GOLIATH INTERCEPTS CLASSIC SUREBET ZONE MINERALIZATION IN 92 HOLES
CONTAINING BROAD INTERVALS OF GALENA AND OCCURRENCES OF VISIBLE GOLD
OVER 1.6 SQUARE KILOMETERS GOLDEN TRIANGLE, B.C.
DRILL HIGHLIGHTS:
Goliath has successfully completed 100 % of its planned drill holes for the 2022 season expanded
from 24,000 meters to 26,321 meters. Assays and results will be reported once received compiled
and interpreted.
Classic Surebet Zone mineralization consisting of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite in semi-massive
to massive veins, stringers, interstitial within brecciated zones and/or as stringers throughout the
core have been confirmed in a total of 92 holes drilled from 20 widely spaced pads over an area of
1.6 square kilometers in the Hazelton Sedimentary and Volcanic rocks. The mineralization remains
open in all directions (see map below).
100 % of all 68 holes drilled within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone in 2022 intersected
significant broad intervals containing galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite, including visible gold
previously reported in two holes 300 meters apart. These drill intercepts visually mirror with the
large majority and greatly exceed the visual intercepts from the 24 holes drilled during 2021 which
contained the same mineralization (galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite) and textures (quartz
breccia/stockwork/vein) and assayed on average 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag)
over 5.87 meters* (see map above).
The drill holes from the 2022 campaign have intersected significantly broader visual intervals of
classic Surebet Zone style of mineralization averaging 14.37 meters* wide compared to an average
of 5.87 meters* wide in 2021.
To date, 48 % of 92 drill holes (or 44) within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone area intercepted
intervals >10 meters* containing galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite. In 2021, 25 % of drill holes (or 6
out of 24) intercepted intervals > 10 meters* of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite, whereas in 2022,
56 % of drill holes (or 38 out of 68) intercepted intervals > 10 meters* of galena, sphalerite and
pyrrhotite.
The broadest intercept to date within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone is 194.43 meters*
from Pad 10 which contained much higher concentrations of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite
compared to the 2021 drill holes.
Multiple drill holes also intersected a number of surprise mineralized zones containing significant
concentrations of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite. This strongly indicates that classic Surebet
mineralization is not solely limited to the Surebet Zone that occurs above and/or below the main
mineralized zone that outcrops on surface for 1 kilometer on strike and has been intercepted up to
1.3 kilometers down-dip to the West at pad 5. These stacked surprise zones are blind as they do not
present themselves on surface and all remain open.
Hole GD-22-100 collared from Pad 13 intersected a 46.89 meter* mineralized interval consisting of
quartz-sulphide breccia and stockwork with semi-massive to massive, interstitial and stringers of
galena (up to 30 %), sphalerite (up to 10 %), chalcopyrite (up to 3 %) and pyrrhotite (up to 20 %)
(see image below).
Hole GD-22-108 collared from West of Northeast Fault Pad located in the East Extension zone
intersected a 16.05 meter* mineralized interval consisting of quartz-sulphide breccia and stockwork
with semi-massive, interstitial and stringers of pyrrhotite (up to 10 %), sphalerite (up to 5 %) and
galena (up to 1 %). The zone remains open to the South (see image below).
Hole GD-22-101 collared from Pad G located in the East Extension zone intersected a 76.01 meter*
mineralized interval consisting of a series of pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite-rich veins, and
stringers and semi-massive to massive fine-grained sulphides. The East Extension zone remains
open to the South and East (see image below).
Goliath worked closely with independent advisors and consultants including Dr . Quinton Hennigh,
Dr . Simon Dominy, Colorado School of Mines and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. in the early planning
and designing of the 2022 drill program focussed on infill drilling pierce points that could be used
for a future maiden inferred resource estimate within the 1.6 square kilometer mineralized area of
the Surebet Zone contingent on assay results.
METALLURGICAL STUDY:
Multiple drill core samples collected during the 2022 drill campaign (24 samples from 16 widely
spaced holes) have been submitted to Process Mineralogical Consulting Ltd. (PMC) to expand on last
year’s metallurgical testing of the Surebet Zone and multiple Surebet surprise zones.
PMC’s metallurgical study performed on a composite sample of combined core from 16 diamond drill
holes completed in 2021 demonstrated that a grinding mesh of 150 microns would recover 98.2 % of
the gold without the need of acid leaching making for environmentally friendly and amenable for
low-cost mining methods.
