TSX - Toronto Stock Exchange · Copper · Molybdenum · Silver · Gold · Canada
100% of the drill holes completed to date on Surebet have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization and 90% of drill holes completed thus far in 2025 contain gold visible to the naked eye (“VG-NE”). This clearly demonstrates the continuity and predictability of this expansive gold-rich system. Drilling at the Surebet Discovery has hit VG-NE in three distinct rock packages (quartz-sulphide breccias/stock work, RIRG Eocene-aged dykes and calc-silicate altered breccia) showing the untapped discovery potential at this remarkable high-grade gold system that remains open. 82 drill holes have been completed for a total of 55,000 meters in 2025, with only 33 holes remaining totaling 5,000 meters for a total of up to 115 holes. With roughly 2 weeks remaining, Goliath is on target to complete its planned up to 60,000 meter drill program with 9 rigs actively turning. Currently, assays are pending for 69 drill holes completed to date. Since drilling started in 2021, many holes have returned impressive metal factors with 9 holes delivering greater than 200 grams*meters (“g*m”) and up to 1346 g*m, 11 holes greater than 150 g*m, 25 holes greater than 100 g*m, 32 holes greater than 75 g*m and 62 holes greater than 50 g*m have been drilled on the Surebet Discovery that remains wide open.

The Surebet Discovery has widespread drill holes representing more than 400 pierce points over an area of 1.8 km 2 or greater than half the size of Central Park, New York City returning high metal factors showing it has the potential to be one of the most important high-grade gold discoveries in the Golden Triangle since the Eskay Creek discovery. Drill hole GD-25-328 intersected 18.58 g/t Au over 5.00 meters, including 23.22 g/t Au over 4.00 meters, including 30.95 g/t Au or 1.00 oz/t over 3 meters. Multiple occurrences of VG-NE were identified within quartz veins containing substantial amounts of semi-massive to massive sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite located approximately 70 meters below the Bonanza Zone defined as the contact between sedimentary unit above and volcanic unit below. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).

Drill hole GD-25-355 intersected 5.72 g/t Au over 12.20 meters, including 12.92 g/t Au over 5.20 meters, including 20.29 g/t Au over 3.20 meters from a zone consisting of quart-sulphide veining with massive chalcopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite where multiple occurrences of VG-NE have been confirmed within the Bonanza Zone. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). An accompanying infographic is available at: https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/29cf61bd-a75b-4329-8e24-6f31bd503f39
Drill hole GD-25-345 intersected two separate mineralized intervals within the Bonanza Zone at the sediment-volcanic contact. The first 5.09 g/t Au over 9.00 meters, including 9.04 g/t Au over 5.05 meters, including 14.88 g/t Au over 3.00 meters from a quartz-sulphide breccia intervals that transition into a broad quartz-sulphide vein containing moderate amounts of pyrrhotite, galena and sphalerite part of the. The second interval assayed 4.22 g/t Au over 6.03 meters including 8.50 g/t Au over 2.97 meters within a zone of strongly altered quartz-sulphide veining. The intercepts are approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).

Drill hole GD-25-317 intersected 6.56 g/t Au over 5.15 meters, including 10.22 g/t Au over 3.3 meters from the Golden Gate Zone. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).
Drill hole GD-25-321 intersected 4.59 g/t Au over 8.00 meters, including 6.53 g/t Au over 5.00 meters, including 7.42 g/t over 4.00 meters from the Bonanza Zone. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). Drill hole GD-25-362 intersected 4.73 g/t Au over 5.94 meters, including 5.67 g/t Au over 4.94 meters, including 6.80 g/t Au over 4.1 meters from the Surebet Zone. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). Drill hole GD-25-313 intersected 4.88 g/t Au over 7.5 meters, including 10.68 g/t Au over 3.40 meters from the Bonanza Zone. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock packages discovered to date on Surebet. This includes the gently dipping gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias/stockwork veins, the gold-rich intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged Reduced Intrusive Related Gold (RIRG) dykes, and the recently discovered broad gold-rich zones of calc-silicate altered breccia, all of which contain substantial amounts of VG-NE and remain wide open for expansion. This confirms the presence of a Motherlode magmatic source at depth, a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 1.8 km 2 high-grade gold system at Surebet. The 2025 planned campaign is under way and consists of up to 60,000 meters of systematic drilling with 9 drill rigs. The campaign aims at expanding the full geometry of the Surebet Discovery laterally and to depth. 100% of the drilling will be focused on the Surebet Discovery, where the Company has designed a detailed drill plan that will consist of: Testing for the Motherlode Magmatic intrusive gold source; Testing an additional 13 Eocene-aged dykes observed on the surface that have never been drill tested for RIRG mineralization; Infill drilling with the goal of increasing pierce points density in all known stacked veins with a particular focus on the highest-grade areas from the Bonanza Zone and Surebet Zone intersection domain; Testing zones where the RIRG dykes and gently dipping veins crosscut which are being called Goldilocks Zones as they are key locations where there are two styles of gold mineralization enriching the zones; and Expanding the known mineralized veins laterally and to depth where they currently remain open.
The Company is updating the high-grade gold wireframes as drilling progresses and results are received. Please see below the 3D detailed view of Surebet’s wireframes and Plan View of the high-grade Bonanza Zone.

