Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE:
B4IF) (the
“Company” or
“Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results for
drill hole GD-23-157 from the Golden Gate Feeder Zone at its 100%
controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle,
B.C.
Hole GD-23-157 collared from Cliff Pad
within the Golden Gate Feeder Zone (500 m north of Pad A),
intercepted Visible Gold mineralization containing 23.00 meters*
of 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) including
14.00 meters* of 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag)
and 9.00 meters* of 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t
Ag). The hole drilled through a sedimentary package
consisting of interbedded mudstones and sandstones, crosscut by
several dykes of intermediate composition. A multitude of sulfide
and gold-rich quartz veins and breccias were intersected, which
were hosted in altered siltstone characteristic of the Surebet
Zone. The observed alteration style consists of chloritization in
veins and silicification extending from vein margins within the
host rock, consistently with previous high-grade occurrences from
the Surebet Zone. Sulfide mineralization ranges from stockwork to
semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena ± chalcopyrite and is
particularly pronounced from 129 m to 131 m and 136 m to 137 m. The
shallowest occurrence of Visible Gold was identified at 119 m
depth, associated with patchy pyrrhotite mineralization. Eleven
further Visible Gold occurrences were observed between 129 m and
139 m depth. The intercept reported in this news release is
interpreted to be the Surebet Zone and is one of five mineralized
intercepts intersected in GD-23-157. The assays for the remaining
intercepts are pending and will be release as soon as they become
available.

All the occurrences of Visible Gold to date have
been identified within quartz-breccia and veins in contact with or
in close proximity to sphalerite and/or galena mineralization. The
occurrence of visible gold has previously been independently
confirmed in 2022 by the Colorado School of Mines with whom the
Company is collaborating on a project aimed at determining the
origin and evolution of the gold mineralizing fluids at
Surebet.
Golddigger Property
The Golddigger Property is 100 % 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 3 kilometers of the ‘Red
Line’ that is host to multiple world class deposits. The Surebet
discovery has exceptional metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2%
inclusive of 48.8% free gold from gravity alone at a 327-micrometer
crush. Its is in an excellent location close in proximity to the
communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is permitted mill
site on private property. It is situated on tide water with direct
barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory
inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road
(190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers 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 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet
discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18
kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension
power (25 kilometers to the East of Surebet discovery). The city of
Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major
highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.),
while the town of Prince Rupert (population 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.

projects, and supervised the preparation of, and has reviewed and
approved, the technical information in this release.
Other
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 re-orientated, meterage blocks are
checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements
taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features
including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and
measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX
DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM
software and data from the 2017-2022 exploration campaigns. Drill
core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or
sulphide(s), or notable alteration are sampled in lengths of 0.5 to
1.5 meters. 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%.
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 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 units
(accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation,
type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.)
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. QA/QC samples
including blanks, standards, and duplicate samples were inserted
regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.
All samples are transported in rice bags sealed
with numbered security tags. A transport company takes them from
the core shack to the ALS labs 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 re-analyzed using the ME-OG62 and
Ag-GRA21 methods (gravimetric finish). For Au-SCR21 a large volume
of sample is needed (typically 1-3kg). The sample is crushed and
screened (usually to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles
from fine material. After screening, two aliquots of the fine
fraction are analysed 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.

* Widths are reported in drill core lengths and
the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and AuEq metal values
are calculated using: Au 1924.79 USD/oz, Ag 22.76 USD/oz, Cu 3.75
USD/lbs, Pb 2,128.75 USD/ton and Zn 2,468.50 USD/ton on August 9,
2023. There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver,
copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining
and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp
where Goliath’s project is located such as the Homestake Ridge Gold
Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource
Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge
Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. (Bothell,
Washington), dated May 29, 2020. Here, AuEq values were calculated
using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included
provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges,
refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%,
Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be
assumed that Zinc can be recovered with the Copper at the same
recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical
recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone
mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will
ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a
Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger
Project.
