About the Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly
prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden
Triangle of British Columbia. This area, in close proximity to the Red Line, has hosted some of
Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Ot her 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 used as key markers
when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.
The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and desirable metallurgy with gold recoveries from
gravity and flotation at a 327 -micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity
alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no
deleterious elements are present (see news release dated March 1, 2023).
The Property is in a well positioned location that is near 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 Observatory 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 of British Columbia and houses an international
container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.
