Goliath Intercepts 4 Zones Totaling 105 Meters Containing Abundant Visible Gold,
Galena, Sphalerite, Molybdenite, Bismuth In Breccia, Stockwork And Porphyritic
Intrusive Dyke – Remains Wide Open – Surebet, Golden Triangle B.C.
Drill Highlights:
GD-24-237 intercepted abundant visible gold from 4 mineralized zones with Surebet style
mineralization, the Bonanza Shear, Golden Gate Zone as well as a mineralized porphyritic intrusive
dyke for an aggregate of 105 meters (assays are pending).
Collectively these four mineralized intervals equate to 105 meters of some of the strongest
mineralization with the highest density of veining, stockwork and breccia observed to date in drill
core from the property; the system remains wide open.
GD-24-237 represents a 111 meter step out from the main mineralized zone in GD-24-235 the first
hole announced last week, which also intercepted the Bonanza Shear, Golden Gate and newly
discovered Mothership Feeder Zone.
A 14.39 m eter zone of altered porphyritic intrusive dyke, like that seen in GD -24-235 has been
intercepted between 315.71 - 330.08 meters. It hosts multiple sheeted quartz veins and calc-silicate
veins with albite/sericite alteration halos. Visible gold, molybdenite and trace bismuth was
observed in veins at 316.05, 316.26, 326.10 meters and on vein margins.
Additionally, a 47 meter zone of the Bonanza Shear was intercepted from 425.00 - 472.00 meters
with significant mineralized includes intervals characterized by intense quartz-sulphide stockwork
and quartz veins between 5 and 15 cm thick with sphalerite (2%), pyrrhotite (1%), pyrite (2%), and
minor galena hosted within the Lower Hazelton volcanic unit.
A second 16.6 m eter interval zone of Bonanza Shear hosting dense sulphide -rich calc -silicate
veining and stockwork was intersected from 508.4 - 526.00 meters containing sphalerite (1%) and
galena (1%) with trace quantities of pyrrhotite and pyrite.
A 26.35 meter interval attributed to Golden Gate from 546.65 – 573.0 meters, which represents a
300 meter step out to the north. It hosts a high-density of veins and stockwork with substantial
amounts of sulphides intercepted, including sphalerite (1%), galena (1%) and containing sections
of semi-massive pyrrhotite and trace pyrite. A 1.11 meter vein between 569.29 - 570.04 meters was
intercepted that contained visible gold, sphalerite (1%), galena (1%), pyrrhotite (2%) and pyrite
(1%).
Results from th e first couple of drill holes confirm the strong potential for additional discovery
during the 2024 drill program that has just began.
Several deeper drill holes are planned to test the system to greater depth including a 700 meter
hole that is currently underway.
The drill program on Surebet is focused on testing the potential feeder source at depth above and
below the valley floor, discovering new additional veins/shears, expan ding the known 10 vein
footprint, and increasing continuity of veins/shears.
Surebet Highlights:
Colorado School of Mines study confirmed an extensive intrusive feeder source at depth for the
high-grade gold mineralising fluids at Surebet in their report, this provides excellent potential for
additional upside discovery and expansion at depth (see About CASERM below).
Several lines of evidence, including metals content and geochemical trace elements hot spots,
zonation, type, origin of fluids and age of the mineralization strongly suggests we are vectoring on
an indicated porphyritic intrusive feeder source.
Exceptional continuity and excellent metallurgical recoveries of 92.2% Gold from gravity and
flotation, that includes 48.8% Free Gold from gravity alone at a 327-micron crush; no deleterious
minerals or cyanide required to extract the gold.
The Golddigger property is fully permitted until 2029 for 199 drill pads.
66,930 meters have been drilled to date at the Golddigger property (2021 – 2023).
44 holes (or 35%) of 124 holes drilled in 2023 contained Visible Gold with nuggets up to 11 mm in
size.
11 holes to date are greater than 100 gram*meter AuEq and up to 513 grams*meter AuEq.
Best hole drilled to date is GD-23-180 assaying 65.00 g/t AuEq (64.88 g/t Au and 8.03 g/t Ag) over
7.90 meters, including 86.99 g/t AuEq (86.84 g/t Au and 6.52 g/t Ag) over 5.90 meters.
Mineralization is exposed at surface for 1.0 kilometers of strike and 1.1 kilometers down-dip extent
with 700 meters of vertical relief with exceptional continuity.
10 mineralized vein horizons have been identified to date and remain open.
The mineralized footprint of the Surebet discovery corresponds to 1.8 km2, the equivalent in size
to >336 NFL football fields.
Toronto, Ontario – July 22, 2024 – Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF)
(the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report four substantially mineralized intercepts in drill hole GD-
24-237 of dense quartz-sulphide breccia, stockwork and veining containing abundant visible gold, galena,
and sphalerite. Inclusive of an interval containing visible gold, molybdenite and trace bismuth in veins at
316.05, 316.26, 326.10 meters and on vein margins within a porphyritic intermediate dyke at Surebet on its
100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, B.C.
