Goliath Reports Up To 8.09 G/T AuEq Over 16.00 Meters, Assays Confirm Gold Mineralization In Expanded Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones On High-Grade Gold Surebet Discovery, Golden Triangle, B.C.
McEwen expands zones with modest gram-metres but lacks QA/QC disclosure.
Goliath Resources has released initial 2026 drill assays from the Surebet Discovery on its Golddigger Property in British Columbia. The company reported visible gold in 20 of 35 holes, with the current program fully funded for 50,000 meters of drilling.
Key intercepts include: - GD-26-418: 8.09 g/t AuEq over 16.00 m, including 18.39 g/t AuEq over 6.75 m, including 39.99 g/t AuEq over 1.00 m, and 74.67 g/t AuEq over 1.10 m (Surebet Zone). Also 4.42 g/t AuEq over 5.00 m (Bonanza Zone). - GD-26-417: New zone 58.00 m of 0.52 g/t Au, including 1.00 g/t Au over 9.00 m. Also Golden Gate Zone 2.13 g/t Au over 5.00 m, including 8.96 g/t Au over 1.00 m. - GD-26-425: 1.11 g/t Au over 17.20 m, including 3.96 g/t Au over 3.20 m (Bonanza Zone).
Goliath Resources, a pre-resource explorer, released new high-grade drill intercepts that have generated market interest. However, these results are not materially distinct from the company’s historic intercepts, such as the 34.52 g/t over 39 m interval already known. The market is already aware that the Surebet system hosts bonanza grades, and these modest expansions do not indicate a change in the deposit’s scale.
The company is fully funded for 50,000 m of drilling, making the release a routine progress update rather than a transformational event. No resource estimate or economic study can be inferred from these results. As a junior explorer, Goliath’s value rests on the potential to define multi-million-ounce high-grade resources. While these intercepts support continuity, they do not significantly de-risk or expand that vision.
Goliath Resources is a Canadian junior explorer focused on the 100%-owned Golddigger Property in the Golden Triangle, B.C., hosting the Surebet high-grade gold discovery. The project features over 156,000 m of drilling across a 1.8 km² footprint with multiple stacked lodes. It has achieved a 100% mineralization hit rate, with 92% of holes containing visible gold. Metallurgical recoveries of 92.2% Au by gravity/flotation are reported.
The company has expanded its land package to 91,518 ha. It is well-funded for a 50,000 m 2026 program, with financing coming from bought-deal placements and cornerstone investors including McEwen Inc. and Crescat Capital. No resource estimate has been published to date.
