Vancouver, December 7, 2020, Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX.V GNG ) (US: GGTH-F) (Frankfurt: GGZ Golden Goliath has had on-going multi-element analysis on all drill holes since the start of the drill program in order to build up a data base to classify alteration and provide vectors toward gold mineralization. A picture is emerging as results come in of a type of gold mineralization frequently found in the Uchi Belt and Abitibi Belt. As previously mentioned in the November 26, 2020 news release, additional check and in-fill samples from holes K20-04, K20-05 and K20-06 have now been received which shed light on an extensive alteration zone found initially by hole K20-04 on line 600E. Anomalous Tungsten (W), Copper (Cu), and Molybdenum (Mo) were found associated with extensive sericite alteration and silicification, as well as potassic alteration (red colour) not seen in any other holes to the west that were first drilled. One high Tellurium (Te) value was also seen in hole K20-04 in association with the high Cu-Mo-W. Tellurium is an important pathfinder for gold in many gold camps.

This alteration prompted the drilling of holes K20-08, K20-09 and K20-10 to the east under Beauregard Lake to follow the Pakwash structure. More potassic alteration was seen in the basalts in the upper part of hole K20-08 which contained very high Tungsten (W) values, (above the extensive quartz veining). Although only slightly anomalous gold values were encountered in holes K20-07 to hole K20-10 of up to 49 ppb Au, the pathfinders may reflect a halo effect on a regional scale to a gold bearing Cu-Mo-W-Au system. In addition, syenite dikes have been encountered in several holes cutting the granodiorites and basalt which suggest the presence of younger alkali intrusions, possibly with Cu-Mo-W-Au associations, along the Pakwash Structure. Gold bearing alkali intrusions are associated with numerous gold deposits in the Abitibi Belt, such as Kirkland Lake, Matachewan, Shebandowan, and the Uchi Belt (Springpole). Tungsten is an important pathfinder in a deposit north of Red Lake held by Yamana Gold, and was produced with gold from the Hollinger Mine in Timmins in WW II.
Holes K20-08 and K20-09 intersected extensive quartz veining along the Pakwash fault structure. Combined with these pathfinder elements and the gold grain pattern in the tills, further work on Beauregard Lake is being planned, with a grid and IP surveys through the ice to be done in early January in time for a winter drill program on the ice. Structures already mapped by the airborne survey will be checked with IP prior to drilling. Sufficient ice has formed on the lake to carry out these surveys. Drilling can be done from both the ice surface when properly prepared and from the shore of the lake. This would be done when the east grid is being tested after the Christmas break. The Company has already applied for the additional permit required to drill from the ice.

The access road to the East Grid, which also allows access to the Central Grid south of Beauregard Lake is scheduled to be completed by December 15th. Both the East Grid and the Central Grid host gold grains and IP drill targets.
CEO Paul Sorbara comments: “We are expanding our knowledge base and also our exploration and drilling program. Methodical steps to lead us to our goal. By utilizing all the scientific data, such as alteration types, pathfinders and patterns, and following dissseminated sulphide zones as defined by the IP surveys, especially when they are situated up ice from gold grains in tills, the company can be successful in its mission.”