TORONTO, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) ( the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from its 2025 drill program where drill hole GD-25-328 intersected 18.58 g/t Au over 5.00 meters, including 23.22 g/t Au over 4.00 meters, including 30.95 g/t Au or 1.00 oz/t over 3 meters at Surebet Discovery on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
100% of the drill holes completed to date on Surebet have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization as well as 90% of the 2025 drill holes contain visible gold to the naked eye (“VG-NE”) that clearly demonstrates the exceptional discovery potential remaining on the property. Drilling has been completed for 82 holes (55,000 meters) during the 2025 drill season, with 33 holes remaining (5,000 meters) for a total of 115 planned drill holes.
With roughly 2 weeks remaining, the Company is on target to complete the planned up to 60,000 meter program with 9 rigs actively drilling. The intercepts reported are approximately true width and reflect gold only assays (AuEq values will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).
Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “I am very pleased we continue to deliver high-grade gold results over mineable widths that increases the confidence level demonstrating Surebet's predictable continuity. The exceptional project management and team of geologists, drillers, pilots and all support staff are doing a tremendous job of completing the 60,000 meters drill program in this 2025 drilling season. We are within a few weeks of reaching the end of the drilling campaign. After drilling is completed, our season will last approximately an extra month of logging and then shipping samples for assaying. To date, we have only reported 14 drill holes of the planned up to 115 drill hole program. It’s likely that we will have a steady flow of assays to report for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026. The team is very motivated and enthusiastic as several of them have never worked on such a remarkable high-grade gold discovery as Surebet. Many of our geological team have not seen as much widespread visible gold to the naked eye in almost every hole during their entire careers at our grassroots discovery. We are very delighted with the progress our team has had and been able to do it safely and effectively, as well as host site visits with strategic investors. We wholeheartedly believe that the Surebet discovery is emerging as the most important grassroots high-grade gold discovery in the Golden Triangle since Eskay Creek. To think that only a few years ago Surebet was hidden by receding glaciers, in a short period of time has grown from a mineralized showing into a large high-grade gold discovery, which is a testament to the fantastic work of our entire team and astonishing geological endowment. I look forward to my fully booked roster of meetings (90+) this week with strategics and institutions alike at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, CO as well as Denver Mineral Exploration Symposium (DMES) in Golden, CO held at the Colorado School of Mines.”
Description Of Reported Drill Holes
Highlights from drill holes presented in this news release include exceptional high-grade gold from drill hole GD-25-328, which intersected 18.58 g/t Au over 5.00 meters, including 23.22 g/t Au over 4.00 meters, including 30.95 g/t Au or 1.00 oz/t over 3 meters where multiple occurrences of VG-NE were identified within quartz veins containing substantial amounts of semi-massive to massive sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite located approximately 70 meters below the Bonanza Zone defined as the contact between sedimentary unit above and volcanic unit below.
Drill hole GD-25-355 intersected 5.72 g/t Au over 12.20 meters, including 12.92 g/t Au over 5.20 meters, including 20.29 g/t Au over 3.20 meters from a zone consisting of quart-sulphide veining with massive chalcopyrite, pyrite and sphalerite where multiple occurrences of VG-NE have been confirmed.

The 2025 planned campaign is under way and consists of up to 60,000 meters of systematic drilling with 9 drill rigs. The campaign aims at expanding the full geometry of the Surebet discovery laterally and to depth. 100% of the drilling will be focused on the Surebet Discovery, where the Company has designed a detailed drill plan that will consist of: testing for the Motherlode Magmatic intrusive gold source; testing an additional 13 Eocene-aged dykes observed on the surface that have never been drill tested for RIRG mineralization; infill drilling with the goal of increasing pierce points density in all known stacked veins with a particular focus on the highest-grade areas from the Bonanza Zone and Surebet Zone intersection domain; testing zones where the RIRG dykes and gently dipping veins crosscut which are being called Goldilocks Zones as they are key locations where there are two styles of gold mineralization enriching the zones; and expanding the known mineralized veins laterally and to depth where they currently remain open.
Surebet Discovery Highlights
74 out of 82 holes (or 90%) drilled thus far in 2025 contain VG-NE and a 100% hit rate of drill holes have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization.
60 out of 64 holes (or 94%) drilled in 2024 contain VG-NE up to 11.5 mm (7/16 inches) in size, all of which returned high-grade gold.
The best hole drilled to date is GD-24-260 previously reported from the Bonanza Zone assayed 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 delivering a 1346 gram*meter hole (see news release dated January 13, 2025).
The best hole drilled to date from the RIRG Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025).
The best hole drilled to date from the third distinct rock package consisting of calc-silicate altered breccia is drill hole GD-25-337, which intersected 10.60 g/t Au over 22.82 meters, including 15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 meters, including two separate intervals consisting of 37.28 g/t Au or 1.20 oz/t Au over 3.36 meters and 36.11 or 1.16 oz/t Au over 3.08 meters. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received).
Multiple gently-dipping gold-mineralized stacked veins have been identified every year on the Surebet high-grade gold discovery. Recent discoveries include RIRG Eocene-aged dykes, Goldilocks Zones where the veins and vertical RIRG dykes crosscut (which are characterized by having high-grade gold in two temperature regimes) and recently discovered high-grade gold in a third distinct rock package. Which continuously increase the potential tonnage and gold content of the high-grade gold system at the Surebet discovery.
A total of 12 stacked gently dipping high-grade gold veins extend for 1.2 kilometers at the Surebet discovery, have been enhanced by four high-grade RIRG Eocene-aged dykes that are up to 25 meters wide and exposed along strike at surface for up to 1,500 meters have been discovered and modelled to date (see news release dated June 23, 2025).
The footprint of the mineralization discovered to date at Surebet is 1.8 km 2 , greater then half the size of Central Park in New York City and remains open in all directions.
Thanks to the mountainous topography, mineralization in the veins is exposed on the surface for 2.1 km of strike (1.0 km on the south slope and 1.1 km on the north slope) with a vertical relief of 700 meters.
A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process of high-grade gold mineralization at Surebet and outlines a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system, now in three distinct rock packages. Which gives the Surebet discovery tremendous untapped discovery potential to increase tonnage and gold content in the various known rock package. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene- aged RIRG 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.
