Isometric View of the Surebet Discovery Ore Mineralization Model

  • Assay results confirm grade continuity across all major mineralized zones at the Surebet High-Grade Gold Discovery that demonstrates predictability of the mineralization model as the system was expanded by more than 1 km along the NE–SW trend and by 100 meters to the north as well as west resulting in a total footprint of the Surebet System increasing to 2.01 Km2. Assays are still pending for 55 holes drilled in 2026.
  • Surebet Zone – Drill hole GD-26-483 intersected 9.89 g/t AuEq over 12.00 meters, including 28.81 g/t AuEq over 4 meters consisting of pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite rich quartz breccia associated with abundant Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE), confirming continuity and high-grade nature of the Surebet Zone; see Figures 1., 2. and Table 1.
  • Multiple drill holes confirm the strong continuity and high-grade nature of all 6 mineralized zones within the Surebet System. Highlights include:
    • Surebet Zone – Drill hole GD-26-474 intersected 9.74 g/t AuEq (9.47 g/t Au and 50.18 g/t Ag) over 6.23 meters, including 13.88 g/t AuEq (13.51 g/t Au and 70.71 g/t Ag) over 4.26 meters from an interval of quartz-sulphide veining and breccia; see Figure 1 and Table 1.
    • Eldorado Zone – Drill hole GD-26-431 intersected 4.21 g/t AuEq (4.53 g/t Au and 1.48 g/t Ag) over 7.90 meters, including 5.41 g/t AuEq (5.83 g/t Au and 1.43 g/t Ag) over 5.95 meters from an interval of quartz-sulphide veining and widespread biotite alteration part of the that remains open; see Table 1.
    • Multiple Zones – Drill hole GD-26-467 intersected 2.65 g/t AuEq (2.75 g/t Au and 4.90 g/t Ag) over 11.72 meters, including 6.38 g/t AuEq (6.69 g/t Au and 8.40 g/t Ag) over 4.64 meters from an interval spanning sheared quartz breccia part of the Bonanza Zone, distributed veinlets of the Big Bulk Zone, and quartz-sulphide veining part of the Golden Gate Zone that remain open; see Table 1.
  • With 48,443 meters drilled in 97 holes utilizing 7 drill rigs turning 24 hours a day for 94 days, the 2026 drill program on the Surebet Discovery has exceeded expectations with multiple successful large step-out drill holes, maintaining 100% hit rate intersecting quartz-sulphide mineralization, and with abundant occurrences of VG-NE; see Figures 4a – g.
  • Over 200,000 meters have been drilled to date at the high-grade Surebet Gold Discovery, where 412 holes out of 483 (85%) contain VG-NE that clearly demonstrates the continuity and predictability of this expansive gold-rich system that remains open; see Figure 5.
  • The total footprint of the Surebet system has been expanded to 2.01 km2, which represents a 12% increase compared to 1.8 km2 defined prior to the 2026 drilling season; see news August 24, 2026.
    • Bonanza Zone – drilling in 2026 successfully expanded the From 1.27 km2 to 1.51 km2. It intersected mineralization in multiple step-out drill holes, resulting in the expansion of the Bonanza Zone by 750 meters to the southwest, 100 meters to the west, 100 meters to the north and 160 meters to the northeast side of the Surebet system and still remains open for expansion; see Figure 6.
    • Golden Gate Zone – drilling in 2026 successfully expanded the from 0.85 km2 To 1.17 km2. It intersected mineralization in multiple step-out drill holes, resulting in the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone by 480 meters to the northeastern side and 540 meters to the southwestern side of the Surebet system; see Figure 7.
  • Big Bulk Zones – Goliath’s 2026 drilling successfully identified the newly defined and extensive mineralized areas containing VG-NE that span the volume between the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones near the location where the structures join, extending up to 310 meters in length, 500 meters laterally, and 110 meters vertically. This new zone consists of numerous mineralized stacked veinlets forming broad intervals up to 58 meters wide and hosted in the volcanics with grades up to 3.60 AuEq, potentially amenable to low-cost bulk mining methods; see Figures 3, 8 and 9.
  • High-grade gold has been identified in 7 zones and in three distinct rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All of which contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain wide open for expansion. This supports the presence of a Motherlode magmatic source at depth (a thesis developed from the work at the Colorado School of Mines), a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 2.01 km2 high-grade gold system at the Surebet Discovery.
  • 2027 planned expansion and infill drilling areas; see Figure 10.
  • The Surebet Discovery has widespread drill holes representing more than 1,500 pierce points (2021-2025) with a vast majority having tight spacings of 25 – 50 meters.
  • The Surebet Discovery is a grassroots project that has evolved from the idea of exploring prospective untouched ground in an area recently exposed by glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement, to a mineralizing system consisting of 46 stacked gold-rich veins defined through over 200,000 meters of drilling, in a total of 21 months of work on the ground.

TORONTO, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report several assays from its 2026 drill program where drill hole GD-26-483 intersected 9.89 g/t AuEq over 12.00 meters at the Surebet Discovery on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Recent assay results confirm grade continuity across all major mineralized zones at the Surebet Gold Discovery and demonstrate the predictability of the mineralization model as the system was expanded by more than 1 km along the NE–SW trend by 100 meters to the north and west resulting in a total footprint of the Surebet System of 2.01 Km2. 100% of the drill holes completed to date on Surebet have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization, where 412 drill holes out of 483 (or 85%) contain VG-NE, clearly demonstrating continuity and predictability of the Surebet System as well as the untapped discovery potential remaining on the property. Assays are still pending for 55 holes drilled in 2026.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Every season at Surebet delivers positive surprises. What began as a 2 kilometer surface outcrop has expanded into a remarkably continuous, high-grade gold system across stacked veins and multiple rock units within the last few years, featuring visible gold in 85% of our 483 drill holes. Our 2026 drill program, with up to 750 meters of expansion through step out holes, demonstrates rare structural predictability, proving the mineralization remains coherent throughout. Our team sees host rocks extending over a large area, suggesting we are nowhere close to the extent of the system. Additionally, newly identified broad, lower-grade zones between our high-grade Bonanza and Golden Gate zones called Big Bulk zones open compelling potential for underground bulk mining. The Surebet Discovery continues to show strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years. We look forward to releasing additional assays from 55 holes that are still pending from our 2026 drill program.”

The 2026 drill program continues to deliver remarkable results highlighted by drill hole GD-26-483, which intersected 9.89 g/t AuEq over 12.00 meters, including 33.17 g/t Au over 2.85 meters within a pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite rich quartz breccia associated with abundant VG-NE part the Surebet Zone. Additionally, complete multi-element assays reported for numerous drill holes confirm strong continuity across all seven mineralized zones within the system.

Highlights include: drill hole GD-26-440, which intersected the Big Bulk Zone with 24.97 meters of 0.70 g/t AuEq; drill hole GD-26-474 in the Surebet Zone intersected 9.74 g/t AuEq over 6.23 meters, including 13.88 g/t AuEq over 4.26; drill hole GD-26-431 in the Eldorado Zone intersected 4.21 g/t AuEq over 7.90 meters, including 5.41 g/t AuEq over 5.95 meters; and drill hole GD-26-467 spanning the Bonanza, Big Bulk, and Golden Gate Zones, which intersected 2.65 g/t AuEq over 11.72 meters, including 6.38 g/t AuEq over 4.64 meters and 28.21 g/t AuEq over 1.02 meters. All 2026 drill holes to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization.

The 2026 drill program achieved unprecedented scale and success, completing 48,443 meters across 97 holes using 7 drill rigs operating 24 hours a day for 94 days. The program maintained a 100% hit rate intersecting quartz-sulphide mineralization and abundant occurrences of VG-NE. To date, over 200,000 meters have been drilled at Surebet across 483 holes, of which 85% contain VG-NE. As a result of multiple successful step-out drill holes, the total footprint of the Surebet system has been expanded to 2.01 Km2, representing a 12% increase from the 1.8 Km2 defined prior to the season. Specifically, the Bonanza Zone expanded from 1.27 to 1.51 Km2 growing 750 meters to the southwest, 100 meters west, 100 meters north, and 160 meters northeast, while the Golden Gate Zone expanded from 0.85 to 1.17 Km2, growing 480 meters to the northeast and 540 meters to the southwest.

Furthermore, the 2026 campaign successfully identified the Big Bulk Zone, a newly discovered mineralized area containing visible gold spanning the region between the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones where the structures converge. The central part of the Big Bulk Zone extends for 310 meters in length, 500 meters laterally, and 110 meters vertically. Individual mineralized intervals in this zone consist of numerous stacked mineralized veinlets spanning up to 58 meters hosted within volcanics with grades up to 3.60 g/t AuEq, presenting strong potential to be amenable to low-cost bulk mining methods.

High-grade gold has been identified in 7 zones and in three distinct rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE and remain open for expansion. These findings suggest the presence of a large-scale, multi-phased high-grade gold mineralizing event driven by a Motherlode causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 2.01 km2 high-grade gold system at Surebet Discovery that remains open.

In just 21 months of on-the-ground work, the Surebet Discovery has advanced from a grassroots showing on virgin ground exposed by glacial retreat and permanent snowpack abatement, to an extensive high-grade gold mineralizing system with significant potential. The project now consists of 46 identified stacked gold-rich veins defined by over 200,000 meters of total drilling. The system's scale continues to get larger with every drill program, with over 1,500 pierce points with a vast majority 25 – 50 meter spacing (2021 – 2025) distributed across an area of 2.01 km².

The Company is actively updating its high-grade gold wireframe models as assay results are received. Once all data from the 2026 program has been received, compiled, and modelled, a comprehensive drill plan for the 2027 season will be designed.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season have intersected gold mineralization, clearly demonstrating remarkable grade continuity and widths, with over 1,500 diamond drill hole intercepts (pierce points 2021 – 2025); ~77% have 25 – 50 meter spacings. Demonstrating the geological team has a great understanding of the system and its predictability.
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >200,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 2.01 km2 Surebet Discovery has strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • The most recent ore mineralization model incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill program identified gold-mineralized vein systems/zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes/veins and multiple subvertical Eocene-aged dyke swarms (see isometric view in Figure 11 below). A good analogy to the Surebet Discovery is the Pogo Mine in Alaska.

  • 85% of the holes (412 out of 483) drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery contain VG-NE and 100% have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization. See news releases dated: July 7, 2025, June 23, 2025, January 7, 2025, January 13, 2025, February 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, February 27, 2025, December 12, 2024, July 30, 2024, January 20, 2026, December 2, 2025, November 17, 2025, October 27, 2025, September 22, 2025, September 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, July 28, 2025, July 15, 2026, August 6, 2026, August 10, 2026, August 11, 2026, August 21, 2026, August 24, 2026, August 31, 2026, September 10, 2026, September 16, 2026, September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026; see Figure 5 above.
  • High-grade gold has been identified in 7 zones and in three distinct rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in metal recoveries of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn achieved through a combination of simple gravity and flotation circuits. The gravity-only recoveries amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Big Bulk Zone, previously reported as the volcanic wedge zone, is GD-24-291 that assayed 1.97 g/t AuEq (1.92 Au and 1.85 Ag) over 33 meters (see news release dated August 31, 2026). This zone is composed of dense networks of thin mineralized veinlets interpreted to represent distributed fractures filled by mineralized fluids within structural interaction damage zones developed around the Bonanza–Golden Gate junctions. More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath now controls 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres), spanning 56 kilometers of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located adjacent to tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to existing infrastructure including the town of Kitsault proximal to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift and controls 56km of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a favourable location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog Geo™ and QGIS™ software and data from the 2017-2025 exploration programs. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Samples Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values incorporate metal recovery factors based on preliminary metallurgical testwork, which excluded copper. It was assumed that copper can be recovered with zinc at the same recovery rate. The recovery factors used in the AuEq calculations are: Gold 92.2%; Silver 86.5%; Copper 96.9%; Lead 94.2%; Zinc 96.9%. AuEq metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below:

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddiggers Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Canada News Group News Commentary – The global gold market was valued at US$291.68 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$400 billion by the end of 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 6.51% over 2025 to 2030, according to Virtue Market Research. How that growth gets financed is shifting, as producers and developers lean on streams, royalties, convertible bonds and gold-denominated loans alongside conventional equity and bank debt. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV: LVG) (OTCQB: LVGLF) (FSE: E1K), Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: WPM), OR Royalties Inc. (NYSE: OR), Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (NYSE: HMY), and Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (NYSE American: CMCL).

The supply side helps explain why capital keeps chasing new ounces. GlobalData forecasts global gold production growing at a compound annual rate of just 0.9% to reach 141.6 million ounces by 2030, a slow build against demand that continues to be led by the official sector. Central banks bought a net 288.9 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026, a 62% year-over-year increase and the strongest second quarter on record, and gold-backed ETFs took in $18 billion in August, the second-largest monthly inflow on record, according to the World Gold Council.

Prices have been less cooperative in the short run. Benchmark gold slipped about 3% to roughly US$4,149 an ounce on Monday and is down about 6.6% over the past month as Treasury yields rose and rate-hike expectations built, though it remains around 8% higher year over year, according to Trading Economics. For developers, that kind of volatility tends to show up in financing terms before it shows up in cash flow, which is one reason structures that share metal-price exposure with the capital provider have gained ground.

Tanzania offers a live example of a gold economy scaling quickly. Gold exports rose 37.4% to US$5.67 billion in the year to July 2026, making up 47.4% of goods export earnings, according to the Bank of Tanzania, and newer projects in the Lake Victoria Goldfield sit alongside established operations such as Barrick's Bulyanhulu Mine and AngloGold Ashanti's Geita Gold Mine.

It holds a 100% interest in the Tembo Project, adjacent to Barrick's Bulyanhulu Mine, and a 100% interest in the fully permitted Imwelo Gold Project, west of AngloGold Ashanti's Geita Gold Mine.

On August 11, the Company announced the maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for Tembo, with an effective date of May 29, 2026. The estimate covers three near-surface deposits, Ngula 1, Nyakagwe Village and Nyakagwe East, reported within conceptual open-pit shells at a 0.25 g/t cut-off using a gold price of US$2,400/oz. It was prepared by independent Qualified Persons Noleen D. Pauls and Dean Richards of Obsidian Consulting Services.

Grade strengthens materially as the reporting cut-off rises. At 1.00 g/t, the estimate retains 4.79 Mt at 2.15 g/t for 331,700 Inferred ounces and 1.07 Mt at 2.00 g/t for 68,600 Indicated ounces, and at 1.50 g/t it holds 2.27 Mt at 3.18 g/t for 232,100 Inferred ounces. These sensitivity figures are subsets of the stated resource, not separate estimates. Ngula 1 hosts approximately 56% of the Inferred ounces and 63% of the Indicated ounces and is the focus of a planned close-spaced drilling program of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 metres on a 20 m by 20 m pattern.

The resource covers only three target areas on a 34 km² property where a 2020 integrated study by GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. identified and ranked 39 exploration targets, across four granted mining licences. Barrick's December 2021 acquisition of six of the Company's non-core licences, for US$6 million in cash plus up to US$45 million in ounce-based contingent payments, leaves LVG with continued exposure to that ground, although those payments depend on exploration and development success by Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Limited, which is outside the Company's control.

On September 16, the Company initiated the Phase 1 land valuation and compensation programme at Ngula Village, the first land access programme undertaken at Tembo. The programme covers 111.32 acres, 88.51 acres within the mining licence area of LVG's wholly owned Tanzanian subsidiary and 22.81 acres associated with primary mining licences held by Nyati Resources, and completion is targeted for early October 2026. The programme also supports the proposed toll-milling arrangement under which Nyati's 500-tonne-per-day processing plant would process material from Tembo, including Ngula 1, subject to confirmatory drilling, permitting, financing and the execution of a definitive agreement.

