Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) is pleased to report assay results that confirm the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone to the Northeast by 320 meters of the previously known gold mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Golden Gate Zone remains open laterally and at depth.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Advisor to Goliath and Strategic Investor commented: “When I spoke with the Company prior to this drill season, they made it abundantly clear that a considerable number of the planned drill holes would test extensions of various lode systems at the Surebet Discovery. Given that there remains exceptional opportunity to grow the systems high-grade gold footprint, I was delighted to hear this. We are now seeing the impact of this strategic decision. Drill hole GD-26-420 encountered a 6.51 g/t AuEq over 5.73 meters across the Golden Gate lode in a position 320 meters northeast of its previous limit. I believe we will continue to see many further drill extensions over the course of the rest of the 2026 and the Surebet Discovery is only going to keep on growing with every drill program.”
Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our team is performing like a well-oiled machine. The goal of this 2026 drilling campaign is expansion and the directional drilling being utilized is paying off with the step outs being successful. The 320 meter step out of Golden Gate to the northeast is one example and nice surprise along the way. It is worth noting the amount of visible gold to the naked eye in the drill holes since we started drilling the Surebet discovery is unique, as well high-grade gold systems are not known to have such large footprints. After over 400+ drill holes have been completed to date the system remains open laterally and at depth. Grass roots High -grade gold systems tend to get challenging to grow them. But Surebet discovery is the opposite, we are challenging the geology and having no problems growing the system with aggressive step outs. The cadence of drill holes getting to the lab for assays is ideal, and we hope to have plenty more assay results throughout the rest of the year and into 2027.”
Drill hole GD-26-414 intersected multiple mineralized intervals belonging to the Surebet and Golden Gate zones. The Surebet Zone interval assayed 2.81 g/t Au over 4.00 m, including 9.79 g/t Au over 1.00 m part of the Surebet Zone. This first interval contains multiple occurrences of VG-NE within quartz-sulphide veins and breccias with substantial calc-silicate alteration. The Golden Gate interval assayed 9.87 g/t Au over 5.00 m, including 65.65 g/t Au over 0.75 m part of the Golden Gate Zone. This second interval is characterized by several occurrences of VG-NE associated with quartz-sulphide veins containing lenses of semi-massive pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, and minor chalcopyrite.
Drill hole GD-25-420 intersected the Golden Gate Zone extending it by 320 meters to the Northeast. This interval assayed 6.51 g/t AuEq (6.16 g/t Au and 7.27 g/t Ag) over 5.73 m, including 13.49 g/t AuEq (12.79 g/t Au and 14.12 g/t Ag) over 2.73 m, including 36.27 g/t AuEq (34.43 g/t Au and 35.17 g/t Ag) over 0.97 m consisting of a series of broad quartz-sulphide veins hosted in volcanic rocks where VG-NE occurs in association with semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, pyrite and galena.
All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization. 44 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 23,863 meters drilled in 2026.

The expanded Bonanza Zone has a strike of 1.8 km NW-SE and 1.8 km NE-SW. Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Bonanza is characterized by the presence of VG-NE as well as sphalerite and pyrrhotite in wide (up to 7 meter) intervals consisting of sheared quartz-sulphide breccia. Previously the Bonanza Zone contained 5 lodes up to 19 meters thick with a combined thickness of up to 27 meters and intercepts up to 8.35 g/t AuEq (8.31 g/t Au and 2.30 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-280) and remains open for expansion.

The expanded Golden Gate Zone has a strike of 1.6 km E-W and 1.5 km N-S. Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Golden Gate Zone is characterized by sets of veins and veinlets hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks and mineralized with VG-NE, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite as well as trace pyrite and chalcopyrite. Previously the Golden Gate Zone contained 18 lodes up to 14 meters with a combined thickness of up to 49 meters and with intercepts up to 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-260) and remains open for expansion.

Visible Gold to the Naked Eye has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 26 out of 38 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open.
The fully funded 2026 drill program is underway and will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth (all mineralized lodes remain open for expansion and new discoveries), as well as test for the Motherlode Magmatic Gold Feeder Source, focused on defining a resource. Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open. Additional drilling will be allocated to testing a number of lithological-structural features linked to magnetic anomalies strongly indicating the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source. Directional drilling where multiple drill holes are extended from a single mother-hole is being employed on selected drill holes in order to cut down on drill time and money spending while also increasing accuracy of drill targeting.

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). 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 of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.
