Deep in the mountains of northwestern British Columbia sits a stretch of ground that geologists have long treated as one of North America’s richest hunting grounds for gold and silver. The region is known as the Golden Triangle, and it is here that Goliath Resources Limited (OTCQX: GOTRF, TSXV: GOT) has been quietly building a discovery on its wholly owned Golddigger property. For anyone who has never followed a junior mining story, the basic idea is simple. A company drills holes into rock, tests the core for precious metals, and slowly maps out how large and how rich a deposit might be.
The company shared its latest batch of assay results, and they continue a run of strong numbers. The standout came from a hole labelled GD-26-424, which cut 10.32 g/t Au over 6.00 meters. In plain terms, g/t Au means grams of gold per tonne of rock, so a higher number points to richer material. Inside that same interval the grade climbed further, reaching 15.61 g/t Au over 3.96 meters and 33.80 g/t Au over 1.82 meters. A second hole, GD-26-412, returned up to 16.65 g/t AuEq over 1.79 meters (Footnote 1).
What makes these figures matter is where they sit. The new drilling extends the Golden Gate Zone another 320 meters to the northeast, an area the company describes as remaining open, meaning the gold does not appear to stop at the edge of the current holes. Taken together with earlier work this year, the Golden Gate Zone has now grown by roughly 860 meters, split between 320 meters to the northeast and 540 meters to the southwest. In exploration, grade and width tend to move a story forward, and a zone that keeps widening with each new hole is the kind of result that draws attention.
This is not a one-time headline. Only a day earlier the same program delivered another set of high-grade intercepts, including 9.87 g/t Au over 5.00 meters and a striking 65.65 g/t Au over 0.75 meters. That story, along with a fuller look at the Golden Triangle itself, was covered here in Growing a Gold Discovery One Drill Hole at a Time, and today’s results build directly on it.
Behind the headline numbers is a sizeable campaign. Goliath reports that 45 of 98 planned holes for 2026 are now complete, totaling 25,651 meters of drilling. The full program is funded and aims for close to 50,000 meters using seven rigs, with crews working to expand the Surebet, Bonanza, and Golden Gate zones. Drilling on that scale gives the company many chances to keep testing the edges of what it has found.
Location helps too. The Surebet discovery sits within reach of real infrastructure, an unusual advantage for a remote project. The Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road runs about 7 kilometers to the east, with road access onward to the Alice Arm barge landing some 18 kilometers to the south, and high-tension power lies roughly 25 kilometers away. The nearby communities of Terrace and Prince Rupert add road, rail, air, and port connections.
None of this guarantees a mine. Exploration is a long road, and early drilling, however encouraging, is still a snapshot of rock beneath the surface rather than a finished project. What the past two days show is a program that keeps returning consistent, high-grade gold from a zone that has yet to reach its limits. For a reader new to the sector, that steady flow of results is the thread worth following as Goliath’s 2026 season continues.