Marc Cernovitch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lake Victoria Gold, commented: "We are taking the playbook that has worked at Imwelo and applying it at Tembo, starting at Ngula 1 because that is where our resource is concentrated and where our next phase of work is directed."

"There is no urgency forcing this. That is exactly the point. Doing land access properly, through the district authorities and the statutory valuation process, takes as long as it takes, and the way you avoid that becoming a problem is to start it early and run it transparently. We have the community and the district engaged from day one, and we intend to keep it that way."

Tembo runs as a second track alongside Imwelo, the Company's fully permitted near-term development priority, and the financing behind Imwelo reflects the broader shift in how developers are raising capital. LVG has announced a gold loan facility with Monetary Metals & Co. of up to 6,000 ounces of gold, approximately US$25 million, structured to be repaid in gold rather than cash, together with a convertible debenture financing that was later upsized to $5 million. On September 24, the Company also identified a preferred processing route for Imwelo's near-surface weathered material, with attrition scrubbing and desliming lifting 24-hour gold extraction on the pretreated fraction from 49.99% to 84.54% in agitated-leach testing.

There are several risks associated with the Company's plans. The Company has not completed a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study or feasibility study for Tembo, no Mineral Reserves have been estimated, and Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources carry a lower level of confidence, and it cannot be assumed that any part will be upgraded. The Nyati toll-milling arrangement is not yet a definitive agreement, land compensation timing depends on district authorities, and mineralization at Bulyanhulu is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at Tembo. At Imwelo, JORC-compliant studies are not current under NI 43-101 and any production decision would not be based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves. Financing remains subject to its terms and conditions. Readers should review the Company's filings under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Cautionary Note on Production Decision: Although Imwelo has been the subject of JORC-compliant PEA, PFS and updated PFS work, these foreign-code studies are not current under NI 43-101. The Company has not completed a feasibility study on Imwelo that establishes mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and is not treating the JORC-based estimates or analyses as current under CIM Definition Standards. Any decision to commence production is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves and therefore involves increased uncertainty and a higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no certainty that the planned low-capex open-pit operation will be economically viable or that production will occur as anticipated. Risks include, without limitation, variations in grade and recovery, unexpected geotechnical or metallurgical challenges, cost overruns, funding availability, and operational, regulatory, or permitting risks. The Company has not completed a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study or feasibility study for the Tembo Project, no Mineral Reserves have been estimated at Tembo, and any decision to commence production at Tembo, including through the proposed toll-milling arrangement with Nyati Resources (T) Limited, would not be based on a feasibility study of Mineral Reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and would therefore involve increased uncertainty and multiple technical and economic risks of failure. Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Resources: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated with a lower level of confidence than Indicated Mineral Resources, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded through continued exploration. Grade-tonnage figures at higher cut-offs are subsets of the stated Mineral Resource and do not represent separate Mineral Resource estimates.

  • Assay results for drill holes GD-26-414, GD-26-426, GD-26-439, GD-26-450, and GD-26-478 confirm mineable widths and grades of gold-mineralization over broad intervals confirming the continuity that has significantly expanded the high-grade core of the Surebet system that remains open for expansion both laterally and to depth.
  • Additionally, the recently discovered volcanic wedge zones have been renamed to Big Bulk Zones based on the broad extent of gold mineralization with confirmed intervals of 10 – 58 meters with grades ranging from 0.39 g/t AuEq up to 2.04 g/t AuEq. This demonstrates strong untapped potential of this extensive gold system for expansion, that could be amiable to low-cost bulk mining methods. The Big Bulk Zones are all located above the valley floor located between the higher grade Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones; they remain open for expansion both laterally as well as to depth.
  • Drill hole GD-26-478 intersected a mineralized interval that assayed 13.81 g/t Au over 4.85 meters, including 21.45 g/t Au over 3.09 meters (Au only assays, AuEq assays pending). This volcanic-hosted interval is part of the Golden Gate Zone in the Western part of the mineralized system and is characterized by multiple quartz-sulphide veins with numerous occurrences of Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE) associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite; see Figures 1a, 1b and 3.
  • Drill hole GD-26-414 intersected a mineralized interval that assayed 10.26 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, including 18.30 g/t AuEq over 2.80 meters (only Au assays previously reported, see news reported on August 10, 2026). This intercept is part of the recently discovered Golden Gate Zone vein that is part of the 480 meter Northeastern step-out expansion this year, where mineralization consists of a broad quartz-sulphide vein and associated veinlets in the surrounding host rock containing several occurrences of VG-NE associated with massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite; see Figures 2a, 2b and 3.
  • The expanded Golden Gate Zone has a strike of 1.6 km E-W and 1.5 km N-S defining an area of 1.17 Km2. Based on 2025 data, the Golden Gate Zone contains 18 lodes up to 14 meters with a combined thickness of up to 49 meters and with intercepts up to 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-260) and remains open for expansion; see Figure 3.
  • All drill holes from the 2026 drill program completed to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincide with high-grade gold mineralization. 92 out of 97 drill holes have been completed with a total of 45,616 meters drilled thus far in 2026.
  • Only 9 holes with complete gold equivalent (AuEq) assays have been reported to date from a total of 97 drill holes for this year’s program; many more assays to come.
  • The fully funded 2026 drill program comprises approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization laterally and at depth, focused on the Bonanza, Eldorado, Golden Gate, Surebet and Whopper Zones.
  • The total footprint of the Surebet system is 2.01 km2, which represents a 12% increase compared to 1.8 km2 defined prior to the 2026 drilling season. The Bonanza Zone has been expanded to 1.51 km2 from 1.27 Km2 (a 19% increase) and the Golden Gate Zone has been expanded to 1.17 Km2 from 0.85 Km2 (a 38% increase); see news August 24, 2026.

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results for drill holes GD-26-414, GD-26-426, GD-26-439, GD-26-450, and GD-26-478 from the Surebet Discovery on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. All reported holes contain substantial gold-mineralization characterized by the widespread presence of VG-NE that continues to demonstrate increased confidence in the continuity as well as the expansion potential of the Surebet System. All drill holes completed during the 2026 program have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization, with 92 out of 97 planned holes completed for a total of 45,616 meters drilled to date.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Assay results for these announced holes from the Surebet and Golden Gate Zones confirms additional gold-mineralization over broad intervals increasing confidence in the continuity and expansion potential of the high-grade part of the Surebet system that remains open. As well, the Bonanza Zone is located at the contact between sediments above and volcanics below, where the Golden Gate Zone comes together to form a broad mineralized zone where our newly discovered volcanic Big Bulk Zone is located, previously known as the wedge zone. I would also point out that all mineralized zones have multiple occurrences of visible gold in all the three distinct rock packages. Instead of getting near the edges of the system, it continues to expand. Drilling into the system at depth is still well above the valley floor, which is leading us to believe that the magmatic feeder zone, or zones, for the entire system is at or below the valley floor. As we do exploration drilling deeper and laterally, the Surebet system keeps getting larger. We look forward to announcing several gold equivalent assay results from a further 88 holes from the 2026 drill program”.

Drill hole GD-26-478 (Pad 20, Azimuth 75, Dip 72) intersected a mineralized interval that assayed 13.81 g/t Au over 4.85 meters, including 21.45 g/t Au over 3.45 meters (Au only assays, AuEq assays pending). This interval is hosted in the volcanic package and consists of multiple quartz-sulphide veins containing numerous VG-NE occurrences associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. This interval is part of the Golden Gate Zone and is located in the western side of the known mineralized system.

Drill hole GD-26-414 (Pad 1, Azimuth 115, Dip 81) intersected a newly discovered Golden Gate Zone vein that is part of the 480 meter Northeastern step-out expansion this year, that assayed 10.26 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, including 18.30 g/t AuEq over 2.80 meters (only Au assays previously reported, see news reported on August 10, 2026). Mineralization consists of a broad quartz-sulphide vein and associated veinlets in the surrounding host rock containing several occurrences of VG-NE associated with massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite.

Drill hole GD-26-426 (Pad 15, Azimuth 310, Dip 79) intersected a Surebet Zone interval that assayed 5.27 g/t AuEq over 9.85 meters, within an extensive zone of 23.50 m grading 2.55 g/t AuEq (only Au assays previously reported, see news reported on August 10, 2026). Mineralization includes breccia and stockwork veining containing VG-NE associated with massive to stringer galena, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite.

Drill hole GD-26-450 (Pad 11, Azimuth 310, Dip 64) intersected a Surebet Zone interval that assayed 4.42 g/t AuEq over 6.96 meters, including 5.32 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, within a wider interval of 3.06 g/t AuEq over 12.97 meters. Mineralization occurs in sediment-hosted quartz breccia and stockwork veins that contain VG-NE, galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite.

Drill hole GD-26-439 (Pad 6, Azimuth 38, Dip 58) intersected 4.97 g/t AuEq over 2.95 meters, including 14.49 g/t AuEq over 1.00 meters in the Surebet Zone.

All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill program have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincides with high-grade gold mineralization. 92 out of 97 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 45,616 meters drilled thus far in 2026.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season have intersected gold mineralization, clearly demonstrating remarkable grade continuity and widths, with over 1,500 diamond drill hole intercepts (pierce points); ~77% have 25 – 50 meter spacings. Demonstrating the geological team has a great understanding of the system and its predictability.
  • The most recent ore mineralization model incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill program identified five (5) stacked gold-mineralized vein systems/zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes/veins and multiple subvertical Eocene-aged dyke swarms. A good analogy for the stacked veins that are gently-dipping is the Pogo Mine in Alaska. (see Table 3 and Figure 7).

Table 3: Five main modelled gold rich zones and dykes, see isometric view in Figure 7 below.

Zone Number of lodes/veins Dimensions Key Intercept Status
Bonanza 5 1.8 km x 1.8 km x 19 m 8.35 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Surebet 9 1.2 km x 1.0 km x 19 m 21.08 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Golden Gate 18 1.6 km x 1.5 km x 14 m 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m Remains Open
Whopper 12 1.0 km x 1.0 km x 6 m 32.67 g/t AuEq over 4 m Remains Open
Eldorado 2 1.0 km x 900 m x 5 m 13.93 g/t AuEq over 5.75 m Remains Open
Gold-rich dykes   1.4 km x 890 m x 25 m 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m Remains Open
  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in metal recoveries of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn achieved through a combination of simple gravity and flotation circuits. The gravity-only recoveries amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 2.01 km2 Surebet Discovery continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Big Bulk Zone previously reported as the volcanic wedge zone is GD-24-291 that assayed 1.97.52 g/t AuEq (1.92 Au and 1.85 Ag) over 33 meters (see news release dated August 31, 2026). This zone is composed of dense networks of thin mineralized veinlets interpreted to represent distributed fractures filled by mineralized fluids within structural interaction damage zones developed around the Bonanza–Golden Gate junctions. More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located adjacent to tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to existing infrastructure including the town of Kitsault proximal to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2025 exploration programs. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Samples Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values are provided for comparative purposes only and do not include metal recovery factors given that known metallurgical recoveries are only based on preliminary test work and may not be representative of all mineralization styles or zones. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below:

  AuEq = ((Au ppm) * (Au $⁄ g)) + ((Ag ppm) * (Ag $⁄ g)) + ((Cu ppm) * (Cu $⁄ g)) + ((Zn ppm) * (Zn $⁄ g)) + ((Pb ppm) * (Pb $⁄ g))  
  (Au $⁄ g)  
     

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

  • Drill holes GD-26-425 and GD-26-462 mark the presence of the volcanic Wedge Zone in the western and north-eastern fringes of the mineralized system, respectively. These two newly discovered mineralized areas add to the two previously discovered Wedge Zone domains (see news August 31, 2026): the first located in the south-central part of the known mineralized system and the second in the recently announced 540 meter step-out to the Southwest of the Surebet system. There are approximately 900 meters of untested volcanics by the drill bit separating the domains discovered in the West and Southwest of the system that have the potential to host further mineralization part of the volcanic Wedge Zone (see Figure 1).
  • The volcanic Wedge Zone is characterized by broad intervals of gold within quartz-sulphide mineralization including VG-NE that typically extend for 10 – 50 meters in drill core, inclusive of close to surface grades of up to 1.97 g/t AuEq over 33 meters (see news August 31, 2026).
  • The Central volcanic Wedge Zone occupies a mineralized area extending up to 310 meters in length and 110 meters vertically, consisting of numerous stacked mineralized veinlets hosted in the volcanic package (see Figure 2 and news August 31, 2026).
  • The Wedge Zone intervals comprise dense networks of thin mineralized veinlets interpreted to represent distributed fractures filled by mineralized fluids within structural interaction damage zones developed around the Bonanza–Golden Gate junctions (see Figure 3).
  • Drill hole GD-26-462 intersected two mineralized intervals hosted in the volcanic package located in the confirmed 480 meters step-out expansion to the Northeast part of the Surebet system. The first is part of the volcanic Wedge Zone located between the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones that assayed 26.80 g/t Au over 2.30 meters within a broader interval of 14.28 g/t Au over 4.32 meters (Au only assays; AuEq assays pending). This first interval consists of frequent stockwork to sheeted mineralized veinlets associated with Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE). The second interval is part of the Golden Gate Zone and assayed 20.45 g/t Au over 1.65 meters within a wider interval of 9.31 g/t Au over 3.65 meters composed of a broad quartz vein including semi-massive sulphides and VG-NE (Au only; AuEq assays pending); see Figure 4.

                        *For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Drill hole GD-26-417 intersected the volcanic Wedge Zone that extends over 58.00 meters grading 0.55 g/t AuEq, including 9.00 meters of 1.06 g/t AuEq in the confirmed 540 meters step-out expansion to the Southwestern part of the Surebet system. This interval consists of frequent and tightly spaced quartz and calc-silicate veinlets where multiple VG-NE occurrences have been identified. A second interval below the Wedge Zone part of the Golden Gate Zone assayed 2.22 g/t AuEq over 5.00 meters, including 9.30 g/t AuEq over 1.00 meter. This interval is composed of quartz-sulphide veining hosting VG-NE; see Figure 5 (Only Au assays previously reported, see news August 6, 2026).

                        *For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Drill hole GD-26-425 intersected a volcanic Wedge interval that extends over 23.20 meters grading 1.02 g/t AuEq, including 4.16 g/t AuEq over 3.20 meters. Mineralization in this interval is hosted in sheeted quartz-sulphide and calc-silicate veins and veinlets associated with VG-NE; see Figure 6 (Only Au assays previously reported, see news August 6, 2026). A second Wedge Zone interval was intersected that extends over 10.55 meters grading 0.48 g/t AuEq, including 7.49 meters grading 0.56 g/t AuEq. Mineralization is distributed in sheeted to stockwork veinlets and widespread calc-silicate alteration stringers and patches.

*For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Local stresses associated with the interaction between two major structures (Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones) are interpreted to have caused secondary fracturing that increased permeability and provided additional pathways for gold-bearing mineralizing hydrothermal fluids.
  • The lower-grade volcanic Wedge Zone connects the higher-grade Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones into a broader mineralized rock volume, significantly increasing the volume of mineralized material amenable to underground bulk mining.
  • The total footprint of the Surebet system is 2.01 km2, which represents a 12% increase compared to 1.8 km2 defined prior to the 2026 drilling season. The Bonanza Zone has been expanded to 1.51 km2 from 1.27 Km2 (a 19% increase) and the Golden Gate Zone has been expanded to 1.17 Km2 from 0.85 Km2 (a 38% increase); see news August 24, 2026.
  • The fully funded 2026 drill program comprises approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization laterally and at depth, focused on the Bonanza, Eldorado, Golden Gate, Surebet and Whopper Zones.

