TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report final assay results for the 2024 drill season, with exceptional high-grade gold intercepts of up 9.39 g/t AuEq (8.99 g/t Au and 12.21 g/t Ag) over 10.17 meters within 7.33 g/t AuEq (7.01 g/t Au and 9.70 g/t Ag) over 13.10 meters from multiple mineralized veins that remain open at Surebet on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, B.C. All 8 original layers identified through drilling and modelling on Surebet (Surebet Upper, Surebet Lower, Bonanza, Golden Gate, Whopper, Goldzilla, Eldorado and Big One) have all been significantly expanded and all remain wide open with strong additional expansion potential. 4 new zones have been confirmed and modelled in 2024 bringing the total gold-rich stacked layers to 12, all of which remain wide open for expansion. 100 % of the drill holes completed to date within a 1.8 km2 area and to a depth of up to 1.2 km intersected mineralization with excellent gold grades, clearly demonstrating minable widths and grades and exceptional continuity and predictability of this large expanding world-class gold discovery that remains wide open both laterally and to depth with tremendous untapped discovery potential remaining.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Geologic/Technical Director of Crescat Capital, a strategic investor in Goliath Resources, states: “Goliath achieved all goals that it set for its 2024 Surebet drill program. New, well-positioned drill holes rapidly expanded the footprint of the stacked lode system, additional lodes were discovered and the likely causative intrusion from which the Surebet gold system originates has now identified. Importantly, because the 2024 program was expanded with many additional holes, a clear picture of where and how high-grade mineralization is distributed throughout the lode system is taking shape, especially within the prolific Bonanza Zone. This is critical, because this information now allows Goliath’s team to sharpen their focus with future drilling to maximize the efficiency with which they drill these high-grade areas. While 2024 drilling more fully established the architecture of the Surebet lode system, 2025 is going to be all about fleshing out extent of the robust high-grade zones that are now readily recognizable.”
Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: “Our 2024 drilling season was our best one to date, as we had several pleasant surprises. Early in the season, we quickly saw a dramatic increase in the percentage of visible gold from the 2023 season which had 32% of visible gold and 92% in 2024. As we are following the gold system down the mountain with our drilling, we are seeing the number of stacked lenses increase, and the abundance and coarseness of the visible gold dramatically increase. One of our best intersections in 2023 was a 65.00 g/t AuEq intersection over 7.9 meters. Our best hole to date from all drilling at Surebet was in 2024 that returned 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39.00 meters. This remarkable hit is at the intersections of the Surebet stacked zones and the Bonanza zone, in an area we call the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone. Of course, our 2025 drilling season will be focused on expanding the known stacked layers of high-grade gold discoveries at Surebet (especially to keep following the system toward the feeder of the Surebet and Bonanza discoveries), we are also delighted to have a drill confirmed VMS type discovery at Treasure Island (likely at the very top of the system) that we will also advance in 2025. Another impressive discovery in 2024 is high-grade Reduced Intrusion Related gold zones that come from deeper and cut vertically through the stacked veins that could lead us to the Motherlode feeder source. As we drill further into the Surebet discovery, our geological team continues to see the geological similarities between the Pogo Mine in Alaska with stacked veins including visible gold. Also, it appears Surebet’s current stacked mineralization sits on top of a high-grade Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) that could substantially amplify the size of the entire system. Every drill season Surebet gets better, with several pleasant surprises each year and our team become more confident that we have found the most important new high-grade gold discovery in the prolific Golden Triangle of British Columbia in many years.”
Strong gold mineralization has been confirmed with assays in 100% of 243 widespread drill holes containing >300 intercepts within a 1.8 km2 area to date. Confirmation of multiple stacked high-grade gold veins and widespread gold-rich reduced intrusion feeder dykes, confirms the continuity of the widths and grades at Surebet demonstrating this world class gold system has tremendous additional untapped expansion potential remaining.
One new high-grade zone located between Surebet Lower and Bonanza assayed up to 45.60 g/t AuEq (45.36 g/t Au and 19.45 g/t Ag) over 5.95 meters and is characterized by high-concentration of visible gold within mostly quartz-rich breccia and vein stockwork. High-grade gold mineralization up to 12.67 g/t AuEq (12.39 g/t Au and 19.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters has also been confirmed in the Golden Gate zone from 603.00 - 608.00 meters downhole in one of the deepest zones discovered to date located just above the valley floor. The Golden Gate zone remains wide open demonstrating the exceptional additional discovery potential at depth.
With only 15 months of boots on the ground, the high-grade mineralization consistently observed in 100% of all 243 drill holes with >300 intercepts collared within a 1.8 km2 area to date clearly demonstrates the continuity and predictability of this extensive mineralizing system that remains open in all directions providing for excellent additional discovery and expansion potential. All 64 holes drilled in 2024 have intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing occurrences of visible gold or coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity of this extensive high-grade gold system that remains wide open in all directions.
The Company looks forward to continuing to expand the mineralization at Surebet and increase the understanding of the geometry and controls of the mineralization. The discovery of the RIRG mineralization clearly indicates proximity to the source of this extensive mineralizing system.