Collectively these four mineralized intervals equate to 105 meters of some of the strongest mineralization
with the highest density of veining, stockwork and breccia observed to date in drill core from the property.
The system remains wide open confirming excellent additional discovery potential.
Drill hole GD-24-237 collared from Golden Gate Pad (140/-70, Total depth 848.0 m) intersected multiple
strongly mineralized quartz-sulphide breccia and stockwork sections containing abundant visible gold,
galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and pyrite mineralization. The hole also intercepted a porphyritic intermediate
intrusive unit containing visible gold, molybdenite and bismuth.
The most significant mineralized interval is 47 meters long in a section from 425.00 to 472.00 meters,
characterized by quartz-sulphide stockwork with sphalerite (2%), pyrrhotite (1%), pyrite (2%), and minor
galena attributed to the Bonanza shear, located at the contact between the Upper Hazelton sedimentary
and Lower Hazelton volcanic units. A section of quartz-sulphide breccia and stockwork directly attributed to
the Bonanza Shear was intercepted from 449.69 to 452.52 meters and is characterized by visible gold, semi-
massive galena (1%), sphalerite (1%), pyrite (1%), and pyrrhotite (1%) and makes up the contact between
sediments and volcanic units. Within the andesite, from 452.52 to 472.00 meters, many closely spaced
quartz and calc-silicate veins host sphalerite (1%) and galena (1%) with trace quantities of pyrrhotite and
pyrite.
A second 16.6 meter interval zone of Bonanza Shear hosting dense sulphide-rich calc-silicate veining and
stockwork was intersected from 508.4 to 526.00 meters containing sphalerite (1%) and galena (1%) with
trace quantities of pyrrhotite and pyrite.
Deeper in the hole, a 26.35 meter interval from 546.65 to 573.00 meters of closely spaced veining and
stockwork with substantial amounts of sulphides was intercepted, including sphalerite (1%), galena (1%)
with trace quantities of pyrrhotite and pyrite. A 1.11 meter vein between 569.29 - 570.04 was intercepted
that contained visible gold, sphalerite (1%), galena (1%), pyrrhotite (2%) and pyrite (1%). Similar to what
was intercepted in 2023 from GD-23-183 which ran 3.56 g/t AuEq over 8 meters including 6.54 g/t
AuEq over 3.0 meters.
A 14.39 meter section of intrusive rock containing quartz veins with visible gold, molybdenite, and bismuth
and displaying porphyritic textures similar to what was observed in drill hole GD-24-235 announced last
week was intercepted from 315.71 to 330.08 meters. This intrusive is host to a handful of 1 to 10
centimeter sheeted quartz veins and sub-millimetric sulphide veinlets. These veins included minor vein-
hosted calc-silicates with white albite/sericite alteration haloes.
Drill hole GD-24-237 was designed to intercept the Bonanza shear, expand the Golden Gate zone to the
north, and target the newly discovered Mothership Feeder as well as additional veins identified at depth
that remain wide open. Several intervals of mineralized core observed in hole GD-24-237 have the same
mineralogy, textures and structures observed in drill hole from 2023, GD-23-183, suggesting that similar
gold grades are expected from these intervals. Several deeper holes are planned to test this area to much
greater depths during the 2024 season, as the system remains wide open and has excellent additional
discovery potential.

remains wide open and has excellent additional discovery potential.
The current planned 2024 drill program includes 15,000 meters of diamond drilling on Surebet. The drill
program on Surebet is focused on testing its potential feeder source at depth below the valley floor,
discovering new additional veins/shears, expansion of the known 10 vein footprint, and increased continuity
of veins/shears. The Surebet Discovery will see the bulk of meters planned with the balance testing one new
strongly mineralized gold-copper outcropping target at Treasure Island.
Over the first 3 drilling seasons , totaling only 8 months cumulative time drilling between 2021 – 2023,
completed a total 66,930 meters on the Golddigger Property. In 2023, there was a 97% success hit rate where
86 holes of 92 totaling intercepted significant widths of high -grade gold over a 1.8 square kilometer area at
Surebet. Of these holes, 35% of them contained visible gold up to 11mm in size. This 1.8 square kilometer
area also has mineralization exposed at surface for 1.0 kilometers of strike, 1.1 ki lometers down-dip extent
with 700 meters of vertical relief with exceptional continuity. The Surebet system remains wide open, with
strong potential for additional discoveries as confirmed by the first drill holes of 2024.
Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled covering an area of 66,608 hectares (164,592 acres) and is in the
world class geological setting of the Eskay Rift and within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle
of British Columbia. This area and proximity have hosted some of Canada’s greatest mines that include Eskay
Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack,
Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of
the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks
that is used as a key marker when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.
The Surebet discovery has exceptional continuity and excellent 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 loc ated on the west coast and houses
an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport with supplies.