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results for drill holes GD-26-417, GD-26-425, GD-26-440, GD-26-462, confirming the presence of the volcanic Wedge Zone in the western, northeastern and southern parts of the mineralized system. The volcanic Wedge Zone is located between the structural intersection of the Bonanza and Golden Gate Zones connecting them that could significantly expand the volume of known mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “We are pleased to see the expansion of the mineralized Wedge Zone to the west, southwest and northeast. This is another important piece of the bigger picture that is unfolding at the Surebet Discovery as we continue to test for the Motherlode Causative Intrusive source. Based on these positive results, there appears to be an opportunity to add significant volumes of mineralization to the Surebet system, inclusive of the 900 meters of volcanics untested with the drill bit that separate domains discovered this year in the West and Southwest; see Figure 1 above. With a targeted 50,000 meter drill program still underway, we are adding many more holes daily to the lab pipeline that should provide a steady flow of assay news into the new year”.

Drill hole GD-26-462 intersected 26.80 g/t AuEq over 2.30 meters within 14.28 g/t AuEq over 4.32 meters in the Wedge Zone located in the Surebet system expansion to the Northeast. This interval consists of frequent stockwork to sheeted mineralized veinlets associated with VG-NE. A second mineralized interval underlying the Wedge Zone was intersected in GD-26-462 that assayed 9.31 g/t Au over 3.65 meters, including 20.45 g/t Au over 1.65 meters composed of a broad quartz vein including semi-massive sulphides and VG-NE is part of the Golden Gate Zone.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season have intersected gold mineralization, clearly demonstrating remarkable grade continuity and widths, with over 1,500 diamond drill hole intercepts (pierce points); ~77% have 25 – 50 meter spacings.
  • The most recent ore mineralization model incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill program identified five (5) stacked gold-mineralized vein systems/zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes/veins and multiple subvertical Eocene-aged dyke swarms (see Table 3 and Figure 8).

Table 3: Five main modelled gold rich zones and dykes.

Zone Number of lodes/veins Dimensions Key Intercept Status
Bonanza 5 1.8 km x 1.8 km x 19 m 8.35 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Surebet 9 1.2 km x 1.0 km x 19 m 21.08 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Golden Gate 18 1.6 km x 1.5 km x 14 m 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m Remains Open
Whopper 12 1.0 km x 1.0 km x 6 m 32.67 g/t AuEq over 4 m Remains Open
Eldorado 2 1.0 km x 900 m x 5 m 13.93 g/t AuEq over 5.75 m Remains Open
Gold-rich dykes   1.4 km x 890 m x 25 m 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m Remains Open

  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinctive rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in metal recoveries of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn achieved through a combination of simple gravity and flotation circuits. The gravity-only recoveries amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 2.01 km2 Surebet Discovery continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located adjacent to tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to existing infrastructure including the town of Kitsault proximal to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM data management software. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Sample Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values are provided for comparative purposes only and do not include metal recovery factors given that known metallurgical recoveries are only based on preliminary test work and may not be representative of all mineralization styles or zones. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

  • Drill hole GD-26-436 from the Surebet Zone, intersected an extensive mineralized interval near the surface that assayed 7.38 g/t AuEq over 35.7 meters, including 19.51 g/t AuEq over 8.32 meters. This entire interval is characterized by veining, alteration, and anomalous gold grades throughout its length with multiple high-grade subintervals. It also contains several occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE), native silver associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia hosted in sandstones; see Figure 1.

                                                         *For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • GD-26-436 confirms the continuity and consistency of Surebet mineralization, supported by numerous high-grade drill intercepts previously announced (sample below, with updated commodity prices), that all sit within a ~120 meter x ~50 meter area of the Surebet Zone; see Figure 2.
  • Drill hole GD-26-426 intersected two neighbouring mineralized splays of the Surebet Zone. The first assayed 5.18 g/t Au over 4.50 meters, within a wider interval of 2.81 g/t Au over 9.00 meters. The second assayed 7.85 g/t Au over 3.00 meters within a wider interval of 4.22 g/t Au over 5.80 meters. Mineralization consists of breccia and stockwork with VG-NE associated with massive to stringer galena, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite; see Figure 3 (Au only; AuEq assays pending).

            *For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Drill hole GD-26-431 intersected the sediment-hosted Eldorado Zone that returned assays of 5.83 g/t Au over 5.95 meters, including 11.42 g/t Au over 2.90 meters, within a wider interval of 3.07 g/t Au over 11.90 meters. Mineralization is present in the form of disseminated and stringer pyrrhotite and pyrite hosted in stockwork veins and veinlets associated with sericite and biotite alteration; see Figure 4 (Au only; AuEq assays pending).

*For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Drill hole GD-26-414 intersected the Surebet Zone that returned assays of 1.92 g/t AuEq over 16.45 meters, including 3.92 g/t AuEq over 4.00 meters and 2.01 g/t AuEq over 7.45 meters, including 3.56 g/t AuEq over 3.80 meters, including 4.84 g/t AuEq over 2.67 meters; see Figure 5 (Au assays reported in August 10, 2026 news).

*For reported assay intervals and AuEq calculation please see QA/QC Section

  • Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 33 out of 52 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm consistency of gold mineralization within the Surebet vein system that remains open laterally and at depth; see Figures 6a, 6b and 6c.
  • All drill holes from the 2026 drill program completed to date have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincide with high-grade gold mineralization. 52 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 31,994 meters drilled in 2026.
  • The fully funded 2026 drill program comprises approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling, including 7 drill rigs targeting expansion of the known gold mineralization laterally and at depth. 
  • Expansion drilling will continue to focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza, Golden Gate, and Surebet Zones.
  • Directional drilling consisting of multiple holes stemming from a single ‘mother’ hole is being used on selected drill pads in order to minimize drill time and costs while increasing target accuracy. Which is proving to be an effective way to drill the stacked lodes-veins, due to their close proximity can be hit several times from the ‘mother’ hole.

TORONTO, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results for drill holes GD-26-414, GD-26-426, GD-26-431, and GD-26-436 from the Surebet Zone on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Here we go again, Surebet just keeps passing the test we set out with in the 2026 drilling season. We wanted to step out aggressively to see if Surebet can keep delivering high-grade gold with large step outs. Instead of cutting anything off, the overall system just keeps getting bigger and bigger as we test it with aggressive step out holes. Of particular note, in this news release we are delighted to report some significant widths and grades from multiple holes. I have never seen a high-grade gold system that keeps delivering such remarkable high-grade gold with such a large footprint. Our team is firing on all cylinders, Surebet is passing every test and we are eager to see additional drilling results that keep showing Surebet is one of the most important high-grade gold discovery in the Golden Triangle in many years.”

Drill hole GD-26-436 from the Surebet Zone, intersected an extensive mineralized interval near surface that assayed 7.38 g/t AuEq over 35.7 meters, including 19.51 g/t AuEq over 8.32 meters. This entire interval is characterized by veining, alteration, and anomalous gold grades throughout its length with multiple high-grade subintervals. It also has several occurrences of visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE), native silver associated with galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in quartz-sulphide stockwork and breccia hosted in sandstones.

Drill hole GD-26-426 intersected two neighbouring mineralized splays of the Surebet Zone. The first assayed 5.18 g/t Au over 4.50 meters, within a wider interval of 2.81 g/t Au over 9.00 meters. The second assayed 7.85 g/t Au over 3.00 meters within a wider interval of 4.22 g/t Au over 5.80 meters. Mineralization consists of breccia and stockwork with VG-NE associated with massive to stringer galena, sphalerite, and pyrrhotite (Au only; AuEq assays pending).

Drill hole GD-26-431 intersected the Eldorado Zone, which assayed 5.83 g/t Au over 5.95 meters, including 11.42 g/t Au over 2.90 meters, within a wider interval of 3.07 g/t Au over 11.90 meters. Mineralization occurs as disseminated and stringer pyrrhotite and pyrite in stockwork veins and veinlets hosted in sandstone and associated with sericite and biotite alteration.

Additional mineralized intercepts reported in this news release include drill hole GD-26-421 (Pad 4, Azimuth 60, Dip 72), which intersected 2.02 g/t AuEq over 3.98 meters, including 7.68 g/t AuEq over 0.98 meters, and the integration of the previously reported gold only grades with multielement assay results for drill hole GD-26-424 (Pad 1, Azimuth 115, Dip 81), which intersected 10.90 g/t AuEq over 6.00 meters, including 16.48 g/t AuEq over 3.96 meters, including 35.65 g/t AuEq over 1.82 meters.

All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill program have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which typically coincides with high-grade gold mineralization. 52 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 31,994 meters drilled thus far in 2026.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season have intersected gold mineralization, clearly demonstrating remarkable grade continuity and widths, with over 1,500 drill hole pierce points; ~77% of these pierce points have 25 – 50 meter spacings.
  • The most recent ore mineralization model (see Figure 7) incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill program identified five (5) stacked gold-mineralized vein systems/zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes/veins and multiple subvertical Eocene-aged dyke swarms.

Table 3: Five main modelled gold rich zones and dykes, see isometric view in Figure 7 below.

Zone Number oflodes/veins Dimensions Key Intercept Status
Bonanza 5 1.8 km x 1.8 km x 19 m 8.35 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Surebet 9 1.2 km x 1.0 km x 19 m 21.08 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Golden Gate 18 1.6 km x 1.5 km x 14 m 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m Remains Open
Whopper 12 1.0 km x 1.0 km x 6 m 32.67 g/t AuEq over 4 m Remains Open
Eldorado 2 1.0 km x 900 m x 5 m 13.93 g/t AuEq over 5.75 m Remains Open
Gold-rich dykes   1.4 km x 890 m x 25 m 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m Remains Open
         
  • 355 out of 386 drill holes representing 92% of holes drilled between 2021 – 2025 at Surebet contain VG-NE (see Figure 8):
  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinctive rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in metal recoveries of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn achieved through a combination of simple gravity and flotation circuits. The gravity-only recoveries amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 1.8 km2 Surebet Discovery continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • 92% of the holes (355 out of 386) drilled prior to the 2026 drill season at Surebet contain VG-NE (see Figure 5a and 5b) and 100% of holes drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization. See news releases dated: July 7, 2025, June 23, 2025, January 7, 2025, January 13, 2025, February 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, February 27, 2025, December 12, 2024, July 30, 2024, January 20, 2026, December 2, 2025, November 17, 2025, October 27, 2025, September 22, 2025, September 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, and July 28, 2025.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located adjacent to tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to existing infrastructure including the town of Kitsault proximal to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2025 exploration programs. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Samples Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values are provided for comparative purposes only and do not include metal recovery factors given that known metallurgical recoveries are only based on preliminary test work and may not be representative of all mineralization styles or zones. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below:

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report additional assay results that confirm the continuity and expansion of the gold-mineralization within the Golden Gate Zone within the newly discovered 320 meter extension to the Northeast on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “We started our drilling season with a goal focused on expansion. Our team is delivering in an impressive way. It is unusual for a high-grade gold system to have such a large footprint of 1.8 kilometers by 1.8 kilometers with over 700 meters of vertical relief from the top of the mountain down to just above the valley floor. The high-grade gold and visible gold is within a series of lodes/veins, stacked like a layer cake making up the large footprint that spans top to bottom over 1.2 kilometers. Usually in a high-grade gold system, step out drilling is done on very tight spacing, whereas our Surebet Discovery step outs in 2026 are 100 plus meters including some out as much as 750 meters. Many of our team members have extensive experience in high-grade gold systems and are somewhat astonished with the growth of the system. In addition, the continuity and predictability is rare in a high-grade gold system loaded with visible gold. We started our drilling exploration at the top of the Surebet mountain and have followed it down the mountain and still haven’t found the systems limits. With the confirmation of the Golden Gate and Bonanza Zone extensions, we will continue to move rigs to the Southwest, Northeast and Easterly directions. Now we are getting near the valley floor where key structures come together. We are delighted about the 2026 drilling season thus far and have more drilling ahead this season resulting in a steady flow of assay results, stay tuned.”

Drill hole GD-26-424 intersected the Golden Gate Zone in an interval that assayed 10.32 g/t Au over 6.00 meters, including 15.61 Au over 3.96 meters, including 33.80 g/t Au over 1.82 meters (gold only). It contained a series of quartz-sulphide veins containing multiple occurrences of Visible Gold to The Naked Eye (VG-NE) hosted in volcanic rocks. The veins contain disseminated sulphides consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, and trace chalcopyrite.

Drill hole GD-25-412 intersected multiple mineralized intervals belonging to the Surebet and Golden Gate Zones. The Surebet Zone interval assayed 4.41 g/t AuEq (3.33 g/t Au and 61.14 g/t Ag) over 7.79 meters, including 8.47 g/t AuEq (6.58 g/t Au and 106.53 g/t Ag) over 3.81 meters, including 16.65 g/t AuEq (13.52 g/t Au and 179.41 g/t Ag) over 1.79 meters, within a broader interval of mineralization. This interval contains multiple occurrences of VG-NE within quartz veins and breccias associated with disseminated galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite. The Golden Gate interval assayed 4.17 g/t AuEq (3.87 g/t Au and 7.96 g/t Ag) over 3.75 meters, including 7.52 g/t AuEq (7.07 g/t Au and 11.37 g/t Ag) over 1.94 meters within a broader interval of mineralization. This interval is characterized by several occurrences of VG-NE associated with quartz-sulphide veins containing pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and galena

All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization. 45 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 25,651 meters drilled in 2026.

The expanded Bonanza Zone has a strike of 1.8 km NW-SE and 1.8 km NE-SW (see Figure 5). Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Bonanza is characterized by the presence of VG-NE as well as sphalerite and pyrrhotite in wide (up to 7 meters) intervals consisting of sheared quartz-sulphide breccia. Previously the Bonanza Zone contained 5 lodes up to 19 meters thick with a combined thickness of up to 27 meters and intercepts up to 8.35 g/t AuEq (8.31 g/t Au and 2.30 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-280) and remains open for expansion.

The expanded Golden Gate Zone has a strike of 1.6 km E-W and 1.5 km N-S (see Figure 6). Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Golden Gate Zone is characterized by sets of veins and veinlets hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks and mineralized with VG-NE, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite as well as trace pyrite and chalcopyrite. Previously the Golden Gate Zone contained 18 lodes up to 14 meters with a combined thickness of up to 49 meters and with intercepts up to 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-260) and remains open for expansion.

Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 25 out of 45 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open.

The fully funded 2026 drill program is underway and will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth (all mineralized lodes remain open for expansion and new discoveries), as well as test for the Motherlode Magmatic Gold Feeder Source, focused on defining a resource. Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open. Additional drilling will be allocated to testing a number of lithological-structural features linked to magnetic anomalies strongly indicating the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source. Directional drilling where multiple drill holes are extended from a single mother-hole is being employed on selected drill holes in order to cut down on drill time and money spending while also increasing accuracy of drill targeting.

  • 92% of the holes (355 out of 386) drilled prior to the 2026 drill season at Surebet contain VG-NE (see Figure 8) and 100% of holes drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization. See news releases dated: July 7, 2025, June 23, 2025, January 7, 2025, January 13, 2025, February 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, February 27, 2025, December 12, 2024, July 30, 2024, January 20, 2026, December 2, 2025, November 17, 2025, October 27, 2025, September 22, 2025, September 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, and July 28, 2025.
  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinctive rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in sedimentary rocks; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in volcanic rocks; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold).
  • Preliminary metallurgical testing conducted in 2023 on a composite core sample resulted in remarkable recoveries through a combination of simple gravity and flotation of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn. Recoveries through simple and cost-effective gravity alone amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 1.8 km2 Surebet Discovery continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of key terrain of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM data management software. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Sample Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values are provided for comparative purposes only and do not include metal recovery factors given that known metallurgical recoveries are only based on preliminary test work and may not be representative of all mineralization styles or zones. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results that confirm the expansion of the Golden Gate Zone to the Northeast by 320 meters of the previously known gold mineralization on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The Golden Gate Zone remains open laterally and at depth.

Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Advisor to Goliath and Strategic Investor commented: “When I spoke with the Company prior to this drill season, they made it abundantly clear that a considerable number of the planned drill holes would test extensions of various lode systems at the Surebet Discovery. Given that there remains exceptional opportunity to grow the systems high-grade gold footprint, I was delighted to hear this. We are now seeing the impact of this strategic decision. Drill hole GD-26-420 encountered a 6.51 g/t AuEq over 5.73 meters across the Golden Gate lode in a position 320 meters northeast of its previous limit. I believe we will continue to see many further drill extensions over the course of the rest of the 2026 and the Surebet Discovery is only going to keep on growing with every drill program.”

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our team is performing like a well-oiled machine. The goal of this 2026 drilling campaign is expansion and the directional drilling being utilized is paying off with the step outs being successful. The 320 meter step out of Golden Gate to the northeast is one example and nice surprise along the way. It is worth noting the amount of visible gold to the naked eye in the drill holes since we started drilling the Surebet discovery is unique, as well high-grade gold systems are not known to have such large footprints. After over 400+ drill holes have been completed to date the system remains open laterally and at depth. Grass roots High -grade gold systems tend to get challenging to grow them. But Surebet discovery is the opposite, we are challenging the geology and having no problems growing the system with aggressive step outs. The cadence of drill holes getting to the lab for assays is ideal, and we hope to have plenty more assay results throughout the rest of the year and into 2027.”

Drill hole GD-26-414 intersected multiple mineralized intervals belonging to the Surebet and Golden Gate zones. The Surebet Zone interval assayed 2.81 g/t Au over 4.00 m, including 9.79 g/t Au over 1.00 m part of the Surebet Zone. This first interval contains multiple occurrences of VG-NE within quartz-sulphide veins and breccias with substantial calc-silicate alteration. The Golden Gate interval assayed 9.87 g/t Au over 5.00 m, including 65.65 g/t Au over 0.75 m part of the Golden Gate Zone. This second interval is characterized by several occurrences of VG-NE associated with quartz-sulphide veins containing lenses of semi-massive pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, and minor chalcopyrite.

Drill hole GD-25-420 intersected the Golden Gate Zone extending it by 320 meters to the Northeast. This interval assayed 6.51 g/t AuEq (6.16 g/t Au and 7.27 g/t Ag) over 5.73 m, including 13.49 g/t AuEq (12.79 g/t Au and 14.12 g/t Ag) over 2.73 m, including 36.27 g/t AuEq (34.43 g/t Au and 35.17 g/t Ag) over 0.97 m consisting of a series of broad quartz-sulphide veins hosted in volcanic rocks where VG-NE occurs in association with semi-massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, pyrite and galena.

All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization. 44 out of 98 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 23,863 meters drilled in 2026.

Visible Gold to the Naked Eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 26 out of 38 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open.

The fully funded 2026 drill program is underway and will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth (all mineralized lodes remain open for expansion and new discoveries), as well as test for the Motherlode Magmatic Gold Feeder Source, focused on defining a resource. Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open. Additional drilling will be allocated to testing a number of lithological-structural features linked to magnetic anomalies strongly indicating the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source. Directional drilling where multiple drill holes are extended from a single mother-hole is being employed on selected drill holes in order to cut down on drill time and money spending while also increasing accuracy of drill targeting.

  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinctive rock types, including: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in sedimentary rocks; precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in volcanic rocks; and intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold).
  • Preliminary metallurgical testing conducted in 2023 on a composite core sample resulted in remarkable recoveries through a combination of simple gravity and flotation of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn. Recoveries through simple and cost-effective gravity alone amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The consistent continuity, widths and grade of ore mineralization demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple stacked lodes/veins confirms that the 1.8 km2 Surebet Discovery continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant high-grade gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years
  • The best hole drilled to date from the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units is GD-23-157 that assayed 21.08 g/t AuEq (18.95 g/t Au and 95.31 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters, including 33.75 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au and 150.42 g/t Ag) over 14.00 meters, including 50.27 g/t AuEq (45.27 g/t Au and 225.42 g/t Ag) over 9.00 meters (see news release dated August 15, 2023). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units is GD-24-260 from the Golden Gate Zone that assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • The best hole drilled to date from the Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process at Surebet and suggests a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system hosted in three distinct rock types. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of key terrain of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has shown predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush, including 48.8% recovery of free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgical testing completed to date shows no presence of deleterious elements (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated adjacent to tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Protocol

Core Samples Handling & Sampling

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill program is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM data management software. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Surface Samples Handling & Sampling

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

Sample Analysis

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) Calculation

Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values are provided for comparative purposes only and do not include metal recovery factors given that known metallurgical recoveries are only based on preliminary test work and may not be representative of all mineralization styles or zones. Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,222.08 Au USD/oz, Ag 67.76 USD/oz, Cu 6.43 USD/lbs, Pb 1,967.13 USD/ton and Zn 3,578.25 USD/ton (updated on August 4, 2026) using the formula below

A formula accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/428c5efa-0043-4f8f-9057-565932f26cb3

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Reported Drill Intervals and Assays

Drill core intervals are reported as drill lengths, where the true width is estimated to be 80-90% of the length. The widths of the mineralized intervals were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

The reported assays of drill intervals were calculated as length-weighted average grades using the individual sample assay results and their corresponding sample lengths. The average grade for each interval was determined by dividing the sum of the products of each sample grade and sample length by the total sampled interval length (Σ[grade × sample length] / Σ[sample length]). This method accounts for variations in sample length and provides a representative average grade over the reported interval.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 23, 2026) – Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE70) ("Gold Runner" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a 5-year drilling permit from the BC Ministry of Mines and Critical Minerals for its Golden Girl Property ("Golden Girl" or "Golden Girl Property"). The drilling permit is valid and in good standing until March 31, 2031 and allows for up to 100 drilling locations on the Golden Girl Property.

The 2026 surface exploration program is underway as scheduled with mobilization completed on July 12, 2026, and field work having begun on July 13, 2026. Thanks to a number of early new discoveries and the exceptional work done by the field crew, the first batch of samples from the Golden Girl Property were rushed to MSA Labs in Terrace, BC for analysis on July 20, 2026. It is anticipated that rock, grab, and channel cut sample batches will be shipped to the Lab at regular intervals throughout the summer 2026 field campaign. During this summer campaign, the team will be identifying and locating priority drill targets for our future inaugural drill program. The Company is fully funded for this season's surface exploration and its follow-on inaugural drill program.

Chris Wensley, CEO of Gold Runner Exploration, states, "Our field team has wasted no time digging in and locating new mineralized showings and structures. The rapid addition of new discoveries on the property and the collection of compelling samples so early in the program bodes extremely well for the balance of the season. We are very excited and encouraged by what we are seeing on the ground which makes it imperative to get a sense and understanding of these early samplings from new zones of discovery. This will be a big help in zeroing in on and tracing the scope and extension of continuous mineralization. We look forward to sharing results of this exciting program and continuing to unlock value for our share holders."

The 2026 exploration program includes: Airborne Magnetic survey and Radiometric survey (completed, see news release dated July 7, 2026); Mapping, sampling, and channel cutting (under way July 13, 2026); and LiDAR survey and Photogrammetry (commencing Aug 12, 2026).

Golden Girl Highlights

  • The Golden Girl Property covers 8,471 hectares in the prolific Iskut River region of Northwestern British Columbia, located just 17 km from the Snip Mine and 14 km from the Bronson Airstrip.
  • Discovery exploration in 2024 identified a major new gold-silver system measuring 12 km by 7 km with high grade gold-silver mineralization:
    • Grab samples assayed up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn.
    • Channel cuts assayed up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2,105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb, and 7.42% Zn.
  • High-grade mineralization occurs in structurally controlled shear zones with sulphide-rich veins, stockwork, and breccias, similar to the nearby past-producing Snip Gold Mine (which historically produced ~1M oz Au, 390k oz Ag, and over 249k kg Cu). (The reader is reminded that the information provided herein from neighbouring projects and properties is not necessarily indicative of resources and should not be relied upon for the determination of mineralization or potential results of the Company's properties).
  • More than 95% of the property has never undergone systematic modern exploration. Recent rapid glacial retreat and melting snowpacks have exposed vast areas of previously buried bedrock, opening large, untouched tracts of ground for immediate mapping and sampling.

The Company's summer 2026 exploration team, led by geologist, Nicolai Goeppel and partner, Ryan Purnell, are the same team that helped discover Juggernaut Exploration's (TSXV: JUGR) Big One discovery and Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) Surebet discovery. Their long-term experience and success in this world-renowned, Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia brings an intimate and deep understanding of the Terrane.

Both Goliath Resources and Juggernaut Exploration are partners within the B-ALL Syndicate ("B-ALL"), the optionor of Golden Girl, holding respectively, 4% and 13% interest in B-ALL, and as such are important strategic partners of the Company. Golden Girl is located approximately mid-way between Goliath's Surebet Discovery and Juggernaut's Big One discovery in the Golden Triangle.

  • The expanded Bonanza Zone has a strike of 1.8 km NW-SE and 1.8 km NE-SW. Previously the Bonanza Zone contained 5 lodes up to 19 meters thick with a combined thickness of up to 27 meters and intercepts up to 8.35 g/t AuEq (8.31 g/t Au and 2.30 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-280) and remains open for expansion.  
  • Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Bonanza is characterized by the presence of sphalerite and pyrrhotite in wide (up to 11.35 m) intervals consisting of sheared quartz-sulphide breccia (see image below).
  • Multiple step-out intercepts of mineralization have expanded the Golden Gate Zone by 400 meters to the south and 200 meters to the north, see image below. It remains open and assays are pending.
  • The expanded Golden Gate Zone has a strike of 1.6 km E-W and 1.5 km N-S. Previously the Golden Gate Zone contained 18 lodes up to 14 meters with a combined thickness of up to 49 meters and with intercepts up to 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-260) and remains open for expansion.
  • Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Golden Gate Zone is characterized by numerous sets of veins and veinlets hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks and mineralized with gold visible to the naked eye (VG-NE), sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite as well as trace pyrite and chalcopyrite (see images below).
  • Expansion drilling will continue to focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East and Northeast as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open.
  • Directional drilling where multiple drill holes are extended from a single mother-hole is being employed on selected drill holes in order to cut down on drill time and money spent while also increasing accuracy of drill targeting; thus far, all drill targets have been successfully intercepted using this method.
  • The fully funded 2026 planned drill program will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling with 7 drill rigs designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth in order to test the extent of the Surebet Discovery as well as the potential location of the Motherlode Feeder Source. The system remains open in multiple directions.

TORONTO, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report that initial drilling in the southwest area of the Surebet system has resulted in the expansion of the Bonanza Zone by 750 meters as well as the Golden Gate Zone by 600 meters on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. All drill holes completed during the 2026 drill campaign have intersected quartz-sulphide mineralization which generally corresponds to high-grade gold mineralization. 10 out of 107 planned drill holes have been completed with a total of 4,983 m drilled in 2026. Assays are pending on all 2026 drill holes completed to date.

Mr. Kevin Smith, Founder, CEO, CIO of Crescat Capital and strategic investor states: “Goliath continues to be one of our top ten holdings across our private funds. We have been a long-term supporter and continue to be impressed by the potential for this discovery to expand by drilling this wide-open, high-grade gold system. The abundance of visible gold in the first 10 holes this season is exciting. While the results are primarily visuals so far, who doesn’t like VG! Can’t wait to see the assays and steady stream of news to come as this large drill campaign continues, and this is just the beginning.  A fully funded 50,000+ meter planned program with 7 drill rigs…that’s the way it is done. Way to go, Roger and team!”

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Our 2026 drilling campaign is off to a strong start, with two key goals in mind: 1) extensively drill the area where Surebet, Bonanza and Golden Gate meet (hinge zones), which consistently shows high grade gold mineralization, and we believe one day would be an ideal starting point for mining operations at Surebet; and 2) explore and drill test new areas that expand the currently known extent of the mineralization, focusing on the expansion of the Bonanza Zone (now confirmed to the southwest) as well as the Golden Gate Zone (now confirmed to the south and north). Currently, we have 5 drills working and we will have 7 drills turning shortly. Since the initial discovery we have drilled over 156,000 meters with 100% hit rate of mineralization in a series of stacked lodes/veins and a remarkable 92% (355 out of 386) of the holes containing VG-NE. Our geological team is guided by the high-grade gold occurring in three distinct rock packages and have planned a drilling program focused on adding to the discoveries. Each year of drilling has enabled the discoveries to grow and have led to several pleasant surprises along the way. We are delighted with the beginning of our 2026 drilling season and look forward to a strong news flow over the remainder of the year.”

The expanded Bonanza Zone has a strike of 1.8 km NW-SE and 1.8 km NE-SW. Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Bonanza is characterized by the presence of sphalerite and pyrrhotite in wide (up to 7 m) intervals consisting of sheared quartz-sulphide breccia. Previously the Bonanza Zone contained 5 lodes up to 19 meters thick with a combined thickness of up to 27 meters and intercepts up to 8.35 g/t AuEq (8.31 g/t Au and 2.30 g/t Ag) over 23.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-280) and mineralized with gold visible to the naked eye (VG-NE); it remains open for expansion.

The expanded Golden Gate Zone has a strike of 1.6 km E-W and 1.5 km N-S. Mineralization in drill core from the expanded portions of the Golden Gate Zone is characterized by numerous sets of veins and veinlets hosted in andesitic volcanic rocks and mineralized with VG-NE, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite as well as trace pyrite and chalcopyrite. Previously the Golden Gate Zone contained 18 lodes up to 14 meters with a combined thickness of up to 49 meters and with intercepts up to 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters (drill hole GD-24-260) and remains open for expansion.

Gold visible to the naked eye (VG-NE) has been intersected in multiple veins and shear zones from 6 out of 10 holes drilled in 2026 continuing to confirm the consistency of the mineralization within the Surebet system that remains wide open.

The fully funded 2026 drill program is underway and will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth (all mineralized lodes remain open for expansion and new discoveries), as well as test for the Motherlode Magmatic Gold Feeder Source, focused on defining a resource. Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East and Northeast, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open. Additional drilling will be allocated to testing a number of lithological-structural features linked to magnetic anomalies strongly indicating the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source. Directional drilling where multiple drill holes are extended from a single mother-hole is being employed on selected drill holes in order to cut down on drill time and money spending while also increasing accuracy of drill targeting; thus far, all drill targets have been successfully intercepted using this method.

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed prior to the 2026 drill season within the 1.8 km2 Surebet discovery have intersected gold mineralization clearly demonstrating remarkable continuity, grades, and widths with of over 1,500 drill hole pierce points.
  • The updated geological model incorporating all available data prior to the 2026 drill campaign identifies 5 primary mineralized gold-rich zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich stacked lodes/veins and associated vertical Eocene-aged dykes.
Zone Number of lodes/veins Dimensions Key Intercept Status
Bonanza 5 1.8 km x 1.3 km x 19 m 8.35 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Surebet 9 1.2 km x 1.0 km x 19 m 21.08 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
Golden Gate 18 1.3 km x 1.0 km x 14 m 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m Remains Open
Whopper 12 1.0 km x 1.0 km x 6 m 32.67 g/t AuEq over 4 m Remains Open
Eldorado 2 1.0 km x 900 m x 5 m 13.93 g/t AuEq over 5.75 m Remains Open
Gold-rich dykes   1.4 km x 890 m x 25 m 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m Remains Open
  •  
  • The gold-rich Eocene-aged dykes extend for up to 1.4 km N-S and a vertical relief of up to 890 meters with widths up to 25 meters and intercepts up to 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters (drill hole GD-22-58) and remain open for expansion.
  • 355 out of 386 drill holes representing 92% of holes drilled between 2021 – 2025 at Surebet contain VG-NE.
  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock packages identified to date at the Surebet Discovery. This includes the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and the gold-rich intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in remarkable recoveries through a combination of simple gravity and flotation of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn. Recoveries through simple and cost-effective gravity alone amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The remarkable continuity, widths and grades demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple lodes shows this extensive 1.8 km2 gold system continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • 92% of the holes (355 out of 386) drilled prior to the 2026 drill season at Surebet contain VG-NE (see VG-NE heat map above) and 100% of holes drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization.

