Golden Cariboo Intersects 172.6 m (566.3 ft) of 0.43 g/t gold Near Surface in the Halo Zone
February 4, 2025
Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF)
(WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) wishes to announce a significant extension to the Halo zone in drill hole
QGQ24-18, which intersected 172.6 m (566.3 ft) of 0.43 g/t gold near surface from a depth of 10.4 m
(34.1 ft), including intersections containing 26.3 m (86.3 ft) of 0.88 g/t gold and 20.0 m (65.6 ft) of 1.17
g/t gold. Core recovery in the 26.3 m interval was only 47% (see Table 1 below), which could result in
overall lower values due to the loss of mineralized soft sulphide bearing, brecciated, fractured and/or
altered intervals. The 172.6 m intersection extends gold mineralization 60 m from the drill hole QGQ24-
13 collar (see Figure 1 enclosed and on the Company website w ww.goldencariboo.com), and extends
gold mineralization vertically by 125 m (410.1 ft) below surface, which returned up to 5.15 g/t gold in
outcrop (see News Release dated December 3, 2024 and Figure 2 enclosed). A deeper intersection of
gold mineralization in QGQ24-18 was also encountered, which returned 19.22 m (63.1 m) of 0.45 g/t gold
from 351.66 m (1153.7 ft).
Drill hole QGQ24-18, set up at an azimuth of 035° and inclination of -45°, was the third drill hole completed
following the Halo Discovery in holes QGQ24-13 to -15, with an objective to extend mineralization and
enhance the understanding of the lithological, structural and vein geometries of the Discovery.
Lithological contacts trend southeast with a steep southwest dip, while q uartz-carbonate+/-pyrite veins
with observed visible gold occur both parallel and oblique to lithological contacts. Subsequent drill holes
QGQ24-19 and QGQ24- 20 were drilled in a northerly orientation in approximately 100 m step- outs to
extend the Halo Discovery, have been p reviously announced to contain broad zones of quartz veining
with visible gold (see News Release dated November 26, 2024), and assay results are pending.
Golden Cariboo’s President and CEO, Frank Callaghan, stated “Drill hole QGQ24-18 represents another
strong follow up to the Discovery made this past summer , and reinforces our growing confidence in the
Halo zone’s potential. The broad intercepts of gold mineralization, shallow overburden cover, shallow
topography, and location approximately 4 kilometers from a major highway in central BC, demonstrates
the exceptional nature of this Discovery.”

QA/QC samples including blanks, standards and coarse reject duplicates constitute 5% of the total
number of samples.
The shipments were sent to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver (accredited) for laboratory analysis.
Assays were crushed by ALS to >70% passing below 2 mm and split using a riffle splitter, and 1 kg splits
were pulverized to >85% passing below 75 microns. An aqua regia digest with an inductively coupled
plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP -AES) finish was used for 36- element analysis on 0.5 g
aliquots. All samples were analyzed for gold content by fire assay with an inductively coupled plasma
atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish on 50 g aliquot s. Any sample returning >10 g/t Au was
reanalysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish on a 50 g sample (ALS code: Au-GRA21). Additionally
select samples have been chosen for metallic screening. For metal lic screening, a 1 kg pulp was
screened to 100 microns. The entire oversize fraction and duplicate 50 g assays on the undersize fraction
were completed.

person with respect to NI 43-101.
About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.
Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly
targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, which is bordered
by Osisko Development (NSE:ODV/TSXV:ODV) and partly intertwined with them at the north end of the
Cariboo Gold Project, and located along favorable corridor adjacent the Spanish and Eureka thrust faults
over a 95,122 hectare (235,150 acre) area. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90 km trend
from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property have recorded
production and successful placer mining continues to this day.
Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 km northeast of, and road accessible from,
Hixon in central British Columbia. The Project includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold- silver deposit, which
was discovered in 1865 in conjunction with placer mining activities. Hixon Creek, which dissects the old
workings, is a placer creek which has seen small-scale placer production since the mid 1860s.
