Executive Summary

  • Golden Cariboo Resources provided a comprehensive update on its 2025 exploration program at the Quesnelle Gold Quartz mine, reporting 1,729.79 m of drilling in eight NQ‑sized holes and several notable assay intercepts.
  • PhotonAssay technology reanalysis increased reported gold grades by 5.9 % versus fire‑assay, confirming higher‑grade mineralization at hole QGQ24‑20.
  • New discoveries include the Km Uno zone with surface samples of up to 1.1 g/t Au and 8.0 g/t Ag, supporting the company’s plan to substantially scale drilling and trenching in 2026.

Key Details

  • Drilling Overview (2025):
  • Total depth drilled: 1,729.79 m (5,675 ft) across eight NQ‑sized surface diamond holes.
  • Completed the remaining 90.18 m of hole QGQ24‑21 in April 2025.

  • Hole QGQ25‑28 was 354.19 m complete at year‑end and will be finished in early 2026.

  • Key Intercepts & Assay Results:

  • QGQ24‑20 (re‑assayed with PhotonAssay): 0.56 g/t Au over 475.4 m, including 236.88 m @ 1.06 g/t Au – a 5.9 % grade increase versus fire assay.
  • QGQ25‑23: 0.56 g/t Au over 99.84 m starting at 182.20 m, terminating in Halo zone mineralization.

  • Km Uno Zone (surface samples):

    • Sample A: 1.1 g/t Au, 8.0 g/t Ag.
    • Sample B: 0.57 g/t Au, 3.3 g/t Ag.

  • Technical Enhancements:

  • Implemented PhotonAssay technology as part of regular assay protocol (first noted April 29, 2025).

  • Engaged MSALabs (Prince George, B.C.) to conduct PhotonAssay for gold and silver, reducing turnaround time.

  • Current Sample Status (as of release):

  • Hole QGQ25‑25 – samples in analysis at MSALabs.
  • Holes QGQ25‑26 & QGQ25‑27 – split on‑site; pending shipment to lab.

  • Hole QGQ25‑28 – being logged; drilling to resume January 2026.

  • Future Exploration Plans (2026):

  • Intends to significantly scale up drilling and trenching across the 94,899‑ha land package.

  • Targeting northern extension of the Halo zone and downdip mineralization beneath identified MMI gold‑in‑soil anomalies.

  • Technical Review:

  • Information reviewed and approved by Jean Pautler, PGeo, independent consultant qualified under NI 43‑101.
