Golden Goliath Resources Ltd.: Exploration Update
August 23 2007 - 4:57PM
Marketwired Canada
Golden Goliath (TSX VENTURE:GNG)(PINK SHEETS:GGTHF), a junior exploration
company, is pleased to report the satisfactory progress of the exploration
drilling program at its 100% owned Uruachic mining camp. Five holes totaling
1,104.1 metres have been completed in the vicinity of the old San Martin mine
located on the San Timoteo property with a 6th hole presently drilling to depth.
The San Martin mine's historic production records indicate an average grade of
7.8 grams gold/tonne and 1,038 grams silver/tonne, from a structure that is 800
metres long and 2.2 metres wide. These are the first drill holes to test the San
Martin and adjacent structures.
Additionally, five shorter holes totaling 462.25 metres have been completed just
north of the San Timoteo workings, close to the old Las Animas Mine, where
historic production grades ranged from 5.67 to 7.08 kilograms of silver per
tonne. The first San Timoteo hole intersected 217 grams silver/tonne over 1.25
metres at a depth of 192 metres, which was just prior to entering an unknown
underground working that stopped the hole just as it entered the target zone.
This hole will be re-drilled to avoid the workings and test the target zone in
the near future.
The first short Las Animas hole also cut 61 grams silver/tonne and 0.2 grams
gold/tonne from 42 to 43 metres. However, many of the assay results are yet to
be received as turnaround time has increased due to the heavy workload at the
labs. Results will be released when they are more complete.
"I am pleased to report this progress, because it has been made during one of
the heaviest precipitation seasons in recent history in the Uruachic region,"
said Paul Sorbara, M.Sc., P.Geo., President, Golden Goliath. "In addition, the
original drill that started the program has now been demobilized from the
property due to decreased performance, leaving one highly efficient rig working
at operational capacity. A second identical drill rig from the same contractor
is scheduled to be on site at San Timoteo next week. In addition, the Company
has signed a contract with a new drilling company and that equipment should be
ready to start on the La Reforma property in about two weeks. Negotiations are
currently underway with at least two other large drill companies for a fourth
drill rig, suitable for the Las Bolas work that we have planned. We have always
realized the vast potential available to us at this historically prolific mining
camp and we are anxious to further delineate these lands going forward as we
look to continually build value for Golden Goliath shareholders."
In addition to drilling, over the past two months, the Company has constructed
14.54 kilometres of drill access roads and constructed 30 drill pads in
preparation for a much larger program that will include the San Timoteo-Nueva
Union area, the La Reforma property and Las Bolas.
