Executive Summary
- Goliath Resources announced the completion of its 2025 drill program at the Surebet Discovery, drilling >64,000 m in 110 holes—exceeding the original 60,000 m target.
- All 110 holes intersected substantial quartz‑sulphide mineralization; 76 % contain visible gold (VG‑NE). Assays are pending for 88 of the 2025 holes.
- The program confirmed continuity of a large, high‑grade, gold‑rich system across three distinct rock packages and set the stage for a 2026 drill plan.
Key Details
- Drilling Scope: 64,000 m in 110 holes; 9 rigs; one of North America’s largest helicopter‑supported programs in alpine terrain.
- Meterage Goal: Target was 60,000 m – exceeded by ~4,000 m (≈6.7 % over).
- Hit Rate: 100 % of holes intersected quartz‑sulphide mineralization; 76 % contain visible gold (VG‑NE).
- Assays Pending: Results pending for 88 holes drilled in 2025.
- Geologic Objectives Covered:
- Testing for a “Motherlode” magmatic source.
- Drilling 13 previously untested Eocene‑aged RIRG dykes.
- Infill drilling to increase pierce‑point density, especially in the Bonanza and Surebet zones.
- Targeting “Goldilocks Zones” where dykes intersect gently dipping veins.
- Lateral and depth expansion of known mineralized veins.
- Key Intercepts (historical best holes):
- GD‑24‑260 (Bonanza Zone) – 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m; 132.93 g/t AuEq over 10 m; 166.04 g/t AuEq over 8 m.
- GD‑22‑58 (RIRG dykes) – 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m; peak 23.82 g/t AuEq over 5 m.
- GD‑25‑337 (calc‑silicate breccia) – 15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 m; up to 37.28 g/t Au over 3.36 m.
- System Scale: 12 stacked veins, >400 pierce points (2021‑2024), covering ~1.8 km² (>½ the size of Central Park).
- Metallurgy: Gold recoveries of 92.2 % from gravity & flotation at 327 µm crush; 48.8 % free gold recovered by gravity alone (no cyanide required).
- Future Plans: Core logging to be completed in the next few weeks; assay results will feed updated 3D wireframe models and a detailed drill plan for the 2026 season.
- Additional Context: Goliath’s land package now 91,518 ha (226,146 ac) with 56 km of Red Line trend exposure; infrastructure includes barge access to Prince Rupert and proximity to existing mines in the Golden Triangle.
Notable Quotes
“We have blasted past our goal of drilling 60,000 m this season… virtually all drill holes are encountering mineralized lodes, many with visible gold,” – Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Geologic & Technical Advisor.
“The more we drill the Surebet discovery the better it gets… we look forward to updating our 3‑D models once assays are in,” – Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO.
