(via TheNewswire)

March 1 , 2026 - TheNewswire - Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) (the “Company”) announce s its intention to commission an independent Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) for the Halo and Main z ones at its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property (the “Property”) located approximately 4 km northeast of Hixon in the Cariboo Gold District of British Columbia , Canada .

The proposed MRE will incorporate assay and geological data from the Company’s first 28 NQ-sized surface diamond drill holes completed and reported on the Property, together with up to nine historic al drill holes, at and adjacent to, the Main z one.

“Commissioning an independent resource estimate at this stage reflects the strength and consistency of the drilling results we have generated to date,” stated Frank Callaghan, President of Golden Cariboo Resources. “From our very first holes, we have observed encouraging geological continuity and mineralization across both the Halo and Main zones. While this work remains at the exploration stage, the data density and repeatability we are seeing have provided management with sufficient confidence to move forward with a formal NI 43-101 resource estimation. We believe this represents an important milestone in systematically advancing the Property.”

All drill results referenced herein have been previously disclosed by the Company and are available on SEDAR+ and the Company’s website.

The independent MRE will be prepared by a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and will include validation of the drill database, geological modeling, grade estimation and classification of the mineral resource estimate in accordance with CIM Definition Standards.

The Company notes that undertaking a mineral resource estimate following an initial drill campaign is not typical in early-stage exploration. However, the consistency of geological and assay results encountered across both the Halo and Main z ones has provided sufficient information to justify an independent technical assessment at this time.

Importantly, Golden Cariboo’s current drilling programs remain ongoing and are designed to continue testing the known mineralized footprint beyond the areas contemplated for the initial MRE. Results from additional drilling may support future updates to any resource that may be estimated.

Golden Cariboo cautions investors that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The MRE will be subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations contained in the independent technical report to be filed on SEDAR+ upon completion. The Company will provide further updates regarding the selection of the independent consultant and anticipated timing for completion of the MRE.  

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jean Pautler, an independent consultant commissioned by the Company. Jean Pautler is a Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.), registered with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the Province of BC (“APEGBC”) and licensed by Engineers and Geoscientists BC, and is a “Qualified Person” with respect to NI 43-101.

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property which is bordered by Osisko Development (NSE:ODV/TSXV:ODV), partly intertwined with them at the north end of the Cariboo Gold Project, and located along a favourable corridor adjacent to the Spanish and Eureka thrust faults over a 94,899 hectare (234,501 acre) area. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90-kilometer (56 mile) trend, from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, have recorded production with successful placer mining continuing to this day.

Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Property includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 and developed over a footprint of about 150m x 150m (< 6 acres) at the Main zone straddling Hixon Creek. Overall, the geological setting of the gold mineralization at the Company’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property shows strong similarities with the Spanish Mountain gold deposit, situated 120 km (75 miles) towards the southeast along the same geological trend. As a sediment-hosted vein (SHV) deposit, the Spanish Mountain deposit is considered to belong to the epizonal orogenic subclass of gold deposits which include some of the world’s largest deposits such as Muruntau, Uzbekistan and Bendigo, Australia.
