Goliath Drills 10.91 g/t AuEq Over 10.00 Meters Including 15.51 g/t AuEq Over 7.00 Meters And Discovers Two New Stacked Gold Veins That Remain Open At Surebet High-Grade Gold Discovery, Golden Triangle B.C., Assays Pending On 77 Holes

Drilling Highlights:

• Multiple intercepts of stacked layers containing high-grade gold mineralization assaying up to 10.91 g/t AuEq (10.53 g/t Au and 22.83 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters, including 15.51 g/t AuEq (14.99 g/t Au and 31.10 g/t Ag) over 7.00 meters have been confirmed in the Surebet Zone, Bonanza Zone as well as in two new stacked gold-mineralized veins, further demonstrating the consistent high grades and widths of the gold-mineralized layers vertically stacked over 1.2 km and over an area measuring 1.8 km² at the Surebet Discovery that remains wide open.
• Strong mineralization confirmed in 100% of 243 widespread drill holes containing 300 intercepts to date within 1.8 km² area where 8 stacked gold veins as well as 7 new stacked gold veins have been identified and confirmed by assays to date. Confirmation of multiple stacked gold veins and widespread gold rich reduced intrusion feeder dykes within the 1.8 km² area up to >1.2 km deep that remain open both laterally and to depth, confirms the continuity of the widths and grades at Surebet demonstrating this world-class gold system has tremendous additional untapped expansion potential remaining.

• With only 15 months of boots on the ground, the strong mineralization consistently observed in 100% of all 243 drill holes collared within a 1.8 km² area to date clearly demonstrates the continuity and predictability of this extensive mineralizing system that remains open in all directions providing for excellent additional discovery and expansion potential.

• Confirmation of high gold grades in the recently discovered Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) system characterized by considerable amounts of visible gold, bismuth, and molybdenum mineralization in the felsic to intermediate porphyritic dykes on Surebet as well as in the intrusions surrounding Surebet could greatly increase the size potential of the Surebet Discovery.

• 100% of 243 widespread holes drilled on Surebet intersected the targeted mineralized zones in 300 intercepts, 106 of which intersected visible gold including the 64 holes drilled in 2024 which intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing visible gold, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity and predictability of this extensive high-grade world- class gold discovery.

• Metallurgical testing has shown exceptional gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation requiring only a 327 micrometer crush, with 48.8% occurring as free gold; cyanide required to recover the gold.
• Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the 1.2 km stacked layers of high-grade gold mineralization that remains open in all directions, including to depth and vectoring in on the reduced intrusion indicated at depth believed to be the source for the extensive high-grade gold mineralization on the Surebet Discovery currently covering an area of at least 1.8 km².
• Assays compilation, interpretation and modeling are underway for an additional 77 holes and will be announced shortly: 39 drilled in 2024 (33 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 12 drilled into the Reduced Intrusive Dykes 2021-2023 (5 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 14 relogged shoulders 2021 - 2023 (3 have visible and/or abundant visible gold) and 12 from VMS style mineralization at Treasure Island 40 km to the north of the Surebet Discovery.

TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the "Company” or "Goliath”) is pleased to report exceptional high-grade gold intercepts of up to 10.91 g/t AuEq (10.53 g/t Au and 22.83 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters, including 15.51 g/t AuEq (14.99 g/t Au and 31.10 g/t Ag) over 7.00 meters from multiple mineralized veins that remain open at Surebet on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the "Property”), Golden Triangle, B.C. Assays compiled and modelled for 6 new drill holes from the successful 2024 drill program intersected excellent gold grades. Clearly demonstrating minable widths and grades. With exceptional continuity and predictability of this large expanding world-class gold discovery that remains wide open both laterally and to depth with tremendous untapped discovery potential remaining. Assays compilation, interpretation and modeling are underway for an additional 77 holes that will be announced shortly.

Roger Rosmus, Founder and CEO of Goliath Resources, states: "Words of wisdom from a brilliant geologist is that all exploration targets start out with big geophysical anomalies or geochemical anomalies that get smaller the more you drill them, whereas mines are different, in that they get better the more you drill them and have pleasant surprises along the way. Evidence that Surebet is progressing in the latter scenario can be seen in the drilling from the 2023 and 2024 drilling seasons. In 2023, we saw visible gold in 32% of the drill holes, while in 2024 that dramatically increased to 92% of the drill holes and had abundant visible gold and coarse-grained visible gold. Clearly demonstrating that the discovery is getting more robust as we follow the gold mineralization down the mountain, and equally as impressive is that our Bonanza High-Grade Gold Zone is only 200 metres above the valley floor where it comes right to the surface. One of the pleasant surprises this year was that while drilling for expansion of known stacked veins, we found new veins in the same drill hole which greatly reduces the cost of discovery. What is astonishing to our geological team is that considering the transition of the visible gold in the system there is a very good chance that we are still at the top of the system and are still moving toward the source of the gold mineralizing system. I like to look at the value of gold per gram and then consider the mineable intersections and it is clear that the Surebet discovery is without a doubt a world-class discovery, in one of the world's premier jurisdictions (the Golden Triangle of British Columbia which is a prolific high-grade mining camp) and that we have the most important high-grade gold discoveries in the Golden Triangle in many years. We look forward to announcing the remaining 77 drill holes from the 2024 season from our Golddigger property.”

Assays compilation, interpretation and modeling are underway for an additional 77 holes and will be announced shortly: 39 drilled in 2024 (33 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 12 drilled into the Reduced Intrusive Dykes 2021-2023 (5 have visible, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold), 14 relogged shoulders 2021 - 2023 (3 have visible and/or abundant visible gold) and 12 from VMS style mineralization at Treasure Island 40 km to the north of the Surebet Discovery.

High-grade mineralization has been confirmed in 243 drill holes containing 300 intercepts in 8 known stacked mineralized gold veins as well as the reduced intrusion feeder dykes within the 1.8 km² area and over 1.2 km deep that remains open laterally and to depth, clearly showing the exceptional continuity of widths and grades at Surebet. Confirmation of high gold grades in the recently discovered Reduced Intrusion Related Gold (RIRG) system characterized by considerable amounts of visible gold, bismuth, and molybdenum mineralization in the felsic to intermediate porphyritic dykes on Surebet as well as in the intrusions surrounding Surebet could greatly increase the size potential of the Surebet Discovery.

Drilling in 2025 will focus on expanding the mineralization in all directions, including to depth vectoring in on the reduced intrusion indicated source for the extensive high-grade gold mineralization on the world-class Surebet discovery.

All 64 holes drilled in 2024 have intercepted significant mineralization with 92% of the holes (or 59 out of 64 holes) containing visible gold, abundant visible gold and/or coarse-grained visible gold, demonstrating the excellent continuity of this extensive high-grade gold system that remains wide open in all directions.
