Goliath drills 22.82 m of 10.62 g/t Au at Golddigger
Executive Summary
- Goliath Resources reported high‑grade gold intercepts from drill hole GD‑25‑337 at the Surebet discovery, including 10.60 g/t Au over 22.82 m (15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 m) with two sub‑intervals of >36 g/t Au.
- The 2025 drill program remains on track to complete up to 60,000 m, with 65 holes (45,000 m) already drilled and 50 holes (≈15,000 m) remaining.
- Overall drilling success is exceptional: 100 % hit rate for quartz‑sulphide mineralization and ~95 % of holes contain visible gold (VG‑NE), underscoring the discovery’s large untapped potential.
Key Details
- Hole GD‑25‑337 (Surebet, Golddigger property):
- 10.60 g/t Au over 22.82 m (≈242 g·m⁻¹) – true width, gold‑only assay.
- 15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 m.
-
Two high‑grade sub‑intervals: 37.28 g/t Au (1.20 oz/t) over 3.36 m and 36.11 g/t Au (1.16 oz/t) over 3.08 m.
-
Additional recent intercepts:
- GD‑24‑277: 12.16 g/t Au over 6.0 m, including 18.22 g/t Au core over 4.0 m.
- GD‑25‑318: 11.03 g/t Au over 5.7 m.
- GD‑25‑343: 10.08 g/t Au over 5.0 m.
-
GD‑25‑334: 6.85 g/t Au over 6.0 m.
-
Drilling program status (2025):
- Planned up to 60,000 m total; nine rigs active.
- Completed 65 holes (45,000 m); 50 holes (~15,000 m) remain.
-
Target: expand geometry of Surebet laterally and at depth, test for a “Motherlode” magmatic source, drill additional Eocene‑aged dikes, infill high‑grade zones, and explore Goldilocks cross‑cut zones.
-
Hit rates & VG‑NE presence:
- 100 % of holes intersect substantial quartz‑sulphide mineralization.
- ~95 % of 2025 holes contain visible gold (VG‑NE).
-
94 % of 2024 holes contained VG‑NE up to 11.5 mm, all with high‑grade gold.
-
Metallurgy:
- Gold recoveries of 92.2 % from gravity and flotation at a 327‑µm crush; 48.8 % free gold recovered by gravity alone (no cyanide required).
-
No deleterious elements identified in the ore.
-
Land package & infrastructure:
- Controlled land increased to 91,518 ha (56 km of Red Line trend).
-
Property has tidewater barge access to Prince Rupert and proximity to existing infrastructure (Kitsault, Alice Arm, Dolly Varden road).
-
Qualified Person: Rein Turna, P.Geo., independent director, NI 43‑101 qualified.
Notable Quotes
- Dr. Quinton Hennigh (Crescat Capital): “The success rate of mineralized intercepts encountered thus far is remarkable… Surebet is now continually delivering strong results.”
- Mr. Roger Rosmus (CEO): “Surebet is emerging as the most important grassroots high‑grade gold discovery in the Golden Triangle since Eskay Creek… this year’s drilling campaign is shaping up to be our most impressive yet.”
