mineralized intervals. The first interval interpreted as a splay of the Surebet Zone and consists of 6.52 g/t AuEq (3.91 g/t Au and 86.00 g/t Ag) over 3.00 meters within 3.79 g/t AuEq (2.13 g/t Au and 63.06 g/t Ag) over 7.00 meters. The second interval correlating with the Surebet Zone consists of 5.16 g/t AuEq (4.87 g/t Au and 4.72 g/t Ag) over 4.00 meters including 6.84 g/t AuEq (6.47 g/t Au and 6.03 g/t Ag) over 3.00 meters. The third interval correlating with the Bonanza Shear consists of 6.84 g/t AuEq (6.47 g/t Au and 6.03 g/t Ag) over 3.00 meters*. Mineralization consists of stringers and aggregations of sphalerite (up to 1%), galena (up to 1%), and pyrrhotite (up to 2%).
GD-23-161 collared from Pad 16 intercepted multiple occurrences of Visible Gold and significant quartz-sulphide mineralization in 3 broad mineralized intervals. The first interval correlating with the Bonanza Shear consists of 5.32 g/t AuEq (5.03 g/t Au and 10.11 g/t Ag) over 3.83 meters within 4.40 g/t AuEq (4.14 g/t Au and 9.08 g/t Ag) over 4.67 meters. The second interval is interpreted as a splay of the Bonanza Shear and consists of 4.80 g/t AuEq (4.56 g/t Au and 15.68 g/t Ag) over 3.00 meters. The third interval is interpreted as a splay of the Bonanza Shear and intersected 4.09 g/t AuEq (3.88 g/t Au and 4.68 g/t Ag) over 4.00 meters. In all the three mineralized intervals, mineralization is observed as semi-massive to stringer pyrrhotite (up to 5%), sphalerite (up to 2%), and disseminated to patchy galena (up to 1%).
GD-23-184 collared from Pad 16 intercepted multiple occurrences of Visible Gold and quartz-sulphide mineralization. The mineralized interval is interpreted as a splay of the Bonanza Shear and intersected 3.68 g/t AuEq (3.66 g/t Au and 0.41 g/t Ag) over 3.00 meters*. The observed mineralization ranges from stringers to stockwork and massive pyrrhotite (up to 4%), sphalerite (up to 1%) and galena (up to 1%).
The occurrence of Visible Gold has previously been independently confirmed in 2022 by the Colorado School of Mines with whom the Company is collaborating on a project aimed at determining the origin and evolution of the gold mineralizing fluids at Surebet.
Goliath has partnered with domain experts such as Dr. Quinton Hennigh and Dr. Thomas Monecke from the Colorado School of Mines. The Company has also partnered with consulting firms that include SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc., Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited, and Oriented Targeting Solutions LLC (OTS), to analyze an extensive array of geological datasets spanning drilling, mapping, drone photogrammetry and remote sensing data to interpret the presence of an Intrusion-Related Gold Deposit.
