Drill hole GD-23-130, collared from Cliff Pad, intersected the Surebet Zone and assayed 4.66 gpt AuEq (3.53 gpt Au and 55.29 gpt Ag) over 5.70 meters, including 6.25 gpt AuEq (5.12 gpt Au and 55.36 gpt Ag) over 3.70 meters.

The mineralization in these holes is characterized by breccia, stockwork and veins of quartz, sphalerite (up to 10%), galena (up to 8%) and pyrrhotite (up to 15%) hosted in a shear zone within strongly silicified mudstone and siltstone associated with heavy chlorite alteration. Multiple grains of Visible Gold were identified within the reported mineralized intervals.

The Surebet Zone, hosted in the Hazelton Sediments was intersected in 106 drill holes with broad intervals of quartz-sulphide mineralization, 92% intersected gold mineralization. The mineralization model has been updated with the latest assay results and the calculated potential volume of the Surebet Zone is 6,800,000 m3 with an average grade of 9.04 gpt AuEq and remains open, which corresponds to an increase of 43% in grade from the previously reported 6.31 gpt AuEq and an increase of 24 % in volume from previously reported 5,500,000 m3.

BONANZA SHEAR DRILL HIGHLIGHTS

Drillhole GD-23-113, collared from Quoll Pad intercepted multiple occurrences of Visible Gold and quartz-sulphide mineralization corresponding to the Bonanza Shear and assayed 10.94 gpt AuEq (10.80 gpt Au and 6.24 gpt Ag) over 9.70 meters, including 17.63 gpt AuEq (17.42 gpt Au and 9.51 gpt Ag) over 6.00 meters and 34.85 gpt AuEq (34.47 gpt Au and 17.48 gpt Ag) over 3.00 meters. Multiple additional holes intercepted significant quartz-sulphide breccia, stockwork and veining of the Bonanza Shear, including GD-23-217 which assayed 11.55 gpt AuEq (11.47 gpt Au and 5.77 gpt Ag) over 5.00 meters, including 57.41 gpt AuEq (57.10 gpt Au and 24.80 gpt Ag) over 1.00 meters; GD-23-119 which assayed 13.82 gpt AuEq (13.70 gpt Au and 9.77 gpt Ag) over 4.00 meters, including 16.67 gpt AuEq (16.53 gpt Au and 11.38 gpt Ag) over 3.00 meters; GD-23-140 which assayed 4.04 gpt AuEq (3.97 gpt Au and 3.46 gpt Ag) over 11.00 meters, including 7.30 gpt AuEq (7.20 gpt Au and 5.74 gpt Ag) over 7.20 meters; GD-23-155 which assayed 5.32 gpt AuEq (5.24 gpt Au and 2.84 gpt Ag) over 8.00 meters, including 10.37 gpt AuEq (10.26 gpt Au and 4.80 gpt Ag) over 4 meters; GD-23-133 which assayed 4.96 gpt AuEq (4.76 gpt Au and 5.76 gpt Ag) over 7.85 meters, including 9.89 gpt AuEq (9.53 gpt Au and 10.80 gpt Ag) over 3.85 meters; and GD-23-127 which assayed 4.82 gpt AuEq (4.57 gpt Au and 5.44 gpt Ag) over 8.00 meters, including 6.81 gpt AuEq (6.49 gpt Au and 6.95 gpt Ag) over 5.00 meters.

The mineralization of the intercepts of the Bonanza Shear are similar to what is observed in the Surebet Zone and are characterized by breccia, stockwork and veins of quartz, sphalerite (up to 8 %), galena (up to 10%), chalcopyrite (up to 1%) and pyrrhotite (up to 10%) hosted in a shear zone generally located at or in close proximity to the contact of strongly silicified mudstone and siltstone associated with heavy chlorite alteration and chloritized volcanic rocks. Multiple grains of Visible Gold were identified within the reported mineralized intervals.

The Bonanza Shear, hosted at the contact between the Hazelton Sediments and Volcanics was intersected in 104 drill holes with broad intervals of quartz-sulphide mineralization, 84% intersected gold mineralization. The mineralization model has been updated with the latest assay results and the calculated potential volume of the Bonanza Shear is >15,000,000 m3 with an average grade of 8.14 gpt AuEq and remains open. The volume has been increased by 15% from previously reported 13,000,000 m3. The average grade has been increased by 200% from previously reported 2.71 gpt AuEq. This clearly demonstrates the increased importance of the Bonanza Shear as a significant mineralized horizon of the Surebet system.

GOLDEN GATE DRILL HIGHLIGHTS

All drill holes that intersected the Golden Gate Zone intercepted stacks of 1-5 m wide shears with broad quartz-sulphide mineralization. Drill hole GD-23-133 intersected 4.96 gpt AuEq (4.76 gpt Au and 5.76 gpt Ag) over 7.85 meters, including 9.89 gpt AuEq (9.53 gpt Au and 10.80 gpt Ag) over 3.85 meters; GD-23-183 intersected 4.61 gpt AuEq (4.51 gpt Au and 3.35 gpt Ag) over 3.50 meters and 6.55 gpt AuEq (6.26 gpt Au and 8.67 gpt Ag) over 3.00 meters; and GD-23-140 intersected 6.15 gpt AuEq (6.00 gpt Au and 4.72 gpt Ag) over 3.00 meters.

