Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE:
B4IF) (the
“Company” or
“Goliath”) is excited to report the discovery of
the new high-grade gold Full Contact target that remains open on
the Cambria Icefields at its 100% controlled Golddigger Property
(the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The new target
contains grab samples that assayed up to 101.13 g/t AuEq or 3.25
oz/t AuEq (101.00 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag). The target has only
recently been exposed as a result of glacial abatement and is drill
ready.
The new high-grade Full Contact discovery is
located 19 km northwest of the Surebet Zone on the Cambria
Icefields and consists of a 1.4 km trend on the “Red Line” (the
contact between Stuhini and Hazelton Group rocks) within which are
multiple gossans, Full Contact remains open. The area contains
multiple silicified zones, quartz veins up to 14 m wide, and shear
zones, containing strong widespread gold-sulphide mineralization
over a 700 meter trend with grades up to 101.13 g/t AuEq (101.00
g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag) that remains wide open in all directions. A
70-meter-wide zone of mineralized quartz veins and breccia that
remains open in all directions has been identified in the immediate
surroundings of the 101.13 g/t AuEq sample. The Full Contact
discovery shares the same geological setting and alteration as the
Bonanza Shear, part of the Surebet Discovery with mineralization
forming around the volcanic-sedimentary units' contact.
Mineralization consists primarily of pyrite, with lesser
arsenopyrite and sphalerite disseminated within silicified zones,
concentrating in veins and fractures.
The Full Contact target is drill ready and can
quickly evolve into a significant new discovery. Additional
follow-up work along the 1.4 km trend that remains open would also
include further prospecting, channel cutting and mapping to outline
the full extent of this discovery that remains open in preparation
for additional drilling.
The Full Contact outcrop has only just very
recently been exposed as a result of exponential glacial retreat
and permanent snowpack abatement confirming the excellent remaining
discovery potential on the 100% controlled Golddigger property
covering over 64,000 hectares. It demonstrates the excellent
untapped potential for additional discoveries on the Golddigger
property, which encompasses 56 km of the “Red Line” and could
quickly evolve into another material discovery.

Multiple additional high-grade
gold-silver-base-metals showings have been identified on the
Cambria Icefields claims. These showings will be further explored
during the 2024 field season in preparation for future drilling and
include the previously announced Treasure Island discovery,
Metallica showing, Honey Pot and Big One, as well as some new
showings. More prospecting, sampling, and mapping is required in
order to assess and expand on their mineral potential.
Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath
Resources, states: “The new Full Contact is another great
discovery of high-grade gold the team has made that is right on the
‘Red Line’ located within the Cambria Icefields claims of the
Golddigger property. Multi-ounce gold samples such as the 101.13
g/t AuEq sample, clearly show the extraordinary untapped discovery
potential remaining on the Golddigger property. The continued
success of exploration on the Cambria Icefields further validates
the Company’s vision to hold these newly evolving assets into a new
company 100% owned by Goliath for a potential spin-out dividend to
unlock additional value for our shareholders.”
Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled
covering an area of 64,264 hectares (158,800 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 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.

Rein Turna P. Geo is the qualified person as
defined by National Instrument 43-101, for Goliath Resource Limited
projects, and supervised the preparation of, and has reviewed and
approved, the technical information in this release.
Other
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.