Simple gravity recovery alone capture d an impressive 38.1 % of gold and 10.5 % of silver . This
indicates that a processing scheme employing early gravity recovery should produce considerable
gold in the form of doré bars. Gravity recovery is generally known to be the most cost-efficient means
of gold recovery in the mining industry
The geochemistry of the system is void of arsenic , mercury, and other problematic/deleterious
elements, making it an extremely environmentally friendly system.
The current modelled geometry of the high-grade Surebet Zone that is exposed at surface along strike
for over 1 kilometer on the South Slope and down dip for 1.1 kilometer on the North Slope indicates
that it may be mined underground using simple gravity to patriate the high-grade gold-silver zone.
This method is typically very low impact with a minimal footprint and is known to be extremely
desirable and cost effective.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:
The Surebet Zone is in an excellent location close to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault
situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert. The town of Kitsault is capable of
housing at least 300 people that has high-tension power accessible by road as well as a barge landing,
dock, and other infrastructure. Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver
Mine Road and the city of Terrace, providing access to railway, major highways, supplies and airport
(see images below).
The drilling and data continue to demonstrate the presence of a n extensive mineralizing system
drilled and confirmed over and area of 5.25 square kilometers that remains open in all directions.
Assays are pending and will be released once received, compiled, and interpreted.
100% of all 24 holes drilled during the 2021 maiden campaign totalling 5,332 meters intersected
significant high-grade gold-silver mineralization over 1 kilometer of strike and 1.1 kilometer of down
dip extent. GD-21-03 intersected 6.37 gpt AuEq (4.46 gpt Au and 122.13 gpt Ag) over 35.72
meters*. The average grade and width from all 24 holes assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and
104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87 meters* respectively, demonstrating excellent continuity of the Surebet
Zone and grades.
Toronto, Ontario – October 18, 2022 – Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF)
(the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report completion of the 2022 drill campaign on the Surebet
discovery at its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, B.C. During the 2022
drill campaign a total of 26,3 21 meters of drilling was completed in 86 drill holes. To date , classic Surebet
Zone mineralization and textures including considerable amounts of galena and sphalerite has been observed
in 92 drill holes (68 drill holes from 2022 and 24 drill holes from 2021) from 20 pads widely spaced within an
area of 1.6 square kil ometers that remains open. The 68 drill holes within the 1.6 square kilometer
mineralized area of the Surebet Zone intersected significant broad intervals containing galena, sphalerite and
pyrrhotite, including visible gold reported in two holes 300 meters apart. These drill intercepts visually mirror
with the large majority greatly exceeding the visual intercepts from the 24 holes drilled during 2021 which
contained the same mineralization (galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite) and textures (quartz
breccia/stockwork/vein) and on average assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87
meters*. The drill holes from this year intersected broader intervals of classic Surebet Zone mineralization
(average of all 2022 intercepts is 14.37 meters*; largest intercept 194.43 meters*) containing higher
concentrations of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite including two holes drilled 300 meters apart that
contained visible gold compared to the 2021 drill holes. This year also had multiple occurrences of surprise
Surebet mineralization intersected above and/or below the Surebet Zone.
Quinton Hennigh, Geologic/Technical Director of Crescat Capital, a strategic investor in Goliath Resources,
states: “The 2022 season appears to have been remarkably successful for Goliath Resources, a testament to
good strategic planning. This year's drilling across the Surebet Zone has yielded a systematic array of pierce
points over an expansive area of 1.6 sq km with all holes encountering visible intervals of quartz -sulphide
veining. Galena and sphalerite, both commonly associated with gold-silver mineralization, are noted in a larg e
number of holes which is a very good sign. Thickness of mineralized intercepts appears to be increasing down
dip along this prolific zone. We eagerly await a plethora of assays from these visually exciting drill holes."
Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: “We successfully completed an aggressive
expanded drill program this year with over 26,000 meters drilled in 86 holes. 68 of these holes focused on a
1.6 sq km area intercepted classic Surebet Zone mineralization over significant widths including visible gold
and high concentrations of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite. Including the 24 successful holes drilled last year,
we have a total of 92 holes all located within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone that remains open that
all the makings of a potential inferred maiden resource estimate subject to assays . To put th is zone into
perspective, that’s roughly the size of 300 American football fields put together. The 2022 intercepts from this
area have exceeded our expectations due to the fact they are much broader on average and visually contain
higher concentrations of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite than the previous years intercepts with similar
mineralization that assayed for high-grade gold-silver. The average width of observed mineralization has
significantly increased to 14.37 meters* from the 68 holes compared to 5.87 meters* from 24 holes completed
in 2021. We are looking forward to receiving the assay results with much anticipation. The Goliath team
together with our independent advisors and consultants will be focussed on unlocking the full potential of this
extremely rare and valuable discovery. The Surebet discovery continues to grow rapidly and tick all the boxes,
including excellent grades over broad minable widths starting at surface that is conducive for a low-impact
underground mining method. The use of gravity, exceptional geometry, continuity of grades and consistency
of the system demonstrated to date, indicated cost effective recovery, environmentally friendly geochemistry ,
and excellent proximity to infrastructure and most costs in Canadian dollars makes for excellent economics.
All of this coupled with a geopolitical stable location within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada
coupled with cost for exploration, labor makes this a very desirable jurisdiction . The project continues to
garner the attention from institutions and miners alike as we continue expanding the geometry of Surebet
towards our goal of proving up a new at surface high-grade world class discovery with multi-million ounce
potential. We would like to make a special thanks to those that have supported this project early on and the
entire team for the first-class job on accomplishing all our goals and more in 202 2; Working Together We
Succeed.”
Drill highlights
Ninety-two (92) drill holes inclusive of the 2021 holes (24) targeting the Surebet Zone from within a 1.6 square
kilometer area extending between Pad 1, Pad 5, Pad 11, Pad G and the outcropping Surebet zone have
intersected classic Surebet Zone mineralization and textures demonstrating excellent continuity in a zone that
remains open.
Recent drilling highlights include hole GD -22-100 collared from Pad 13 (650 meters West of Surebet Main),
which intersected a 46.89 meter* interval consisting of quartz -sulphide breccia and stockwork with semi-
massive to massive, interstitial and stringers of galena (up to 30 %), sphalerite (up to 10 %), chalcopyrite (up
to 3 %) and pyrrhotite (up to 20 %); hole GD-22-108 collared from West of Northeast Fault Pad (780 meters
South of Surebet Main), which intersected a 16.05 meter* mineralized interval from 32.34 meter* to 48.39
meter* consisting of quartz-sulphide breccia and stockwork with semi-massive, interstitial and stringers of
pyrrhotite (up to 10 %), sphalerite (up to 5 %) and galena (up to 1 %); and hole GD-22-101 collared from Pad
G (960 meters Southwest of Surebet Main), which intersected a 76.01 meter* mineralized interval from 61.08
meters* to 137.09 meters * consisting of a series of pyrrhotite, galena, and sphalerite-rich veins, and stringers
and semi -massive to massive fine -grained sulphides hosted in both, the sedimentary and volcanic rock
package. Several additional holes, including GD-22-102 (from W of NE Fault Pad), and GD-22-105 and GD-22-
110 (from Pad 13 ) have intersec ted multiple surprise zones characterized by classic Surebet-style
mineralization and textures including galena and sphalerite, suggesting the presence of multiple stacked
mineralized shear zones part of the same mineralizing system. The mineralized Surebe t Zone currently
remains open to the East of the new East extension zone, to the South and to the West. Refer to the table
below for the latest drill highlights.

All 68 holes drilled within the 1.6 square kilometer area during the 2022 drill campaign visually mirror or
exceed the 24 holes drilled during the 2021 season which contained the same mineralization (galena,
sphalerite, pyrrhotite) and textures (quartz breccia/stockwork/vein) and on average assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq
(4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87 meters*. Overall, the drill holes from the 2022 campaign intersected
broader intervals of classic Surebet Zone mineralization (average of all intercepts 14.37 met ers*; largest
intercept 194.43 meters*) containing larger amounts of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite compared to the
2021 drill holes. Several drill holes also intersected multiple surprise Surebet mineralized zones containing
significant amounts of galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite indicating that classic Surebet mineralization is not
limited solely to the Surebet Zone at its also confirmed to occur above and/or below the main mineralized
zone that outcrops on surface for 1 kilometer on strike and has been intercepted up to 1.3 kilometers down-
dip to the West at Pad 5 and remains open. These stacked surprise zones are blind as they do not present
themselves on surface and all remain open.
