Goliath Resources – Drill Assays Return More High-Grade Gold and New Zone Of Bulk Tonnage Mineralization

Description

Roger Rosmus, Founder, CEO, & Director of Goliath Resources Ltd (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF), joins me for another exploration update at their Surebet Discovery on the Golddigger Property; located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.  We review a series of news releases from mid-August through early September which highlight more high-grade gold drill assays returned when stepping out from the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones.   A new zone of bulk-tonnage mineralization has also been identified between those 2 larger zones.


The fully funded 2026 drill program at the Surebet is targeting ~90 planned holes and approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization both laterally and at depth.  This year the team at Goliath elected to really test the geological model; focusing on big step-out drilling to expand the deposit footprint, and all holes reported thus far have encountered mineralization, significantly growing the overall deposit.

 

We started off discussing the drill holes coming back that continue to delineate high-grade gold, silver, and copper mineralization. Drill hole GD-26-436 from the Surebet Zone, intersected an extensive mineralized interval near the surface that assayed 7.38 g/t AuEq over 35.7 meters, including 19.51 g/t AuEq over 8.32 meters. This entire interval is characterized by veining, alteration, and anomalous gold grades throughout its length with multiple high-grade subintervals. It also contains several occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE), native silver associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia hosted in sandstones

 

There also has been a new understanding developed, through the relogging of prior year’s drill core and examining the new core from 2026, which is defining a new area of mineralization between Bonanza and Gold Gate.  This new area was originally referred to as the Volcanic Wedge, but has been re-branded by the exploration team as the “Big Bulk zone.”  Roger outlines that in a mining scenario this lower-grade bulk tonnage mineralization would still be extracted because there would be “no gold left behind.”

 

Drill holes GD-26-425 and GD-26-462 marked the presence of the volcanic Wedge Zone (Big Bulk zone) in the western and northeastern fringes of the mineralized system, respectively. These two newly discovered mineralized areas add to these two previously discovered Zone domains (see news August 31, 2026): the first located in the south-central part of the known mineralized system and the second in the recently announced 540 meter step-out to the Southwest of the Surebet system.

 

  • There are approximately 900 meters of untested volcanics by the drill bit separating the domains discovered in the West and Southwest of the system that have the potential to host further mineralization part of the volcanic Big Bulk Zone.
  • This new Zone of mineralization is characterized by broad intervals of gold within quartz-sulphide mineralization including (VG-NE) that typically extends for 10 – 50 meters in drill core, inclusive of close to surface grades of up to 1.97 g/t AuEq over 33 meters.

 

Quartz-sulphide mineralization intersected in multiple step-out drill holes expanded the Golden Gate Zone (located within the volcanics) by an additional 160 meters to the northeast, beyond the previously reported 320-meter expansion, bringing the total 2026 expansion to 480 meters on the northeastern side and 540 meters on the southwestern side of the Surebet system for a total expansion of 1,020 meters (see news releases dated August 10 and August 11, 2026). The resulting Golden Gate mineralized footprint is 1.17 km2 , representing a 38% increase compared to 0.85 km2 defined prior to the 2026 drilling program. The G
