Golden Cariboo Resources Announces PhotonAssayTM Orientation Study for Gold Analysis
April 29, 2025
Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF)
(WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) is announcing its plans to engage ALS Canada Ltd . to commence an
orientation study utilizing innovative Chrysos PhotonAssayTM technology (“photon assay”) to analyze gold
content in drill core and rock samples from its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property (the ”Property”),
located approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of Hixon, central British Columbia, Canada. This
study is designed to evaluate the potential for better addressing the nugget effect, one of the most
persistent challenges in precious metals exploration, while potentially improving assay turnaround times.
The non-destructive photon assay procedure employs high-energy photons (X-rays) to interact with the
atomic structure of the samples, resulting in characteristic gamma emissions from gold atoms. This
process allows for the quick analysis of larger volumes (up to 500 g) of sample material per assay.
Compared to traditional fire assay methods (30 – 50 g sample material) it, therefore, boasts a huge
advantage in addressing the nuggety nature typical for gold mineralization. The nugget effect is usually
found to be particularly strong when coarse, visible gold is present, as encountered in almost all of the
recent drill holes at the Company’s Halo zone target. By analyzing a bigger and therefore more
representative sample, the photon assay assures that both finely dispersed gold and coarse gold particles
are accurately quantified. Photon assay is an established method widely used in multiple gold exploration
and mining projects around the world with excellent results.
The orientation study will initially be conducted on core samples, which have already been analyzed by
traditional fire assay for a comparison of both methods . If successful, photon assay may replace fire
assay as the main method for gold quantification in all future core and rock samples taken at the
Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine p roperty. Company geologists will include a selection of the previous drill
holes in the study along with the most recent dril l hole QGQ24-21. Assay results are anticipated to be
received and reported in the coming weeks.
Golden Cariboo's President and CEO, Frank Callaghan, states, “This innovative technology not only
optimizes resource evaluation but also strengthens the transparency and reliability of assay data, which
is vital for informed decision making in our exploration program and possible future resource
development.”

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), partly intertwined with them at the north end of the
Cariboo Gold Project, and located along a favorable corridor adjacent to the Spanish and Eureka thrust
faults over a 94,899 hectare (234,501 acre) area. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90-
kilometer (56 mile) 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 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of, and road
accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Property includes the Quesnelle Quar tz 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.