More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
  • Thanks to the mountainous topography, mineralization in the veins is exposed on the surface for 2.1 km of strike (1.0 km on the south slope and 1.1 km on the north slope) with a vertical relief of 700 meters.
  • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process of high-grade gold mineralization at Surebet and outlines a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system in three distinct rock packages. This gives the Surebet untapped discovery potential to increase tonnage and gold content in the various known rock packages. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
  • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of key terrain of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
  • The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area, in close proximity to the Red Line, has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery).

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

QA/QC Protocol

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2025 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,932.69 Au USD/oz, Ag 84.916 USD/oz, Cu 6.07 USD/lbs, Pb 1,964.45 USD/ton and Zn 3,328.50 USD/ton (updated on February 3, 2026). The widths of the mineralized intervals reported in this news release were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

  • Drilling has commenced on the high-grade gold Surebet Discovery with 2 drills on site and 5 additional drills arriving shortly for a total of 7 drill rigs to carry out the fully funded 2026 planned drill program. 
  • This year’s plan is targeting 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth in order to test the extent of the Surebet discovery as well as the potential location of the Motherlode Feeder Source. The system remains open in multiple directions.
  • Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East, Northeast and Southwest as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open, based on the surface expression of the zones observed in outcrop:
  • Additional drilling will be allocated to test a magnetic anomaly in the southwestern part of the system which is spatially associated with lithological and structural datasets and strongly indicates the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source; see image below.
  • A drill core re-logging program is underway focused on better delineating the gold-rich shear zones and veins based on the improved understanding of the geometry and grade distribution as a result of the updated geological model of the Surebet system that remains open.

TORONTO, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report that drilling has commenced at the high-grade gold Surebet discovery on its 100% owned Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The fully funded drill program will include approximately 50,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to expand the known mineralization laterally and to depth (all mineralized lodes/veins remain open for expansion and new discoveries), as well as test for the Motherlode Magmatic Gold Feeder Source.

Expansion drilling will focus on extending the footprint of the Bonanza Zone and Golden Gate Zone to the East, Northeast and Southwest, as well as expanding the Surebet Zone to the West and testing other gold-rich mineralized lodes/veins that remain open. Additional drilling will be allocated to testing a number of lithological-structural features linked to magnetic anomalies strongly indicating the presence of a Motherlode causative magmatic intrusion gold feeder source.

Every drill hole completed to date (2021 – 2025) within the 1.8 km2 Surebet discovery has successfully intersected gold mineralization. These results confirm predictable continuity, grade, and width across 5 gold-rich zones comprising 46 distinct stacked lodes/veins, all of which remain open for expansion. Visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) is found in 92% of the drill holes to date at the Surebet Discovery, in three distinct rock packages, with the VG-NE widespread in the majority of the known lodes/veins. The remarkable continuity, widths and grades encountered across multiple lodes/veins underscore the significance of this large gold system which has strong potential to become one of the most significant gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years. Success to date has effectively vectored toward several open targets, providing a strong foundation for further expansion in the 2026 drilling campaign.

Building on the updated geological model of the Surebet system, a drill core re-logging program is currently underway. This re-logging program focuses on better defining the gold-rich shear zones and veins by applying the improved understanding of the system's geometry and grade distribution based on the updated 3D model.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “Goliath is fortunate to have an elite team of geologists, drillers and support staff that have done a remarkable job every drilling season. They have pulled off what few teams are able to do in a year of drilling over a few months. To date, we have found a series of stacked lodes/veins that are gently dipping, similar to the Pogo Mine in Alaska which was found when gold was much lower than its current price. Of particular note about Surebet is the 100% hit rate for drill holes intersecting gold mineralization, with 92% intersecting VG-NE. These facts alone make Surebet a unique high-grade gold system. Especially considering that the VG-NE is widespread over a large area in three distinct rock packages putting it in a class that only a few discoveries worldwide can boast of having found in their drill holes. It is still somewhat surprising that after 156,000 meters drilled to date, that we have still not reached the limits of the system. Considering the geochemical signatures as we drill further down the mountain toward the valley floor, and that the VG-NE is getting more coarse and abundant, they are great tools for vectoring to the source and also indicate we are likely still high in the system. This season, we have a few key goals, one is to keep following the stacked veins laterally to expand on the Surebet lodes/veins and the Bonanza lodes/veins, plus testing a possible source that has a large concurrent geophysical anomaly. Each season the Surebet high-grade Gold Discovery gets bigger and delivers pleasant surprises, we are delighted to get the 2026 drilling season underway.”

Surebet Discovery Highlights

  • 100% of the drill holes completed to date within the 1.8 km2 Surebet discovery have intersected gold mineralization clearly demonstrating remarkable continuity, grades, and widths with of over 1,500 drill hole pierce points.
  • The updated geological model incorporating all currently available data identifies 5 primary mineralized gold-rich zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these zones comprise 46 gold-rich stacked lodes/veins and associated vertical Eocene-aged dykes.

  • The gold-rich Eocene-aged dykes extend for up to 1.4 km N-S and a vertical relief of up to 890 meters with widths up to 25 meters and intercepts up to 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters (drill hole GD-22-58) and remain open for expansion.
  • 355 out of 386 drill holes representing 92% of holes drilled to date (2021 – 2025) at Surebet contain Visible Gold to The Naked Eye (VG-NE); see map below.
  • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock packages identified to date at the Surebet Discovery. This includes the gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins hosted in the sedimentary units; the precious and base metals bearing veins hosted in the volcanic units; and the gold-rich intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical testing conducted on a composite core sample resulted in remarkable recoveries through a combination of simple gravity and flotation of 92.2% for Au, 86.5% for Ag, 94.2% for Pb and 96.9% for Zn. Recoveries through simple and cost-effective gravity alone amount to 48.8% Au and 10.3% Ag with a crush size of 327 micrometer (no cyanide leaching required to recover the gold and silver). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
  • The remarkable continuity, widths and grades demonstrated by >156,000 meters of drilling in multiple lodes shows this extensive 1.8 km2 gold system continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years.
  • 92% of the holes (355 out of 386) drilled to date at Surebet contain VG-NE (see VG-NE heat map above) and 100% of holes drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization. See news releases dated: July 7, 2025, June 23, 2025, January 7, 2025, January 13, 2025, February 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, February 27, 2025, December 12, 2024, July 30, 2024, January 20, 2026, December 2, 2025, November 17, 2025, October 27, 2025, September 22, 2025, September 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, and July 28, 2025.

  • The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property.

About Golddigger Property

The Golddigger Property is 100% owned and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area, in close proximity to the Red Line, has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

QA/QC Protocol

Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2025 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is selectively sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Samples are selected from continuous intervals of mineralization and/or other relevant geological features, including shoulder samples that extend for 3 meters into adjacent unmineralized and/or unaltered country rock. Along barren core intervals devoid of mineralization or significant geological features, one 1 meter sample is collected every ten meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold to the naked eye (VG-NE) or visibly high-grade sulphide mineralization.

Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate samples weighing anywhere between 0.5 and 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample site locations were recorded using handheld GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried out at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via IMS-230 and ICF6xx methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: 4,932.69 Au USD/oz, Ag 84.916 USD/oz, Cu 6.07 USD/lbs, Pb 1,964.45 USD/ton and Zn 3,328.50 USD/ton (updated on February 3, 2026). The widths of the mineralized intervals reported in this news release were defined to reflect both the assay results and the mineralized veining observed in drill core. Veining constrains the local width of the mineralized zone, while assay results define the grade distribution within that zone. Reported intervals are therefore intended to represent geologically meaningful zone widths at the point of intersection.

There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located, such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Transaction Creates the First Publicly Listed U.S. Rare Earth Recycling Company — Onshoring Critical Mineral Supply Chains and Eliminating America's Dependence on China

NEW YORK, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. (“HCAC”), a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “BCA”) with REEcycle Holdings, Inc. (“REEcycle”), a pioneering U.S.-based rare earth element recycling company. Upon closing of the BCA (the “Closing”), the combined company to be named REEcycle Inc., is expected to be listed on Nasdaq and would currently be the only publicly traded pure-play rare earth recycling platform in the United States.

The transaction contemplated by the BCA (the “Transaction”) represents a direct response to one of America's most urgent national security and industrial imperatives: the establishment of a domestic, China-independent supply chain for rare earth elements (“REEs”) — materials that are indispensable to electric vehicles, advanced defense systems, consumer electronics, and next-generation clean energy infrastructure.

TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Transaction values REEcycle at a total equity value of US$400 million, of which US$50 million is contingent upon achieving an annualised run rate of 50 metric tonnes per annum of mixed rare earth oxide
  • The combined company is expected to be well-capitalised at the Closing, with a minimum of US$40 million in unrestricted cash available to drive the development and commercialisation of REEcycle's rare earth recycling operations
  • Upon the Closing, REEcycle is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, providing access to U.S. capital markets and enhanced profile with institutional and strategic investors 
  • The BCA and the Transaction have been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both HCAC and REEcycle
  • HCAC currently holds approximately US$207 million in trust, providing a substantial capital base from which to fund the Closing and support the combined company's growth strategy

WHY REECYCLE — WHY NOW

REEs are the lifeblood of modern civilization. Neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium — the core constituents of high-performance permanent magnets — power the electric motors in every EV, the actuators in precision-guided munitions, the rotors in wind turbines, and the drives in advanced radar and sonar systems. Today, the United States sources the overwhelming majority of separated and refined rare earth materials from China, a supply dependency that the Department of War, the Department of Energy, and successive administrations have identified as a critical national security vulnerability.

The scale of the problem is significant and accelerating. Demand for REEs is forecast to nearly triple by 2035, driven by EV adoption, wind energy buildout, and defense modernisation — while supply, dominated by Chinese state-controlled producers, is expected to fall materially short.1 The global REE market is already in structural deficit, a gap projected to widen considerably through the next decade. Recycling is not an alternative to mining — it is the only near-term domestic solution capable of closing that gap at speed.

REEcycle offers a transformative solution: recovering REEs from end-of-life permanent magnets — the same high-performance NdFeB magnets found in discarded hard drives, decommissioned defense equipment, EV motors, and industrial machinery. Rather than mining virgin ore, REEcycle closes the loop, creating a domestic circular economy for critical minerals that is sustainable, cost-competitive, and entirely within U.S. control.

THE STRATEGIC CASE: ONSHORING AMERICA'S CRITICAL MINERAL SUPPLY CHAIN

The United States currently has no meaningful domestic rare earth separation and refining capacity at commercial scale outside of Chinese-controlled entities or joint ventures. REEcycle's technology directly addresses this gap by:

  • Recovering REEs from domestic waste streams, reducing reliance on Chinese imports at every stage of the supply chain — from mining through to final magnet production
  • Supplying high-purity rare earth material to U.S. defense primes, EV manufacturers, and technology companies under increasing regulatory and reputational pressure to de-risk Chinese mineral exposure
  • Qualifying as a domestic source supplier under the Defense Production Act and Buy American provisions increasingly governing Pentagon procurement
  • Generating a measurable environmental benefit — recycling permanent magnets uses a fraction of the energy, water, and land of conventional rare earth mining, with no radioactive tailings

REEcycle has already demonstrated its credibility as a government partner, having been awarded US$5.1 million in non-dilutive funding from the Department of War, with US$4.3 million remaining and disbursed monthly against spend. The company is well-positioned to access further federal support through the Inflation Reduction Act, Defense Production Act, and Department of War funding mechanisms as it scales to commercial production.

With China controlling approximately 85–90% of global rare earth processing — and demonstrating increasing willingness to use mineral exports as a geopolitical tool — the passage of time has only amplified the urgency. REEcycle's moment is now.

TECHNOLOGY: A UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON INNOVATION, COMMERCIALIZED

REEcycle's core intellectual property is grounded in rigorous academic research at the University of Houston, one of the nation's leading engineering and materials science institutions. The company's process uses innovative hydrometallurgical technique to selectively dissolve, separate, and recover REEs from complex magnet alloys at high yield and purity — producing market-grade rare earth oxides and salts that can feed directly into magnet alloy manufacturing.

Key technological differentiators include:

  • Feedstock flexibility: ability to process NdFeB scrap from multiple sources, including hard drives, EV drive units, wind turbine generators, and defense hardware
  • Closed-loop reagent recovery: process design that minimizes chemical waste and reduces operating costs versus conventional solvent extraction
  • Scalable modular design: process units that can be deployed at distributed locations near feedstock concentrations, reducing logistics costs
  • Proprietary IP portfolio: protected technology creating defensible competitive moats as the market grows

REEcycle's demonstration plant, currently being commissioned at a co-location site in Oklahoma leveraging existing infrastructure and permitting, is designed to produce 6–8 tonnes of rare earth oxide per year, validating the commercial-scale process ahead of full plant rollout. A final engineering study for the first commercial-scale facility, targeting 100 tonnes per annum of production by 2027, is being led by DRA Global with completion expected in Q2 2026. The company has already produced and independently verified market-grade mixed rare earth oxide across multiple laboratory analyses, with purity exceeding third-party requirements. Feedstock procurement is active and tracking below target cost, with strong inbound interest from U.S. and European rare earth refiners on offtake, and a successful pilot of REEcycle's proprietary Drive Disassembly Machine completed with a large data centre partner in Q4 2025.

REEcycle is not a concept-stage technology — it is a rigorously developed, patent-protected process backed by peer-reviewed science, with product proven at pilot scale and a clear, fully-engineered pathway to commercial production.

MANAGEMENT: PROVEN OPERATORS WITH THE EXPERIENCE TO EXECUTE

The combined company will be led by a leadership team that brings together exceptional depth in critical minerals, industrial technology, capital markets, and defense-adjacent industries — anchored by one of the most accomplished operational executives in global mining and resources.

Mick McMullen — Executive Chairman

Mick McMullen has served as Executive Chairman of REEcycle Holdings since its acquisition in 2022 and will continue in that role as Executive Chairman of the combined publicly listed company upon the Closing — a clear signal of strategic continuity and commitment to the mission. Mr. McMullen is an Australian-born geologist and mining executive with over 30 years of leadership experience across global mining and capital markets, and a track record of creating transformative shareholder value in complex, activist-driven situations. He is widely regarded as one of the most respected turnaround operators and dealmakers in the natural resources industry.

Most recently, Mr. McMullen served as CEO of MAC Copper Ltd. (NYSE: MTAL; ASX: MAC), which he built around the high-grade CSA copper mine in Cobar, New South Wales — acquired from Glencore for US$1.1 billion in 2023. Under his leadership, MAC was dual-listed on the NYSE and ASX in a landmark A$325 million IPO, before being acquired by Harmony Gold Mining Company (NYSE: HMY; JSE: HAR) for US$1.03 billion in October 2025, delivering a 32% premium to shareholders. Prior to MAC Copper, Mr. McMullen served as President and CEO of Detour Gold Corporation, where he executed a rapid operational and cultural transformation that grew Detour's market capitalisation from approximately C$2.1 billion to C$4.9 billion in just seven months, culminating in its C$4.9 billion acquisition by Kirkland Lake Gold. Before Detour, Mr. McMullen led Stillwater Mining Company through a turnaround that doubled its market capitalisation, resulting in its US$2.2 billion acquisition by Sibanye Gold. Mr. McMullen is also Executive Chair at Metals Acquisition II, a NYSE listed SPAC that recently raised $230m of cash in trust.

