Goliath Finds 101 g/t Au (3.25 oz/t) At Newly Discovered Full Contact Outcrop Within 1.4 km Gossan Trend On Golddigger’s Cambria Ice Fields,
Goliath Finds 101 g/t Au (3.25 oz/t) At Newly Discovered Full Contact Outcrop
Within 1.4 km Gossan Trend On Golddigger’s Cambria Ice Fields,
Golden Triangle, British Columbia
FULL CONTACT HIGH-GRADE Au TARGET HIGHLIGHTS:
● The new high-grade Full Contact discovery consists of a 1.4 km trend on the “Red Line” (the
contact between Stuhini and Hazelton Group rocks ) within which are multiple gossans with
samples that assayed up to 101.13 g/t AuEq (101.00 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag) and remains open.
● The Full Contact discovery contains multiple silicified zones, quartz veins up to 14 m wide, and
shear zones, containing strong widespread gold -sulphide mineralization over a 700 m eter
trend with grades up to 101.13 g/t AuEq or 3.25 oz/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.
● 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 at Full Contact consists primarily of pyrite, with lesser arsenopyrite and
sphalerite disseminated within silicified zones, concentrating in veins and fractures.
● The new Full Contact discovery is located on the southern side of Goliath’s Cambria Icefields
claim blocks, 19 kilometers northwest of the Surebet Zone.
● The new Full Contact target is drill ready and could quickly evolve into a significant new
discovery. Additional follow-up work along the 1.4 km trend that remains open would include
further prospecting, channel cutting and mapping to outline the full extent of this discovery
that remains open in preparation for future drilling.
● The new Full Contact outcrop has only 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.
● The new Full Contact target 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 were discovered on the
Cambria Icefields claims along the Red Line and will be further explored during the 2024 field
season in preparation for future drilling.
Toronto, Ontario – January 22, 2023 – 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 announc ed 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 Observat ory 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.

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 shac k. 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 Deposit TM. 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 intend ed 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.
