Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property: Scale and Strategic Position

Golden Cariboo's Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property encompasses 96,183 hectares along a 90-kilometre gold trend in central British Columbia that includes more than 101 placer gold-bearing creeks. The property borders and partially overlaps Osisko Gold Group Inc.'s Cariboo Gold Project and sits along the Spanish and Eureka thrust fault corridor. A permitted 789-hectare portion of the property hosts the historic Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, originally discovered in 1865 during the Cariboo Gold Rush, with current drilling programs aimed at defining a mineralized system well beyond historic workings.

CEO Highlights Rapid Progression to Resource Stage with 24 Drill Holes

Company President and CEO J. Frank Callaghan stated that reaching the resource stage required just 24 drill holes, characterising this as an unusually rapid progression. He described the NI 43-101 as providing "a strong foundation" as exploration continues across multiple trends, with goals of expanding and upgrading the resource.
