Golden Goliath Resources Ltd.: Exploration Update

13/07/2011 2:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GNG)(PINK SHEETS:GGTH-F) -

Golden Goliath is pleased to advise that exploration work on the Company's 100%
owned Nopalera property is progressing very well. 


The current exploration program at Nopalera consists of detailed geological and
structural mapping and rock sampling, both on surface and within old workings
which are being opened and rehabilitated. The results to date from this work are
very encouraging as they indicate Nopalera represents the upper portion of a
high sulphidation epithermal system, with excellent potential for gold
mineralization at depth. Road building, trenching and reinterpretation of
existing geochemical and geophysical data is also being completed. 


"We are delighted with the potential of Nopalera," commented J.Paul Sorbara,
president of Golden Goliath. "With Agnico-Eagle optioning our Las Bolas
property, Fresnillo's recent spectacular discovery of a huge gold deposit right
beside us, and Penoles staking large areas all around us, our exploration model
is being validated by some of the the world's largest and most successful mining
companies. We are extremely encouraged by our exploration results at Nopalera,
and look forward to an aggressive drilling campaign to test the high potential
targets now being developed on the property." 


Indications of high-sulfidation include widespread vuggy quartz and elevated
precious metals values associated with silicified and argillized structures. The
numerous old workings on the property give access to unweathered faces for more
representative sample results. Lower levels of the system exposed yield higher
values of gold and silver. For example, at an old mine about 2km south of and
some 400m vertically below the Nopalera concession, sampling has returned values
of up to 15 g/t gold from an exposed quartz vein averaging 1-2m in width. Mr.
Sorbara comments: "We see precious metals values increase with depth in the area
and this supports our exploration model. We are optimistic our planned drill
program will help us define an economic deposit similar to the nearby Orisyvo
deposit, which has an indicated and inferred resources of 9.2M ounces of gold
with additional resources identified which will be included in their next
scoping study.


The Company has purchased a new geophysical instrument (Terraspec), a
state-of-the-art spectrometer that allows us to map the distribution of
particular clay minerals which we expect will give us a clearer picture of the
epithermal system and assist us with targeting drillholes. Preliminary results
already indicate that the alteration is the result of a high sulphidation
system, which is believed to be related to porphyry style mineralization at
depth. 


Fresnillo PLC is the world's largest primary silver producer, and as such,
provides limited disclosure of its advanced exploration programs. However, what
they have disclosed about Orisyvo is: 




--  Indicated & inferred resources of 2.7M ounces of gold in oxides and
    6.51M ounces of gold in sulphides (9.2 million ounces of gold) 
--  Disseminated gold values delineated over a 1 x 1.5 km area, and through
    400 metres vertical extent, with grades ranging 0.5 to 2.5 g/t gold 
--  1.5 kilometer exploration adit underway 
--  Pilot plant to be established in 2011 
--  Additional resources identified with an updated scoping study expected
    early in 2012 



The Fresnillo claims that host the Orisyvo deposit border Golden Goliath's
Nopalera claim on its eastern edge. The proximity of Orisyvo and a similar
geological model has management very excited on the potential of Nopalera.


The significance of Fresnillo's discovery and the potential for the district has
not gone unnoticed by some of the majors. Penoles, the second largest Mexican
mining company behind Fresnillo, has now staked claims that completely surround
our Uruachic Camp. Agnico-Eagle Mines has agreed to option a portion of our
Uruachic Camp (Las Bolas/Los Hilos) and is one of our major shareholders. This
makes the area an important new emerging gold district with a world class gold
deposit and potential for more discoveries, three major mining companies
actively involved and Golden Goliath holding a substantial land position in the
heart of it.


The Company is planning a major diamond drilling program, the first on Nopalera,
for late this year or early 2012. The drilling program is currently estimated to
be about 10,000 metres and its objective is to test for mineralization of the
same style as that found at the neighbouring Orisyvo deposit.


"The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place, and the picture that's
emerging is one of a high-level epithermal system. We are extremely encouraged
by the exploration success of our neighbors to the east, and look forward to
drill testing our targets on Nopalera as soon as we are ready," commented Mr.
Sorbara.
