• High-grade gold has been identified in 7 zones and in three distinctive rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All these rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain wide open for expansion. This supports the presence of a Motherlode magmatic source at depth, a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 2.01 km² high-grade gold system at Surebet.
• The Surebet Discovery has widespread drill holes representing more than 1,500 pierce points (2021-2025) with a vast majority having 25 – 50 meter spacings that would most likely fall into the measured and indicated categories once an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is completed.
• The Surebet Discovery is a grassroots project that has evolved from the idea of exploring prospective untouched ground in an area recently exposed by glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement, to a mineralizing system consisting of 46 stacked gold-rich veins defined through over 200,000 meters of drilling, in a total of 21 months of work on the ground.

Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) is pleased to report additional assays from its 2026 drill program where drill hole GD-26-498 intersected 14.61 g/t AuEq over 6.00 meters and at the Surebet Discovery on its 100% owned Golddigger Property, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The 2026 drill program confirmed the continuity of this large, high-grade, gold-rich system. 100% of the drill holes completed to date on Surebet have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization, where 412 drill holes out of 483 (or 85%) contain VG-NE, clearly demonstrating the exceptional continuity and predictability of the Surebet System as well as the untapped discovery potential remaining on the property. Assays are still pending for 43 holes drilled in 2026.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “The 2026 drill program has not disappointed based on the previous and these results from our successful 2026 drill program. At this stage of the Surebet Discovery with over 200,000 meters and 483 holes with a 100% hit rate, we are not a one hit drill story. It’s the consistent grade and continuity that makes a mine and not one flashy hole. We have consistently shown there is ample evidence since the maiden 2021 drill program that our grassroots discovery has the potential to become the next high-grade gold mine in the Golden Triangle. We look forward to announcing the balance of the 43 holes from the 2026 drill program once received, complied and interpreted.”

The Company is exploring all options to unlock additional shareholder value, including a potential spin-out of certain assets/claims that are not being appreciated based upon Goliath’s current market-cap into David Resources Limited, a private company that is 100% owned by Goliath.

The 2026 drill program confirms the continuity of mineralization of the Surebet Zone and expansion of its high-grade core, highlighted by drill hole GD-26-493, which intersected 14.61 g/t AuEq over 6.00 meters, including 21.68 g/t AuEq over 4.00 meters, and a high-grade core of 42.31 g/t AuEq over 2.00 meters within a pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite rich quartz breccia associated with abundant VG-NE part the Surebet Zone. In addition, assay results for multiple quartz-sulphide intercepts belonging to the Surebet, Whopper, and Eldorado Zones demonstrate the continuity and predictability of grade distribution in the mineralized zones hosted in the sedimentary rock package.

Highlights include multiple drill holes that intersected the Surebet Zone: drill hole GD-26-490 that assayed 11.88 g/t AuEq over 4.00 meters; drill hole GD-26-465 that assayed 4.19 g/t AuEq over 8.60 meters; drill hole GD-26-455 that assayed 5.98 g/t AuEq over 6.37 meters; drill hole GD-26-442 that assayed 4.49 g/t AuEq over 4.35 meters; drill hole GD-26-486 that assayed 5.13 g/t AuEq over 5.07 meters; and drill hole GD-26-459 that assayed 5.92 g/t AuEq over 4.00 meters. Other highlights include drill hole GD-26-459 that intersected 4.34 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters in the Whopper Zone; and drill hole GD-26-480 that intersected 2.54 g/t AuEq over 8.06 meters in the Eldorado Zone. All 2026 drill holes to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization correlating with high-grade gold, with additional assays currently pending for a series of remaining 2026 holes.

The 2026 drill program achieved unprecedented scale and success, completing 48,443 meters across 97 holes using 7 drill rigs operating 24 hours a day for 94 days. The program maintained a 100% hit rate, with abundant occurrences of VG-NE. To date, over 200,000 meters have been drilled at Surebet across 483 holes, of which 85% contain VG-NE. As a result of multiple successful step-out drill holes, the total footprint of the Surebet system has been expanded to 2.01 Km², representing a 12% increase from the 1.8 Km² defined prior to the season. Specifically, the Bonanza Zone expanded from 1.27 to 1.51 Km² growing 750 meters to the southwest, 100 meters west, 100 meters north, and 160 meters northeast, while the Golden Gate Zone expanded from 0.85 to 1.17 Km², growing 480 meters to the northeast and 540 meters to the southwest.

Furthermore, the 2026 campaign successfully identified the Big Bulk Zone, a newly discovered mineralized area containing visible gold spanning the region between the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones where the structures converge. The central part of the Big Bulk Zone extends for 310 meters in length, 500 meters laterally, and 110 meters vertically. Individual mineralized intervals in this zone consist of numerous stacked mineralized veinlets spanning up to 58 meters hosted within volcanics with grades up to 3.60 g/t AuEq, presenting strong potential to be amenable to low-cost bulk mining methods.

In just 21 months of on-the-groundwork, the Surebet Discovery has advanced from a grassroots showing on virgin ground exposed by glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement, to an extensive high-grade gold mineralizing system with significant potential. The project now consists of 46 identified stacked gold-rich veins defined by over 200,000 meters of total drilling. The system’s scale continues to get larger with every drill program, with over 1,500 pierce points with a vast majority 25 – 50 meter spacing (2021 – 2025) distributed across an area of 2.01 km². The consistent high-grade gold results have drawn comparisons to some of the most significant discoveries in the Golden Triangle.

The Company is actively updating its high-grade gold wireframe models as assay results are received. Once all data from the 2026 program has been received, compiled, and modelled, a comprehensive drill plan for the 2027 season will be designed.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

• 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season have intersected gold mineralization, clearly demonstrating remarkable grade continuity and widths, with over 1,500 diamond drill hole intercepts (pierce points 2021 – 2025); ~77% have 25 – 50 meter spacings. Demonstrating the geological team has a great understanding of the system and its predictability.
• The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >200,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirm that the 2.01 km² Surebet Discovery has strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
• The most recent ore mineralization model incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill program identified five (5) stacked gold-mineralized vein systems/zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes/veins and multiple subvertical Eocene-aged dyke swarms. A good analogy for the stacked veins that are gently-dipping is the Pogo Mine in Alaska. (see Table 3 and Figure 5).

• A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
• Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath now controls 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres), spanning 56 kilometers of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
• The Golddigger Property is located adjacent to tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to existing infrastructure including the town of Kitsault proximal to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective 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 gold 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 shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned 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 adjacent to 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).
