- GD-24-260 intercepted the highest concentration of visible gold and its best high-grade gold drill hole to date at the Surebet Discovery from the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone that sits ~200 meters above the valley floor level. Mineralization is within a vein-hosted band of semi-massive pyrrhotite, where the gold occurs in alloys with silver, bismuth and tellurium. Mineralization was also intercepted in the Surebet Zone that sits above Bonanza; both remain wide open:
- Bonanza Zone: 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters.
- Surebet Zone: 5.51 g/t AuEq (5.39 g/t Au and 9.82 g/t Ag) over 3.40 meters within 2.96 g/t AuEq (2.89 g/t Au and 5.46 g/t Ag) over 6.35 meters.

- With only 3 months of drilling in 2024 and the strong gold mineralization observed in multiple drill holes the size of the known Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone has been nearly doubled from an area 180,000 m2 (720 x 612 x 410 meter triangular area) to 341,000 m2 (835 x 685 x 612 x 410 meter polygon area) that remains wide open.

- 100 % of 243 holes drilled at the Surebet Discovery intersected the targeted mineralized zones, of which 106 intersected visible gold and/or abundant visible gold including coarse-grained visible gold. This includes 64 holes drilled in 2024 which intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing visible gold and/or abundant visible gold including coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity and predictability of this extensive high-grade world class gold discovery that remains wide open.
- Assays are still pending on 89 of 105 holes (85%): 50 drilled in 2024 (42 have visible and/or abundant visible gold including coarse-grained visible gold), 13 drilled into the Reduced Intrusive Dykes 2021-2023 (6 have visible and/or abundant visible gold), 14 relogged shoulders 2021 - 2023 (3 have visible and/or abundant visible gold) and 12 drilled into volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style mineralization at our newly discovered Treasure Island, 40 km to the north of the Surebet system.
- An extensive trend of abundant visible gold distribution has been observed in multiple stacked veins in the sediments, at the contact of the sediments and volcanics, as well as in the volcanics. High in the system the visible gold is sporadic and fine-grained, then there is a transition to fine-grained abundant visible gold and coarse-grained visible gold as drilling has gone deeper into the gold mineralizing system. Visible gold is hosted within quartz-veins and quartz-breccias observed in all the rock packages, including the reduced intrusion related zones.
- Metallurgical testing has shown exceptional gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and floatation requiring only a 327 micrometer crush, with 48.8% occurring as free gold; no deleterious elements detected, and no cyanide required to recover the gold.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical Advisor of Goliath Resources, states: "Drill intercepts from the Bonanza Shear Zone continue to generate remarkable gold values that strongly indicate this important structural zone is a likely feeder to the overall Surebet gold system. While other larger structures such as the Surebet Shear and the Golden Gate Zone are important, and should in no way be discounted, the Bonanza Shear is living up to its namesake. Not only are exceptional gold grades present, but the Bonanza lode, a relatively flat-oriented structure, displays robust thicknesses. Given the numerous drill intercepts that have penetrated this lode to date, it is clearly expansive, too, measuring at least 800 meters along strike and 600 meters down dip. Many assays from these holes will be returning over the coming weeks, but already, it is clear that Goliath needs to carry out a systematic drill campaign in 2025 to test this entire area as well as for extensions of the system as it remains open. We now have supporting evidence that gold in the Surebet system is likely fed by a gold-rich reduced intrusion. Goliath now needs to fully explore the Bonanza Zone, as well as each and every gold-bearing structure that is encountered in order to determine where all the fluids that emanated from this intrusion carried and deposited high-grade gold. Goliath is clearly on the right track.”
Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: "The more we drill, the bigger and higher grade the Surebet system gets. This has been clearly demonstrated by 100% of the holes drilled intercepting targeted zones or multiple stacked veins of mineralization, of which 92% contained visible gold and or abundant visible gold including coarse-grained visible gold as seen in GD-24-260 drilled this year. It's our best ever Bonanza grade drill hole to date that reminds of the original drill holes from Eskay Creek & Aurelian Resources with our exceptional 39.00 meter intercept of 34.52 g/t AuEq (1.11 oz/T AuEq). We look forward to outlining the full extent of this world-class discovery with future drilling as it remains wide open in all directions. We firmly believe what has been found to date is only a tip of the iceberg. The feeder-source to this extensive high-grade system is indicated to be a reduced intrusion which would be a significant material addition to the potential scale and geometry of the Surebet Discovery. This new gold system continues to exceed our expectations based on the shear size and area containing multiple stacked high-grade veins like a layer cake, including the newly discovered mineralized veins containing visible gold 480 meters below the valley floor level that remains wide open. The system continues to deliver exceptional results consistent with the characteristics of a district scale Tier 1 high-grade gold asset. We are also very keen to report assays from our maiden drill program from the high-grade Treasure Island volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style discovery included in the 89 remaining holes as they become available in the near future.”
During the 3 months drill season in 2024, the area of high-grade gold mineralization within the known Bonanza Zone (formerly described as the Bonanza High-Grade Gold Triangle) has been expanded and nearly doubled from a triangular area measuring 720 x 612 x 410 meters to a polygon area measuring 835 x 685 x 612 x 410 meters that remains wide open. All 64 holes drilled in 2024 have intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing occurrences of visible gold and/or abundant visible gold including coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity and predictability of this extensive high-grade gold system that remains wide open in all directions.
