GNG Golden Goliath Resources Ltd

Golden Goliath is pleased to announce that it has filed on Sedar an independent NI 43-101 compliant technical report prepared by Discover Geological Consultants Inc., authored by Qualified Person Victor Jaramillo, P. Geo., for the Las Bolas Property. In this report the author indicates that to date a total of 11 silver-gold veins have been recognized, which are open along strike and down dip. Some of these veins are comprised of multiple closely spaced veins (also known as "vein systems").

The NI 43-101 report lists the mineralized veins as follows:

Las Bolas, Frijolar, El Manto, El Corazon, Providencia, San Luis1, San Luis 2, Maguachi, Los Hilos, Los Hilos 2 and Mosca de Plata.

The report states, "The El Corazon, Frijolar, Guadalupana, El Manto, Maguchi, San Luis and Providencia Veins show similar mineralogical and structural controls as those observed in the Las Bolas Vein system. The Las Bolas vein system remains open in all directions and further drilling is warranted. Most of the veins have seen limited exploration (few drill holes to none)."

Most of the aforementioned veins have been traced over 1 km and contain numerous historic workings including tunnels up to 400 m in length, demonstrating that mineralization is extensive. These vein systems are open in all three directions with known mineralization extending to depth.

The Las Bolas vein system within the main tunnel was found to actually consist of 7 discreet, closely spaced veins (see diagram below). In the Station 19 area of this tunnel the identification and detailed sampling on one of these vein structures resulted in a 45 metre long area containing a weighted average of samples of 1.25 g/t gold and 577 g/t silver with an average vein width of 2.12 metres. Approximately 200 meters further northeast along the tunnel at Station 37, a similar vein along a 30.6 metre long section returned a weighted average of samples of 4.7 g/t gold and 485 g/t silver with an average vein width of 2.12 metres.

Mineralization at Las Bolas:

The author of the 43-101 believes that Las Bolas-Los Hilos Property hosts an early stage mesothermal system of silver-lead-zinc veins followed by a later low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver phase. Both systems are structurally controlled and confined mainly along fault zones as veins, silica stockworks and breccias.

Mesothermal vein systems are formed at considerable depths (from 600 m to 1000 m or more) by hydrothermal processes in a temperature range of 200 degrees C to 300 degrees C. The presence of dark gray quartz veins, cutting and brecciating the early silver-base metal mesothermal veins or oxide veins may be related to this later epithermal event. The report proposes the following mineral characterization:

Type-1 mineralization: Ag + Pb + Zn (Au)

Type-2 mineralization: Au + Ag + As (Cu)

It is the opinion of the author of the NI 43-101 report that "at Las Bolas-Los Hilos Property, the possibility for defining considerable more silver and gold mineralization is excellent."

Filo de Oro Zone:

A fourth recently recognized (not included in the NI 43-101 report), gold dominant, mineralized trend called Filo de Oro intersects the other three mineralized vein trends. This cross cutting trend contains veins grading in the range of 0.43 g/t gold and 30 g/t silver over 1.1m to 78.1 g/t gold and 204 g/t silver over 0.5m as well as disseminated mineralization, suggesting good potential for a bulk minable gold/silver deposit with high grade feeder veins running through it. Filo de Oro is open in all directions and has a higher gold ratio. The work on the Filo de Oro zone continued throughout early December 2009 and will resume in 2010 as part of the ongoing exploration of the Las Bolas property, which is also scheduled to include drilling and underground development.

Location:

Golden Goliath Resources' Uruachic mining district is situated in the heart of the Sierra Madre precious metal belt and is surrounded by mines owned by major mining companies like Fresnillo PLC. Fresnillo's Orisyvo deposit hosts 2.8 million ounces of gold and its only 7 kilometres from Golden Goliath property (source: Fresinillo's website, www.fresnilloplc.com).

The Company is very pleased with the developments on its 100% owned Las Bolas property and looks forward to a successful 2010 exploration and development program.
