Golden Cariboo Acquires District Lot Adjacent to the Historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine

In This Article:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - (NewMediaWire) - November 12, 2024 - Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) wishes to announce the acquisition of the Washburn Lateral District Lot on the Company's mineral claims. The Washburn Lateral is a 20.0 ha claim immediately northeast from the historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine (see Figures 1 and 2 enclosed) and contains the undersurface mineral rights to the claim area. The collar for the discovery hole QGQ24-08 in the North Hixon zone returning 0.29 g/t Au over 263.10 m (see Company news release dated June 18 2024) lies approximately 43 m northwest of the boundary of the Washburn Lateral.

The District Lot was originally located in 1913 and once owned by the Quesnelle Quartz Mining Company Ltd. Despite its proximity to the historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine, the lot has seen very limited exploration in its history and has remained virtually untested by drilling. A possible lone drill hole on the lot appears to have been drilled in 1972 on the southern corner and totaled 91.44 m, intersecting younger, post mineral cover rocks (see Figure 2).

Golden Cariboo's President and CEO Frank Callaghan stated: "Acquiring the Washburn Lateral is an important milestone for the Company, providing us with a key parcel of land within our multi-kilometer gold trend on our Property. With this District Lot now in hand, the Company is able to test our gold trend to the southeast from our discovery made in the North Hixon zone earlier this year."

The Washburn Lateral District Lot is being acquired for a cash payment of 10,000EUR and 200,000 Company shares at a price of C$0.20, in a sales agreement dated October 18, 2024, subject to approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
