Surebet Gold Expansion
Goliath Resources Completes Drill Program and Expands Surebet Gold Footprint
Anonymous
Goliath Resources completed its 2026 drill program at the Surebet gold discovery on the Golddigger property in British Columbia, drilling 48,443 meters across 97 holes in 94 days with seven rigs. Every hole intersected the targeted quartz-sulphide mineralization, while 59% of this season’s holes contained visible gold; across the project, 412 of 483 holes have contained visible gold. Step-out drilling expanded the Surebet footprint by 12% to 2.01 square kilometers, enlarging the Bonanza and Golden Gate zones and identifying the new Big Bulk Zone between them, which contains stacked mineralized veinlets that may support bulk-mining methods. Assay results remain pending for 83 holes, and the company plans to update its geological models and develop a 2027 drilling strategy after the remaining data are analyzed.
Key Points
1
Initial reported assays included several high-grade intersections, including 7.38 g/t gold equivalent over 35.70 metres, 10.90 g/t gold equivalent over 6.00 metres, and 13.81 g/t gold over 4.85 metres; these results represent only a fraction of the 2026 drilling data.
2
The Bonanza Zone expanded from 1.27 to 1.51 square kilometres, with step-out drilling extending it as far as 750 metres to the southwest, while the Golden Gate Zone grew from 0.85 to 1.17 square kilometres through extensions to the northeast and southwest; both zones remain open.
3
The Big Bulk Zone’s mineralized vein packages were reported to reach up to 58 metres in thickness in volcanic rocks, adding to its potential suitability for lower-cost bulk-mining methods.
4
Mineralization has been identified in three principal rock settings: quartz-sulphide breccias and stockwork veins in sedimentary units, precious- and base-metal-bearing veins in volcanic units, and intermediate-to-felsic Eocene-aged dykes. The company interprets this as evidence of a large, multiphase mineralizing event potentially driven by an intrusion at depth.
5
Since the project was first explored in 2021, the system has developed into 46 confirmed, stacked gold-bearing veins within 21 cumulative months of fieldwork, according to one industry account.
