Goliath's Surebet Discovery to Shine on Global Stage at PDAC 2026

TORONTO, ON – January 28, 2026 – Junior explorer Goliath Resources Limited is set to take center stage at the world’s premier mining convention, having secured a coveted spot to showcase its high-grade Surebet gold discovery. The company announced it was selected by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) technical committee to present its drill core at the prestigious Core Shack event during the upcoming March convention in Toronto.

This selection provides a powerful platform for Goliath to present physical evidence of its exploration success in British Columbia's famed Golden Triangle to a global audience of investors, analysts, and major mining executives. The company will be featured during Session B, on March 3rd and 4th, a prime opportunity that comes as the market eagerly awaits assay results from 110 drill holes completed during its massive 2025 exploration campaign.

A Golden Ticket to the Global Stage

For any junior exploration company, an invitation to the PDAC Core Shack is more than just a speaking slot; it is a significant third-party validation of a project's technical merit. The selection process is highly competitive, with a PDAC technical committee vetting applications to feature only the most compelling new discoveries and ongoing projects from around the globe. This endorsement elevates a project above the market noise, signaling to potential investors and partners that the underlying geology is worth a closer look.

"Being chosen for the Core Shack is a stamp of approval that money can't buy," commented a seasoned mining analyst familiar with the PDAC selection process. "It tells the market that technical experts see genuine potential. For a company like Goliath, with a major batch of drill results pending, the timing is impeccable. It allows them to physically show the mineralization to the very people who might fund its future development."

The exposure is unparalleled. The PDAC convention attracts upwards of 30,000 attendees from over 130 countries, creating a unique nexus of capital and opportunity. By displaying the actual drill core from Surebet, Goliath can move beyond spreadsheets and presentations, offering a tangible look at the system's geology and high-grade intercepts that have defined the discovery to date.

Unpacking the Surebet Discovery

The project at the heart of this attention is the Surebet discovery, located on Goliath's 100% controlled Golddigger Property. Situated in the prolific Eskay Rift region of British Columbia's Golden Triangle, the property lies in a geological setting that has birthed some of Canada's most legendary mines, including Eskay Creek, Snip, and Premier. Goliath's land package is substantial, covering over 91,000 hectares and controlling an impressive 56 kilometers of the "Red Line," a critical geological contact that serves as a key exploration marker for major deposits in the region.

What makes Surebet particularly compelling is its remarkable consistency. Since its maiden drill campaign in 2021, Goliath has drilled over 150,000 meters and boasts a 100% hit rate of intersecting the targeted mineralized system in every single drill hole. This exceptional continuity across a 1.8 square-kilometer area suggests a robust and predictable system, a highly desirable trait that significantly de-risks further exploration and resource definition.

While the company has yet to publish a maiden resource estimate, the sheer volume of drilling and the consistency of mineralization have positioned it as one of the most-watched emerging discoveries in the Golden Triangle. The pending results from the 2025 program are expected to be a critical step toward defining the overall scale and grade of this expansive system.

Beyond the Grade: Favorable Metallurgy and Infrastructure

High-grade drill results are only part of the equation for building a successful mine. Two other critical factors—metallurgy and infrastructure—can make or break a project, and here Goliath appears to have significant advantages. Metallurgical testing on core from the Surebet discovery has yielded exceptional results, demonstrating gold recoveries of 92.2% using only simple gravity and flotation methods.

Crucially, nearly half of that recovery—48.8%—comes from free gold captured by gravity alone. This indicates that the gold is not locked in complex minerals, which can be costly and difficult to process. Furthermore, the tests have shown no deleterious elements and, most notably, no requirement for cyanide to achieve high recoveries. This "clean" metallurgy not only points to potentially lower processing costs but also presents a significant environmental advantage, a factor of growing importance to investors and regulators.

The project's location further enhances its potential. The Golddigger Property is situated near significant existing and planned infrastructure. It is just a few kilometers from the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road and has access to tidewater at Alice Arm, allowing for potential barge access to the deep-sea port of Prince Rupert. Proximity to high-tension power lines, regional airports, and service communities like Terrace reduces the logistical hurdles and capital costs that often challenge remote exploration projects.

Funded for Success with Results on the Horizon

Underpinning this operational success is a strong financial foundation and the backing of notable strategic investors. Goliath is supported by well-known figures in the mining investment world, including Eric Sprott and Crescat Capital, whose participation lends significant credibility and financial firepower. The company has stated it is fully funded for a 2026 drill program of similar size to its 64,364-meter campaign in 2025, ensuring that exploration momentum will not be stalled by a lack of capital.

This financial stability allows the company to focus on the ultimate prize: defining a world-class gold deposit. The entire market is now watching for the 110 holes of pending assay results from the 2025 season. The convergence of this imminent, large-scale data release with the high-profile platform of the PDAC Core Shack creates a potentially transformative moment for the company. Investors and industry peers will be gathered in Toronto, looking directly at the Surebet core, while simultaneously anticipating the digital proof of its value in the forthcoming assay tables. This confluence of physical evidence and pending data could very well define the next chapter for Goliath Resources and its Surebet discovery.
