Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GNG)(PINK SHEETS:GGTH-F) is pleased
to announce additional assay results from recent drilling at the Las Bolas
project area located in the east-central section of the Company's district sized
Uruachic Camp. A large portion of the core samples from these holes were
previously assayed and announced in prior press releases, but in some cases the
entire length of the core was not assayed. Upon receipt of the initial round of
assays, the Company sent out some of the remaining core sections for assay with
those results exhibited in the table below, which also includes confirmation
assays of some previous intersections. Highlights of this new set of assays
include a 7.22 meter section from drill hole BDD-08-20 grading 224 grams per
tonne silver and 0.10 grams per tonne gold. In addition, a 0.72 meter section
from drill hole BDD-08-24 assayed at 429 grams per tonne silver and 0.10 grams
per tonne gold.


Below are the assays of the drill holes received as of December, 2008.

Commenting on this latest round of assay results, Paul Sorbara, CEO for Golden
Goliath, stated: "We continue to be extremely pleased with drill results from
our Las Bolas project. Las Bolas is quickly proving to be one of our most
significant precious metal targets within the Uruachic Camp, along with San
Timoteo. We are also very encouraged by the fact that some of the drill holes
(e.g. BDD-08-24) in this latest round have intersected very good grade
mineralization in the same zones that were drilled in 2003-2004 by reverse
circulation which returned significantly lower grades, thus confirming our
hypothesis that these earlier RC results were misleading and had lost some
important mineralization." Please refer to the attached map for the location of
these drill holes.


New Project Area Discovered in Q4 of 2008 - Las Bolas II

Golden Goliath has continued to maintain an active exploration crew in the
Uruachic Camp. In the months of November and December, 2008, the exploration
crew was focused on the North/North East part of the Las Bolas area. This
exploration work has resulted in the discovery of a new zone that is believed to
be similar in geological characteristics to the Company's Las Bolas-Gambusino
area, which is located some 500 metres to the southwest. The host rock,
andesitic breccia, and mineralization found in the new area are considered to be
identical to the Las Bolas-Gambusino area and has been mapped to date over a 300
m length and is open in two directions. Field work is currently continuing in
this area in order to get a better understanding of its size potential.
Preliminary grab samples of the mineralized structures has returned assays of up
to 23 grams per tonne silver and 0.13 grams per tonne gold. The Company is
currently focusing on detailed mapping and exploration to find the extent of
this newly discovered area, to better understand the genetic relationship
between this new zone and Las Bolas-Gambusino. This new prospect target area has
been named Las Bolas II, and is considered by management to be a very
significant discovery with excellent potential for high grade gold and silver
mineralization. Please refer to the table and the map below for sampling details
for this newly discovered zone.

As previously reported, the Company is proceeding with its work to complete and
publish a mineral inventory of select exploration targets within its 100% owned
Uruachic Camp prospect area. The mineral inventory estimation will take place,
upon review of the existing data, under the supervision of an independent
qualified person and will be conducted pursuant to NI 43-101 standards. The
Company is of the belief that there are presently enough data points collected
for the resource estimation study through the drilling and underground sampling
programs completed to date. At this time Golden Goliath's technical team is
preparing all the necessary data, level plan, cross sections and longitudinal
sections for the study. The study will also greatly assist the Company in
developing its next drill program by defining target areas which can most easily
add tonnage to the mineralization.


Both Las Bolas and San Timoteo are priority target zones of the Company's
district sized Uruachic Camp property (a 15 km x 25 km region) which surrounds
the historic mining village of Uruachic in the mineral rich Sierra Madre
mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico.