Mr. McMullen's personal investment in REEcycle and his hands-on leadership since 2022 reflect deep conviction that recycling-led onshoring is the fastest and most capital-efficient path to building a secure U.S. rare earth supply chain — and that REEcycle is the vehicle to make it happen.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The global rare earth market was valued at approximately US$19 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach ~US$36.7 billion by 2034, with recycling expected to grow at an accelerated rate as demand for domestically sourced materials increases.2 This is driven by EV adoption, wind energy expansion, and increasing defense procurement. The addressable market for recycled rare earth content from end-of-life permanent magnets in the U.S. alone is estimated to reach hundreds of thousands of metric tons of NdFeB scrap per year by the early 2030s as first-generation EV and wind installations reach end-of-life.

The U.S. federal government has committed billions of dollars through the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and Department of Defense funding mechanisms to build out domestic critical mineral supply chains. REEcycle is positioned to capture a significant share of this public and private investment as the only scalable, domestic, technology-proven rare earth recycling platform approaching public company status.

REEcycle's commercial plant design is modular and capital-efficient, with each facility estimated to cost approximately US$40 million to construct. The company's near-term business plan targets the deployment of 3–4 commercial plants across the United States, followed by expansion into Europe and other strategic markets facing similar supply chain dependencies on China.

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE

The Transaction is structured as a merger of HCAC's wholly owned subsidiary, HCAC Star Merger Sub, Inc., with and into REEcycle Holdings, Inc. Prior to the Closing, HCAC will complete a domestication from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation in accordance with applicable law (the “Domestication”).

Aggregate consideration to REEcycle equityholders will be paid entirely in shares of the combined company's common stock, providing REEcycle shareholders with full upside participation in the public company. REEcycle equityholders will also be entitled to receive an earnout of up to 5,000,000 additional shares upon achievement of the commercial production milestone, further aligning stakeholder incentives with long-term value creation.

In addition, HCAC may enter into on or more agreements to issue up to an aggregate of 6,125,000 shares to such recipients and in such amounts as HCAC determines, subject to applicable lockup periods (“Additional HCAC Shares”). HCAC will also reserve up to 2,625,000 shares for issuance between the date of Closing and thirty (30) days after the expiration of the lock-up period, to such recipients as the combined company’s board of directors determines subject to applicable lockup periods (“Additional REEcycle Shares”; and together with the Additional HCAC Shares, the “Additional Shares”; and the recipients of the Additional Shares, the “Additional Share Recipients”). If the commercial production milestone is reached, the Additional Share Recipients shall be eligible for an aggregate one-time issuance of 1,250,000 shares (collectively, the “Deferred Shares”). The Deferred Shares will be allocated 70% to the persons and in the amounts, as HCAC identifies in writing before the Closing with the remaining 30% allocated to the persons designated by the combined company’s board between Closing and before the occurrence of a Milestone Event.

Shares held by HCAC’s sponsor entity and REECycle legacy shareholders will be subject to lock-up for six months post-listing, subject to certain early release conditions — a meaningful alignment of insider interests with those of incoming public shareholders.

Subject to shareholder approval at HCAC’s shareholders’ meeting, the combined company intends to adopt a market-standard equity incentive plan to attract, retain, and align the interests of management and employees as the business scales toward commercial production.

The Transaction is expected to close following receipt of HCAC shareholder approval, effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be distributed to HCAC’s shareholders in connection with HCAC’s solicitation of proxies for the shareholder vote in connection with the Transaction, the prospectus relating to the offer of securities to be issued in connection with the Transaction, and other matters to be described in the Registration Statement, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

STATEMENTS FROM LEADERSHIP

Alex Bono, Chief Executive Officer, Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp:

"REEcycle represents a rare combination of proprietary technology, experienced leadership, and direct alignment with U.S. critical minerals strategy. We see this as a platform capable of becoming a meaningful domestic supplier, and we are excited to bring that opportunity to public investors. The dependence of U.S. defense and technology industries on Chinese rare earth processing is a vulnerability that must be addressed — REEcycle has the technology, the team, and the feedstock strategy to be a central part of the solution."

Mick McMullen, Executive Chairman, REEcycle Holdings, Inc.:

"We are addressing a critical U.S. supply gap with a faster and more capital-efficient solution than traditional mining, scalable across the U.S. and globally. This is both a technology opportunity and a national security priority. This business combination provides REEcycle with the capital, the platform, and the public market credibility to scale our technology and execute on the enormous opportunity in front of us. Every end-of-life electric vehicle motor, every decommissioned hard drive array, every retired defense system contains REEs that should be recovered and recycled in America — not discarded or exported. We are building the infrastructure to make that happen."

For Immediate Release

Chicago, IL – May 29, 2026 – Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses Franco-Nevada Corp. FNV, Harmony Gold HMY, Novagold Resources NG, DRDGOLD Ltd. DRD and Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. IDR.

Industry: Gold Mining

Link: https://www.zacks.com/commentary/2927906/5-gold-mining-stocks-to-buy-despite-industry-headwinds

The outlook for Zacks Mining – Gold industry remains under pressure as gold prices have slipped below $4,400 per ounce, hovering near a two-month low. Renewed Iran war fears, rising inflation concerns, a stronger U.S dollar and expectations that central banks will keep interest rates higher weighed on sentiment. Miners continue to face rising costs and labor shortages. Longer-term challenges include resource depletion and declining production from mature mines, which point to a potential supply deficit.

Amid this uncertainty, Franco-Nevada Corp., Harmony Gold, Novagold Resources, DRDGOLD Ltd. and Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. are well-poised for growth, backed by their strong balance sheets and growth initiatives.

About the Industry

The Zacks Mining – Gold industry mainly comprises companies engaged in extracting gold from mines. The mines may either be underground or open pits. Mining is a long and complex process, and requires significant financial resources. It involves exploration to evaluate a deposit's size; assessing ways to extract and process ore efficiently, safely and responsibly; and developing the mine before the actual mining process. It normally takes 10-20 years for a gold mine to produce material that can finally be refined.

Players in the industry nowadays use a range of sophisticated techniques to extract gold and convert it into dore bars, an alloy of gold and silver, alongside other impurities. These are then sent for purification, after which gold is purchased as bars or coins, or used in jewelry or other purposes.

Major Trends Shaping the Future of the Mining – Gold Industry

Gold Prices Dip to 2 Month Lows: Gold prices have tumbled to below $4,400 an ounce, the lowest since March 27, 2026. This was fueled by fresh U.S. attacks on Iran, which dampened hopes of a deal. This boosted the dollar and oil prices, feeding inflation expectations and reducing rate-cut bets.

Gold is currently down more than 15% since the conflict began. Even if both sides move closer to a deal, elevated energy prices are still expected to fuel inflationary pressures and encourage central banks to keep interest rates higher for longer, rather than proceed with the rate cuts.

High Costs, Labor Shortage Are Worrisome: The industry has been facing a shortage of skilled workforce, causing a spike in wages. Industry players are persistently grappling with escalating production costs, including energy, water, and material and supply-chain issues. Since the industry cannot control gold prices, it focuses on improving the sales volume and the operating cash flow, and lowering unit net cash costs.

The industry participants are opting for alternative energy sources, such as solar or wind farms, to minimize fuel-price volatility and secure supply. Miners are committed to cost-reduction strategies and digital innovation to drive operating efficiencies.

Declining Supply a Concern for the Industry: Depleting resources, declining supply in old mines and the lack of new mines have been a perennial problem for the industry. Due to the scarcity of discoveries and exhaustive existing resources, miners prefer building up reserves through acquisitions rather than digging new ones that are risky and capital-intensive.

On the demand side, the use of gold in energy, healthcare and technology is rising. India and China account for around 50% of consumer gold demand. The yellow metal has long been considered a safe-haven investment in financial or political uncertainty. Gold demand continues to be on the rise from central banks. Therefore, there will be an eventual demand-supply imbalance.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bleak near-term prospects. The Zacks Mining – Gold Industry, which is a 44-stock group within the broader Zacks Basic Materials sector, currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #149, which places it at the bottom 39% of 244 Zacks industries.

Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let us take a look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

Industry Versus S&P 500 & Sector

The Mining-Gold Industry has outperformed the S&P 500 Index and the Basic Material sector in a year. The stocks in the industry have collectively gained 71% compared with the broader sector’s growth of 41.5%. The S&P 500 has risen 31.9% in the same time frame.

Industry's Current Valuation

On the basis of the trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA, a commonly used multiple for valuing gold-mining companies, we see that the industry is currently trading at 7.30X compared with the S&P 500’s 18.78X and the Basic Material sector’s trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA of 13.74X.

Over the last five years, the industry traded as high as 11.74X and as low as 5.25X, the median being 7.92X.

5 Mining-Gold Stocks to Bet On

DRDGOLD: The company delivered strong operational and financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by higher throughput, disciplined cost management and continued exposure to a favorable gold price environment. DRDGOLD remains on track to achieve the upper end of its 2026 production guidance range of between 140 000 and 150 000 ounces of gold. The group’s liquidity position continues to support the internal funding of its expanded capital program while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet.

The company’s focus for the near term remains the successful completion of the ‘Big 5’ projects comprising its Vision 2028 to establish the platform that will unlock the balance of DRDGOLD’s gold resources. This is expected to expand throughput to 3 million tons a month and increase gold output to six tons (200,000 ounces) a year at a total cost of R7.8 billion ($1.54 billion) forecasted for the medium term. DRD shares have gained 70.7% in the past year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DRDGOLD’s earnings for fiscal 2026 indicates 164.34% year-over-year growth. The estimate has moved up 20% over the past 60 days. DRD currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Idaho Strategic Resources: The company operates the producing Golden Chest gold mine and holds a majority ownership interest in the New Jersey Mill, along with several exploration-stage gold properties. The company’s strategy centers on growing production at Golden Chest while reinvesting cash flow into both gold and rare-earth elements (REE) exploration projects.

The Golden Chest Mine produced 3,234 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2026. Exploration activity remained active, with roughly 8,700 meters of drilling completed across several targets, including Paymaster, Red Star, Katie-Dora and the H-vein. The company also stated that permitting is in place for drill programs this year at two projects in the Murray Gold Belt (Little Baldy and Niagara) and at two of its REE prospects (Lucky Horseshoe at Lemhi Pass and Cardinal at Mineral Hill) near Salmon.

IDR also secured an important milestone on the rare-earth front. One of its proposals submitted under the Department of Energy’s Funding Opportunity 3105 for critical material innovation was selected for funding. The stock has gained 158.4% in the past year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-based company’s earnings for fiscal 2026 indicates 33.3% year-over-year growth. The estimate has moved up 92% over the past 60 days. IDR has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 68.7%, on average. Idaho Strategic has currently sports a Zacks Rank of 1.

Franco-Nevada: The company reported record revenues, adjusted EBITDA, net income and operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2026. It benefited from record gold and silver prices during the quarter, strong contributions from Antamina, South Arturo, Hemlo, Musselwhite, and incremental contributions from Côté Gold, Porcupine and Valentine, all of which were acquired or commenced production over the past year.

The company also benefited from higher revenues from its diversified assets, particularly from Vale's iron ore interest, and Haynesville and Marcellus gas assets. One of the inherent strengths of Franco-Nevada’s business model is the diversified portfolio of precious metals, energy and iron ore. Franco-Nevada continues to deploy capital into new royalties and streams that can add long-duration optionality without adding operating complexity. Given its continued focus on cost management, the company has been generating high margins. FNV shares have gained 30.1% over the past year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this company’s earnings for fiscal 2026 indicates 58.6% year-over-year growth. The estimate has moved up 3.5% over the past 60 days. FNV has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.3%, on average. The company has a long-term estimated earnings growth of 13.11% and currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Harmony Gold: The company has delivered a solid operating performance for the nine months ended 31 March 2026, reflecting an excellent third quarter with improvements across all key operational metrics. Mponeng, Hidden Valley and Tshepong North delivered notable performances during this quarter. HMY remains on track to achieve full year production. The company has a diverse portfolio of gold development projects spread across South Africa and Papua New Guinea.

Harmony Gold is also progressing with development projects, including the Eva Copper project in Australia and its Tier 1 joint venture asset, the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project. HMY is focused on strengthening its position as a higher-quality, lower-risk global gold and copper producer, which will be aided by these projects. Harmony Gold acquired the CSA Copper Mine in Australia in October 2025 and has been focused on integrating the mine.

Harmony Gold boasts a strong balance sheet and generates substantial cash flows, which allows it to finance its development projects and drive shareholder value. Harmony Gold shares have gained 18.7% over the past year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Randfontein, South Africa-based company’s 2026 earnings indicates year-over-year growth of 115.75%. The estimate has moved up 3.4% over the past 60 days. Harmony Gold currently has a Zacks Rank of 2.

NovaGold Resources: The company is mainly focused on the development of the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, in which it has a 60% stake. The project hosts approximately 40 million ounces of gold in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, at an average grade of 2.22 grams per ton, more than twice the industry average. It is expected to produce an average of more than 1 million ounces per year over a 27-year mine life on a 100% basis, once in production.

Donlin Gold’s exceptional scale, high-grade open-pit mineralization, long mine life, competitive estimated operating costs, significant exploration upside[2] and location in an excellent mining jurisdiction place it among a rare class of global gold assets. In 2026, the primary focus remains on progressing the Bankable Feasibility Study of the project and moving to a subsequent Final Investment Decision. NovaGold shares have gained 121% over the past year.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for this Vancouver, Canada-based company’s earnings for fiscal 2026 is pegged at a loss of 18 cents per share. The estimate has moved up from the loss of 25 cents projected 60 days ago. NG has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 14.6%, on average. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 2.

How much a stock's price changes over time is important for most investors, since price performance can both impact your investment portfolio and help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.

Another thing that can drive investing is the fear of missing out, or FOMO. This particularly applies to tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Harmony Gold (HMY) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to HMY for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Harmony Gold's Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Harmony Gold's main business drivers.

Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited is based in Randfontein, South Africa. The company conducts underground and surface gold mining. It is also engaged in related activities such as exploration, processing, smelting and refining. Harmony is South Africa's biggest gold producer by volume with production of roughly 1.48 million ounces in fiscal 2025.The company’s mining operations are principally concentrated in South Africa. The company has nine underground operations located in the Witwatersrand Basin. Additionally, Harmony has an open-pit mine on the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt along with several surface sources treatment operations. The Hidden Valley, which is located in Papua New Guinea, is an open-pit silver and gold mine.Also, many of these mines are located in the Free State Province such as Welcom, Virginia, Tshepong and Bambanani, along with the Evander gold mine in Mpumalanga province, the Elandskraal mine at the West Rand goldfields in Gauteng province, and Kalgold operations in the North West province.The company has discontinued its mining operations at Mt. Magnet and South Kalgoorlie in Western Australia as a strategic move. Harmony recorded sales of $4,071 million for fiscal 2025 (ended Jun 30, 2025).

Exploration Projects

Domestic Projects: In South Africa, Harmony operates a total of nine underground operations, one open pit operation and several surface operations including an open cast mine, and nine processing plants, which are located in all of the currently known goldfields in the Witwatersrand basin of South Africa as well as the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt.

International Projects: In Papua New Guinea (PNG), Harmony has full ownership of Hidden Valley, an open-cast gold and silver project that began production in June 2009, and 50% ownership of the Wafi-Golpu project. Harmony’s exploration portfolio focuses principally on highly prospective areas in PNG and the Wafi-Golpu project in particular. Harmony expects that if Wafi-Golpu is developed, it will shift the company’s geographical mix from more than 90% South African production to 75% domestic output and 25% offshore. Harmony, in December 2022, also acquired the Eva Copper project and surrounding exploration tenements from Copper Mountain Mining Corporation.

