2023 DRILL PROGRAM COMMENCES AT QUESNELLE GOLD QUARTZ MINE PROPERTY

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.'s drilling crews have arrived on site at the company's Quesnelle gold quartz mine property near Hixon in central British Columbia to commence the 2023 exploration campaign.

The company has a diamond drill onsite to start its 5,000-metre drilling program as outlined by the Jean Pautler, PGeo, National Instrument 43-101 report. The drilling campaign will expand on Golden Cariboo's successful maiden three-hole drill program completed in late autumn 2022, from which a 22.3-metre intercept of 0.69 gram per tonne gold was encountered (complete assays pending on two drill holes), including mineralization visually similar to Osisko Development Corp.'s recently producing Bonanza Ledge mine on Barkerville Mountain.

Company director Andrew H. Rees commented, "Golden Cariboo is excited to advance its exploration thesis that its Quesnelle gold quartz project contains similar host rocks and mineralization to Osisko Development's Cariboo gold project consisting of the Bonanza Ledge mine and the multimillion-ounce Cariboo gold mine on Island and Cow Mountains that is expected to go into production as early as this year."

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Jean Pautler, PGeo, a qualified person with respect to National Instrument 43-101.

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.

Golden Cariboo is rediscovering the Cariboo gold rush by proceeding with high-grade targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle gold quartz mine project, which is almost fully encircled on three of four sides by Osisko Development. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90-kilometre trend from the Cariboo Hudson mine north of the Quesnelle gold quartz mine have recorded production in excess of 2.6 million ounces of gold up to 1933 (Hall, 1986) and successful placer mining continues to this day.

Golden Cariboo's Quesnelle gold quartz mine property is four kilo northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The property includes the Quesnelle gold-silver quartz deposit, which was discovered in 1865 in conjunction with placer mining activities and produced 2,048 tonnes grading 3.14 grams per tonne gold and 4.18 g/t silver in 1932 and 1939, with an additional 217 tonnes of unknown grade reported in 1878 (B.C. Minfile, 2021). Hixon Creek, which dissects the Hixon gold claims, is a placer creek which has seen limited, small-scale placer production since the mid-1860s. From Ministry of Mines reports prior to 1945, estimates of up to $2-million worth of placer gold were mined from Hixon Creek.
