Quick Summary

Goliath has reported high-grade gold results from drill hole GD-26-431 in the Bonanza Zone of its Surebet discovery in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The drill intersected two broad mineralized intervals: one assaying 9.12 grams per tonne (g/t) AuEq over 11.27 meters including visible gold and another assaying 4.70 g/t AuEq over 3.03 meters within a broader zone of 1.08 g/t AuEq over 20 meters proximal to the Big Bulk Zone. The article highlights the presence of stockwork veins, breccia, and various mineral associations in these intervals.

Story summary

In 2026, Goliath drilled at the High-Grade Gold Surebet discovery site in the Golden Triangle, B.C., where they found a significant gold deposit. Drill hole GD-26-431 intersected two broad mineralized intervals within the Bonanza Zone, including one that assayed 9.12 g/t AuEq over 11.27 meters, with visible gold to the naked eye and other valuable minerals like galena and sphalerite. The drilling results confirmed a consistent pattern of gold mineralization across multiple veins and shear zones in 52 out of 92 holes drilled this year, indicating that the Surebet system is expanding laterally and at depth beyond initial expectations.

Narrative

- Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 52 out of 92 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm consistency of gold mineralization widely disseminated throughout the Surebet system that remains open laterally and at depth; see Figures 4a - 4e. - Accompanying infographics are available at:https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/02f64576-d934-475a-b5ab-ad05551b9c21https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/542966ff-a180-42bf-a10c-d58471d8313b https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/10ec6c46-0b77-4058-8357-3615df27fcb8 https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/2587185d-05e0-42d0-ac6b-1646c1ed32de https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/ef950518-4d81-47b6-964b-0d770d8f8f77 -

🔮 We wanted to put the Surebet to test this year to see if we could get near the edges of the system, instead of finding the edges, the system is widening.