Bottom Line

Putting together a successful investment portfolio takes a combination of research, patience, and a little bit of risk. For Harmony Gold, if you bought shares a decade ago, you're likely feeling really good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in May 2016 would be worth $6,013.70, or a gain of 501.37%, as of May 28, 2026, according to our calculations. This return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.

In comparison, the S&P 500's gained 258.27% and the price of gold went up 249.20% over the same time frame.

Analysts are forecasting more upside for HMY too.

Harmony Gold benefits from a diverse portfolio and long-term growth projects, including the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project in PNG and the Eva Copper project in Australia, which strengthen its international copper and gold footprint. Rising gold prices, supported by strong central-bank demand and geopolitical uncertainty, are expected to aid earnings and cash flows. The company also maintains a strong balance sheet, with net cash and liquidity improving significantly in fiscal 2025. However, higher operating costs, inflationary pressures, labor risks and rising electricity tariffs continue to weigh on margins. Production declined in fiscal 2025 due to weather disruptions and safety stoppages, while higher capital spending may pressure free cash flow going forward.

Shares have gained 16.60% over the past four weeks and there have been 1 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2026 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.

AngloGold Ashanti PLC AU and Harmony Gold Mining Co. Ltd. HMY are two prominent gold mining companies with a diversified portfolio of mines. Both AU and HMY are gaining from the surge in gold prices.Gold prices are benefiting from safe-haven demand, heightened geopolitical risks and trade tensions. The prices of gold are currently trading near $4,990 per ounce. The yellow metal has advanced 63.6% in a year.For investors seeking to ride this momentum, the question is: which stock offers better value? Let us examine the fundamentals, growth prospects and challenges for AngloGold Ashanti and Harmony Gold.

The Case for AU

AngloGold Ashanti, headquartered in Greenwood Village, CO, has operations in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea and Tanzania. In October 2025, it bolstered its asset base with the acquisition of Augusta Gold Corp. This addition expands AU’s footprint in the Beatty District of Nevada through the acquisition of the Reward and Bullfrog properties.AngloGold Ashanti also expanded its portfolio in November 2024 with the acquisition of Egyptian gold producer Centamin, adding the large-scale, long-life Sukari mine, which has the potential to produce 500,000 ounces annually. The Sukari mine produced a record 500,000 ounces of gold in 2025, positioning itself as a Tier 1 asset for the company.AU’s adjusted EBITDA surged 129% year over year in 2025 to a record $6.3 billion. This was driven by a 16% year-over-year increase in gold production in the year and higher metal prices. The upside in gold production was attributed to the contributions from the recently acquired Sukari mine and the solid performances of  Obuasi, Siguiri, Geita, Cerro Vanguardia and Cuiabá.Gold production for 2026 is projected at 2.80-3.17 million ounces, suggesting a year-over-year dip of 3% at the mid-point. Higher costs are also expected to weigh on the company’s performance in 2026.The company has been facing headwinds from higher operating costs for the last few quarters due to inflationary cost pressures from increased labor and mining contractor costs. However, the impacts of these elevated costs on its earnings were offset by higher sales volumes and prices.AngloGold Ashanti generated a record $2.9 billion in free cash flow in 2025, a 204% year-over-year whopping rise. The company ended the year with $4.4 billion in liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 billion.AU remains focused on its Full Asset Potential program to offset the inflationary impacts. AngloGold Ashanti’s significant exploration success over the past five years has added 23.1 million ounces to its gold mineral reserve (including acquisitions and before accounting for depletion). At the end of Dec. 31, 2025, the company’s gold mineral reserve was 36.5 million ounces, marking the ninth consecutive year of annual increase in gold mineral reserve.  

The Case for HMY

Harmony Gold is South Africa's biggest gold producer by volume, with production of 724,099 ounces in the first half of fiscal 2026. The company has been delivering over a decade of production consistency and is currently on track to meet fiscal 2026 guidance of 1.4 million to 1.5 million ounces. In fiscal 2025, the company produced 1.48 million ounces. The company’s adjusted EBITDA increased 39% year over year in the first half of fiscal 2026, ending on Dec. 31, 2025.  Harmony Gold has a diverse portfolio of gold development projects spread across South Africa and Papua New Guinea. Harmony Gold is also progressing with development projects, including the Eva Copper project in Australia and its Tier 1 joint venture asset, the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project. HMY is focused on strengthening its position as a higher-quality, lower-risk global gold and copper producer, which will be aided by these projects.Harmony Gold acquired the CSA Copper Mine in Australia in October 2025 and has been focused on integrating the mine into the company’s operating standards. CSA is the highest-grade copper mine in Australia with expansion potential. However, the company faces headwinds from higher costs. In the first half of fiscal 2026, the all-in sustaining cost increased 21% year over year. The company’s all-in sustaining cost guidance for fiscal 2026 indicates a year-over-year increase, suggesting inflationary pressure and higher sustaining capital expenditure.  Nonetheless, Harmony Gold boasts a strong balance sheet and generates substantial cash flows, which allows it to finance its development projects and drive shareholder value. Its net debt/EBITDA was at 0.18X and liquidity was $895 million at the end of Dec. 31, 2025.

How Do Estimates Compare for AU & HMY?

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AngloGold Ashanti’s 2026 earnings is pegged at $9.27 per share, indicating a year-over-year upsurge of 72.6%. The estimates for 2026 have been trending north over the past 60 days.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Harmony Gold’s earnings for 2026 is pegged at $2.65 per share, indicating a year-over-year jump of 108.7%. The estimates for both years have been trending south over the past 60 days.

 AU or HMY: Which Is the Better Pick?

Both AngloGold Ashanti and Harmony Gold are well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing rally in gold prices, along with their efforts to grow their production capabilities. AngloGold Ashanti has delivered a stronger one-year price performance than HMY. In addition, AU’s recent upward estimate revision, in contrast to HMY’s downward trend, gives it an edge. Given these factors, AU appears to be a more compelling investment choice right now. HMY currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), whereas AU carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Positive Points

  • Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd (NYSE:HMY) reported a significant increase in operating profit by 61%, reflecting strong financial performance.
  • The company has revised its dividend policy to potentially return up to 50% of net free cash to shareholders, indicating confidence in cash flow generation.
  • Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd (NYSE:HMY) achieved an all-time low lost time injury frequency rate of 4.23, emphasizing its commitment to safety.
  • The integration of CSA, Australia's highest-grade copper mine, is progressing well, with significant cost reductions since acquisition.
  • The company is strategically investing in copper projects like Eva and CSA to diversify and enhance its portfolio, aiming for long-term growth and resilience.

Negative Points

  • Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd (NYSE:HMY) faced challenges with a cyanide shortage and lower plant recoveries, impacting gold production.
  • The company's underground recovered grades decreased by 11% to 5.7 grams per tonne, affecting overall production efficiency.
  • Group all-in sustaining costs rose to ZAR1.18 million per kilogram or USD2,115 per ounce, driven by lower volumes and higher royalties.
  • The Hidden Valley production was disrupted by a tectonic-related mill motor failure and gold shipping delays.
  • The development of the Upper Merrin mine has been paused, pending further drilling to improve orebody confidence, delaying potential production increases.

Q & A Highlights

Q: Could you address the impact of the cyanide shortage and lower recoverability issues? A: The cyanide shortage was a one-off issue due to a force majeure by our sole liquid cyanide supplier in South Africa. We have since normalized levels and are constructing a cyanide dissolution plant to mitigate future risks. The lower recoverability was due to variability in the plant process, but recoveries have now normalized.

Q: Can you elaborate on the new dividend policy and its implications if leverage exceeds 1x? A: The revised policy allows for up to 50% of net free cash to be returned to shareholders, subject to Board discretion and net debt to EBITDA levels. If leverage exceeds 1x, the Board will consider the situation at each reporting period to determine the appropriate dividend payout.

Q: What are the main constraints at the CSA mine, and what steps are being taken to address them? A: The main constraint at CSA is the ventilation circuit, which limits underground mining activities. We are working on establishing additional returns to improve ventilation. Other short-term issues include infrastructure maintenance, such as fixing shaft steelwork. We expect to optimize the mine over the next 18 to 24 months.

Q: How does the acquisition of CSA and Eva Copper impact Harmony's strategy regarding Wafi-Golpu? A: Wafi-Golpu remains a generational asset for Harmony. The focus is on obtaining the necessary permits to advance the project. The acquisition of CSA and Eva Copper strengthens our position and provides optionality, but Wafi-Golpu continues to be a priority due to its quality ore body.

Q: What is the expected production rate for CSA once optimization is complete? A: Currently, CSA is targeting 17,500 to 18,500 tonnes of copper for this financial year. The processing plant has a capacity of 1.8 million tonnes, and we aim to alleviate constraints to increase production. However, it will take time to achieve steady-state production.

TORONTO, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQX: GOTRF) (Frankfurt: B4IF) (the "Company" or "Goliath"), further to its press release dated January 22, 2026 (the “Prior Press Release”), is very pleased to announce that it has received TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval and has issued 3,000,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to The J2 Syndicate and J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd. (the “Optionors”) pursuant to an amending agreement dated January 21, 2026 (the “Amending Agreement”) which amends its existing property option agreement with the Optionors (the “Option Agreement”) in respect of its Golddigger Property located in the Golden Triangle, B.C., which hosts the high-grade Surebet Gold Discovery. The Consideration Shares have a four month plus one day hold period from the date of issuance.

As a result of the issuance of the Consideration Shares, Goliath has earned the remaining 51% ownership interest in the Golddigger Property and now holds a 100% interest in the property. In addition, Goliath has bought down 1% of the 3% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) reducing it to a 2% NSR held by the Optionors.

Other key features of the Amending Agreement include:

  • Goliath must publish a mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) on or before June 1, 2030, and thereafter on every three-year anniversary of June 1, 2030;
  • Goliath will be required to pay the Optionors US$1 for every gold equivalent ounce over 4,000,000 gold equivalent ounces disclosed in an MRE rather than US$1 for every gold equivalent ounce over 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces; and
    • should there be a change of control prior to Goliath publishing an MRE, the acquirer would assume the obligations of the Company under the Option Agreement, including the requirement to deliver an MRE would be changed from June 1, 2030 to the third anniversary of the date of completion of such change of control.

Proposed McEwen Inc. Warrant Extension

The Company will not be proceeding with the proposed extension of the expiry date of the warrants issued to McEwen Inc., as first disclosed in the Company’s news release dated February 28, 2026. The TSXV did not approve the request as determined by the nature of McEwen Inc. acquiring Goliath units initially press released on January 9, 2025 and completed as an “expedited acquisition” that is treated according to their Policy 5.3. Accordingly, McEwen Inc.'s 2,590,673 common share purchase warrants of the Company with a strike price of $2.50 will expire end of day, March 10, 2026.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2026 / Lupaka Gold Corp. ("Lupaka" or the "Company") (TSXV:LPK)(FRA:LQP) advises as to current progress in pursing the proceeds of the ICSID Arbitration Award initially announced by the Company on July 2, 2025.

On December 31,2025, the Peru Ministry of Mining issued a supreme decree stating that the Ministry of Mines would be carrying out promotional activities at this year's Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) March 1-4, 2026 in Toronto, Canada in an effort to promote investment and foreign-funded development in Peru.

The Company wishes to remind the Republic of Peru and the Peru Ministry of Mines specifically that while they are promoting Peru as a good place to invest they are delinquent in their obligations regarding the Lupaka Gold Arbitration Award issued on June 30, 2025 by the ICSID Tribunal and the related Free Trade Agreement with Canada. It would be prudent for Peru to arrange for the payment of the Company's arbitration award prior to PDAC.

From a recent article in Bloomberg, the Chief Executive of one of Peru's largest banks stated "We continue to have cautious optimism, but we are even a little bit more upbeat because Peru's macroeconomic indicators are performing pretty well," Blomberg continued "Peru is one of Latin America's most stable economies-with low inflation and a strong currency-and a top exporter of copper and gold at a time of record-setting metal prices".

Gordon Ellis (CEO) commented "During this lengthy arbitration and award collection process, the price of gold has ascended from US1,500 to nearly US5,000 per ounce. From all accounts, Peru is financially strong and we see no reason why Peru cannot pay the Award amount immediately."

Award Background: In December 2019, the Company initiated an arbitration claim against the Republic of Peru under the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement. The related arbitration process was conducted through the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and continued until the ICSID Tribunal issued an Award in favour of the Company on June 30, 2025.

Subsequent to the Award date, Peru had 120 days in which to challenge the Award via a request for an annulment. The 120-day period passed on October 28, 2025, with no annulment being requested. Having no further recourse, the Republic of Peru must pay the Award amounts, otherwise risking serious impacts to its desired reputation as a welcoming mining jurisdiction that protects foreign investment.

As of January 31, 2026, accrued interest has brought the total Award to US$68.2 million.

For ongoing updates and more detail with respect to the Arbitration Award, please refer to the Company's website (www.lupakagold.com/projects/arbitration).

For background on the basis for the Claim, please refer to the Company's previous news releases, also available on the Company's website (www.lupakagold.com/news).

Lupaka was represented in the arbitration proceedings by the international law firm LALIVE (www.lalive.law), with the financial backing of Bench Walk Advisors (www.benchwalk.com). Both firms continue to be involved until the Award proceeds are received.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Service Provider (as the term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy of this news release.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 23, 2026) – Gold Runner Exploration Inc. (CSE: GRUN) (FSE: CE7) ("Gold Runner" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement with the B-ALL Syndicate Ltd. ("B-All" or the "Optionor") to acquire a 100% interest in the Golden Girl Property ("Golden Girl Property", "Golden Girl" or "Property"), from the B-ALL Syndicate.

Chris Wensley, CEO of Gold Runner states, "We are excited to begin exploration on the Golden Girl property located in an underexplored part of British Columbia's renowned Golden Triangle. The excellent work done by the B-ALL Syndicate team who generated the property allows us to get right into it with follow up prospecting and mapping of known high-grade gold targets in preparation for future drilling. This is the same team that generated and staked Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT), Surebet Discovery and contributed to advancing that discovery to where it is today. The B-ALL Syndicate also generated and staked the Big One discovery that was subsequently optioned to Juggernaut Exploration (TSXV: JUGR), who are actively exploring the project with drilling to commence this summer. We are looking forward to unlocking the full potential of this brand new discovery and bring long term value to our share holders."

Golden Girl is only 17 kilometers (km) from the Snip Mine and 14 km from the Bronson Air Strip, making for cost-effective exploration in the heart of the Golden Triangle of North-Western British Columbia.

Recent exploration, conducted by B-ALL, has identified a large new gold-silver system measuring 12 km by 7 km on the Golden Girl Property. The system features a gold-rich core surrounded by a silver-rich halo. Highlights from the 2024 exploration program include grab samples assaying up to 11.28 g/t Au, 3,262 g/t Ag, 5.37% Cu, 20% Pb, and 14.15% Zn and channel cuts assaying up to 3.74 g/t Au, 2105.45 g/t Ag, 0.88% Cu, 5.48% Pb and 7.42% Zn. Forty-seven (47) samples collected on the Property returned values exceeding 1 g/t AuEq (see table below for samples >1 g/t AuEq).

