Executive Summary

  • Golden Cariboo Resources provided a detailed recap of its 2025 exploration program at the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, including total drill metres and key assay results.
  • New PhotonAssay™ technology re‑analysis increased reported gold grades by 5.9% for hole QGQ24‑20, confirming higher-grade mineralization.
  • Significant intercepts were disclosed: QGQ25‑23 returned 0.56 g/t Au over 99.84 m; the Km Uno Zone yielded up to 1.1 g/t Au with notable silver grades.

Key Details

  • Drilling Summary (2025): 1,729.79 m (5,675 ft) drilled in eight NQ‑sized surface diamond holes; completed remaining 90.18 m of hole QGQ24‑21 and drilled 354.19 m of the QGQ25‑28 program (still in progress at year‑end).
  • Program Timeline: Drilling paused on 18 Dec 2025; resumption planned for early 2026 to test northern extension of the Halo zone and down‑dip mineralization of MMI gold‑in‑soil anomalies.
  • PhotonAssay™ Implementation: Adopted as standard assay protocol; re‑analysis of QGQ24‑20 increased gold grade from fire assay by 5.9% (0.56 g/t Au over 475.4 m, including 236.88 m at 1.06 g/t Au).
  • Key Intercepts:
  • QGQ25‑23: 0.56 g/t Au over 99.84 m starting at 182.20 m depth; terminated in Halo zone mineralization.
  • Km Uno Zone (≈2 km SE of Halo): Samples returned 1.1 g/t Au with 8.0 g/t Ag and 0.57 g/t Au with 3.3 g/t Ag, aligning with airborne resistivity, ground conductivity, and soil anomaly data.
  • Laboratory Partnership: Engaged MSALABS (Prince George, B.C.) to conduct PhotonAssay™ for gold and silver, leveraging proximity for faster turnaround.
  • Current Sample Status (as of release):
  • QGQ25‑25 samples in analysis at MSALABS.
  • QGQ25‑26 & QGQ25‑27 split on‑site awaiting shipment.
  • QGQ25‑28 logged; drilling to continue in January 2026.
  • Future Exploration Plans (2026): Intent to “significantly scale up” drilling and trenching across the 94,899 ha land package, expanding regional geological understanding.
