Goliath Resources finds visible gold at Golddigger

2023-07-19 11:43 ET - News Release

Mr. Roger Rosmus reports

VISIBLE GOLD FOUND ON SURFACE AT FULL HOUSE NEAR SUREBET AT NEWLY DISCOVERED SHEAR ZONES ASSAYING 113.5 G/T GOLD & 249.0 G/T SILVER, NEW DRILL TARGET FOR 2023, GOLDEN TRIANGLE, B.C.

Goliath Resources Ltd. has discovered a brand new, strongly mineralized, 6.5-kilometre trend containing multiple stacked shear zones dubbed the Full House trend at its 100-per-cent-controlled Golddigger property in the Golden Triangle in British Columbia.

Highlights:

  • The newly discovered Full House trend consists of a series of stacked east-west-trending and north-dipping significantly mineralized shear zones sporadically outcropping at surface over three kilometres characterized by Surebet-style mineralization with massive to semi-massive galena and sphalerite that remains open.
  • Full House sits within a broader trend of multiple stacked shear zones traced for 6.5 kilometres that remains wide open.
  • Several highly mineralized newly discovered shear zones will be drill tested this season during the 2023 drill program currently under way.
  • Visible Gold was found in a grab sample on surface that assayed 113.5 grams per tonne gold and 249.0 grams per tonne silver at the Payday showing located within the upper portion of the Full House trend.
  • Full House is located five kilometres northwest of Surebet and 3.5 kilometres southwest of Goldswarm. All these zones are believed to be closely related and have most likely been mineralized by the same extensive high-grade feeder source at depth.
  • Assay results are pending for channel cuts from the Full House Main shear zone totalling 12 metres over a thickness of eight metres containing galena, sphalerite and pyrite.

The newly discovered zone referred to as Full House hosts Surebet-style mineralization containing galena and sphalerite in outcropping shear zones striking east-west and dipping to the north. These mineralized shear zones have been traced sporadically over at least three kilometres within a broader trend of multiple stacked shears traced for 6.5 kilometres that remains wide open. Several areas have already been identified as drill targets and will be tested with the drill bit during the current 2023 drill season. This new discovery is believed to be connected to the same high-grade feeder source at depth below Surebet (five kilometres to the southeast) and Goldswarm (3.5 kilometres to the northeast), all demonstrating the untapped remaining discovery potential on the Golddigger property along 56 kilometres of the Red Line that is largely unexplored. Prospecting on the new Full House discovery remains continuing.

Golddigger property

The Golddigger property is 100 per cent controlled, covering an area of 59,089 hectares (146,012 acres) and is in the world-class geological setting of the Eskay rift within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia and within three kilometres of the Red Line that is host to multiple world-class deposits. The Surebet discovery is in an excellent location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is permitted mill site on private property. It is situated on tidewater with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometres through the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometres from Terrace and 300 kilometres 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 seven kilometres to the east of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometres to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometres to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population of 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways and airport with supplies (food, fuel and lumber), while the town of Prince Rupert (population of 12,000) is located on the west coast and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport with supplies.

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then reorientated, metreage blocks are checked, metre marks are labelled, recovery and RQD (rock quality designation) measurements are taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features, including veins, dikes, cleavage and shears, are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX Deposit. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog Geo and QGIS software and data from the 2017 to 2022 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork veining and/or sulphide(s) or notable alteration are sampled in lengths of 0.5 metre to 1.5 metres. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half; one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. Standards, blanks and duplicates were added in the sample stream at a rate of 10 per cent.

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to Minfile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 kilogram to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS (Global Positioning System) units (accuracy of three to 10 metres) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip or grab) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples were then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. Quality assurance/quality control samples, including blanks, standards and duplicate samples, were inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10 per cent.

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. A transport company takes them from the core shack to the ALS lab facilities in North Vancouver. ALS is either certified to ISO 9001:2008 or accredited to ISO 17025:2005 in all of its locations. At ALS samples were processed, dried, crushed and pulverized before analysis using the ME-MS61 and Au-SCR21 methods. For the ME-MS61 method, a prepared sample is digested with perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids. The residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits were reanalyzed using the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 methods (gravimetric finish). For Au-SCR21, a large volume of sample is needed (typically one to three kilograms). The sample is crushed and screened (usually to minus 106 microns) to separate coarse gold particles from fine material. After screening, two aliquots of the fine fraction are analyzed using the traditional fire assay method. The fine fraction is expected to be reasonably homogenous and well represented by the duplicate analyses. The entire coarse fraction is assayed to determine the contribution of the coarse gold.

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.
