• With only 15 months of boots on the ground, the strong mineralization consistently observed in 100% of all 243 drill holes 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.

• Confirmation of high gold grades in the recently discovered Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) system characterized by considerable amounts of visible gold, bismuth, and molybdenum mineralization in the felsic to intermediate porphyritic dykes on Surebet as well as in the intrusions surrounding Surebet could greatly increase the size potential of the Surebet Discovery.

• 100% of 243 widespread holes drilled on Surebet intersected the targeted mineralized zones in 300 intercepts, 106 of which intersected visible gold including the 64 holes drilled in 2024 which intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing visible gold, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity and predictability of this extensive high-grade world- class gold discovery.

• Metallurgical testing has shown exceptional gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation requiring only a 327 micrometer crush, with 48.8% occurring as free gold; cyanide required to recover the gold.
• Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the 1.2 km stacked layers of high-grade gold mineralization that remains open in all directions, including to depth and vectoring in on the reduced intrusion indicated at depth believed to be the source for the extensive high-grade gold mineralization on the Surebet Discovery currently covering an area of at least 1.8 km².
• Assays compilation, interpretation and modeling are underway for an additional 77 holes and will be announced shortly: 39 drilled in 2024 (33 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 12 drilled into the Reduced Intrusive Dykes 2021-2023 (5 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 14 relogged shoulders 2021 – 2023 (3 have visible and/or abundant visible gold) and 12 from VMS style mineralization at Treasure Island 40 km to the north of the Surebet Discovery.

Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: “Words of wisdom from a brilliant geologist is that all exploration targets start out with big geophysical anomalies or geochemical anomalies that get smaller the more you drill them, whereas mines are different, in that they get better the more you drill them and have pleasant surprises along the way. Evidence that Surebet is progressing in the latter scenario can be seen in the drilling from the 2023 and 2024 drilling seasons. In 2023, we saw visible gold in 32% of the drill holes, while in 2024 that dramatically increased to 92% of the drill holes and had abundant visible gold and coarse-grained visible gold. Clearly demonstrating that the discovery is getting more robust as we follow the gold mineralization down the mountain, and equally as impressive is that our Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone is only 200 metres above the valley floor where it comes right to the surface. One of the pleasant surprises this year was that while drilling for expansion of known stacked veins, we found new veins in the same drill hole which greatly reduces the cost of discovery. What is astonishing to our geological team is that considering the transition of the visible gold in the system there is a very good chance that we are still at the top of the system and are still moving toward the source of the gold mineralizing system. I like to look at the value of gold per gram and then consider the mineable intersections and it is clear that the Surebet discovery is without a doubt a world-class discovery, in one of the world’s premier jurisdictions (the Golden Triangle of British Columbia which is a prolific high-grade mining camp) and that we have the most important high-grade gold discoveries in the Golden Triangle in many years. We look forward to announcing the remaining 77 drill holes from the 2024 season from our Golddigger property.”

Assays compilation, interpretation and modeling are underway for an additional 77 holes and will be announced shortly: 39 drilled in 2024 (33 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 12 drilled into the Reduced Intrusive Dykes 2021-2023 (5 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 14 relogged shoulders 2021 – 2023 (3 have visible and/or abundant visible gold) and 12 from VMS style mineralization at Treasure Island 40 km to the north of the Surebet Discovery.

High-grade mineralization has been confirmed in 243 drill holes containing 300 intercepts in 8 known stacked mineralized gold veins as well as the reduced intrusion feeder dykes within the 1.8 km² area and over 1.2 km deep that remains open laterally and to depth, clearly showing the exceptional continuity of widths and grades at Surebet. Confirmation of high gold grades in the recently discovered Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) system characterized by considerable amounts of visible gold, bismuth, and molybdenum mineralization in the felsic to intermediate porphyritic dykes on Surebet as well as in the intrusions surrounding Surebet could greatly increase the size potential of the Surebet Discovery.

Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the mineralization in all directions, including to depth vectoring in on the reduced intrusion indicated source for the extensive high-grade gold mineralization on the world-class Surebet discovery.

All 64 holes drilled in 2024 have intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing visible gold, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity of this extensive high-grade gold system that remains wide open in all directions.

Table 1: Highlights for drill holes reported in this news release

The continuity and predictability of the newly expanded thick gold Bonanza High Grade Gold Zone has previously been drill tested where GD-23-197 assayed 34.03 g/t AuEq (1.09 oz/t AuEq) over 9 meters (released October 17, 2023), GD-24-235 assayed 35.04 g/t AuEq (1.13 oz/t AuEq) over 5.25 meters (released July 30, 2024), GD-24-249 assayed 30.55 g/t AuEq (0.98 oz/t AuEq) over 8.95 meters (released December 12, 2024), and GD-24-260 assayed 132.93 g/t AuEq (4.27 oz/t AuEq) over 10.00 meters (released January 13, 2025). The new Bonanza High-Grade Zone outcrops on the surface 200 meters above the valley floor at an elevation of 900 meters above sea level.

The Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone remains open in all directions, including to depth, where the new Deep Zone was discovered at 1,239 meters downhole from the Bang On Pad, only 480 meters below the valley floor level. This zone contains multiple quartz-sulphide veins and breccias with chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite demonstrating the tremendous untapped discovery potential of the Surebet system. The mineralized zones contain significant amounts of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite and remains wide open. Assays for all holes that intersected the new Deep Zone are pending.

The Company looks forward to continuing to expand the mineralization at Surebet and increase the understanding of the geometry and controls of the mineralization with additional modelling as results become available in the immediate future. The discovery of the RIRG mineralization clearly indicates proximity to the source of this extensive mineralizing system. Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the mineralization in all directions, including to depth towards the indicated source for the fluids responsible for the extensive high-grade gold-silver mineralization on the world-class Surebet discovery.

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.
