Goliath Resources Limited has confirmed newly defined volcanic wedge zones at the Golddigger Property in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, connecting the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones with broad intervals of gold-bearing quartz-sulphide mineralization.

The volcanic wedge zones feature intervals extending 10 to 50 metres in drill core, with grades up to 3.60 g/t AuEq and widths up to 58 metres. Together, these wedge intervals define a mineralized area up to 310 metres in length and 110 metres vertically, consisting of stacked mineralized veinlets. Two mineralized volcanic wedges have been identified, including one in the south-central part of the system and a second within a recently announced 540-metre step-out to the southwest.

Structural observations indicate that local stress perturbations from the interaction between the Bonanza and Golden Gate shear zones produced secondary fracturing, increasing permeability and providing fluid pathways. This lower-grade envelope connects the higher-grade Bonanza and Golden Gate zones into a broader mineralized rock volume, opening potential for bulk-tonnage extraction. Assays remain pending on additional wedge zone holes from the 2026 drill program.

Cumulative drilling across the Surebet Discovery now totals more than 180,000 metres. The fully funded 2026 drill program comprises approximately 50,000 metres of systematic drilling using seven rigs. The 100%-owned Golddigger Property covers 91,518 hectares in the Golden Triangle following an expansion from 66,608 hectares.

“Every drilling season at the Surebet discovery has brought pleasant surprises and we are seeing that again in 2026. For the past few drilling seasons, we have maintained that Surebet is the most important high-grade gold discovery in the Golden Triangle in many years, and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger every drill season as well as pleasant surprises along the way.”
