UPDATE: Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE: GCC) Intersects 275.31 m (903.2 ft) of 0.53 g/t Gold Including 50.99 m (167.3 ft) of 1.28 g/t Gold in the Halo Zone

Nov 19, 2024

Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) announces today results from drill hole QGQ24-16 which intersected 275.31 m (903.2 ft) of 0.53 g/t gold from a depth of 39.01 m (127.99 ft), including 50.99 m (167.3 ft) of 1.28 g/t gold from 39.01 m depth. This is the initial drill hole from the current phase of drilling and represents strong widths and continuity of gold mineralization within the Halo zone discovery.

The drill hole, set up at an azimuth of 315 º and inclination of -45 º, was designed to intersect the northeast trending mineralized quartz-carbonate+/-pyrite veins at a perpendicular angle, which are oblique to observed northwest trending lithological contacts and the mineralized zone. Several generations and types of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins are observed within the mineralized zone, and gold mineralization is associated with a carbonate-sericite bleaching alteration of intermediate to mafic volcanic host rocks.

The hole encountered a fault at the overburden-bedrock interface which resulted in no reliable recovery from the top of bedrock until a depth of 39.01 m, where the reported mineralized interval begins. Drill holes QGQ24-17 and QGQ24-18 collared from the same drill pad did not encounter this issue and recovered strongly altered volcanics containing quartz-carbonate+/-pyrite veins from a shallower depth. Additionally, the drill hole experienced significant deviation with a steepening of 18 º (to -63 º ) and westward deviation, which directed the drill hole along the interpreted margin of the mineralized zone. Moving forward, the Company has set out to complete a series of north-trending drillholes to define the Halo discovery (see Figure 1 enclosed), as a drilling direction that is amenable to both intersecting northeast-trending mineralized veins and the northwest-trending mineralized zone.

Golden Cariboo’s President and CEO, Frank Callaghan stated “With each drill hole we are hitting large intercepts of a broad and continuous gold zone. These grades and widths are not unlike those seen in many producing gold mines globally, let alone being located near surface and just 4 kilometers away from a community, railway and major highway in north-central British Columbia.”

QA/QC samples including blanks, standards and coarse reject duplicates constitute 5% of the total number of samples.

The shipments were sent to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver (accredited) for its laboratory analysis. Assays were crushed by ALS to >70% passing below 2 mm and split using a riffle splitter. 1000 g splits were pulverized to >85% passing below 75 microns. An aqua regia digest with an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish was used for 36-element analysis on 0.5 g aliquot. All samples were analyzed for gold content by fire assay with an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish on 50 g aliquot. Any sample returning >10 g/t Au was reanalysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish on a 50 g sample (ALS code: Au-GRA21). Additionally select samples have been chosen for metallic screening. For metallic screening, a 1 kg pulp was screened to 100 microns. The entire oversize fraction and duplicate 50 g assays on the undersize fraction were completed.

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property which is almost fully encircled on 3 of 4 sides by Osisko Development (NSE-ODV/TSXV-ODV). Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90 km trend from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property have recorded production and successful placer mining continues to this day.

Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 km northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Project includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 in conjunction with placer mining activities. Hixon Creek, which dissects the old workings, is a placer creek which has seen small-scale placer production since the mid 1860s.