The mineralization observed in intercepts of the Golden Gate Zone is similar to what is observed in the Surebet Zone and the Bonanza Shear, comprising shear hosted veins with stringers, aggregations and in some instances breccia, with galena (up to 3%), sphalerite (up to 10%), chalcopyrite (up to 1%) and pyrrhotite (up to 10%). The host rock for the Golden Gate mineralization is a strongly chloritized andesite.

The newly discovered Golden Gate Zone, hosted within the Hazelton Volcanics and 20 meters below the Bonanza Shear was intersected in 12 drill holes with broad intervals of quartz-sulphide mineralization, 100% intersected gold mineralization. The mineralization model has been updated with the latest assay results and the calculated potential volume of the Golden Gate Zone is >1,100,000 m3 with an average grade of 3.94 gpt AuEq and remains open.

One hole drilled in 2023, GD-23-197 intersected the Golden Gate Zone and assayed 11.60 gpt AuEq (11.07 gpt Au and 23 gpt Ag) over 27 meters, including 14.83 gpt AuEq (14.17 gpt Au and 29.13 gpt Ag) over 21.00 meters and 34.03 gpt AuEq or 1.09 oz/t AuEq (32.55 gpt Au and 65.71 gpt Ag) over 9 meters.

Additional holes reported in this news release are summarized in Table 1 and 2 below.

The footprint of the Surebet Zone has been expanded to 1.8 km2, the equivalent of >336 NFL football fields. The results reported in this news release, coupled with intervals reported and modelled in the course of the project, demonstrates the existence of multiple extensive stacked bonanza-grade veins within 650 meters of the surface that have been tested to date. A study in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines has confirmed that the mineralization formed at 4-5 km below the paleo-surface, confirming the excellent additional discovery potential at depth. To put this into perspective: there is potential for up to 5-10 times the number of stacked veins below the already discovered system corresponding to 10 times the height of the CN tower from top to bottom.

This original discovery has gone from idea to where it is today (22,900,000 m3 of rock) with only 12 months of boots on the ground, clearly demonstrating Surebet is a world class discovery, and we are likely only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: “I would like to congratulate our team on an exceptional 2023 drilling season and thank our shareholders for their ongoing support. After only 3 drilling seasons and only 12 months in aggregate of boots on the ground, our Golddigger project is clearly evolving as a new World-Class discovery in the prolific Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. With our aggressive drilling campaign in 2023, we were able to dramatically increase the volume of rock in our current model of the Surebet, Bonanza and Golden Gate Zonestotalling 22,900,000 m3 with an average grade of 7.74 g/t AuEq, that remains open. Our geological team continues to be impressed with the widespread gold mineralization with excellent continuity and predictability in the Surebet and Bonanza Zones. We were also delighted with the high-grade gold hits in the Golden Gate Zone, a game changer event for the project because until this season all the drilling was in the sediments and contact between the volcanics. The Golden Gate Zone is our newest discovery and is very exciting as it is in the Hazelton volcanics immediately below the sediments. To see the gold mineralization continue beyond the sediments into the volcanics is extremely positive as we look forward to continuing to expand on this discovery in 2024. Making the new discovery in the volcanics gives us a clear path to chase the high-grade gold potential at depth to continue exploring for the heat engine (porphyry?) that caused the gold mineralization at Surebet, Bonanza and the Golden Gate zones. We strongly believe that our Golddigger project is emerging as one of the most important gold discoveries in the Golden Triangle. To think that until recently this project was covered by glaciers and due to them receding our team was the first to ever see the mineralization, then follow it up with exceptional drilling results is very rewarding as high-grade grassroots gold discoveries are a rare event in gold exploration.” Mr. Rosmus further stated: “Management is currently considering all options to unlock the full value of the extensive new land package of the Golddigger property comprising 25 km of the Red Line containing multiple new discoveries, as well as the 100% controlled Bullseye Au-Cu porphyry target on the Luckystrike property, by potentially spinning-off these assets into a new 100% owned company by Goliath to add additional value to our stakeholders. We believe 2024 will be the best year to date for Goliath.”

Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100 % controlled covering an area of an area of 61,685 hectares (152,427 acres) and is in the world class geological setting of the Eskay Rift within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia and within 3 kilometers of the ‘Red Line’ that is host to multiple world class deposits. The Surebet discovery has exceptional 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 close in proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is 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.

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.

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.

Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and AuEq metal values are calculated using: AuEq metal values are calculated using: Au 1924.79 USD/oz, Ag 22.76 USD/oz, Cu 3.75 USD/lbs, Pb 2128.75 USD/ton and Zn 2468.50 USD/ton on December 23, 2023. 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.