The Golden Girl property covers an area of 8,471 hectares (ha) located in the Iskut River region of Northwestern British Columbia. This acquisition places the Company in a richly endowed, underexplored geologic terrane in the heart of the Golden Triangle, approximately 17 km from the past-producing Snip Gold Mine, which historically produced approximately 1 million ounces of gold, 390,000 ounces of silver and 249,276 kilograms of copper (at an average 127.5 grams per ton gold over 8 years). Eskay Creek, which lies approximately 60 km east of Golden Girl, produced approximately 3.3 million ounces of gold and 160,000 ounces of silver between 1994 and 2008 (with an estimated 3.3 million ounces of gold, 88 million ounces of silver in reserves). Golden Girl is also located approximately mid-way between Goliath Resources Limited's Gold Digger/Surebet discovery and Juggernaut Exploration Ltd.'s Big One property, almost next door to Newmont's Galore Creek. The reader is reminded that the information provided herein from neighbouring projects and properties is not necessarily indicative of resources and should not be relied upon for the determination of mineralization or potential results of the Company's properties.

High-grade mineralization at Golden Girl occurs in structurally controlled shear zones within sulphide-rich veins, stockwork, and breccias, similar to the nearby Snip Gold Mine. Hydrothermal fluids took advantage of pre-existing structures to deposit gold-silver rich mineralization as well as sulphides such as chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite associated with quartz-carbonate rich veins. Pervasive alteration associated with fluid infiltration is often observed surrounding the zones of strong gold-silver mineralization.

More than 95% of the Golden Girl property remains unexplored. Rapid glacial retreat and snowpack abatement over the last 35 years have revealed vast areas of new outcrop that have never seen historical surface exploration. The Company is planning additional prospecting, sampling and mapping in areas surrounding the known mineralized showings, as well as detailed work augmented by geophysical survey in areas around the known drill ready targets in preparation for the inaugural drill program.

The Golden Girl Property is strategically located near major regional infrastructure with year-round helicopter access from the Forrest Kerr Road (39 km east), as well as in close proximity to a maintained power line and an active air strip. The project exploration qualifies for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC).

    About Gold Runner Exploration Inc:

    Gold Runner Exploration is an experienced exploration company focused on the exploration of gold and silver properties located in the prolific and Geopolitically stable mining districts of North Western British Columbia and Nevada.

    The Rock Creek gold project is Gold Runner's flagship asset, with 74 unpatented lode mining claims wholly owned and controlled by the Company. Emboldened by the results coming out of Rock Creek, the Company strategically expanded the land position with the acquisition of the nearby Dry Creek prospect and the acquisition of the Falcon silver-gold prospect in September 2022. Between the three properties, all targeting similar mineralization and likely the same hydrothermal system, Gold Runner Exploration now holds 239 total claims in close proximity of one another. These three gold prospects are situated in a region with proven "world-class" gold deposits (including Midas, Jerritt Canyon, Betze-Post, Meikle, and Gold Quarry), where the potential of finding large, high-grade gold-silver deposits is favourable.

    Gold Runner also holds a 10% carried interest in the Cimarron project located in the San Antonio Mountains of Nye County, Nevada, and comprises 31 unpatented lode mining claims, including control of 6 historically producing claims associated with the historic San Antonio mine. The property is located in the prolific Walker-Lane trend, approximately 44 km south of the "world-class" Round Mountain deposit.

    Gold Fields Limited’s GFI shares hit a fresh 52-week high of $53.31 yesterday, before retracing slightly to close the session at $52.89.

    GFI has shot up 227.7% over the past year. The company has also outperformed the Zacks Mining-Gold industry’s 148.1% rise over the same time frame. The rally has been driven primarily by gold prices surging to fresh highs yesterday on concerns over a U.S.-EU trade war and mounting tensions over Greenland, boosting safe-haven demand, further supported by a weaker U.S. dollar. 

    Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

    Let’s take a look at the factors that are driving GFI stock. 

    GFI Gains From Strong Production and Strategic Growth

    Gold Fields delivered a strong third-quarter 2025 performance, with group attributable gold-equivalent production of 621,000 ounces, up 6% quarter on quarter and 22% year on year, led by the ramp-up at Salares Norte in Chile, which produced 112,200 ounces, a 53% quarterly increase. Commercial production, improved throughput and recoveries were achieved alongside cost discipline, with All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC) down 10% quarter on quarter to $1,557/oz and All-in Costs (AIC) down 11% to $1,835/oz. Australian assets Gruyere and St Ives remained steady, while South Deep in South Africa benefited from improved underground access and operational optimization. 

    Gold Fields’ growth strategy combines organic project development and strategic acquisitions to enhance scale and portfolio quality. Key highlights include the Salares Norte project in Chile, which reached commercial production in 2025 and is ramping up throughput and recoveries, and the 2024 acquisition of Osisko Mining, giving full ownership of the Windfall project in Quebec, targeting 300,000 ounces annually at an AISC of $758/oz with FID expected in the first quarter of 2026.  

    In Australia, Gold Fields completed its A$3.7 billion acquisition of Gold Road Resources, securing full ownership of the Gruyere mine, producing 350,000 ounces annually. South Deep in South Africa continues to optimize production, while St Ives in Australia contributed 184,500 ounces in the first half of 2025, supported by new open pits.

    Goliath Resources (GOT.V) reported Tuesday the latest high-grade intersections from the 2025 drill campaign at the Surebet discovery within its Golddigger property in British Columbia.

    Assays include 19.13 grams per ton gold over 6.10 meters and 10.58 g/t gold over 8.30 m.

    The company said its drilling significantly expanded the extent of gold mineralization in all five main zones, which remain open.

    Goliath said it is awaiting gold equivalent results from the final 110 drill holes of the program.

    "The Surebet high-grade gold discovery continues to grow during every new season of drilling," founder and chief executive officer Roger Rosmus said.

    The company said its 2026 drill program will mainly focus on expanding the five main mineralized zones.

    "We are in the best financial position the company has ever been in as we are fully funded for our 2026 drilling campaign and are looking forward to expanding on the tremendous Surebet high-grade gold discovery," Rosmus said.

    At Surebet, 110 Holes From 2025 Are Pending Assays For Gold Equivalent Results

    • 100% of the drill holes completed to date on the Surebet Discovery have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization. In 2025, VG-NE was observed in 83 drill holes out of 110 (or 76%).
    • 355 out of 386 representing 92% drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery contain VG-NE (see heat map below).
    • The remarkable continuity, widths and grades demonstrated by drilling in multiple lodes shows this extensive 1.8 km2 gold system continues to demonstrate strong potential to become one of the most significant gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years. The strong results received to date will help vector in on drilling targets that remain open with excellent expansion potential.
    • High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock packages discovered to date at the Surebet Discovery. This includes the gently dipping gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias/stockwork veins; the gold-rich intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged dykes; and the recently discovered broad gold-rich zones of calc-silicate altered breccia. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion. This confirms the presence of a Motherlode magmatic source nearby, a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 1.8 km2 high-grade gold system at Surebet.

    TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to report assay results (gold only) for the remaining holes from the 2025 drill campaign at the Surebet Discovery on its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the “Property”), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. Highlights include drill hole GD-25-319 which intersected 19.13 g/t Au over 6.10 meters as well as drill hole GD-25-405 which intersected 10.58 g/t Au over 8.30 meters. Every drill hole completed so far, including all 110 holes from the 2025 season, has successfully intersected gold mineralization. These results confirm predictable continuity, grade, and width across 5 Gold-Rich Zones and 46 Distinct Lodes, all of which remain open for expansion. The fully funded 2026 drill program will focus on expanding the 5 Main Mineralized Zones, testing the Motherlode causative intrusive source, and build toward a future resource.

    Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Geologic & Technical Advisor to Crescat Capital, a strategic investor in Goliath, states: “The consistent reporting of thick high-grade gold intercepts from Surebet is remarkable. Yet again, we see in this news release several more holes that demonstrate the strong predictability of this lode system. Visible gold in core consistently delivers strong assays. While we have to remain patient to see the gold equivalent results from the final 110 drill holes, the confidence around the continuity of these lodes, their thickness and grade is growing with every release. Goliath is doing a great job to continually update the geologic model, with the assistance from the Colorado School of Mines, to show the remarkable Surebet gold discovery.”

    Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: “The Surebet high-grade gold discovery continues to grow during every new season of drilling. To date, we have discovered a series of stacked gently dipping high-grade gold veins analogous to the Pogo mine in Alaska. In addition, we have started to drill into a series of vertical Eocene-aged RIRG dykes were emplaced roughly the same as the stack veins. We have yet to find the limits of the stacked veins and RIRG dykes, which all remain open, or the source of where they come from, but we are excited about using them to vector into the Motherlode source. What is outstanding about the various high-grade gold mineralization is the vast distribution VG-NE over a large area, which makes the Surebet discovery unique. Another intriguing aspect of the VG-NE is that at the top of the system it is fine-grained and sporadic and as we drill deeper into the system it becomes abundant and course-grained. Which has us excited about following it toward the source. We have two sets of stacked veins (the Surebet series and Bonanza series) that dip in opposite directions but come together at the Hinge Zone. It is becoming clearer, especially through our 2025 drilling campaign, that the Hinge Zone has the potential to be a starter zone for underground high-grade gold bulk mining. Our team, including key people at the Colorado School of Mines, are excited about the advanced geological studies to help us prepare for the 2026 drilling season. We are in the best financial position the company has ever been in as we are fully funded for our 2026 drilling campaign and are looking forward to expanding on the tremendous Surebet high-grade gold discovery.”

    Assay results from the recently concluded 64,364-meter drill program have significantly expanded the high-grade footprint of the Surebet Discovery, which remains open for further growth. An updated geological model incorporating all 2025 data identifies 5 primary mineralized Zones: Bonanza, Surebet, Golden Gate, Whopper, and Eldorado. Collectively these Zones comprise 46 gold-rich lodes and associated Eocene-aged RIRG dykes.

    Table 1: Five main modelled gold rich zones and dykes.

    Zone Number of lodes Dimensions Key Intercept Status
    Bonanza 5 1.8 km x 1.1 km x 19 m 13.53 g/t AuEq over 11 m Remains Open
    Surebet 9 1.2 km x 930 m x 19 m 21.08 g/t AuEq over 23 m Remains Open
    Golden Gate 18 1.3 km x 820 m x 14 m 34.52 g/t AuEq over 39 m Remains Open
    Whopper 12 800 m x 450 m x 6 m 32.67 g/t AuEq over 4 m Remains Open
    Eldorado 2 680 m x 700 m x 5 m 7.91 g/t AuEq over 7.15 m Remains Open
    Gold-rich dykes   1.4 km x 890 m x 25 m 12.03 g/t AuEq over 10 m Remains Open

    Reported assay results from the 2025 drill campaign have yielded several high-grade gold intercepts across the Golden Gate, Bonanza, and Surebet Zones, characterized by frequent occurrences of VG-NE, as well as substantial sulphide mineralization. Highlights include drill hole GD-25-319 which intersected 19.13 g/t Au over 6.10 meters, including 22.86 g/t Au over 5.10 meters, including 29.09 g/t Au over 4.00 meters from the Golden Gate Zone. Drill hole GD-25-405 which intersected 10.58 g/t Au over 8.30 meters, including 14.04 g/t Au over 6.25 meters including 15.50 g/t Au over 5.60 meters from the Bonanza Zone, and drill hole GD-25-312 which intersected 10.56 g/t Au over 3.70 meters from the Surebet Zone. The gold grades, coupled with VG-NE within substantial quartz-sulphide veins, stockworks, and breccias, which are mineralized with sphalerite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite, highlight the potential for further expansion. These intercepts are approximately true width, and the assays reflect gold only. Multi-element gold equivalent grades for all drill holes will be released once all assays have been received, compiled and interpreted in the near future. See Table 2 below for a full list of assay results for all the remaining holes of the 2025 drill campaign.

    High-grade gold has been identified in three distinct rock packages discovered to date at the Surebet Discovery. This includes the gently dipping gold-rich stacked quartz-sulphide breccias/stockwork veins; the gold-rich intermediate to felsic gold-Rich dykes; and the recently discovered broad gold-rich zones of calc-silicate altered breccia. All mineralized rock types contain substantial amounts of VG-NE (from fine-grained to coarse-grained gold) and remain open for expansion. This confirms the presence of a Motherlode magmatic source nearby, a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 1.8 km2 high-grade gold system at Surebet.

    The remarkable continuity, widths and grades encountered across multiple lodes underscore the significance of this 1.8 km2 gold system which has strong potential to become one of the most significant gold discoveries in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle in many years. Success to date has effectively vectored toward several open targets, providing a strong foundation for further expansion in the 2026 drilling campaign.

    Surebet Discovery Highlights

    • Assay results are still pending for 110 holes from the 2025 exploration campaign for the gold equivalent (AuEq) values, that will be announced once received, compiled and interpreted.
    • 83 out of 110 holes (or 76%) drilled in 2025 contain VG-NE, 100% of holes drilled to date at the Surebet Discovery have intersected substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization. See news releases dated: November 17, 2025, October 27, 2025, September 22, 2025, September 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, and July 28, 2025.
    • 60 out of 64 holes (or 94%) drilled in 2024 contain VG-NE up to 11.5 mm (7/16 inches) in size, all of which returned high-grade gold. See news releases dated: July 7, 2025, June 23, 2025, January 7, 2025, January 13, 2025, February 10, 2025, February 18, 2025, February 27, 2025, December 12, 2024 and July 30, 2024.
    • 92% of the holes (355 out of 386) drilled to date at Surebet contain VG-NE (see heat map above).
    • The best hole drilled to date is GD-24-260 previously reported from the Bonanza Zone assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). ). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
    • The best hole drilled to date from the RIRG Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). ). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
    • The best hole drilled to date from the third distinct rock package consisting of calc-silicate altered breccia is drill hole GD-25-337, which intersected 10.60 g/t Au over 22.82 meters, including 15.19 g/t Au over 15.71 meters, including two separate intervals consisting of 37.28 g/t Au or 1.20 oz/t Au over 3.36 meters and 36.11 or 1.16 oz/t Au over 3.08 meters. The intercept is approximately true width, and these assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in the interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received and interpreted). More details on the QA/QC protocol can be found in the section titled “QA/QC Protocol” below.
    • Multiple gently dipping gold-mineralized stacked veins have been identified every year on the Surebet high-grade gold discovery. Recent discoveries include gold-rich RIRG dykes, Goldilocks Zones where the veins and vertical dykes crosscut (which are characterized by having high-grade gold in two temperature regimes) and recently discovered high-grade gold in a third distinct rock package characterized by calc-silicate altered breccia, which increases potential tonnage and gold content of the high-grade gold system at the Surebet Discovery.
    • The footprint of the mineralization discovered to date at Surebet is 1.8 km2 and remains open in all directions.
    • Thanks to the mountainous topography, mineralization in the veins is exposed on the surface for 2.1 km of strike (1.0 km on the south slope and 1.1 km on the north slope) with a vertical relief of 700 meters.
    • A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process of high-grade gold mineralization at Surebet and outlines a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system, now in three distinct rock packages. Which gives the Surebet untapped discovery potential to increase tonnage and gold content in the various known rock packages. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged RIRG dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
    • Goliath has drilled over 156,000 meters with over 600 pierce points in the Surebet Discovery located at the Golddigger property between 2021 and 2025.
    • The Surebet Discovery has predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush including 48.8% free gold recovery from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023).
    • Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of key terrain of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional discovery potential.
    • The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property.

    About Golddigger Property

    The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area, in close proximity to the Red Line, has hosted some of Canada’s greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization.

    The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and good metallurgy with gold recoveries from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present (see news release dated March 1, 2023).

    The Property is in a well positioned location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

    Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

    Disclaimer

    The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

    QA/QC Protocol

    Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2024 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain VG-NE or high-grade sulphide mineralization.

    Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%.

    All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into three plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via ICF6xx and IMS-230 methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where ‘xx’ denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry.

    Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: Au 2797.16 USD/oz, Ag 31.28 USD/oz, Cu 4.25 USD/lbs, Pb 1955.58 USD/ton and Zn 2750.50 USD/ton on January 31st, 2025. There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with the Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.