Treasure Island Drill Results
Mineralization confirmed in quartz-sulphide veins on the original Treasure Island discovery from channel samples has been intercepted in multiple holes from the inaugural drill program executed in 2024. The gold sulphide mineralization seen in drill holes is comparable to what was observed in surface grab and channel samples. The 2024 drill highlights include drill holes TI-24-04 that intercepted 1.25 g/t AuEq over 7.12 meters, including 2.37 g/t AuEq over 2.90 meters, and drill hole Ti-24-05 which intercepted 1.34 g/t AuEq over 4.10 meters, including 2.26 g/t AuEq over 2.25 meters. Mineralization consists of significant intervals of quartz-sulphide veining and breccia composed of semi-massive to massive pyrite and chalcopyrite hosted in a strongly deformed mudstone unit.
Gold mineralization at Treasure Island is hosted in structurally controlled quartz-sulphide rich veins and shear zones rich in pyrite and chalcopyrite. As geophysical surveys are very good at identifying sulphides at depth, at the beginning of the 2025 season a geophysical survey will be completed to help target the mineralization beneath Treasure Island focused on delineating strong drill targets in both the subsurface of the Treasure Island outcrop as well as under the surrounding glacier in preparation for drilling.

Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in the world class geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest mines including 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 used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.
The Surebet discovery has exceptional continuity and excellent metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% with 48.8% of it as free gold from gravity alone at a 327-micrometer crush (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present such as mercury or arsenic.
The Property 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 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 located on the west coast and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.
About CASERM (Center to Advance the Science of Exploration to Reclamation in Mining)
Goliath is a paying member and active supporter of CASERM, an organization that represents a collaborative venture between Colorado School of Mines and Virginia Tech aimed at transforming the way that geoscience data is used in the mineral resource industry. Research focuses on the integration of diverse geoscience data to improve decision making across the mine life cycle, beginning with the exploration for subsurface resources continuing through mine operation as well as closure and environmental remediation. As a CASERM member, the Company requested a study and written report to be performed by Colorado School of Mines analysing Surebet’s origin of mineralization. The study confirmed an extensive porphyry feeder source at depth for the high-grade gold mineralising fluids at Surebet.

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 intended to be representative of the material sampled.
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 shack. 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™. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog Geo™ and QGIS™ 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 Paragon Geochemical labs facilities in Surrey, BC or ALS labs facilities in North Vancouver, BC. Paragon Geochemical is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. Samples submitted to Paragon received gold and silver analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The entire crushed sample is riffle split and weighed into multiple (300-500g) jars that are submitted for photon assay. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, causing them to emit secondary gamma rays, which are measured to identify and quantify the metals present. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. 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.
Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and AuEq metal values are calculated using: Au 2797.16 USD/oz, Ag 31.28 USD/oz, Cu 4.25 USD/lbs, Pb 1955.58 USD/ton and Zn 2750.50 USD/ton on January 31st, 2025. 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.
