Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: GNG)(PINK SHEETS:
GGTH-F) -
HIGHLIGHTS
- Six chip samples averaged 7.9 g/t gold & 919 g/t
silver.
- The highest gold grade is 21.3 g/t and the highest silver
2,210 g/t.
- Previous chip-samples of the same vein assayed 24.7 g/t gold
& 84.4 g/t silver over 1.6m width.
- A 12th new-vein sample has returned 9.1 g/t gold & 919.5
g/t silver, bringing in the total number of veins to twelve.
Golden Goliath is pleased with the latest work progress on its
Filo de Oro Target area which has returned exceptionally high grade
gold and silver values (please see the table of assays below). The
first six assays in the table below come from the same working,
called Cata 3, referred to in the Company's Novemebr 30th press
release, confirming the high grade nature of the structures. This
high gold grade mineralization is hosted in the Los Hilos vein
system, with structures trending 70 degrees azimuth cross cut by
structures with 330 degrees azimuth. These high grade structures
are surrounded by a low grade gold bulk-tonnage target at Filo de
Oro. Please see figure below for the location of the samples.

New Vein Discovery:
In addition to the high grade gold silver mineralized veins in
Filo de Oro target, the company is equally encouraged by finding a
new vein, called Silicosa, bringing in the total number of known
silver and gold bearing veins on the Las Bolas property to 12. The
Company believes that the potential for more of these veins to be
found on the property is excellent. A chip-sample across the new
vein (sample 194199) assayed 9.1 g/t gold & 919.5 g/t silver
over 1.1m width. The new vein lies within the Las Bolas-Gambusino
mineralized trend and is striking 70 degrees azimuth. A previous
grab sample from the vein returned 3.94 g/t gold and 647 g/t
silver. The Silicosa vein is 390 metres northwest of the Los Hilos
vein system and is projected to intersect Filo de Oro at right
angle.
Golden Goliath's president Paul Sorbara, P.Geo commented: "We
are very pleased with our work progress at Las Bolas in general and
Filo de Oro in particular, where we are finding exceptionally high
grade gold-silver veins within an area of disseminated
mineralization, which offers the possibility of a bulk minable
situation. Our focus is currently detailed litholgical, structural
and alteration mapping of the area and its old workings, some of
which are very extensive, combined with detailed sampling. We want
to have as much information as possible about Filo de Oro before we
select final targets for the next drill program. We are scheduling
to resume work on Las Bolas, including the Filo de Oro target,
after the Christmas break, in the New Year."
Las Bolas Veins:
In addition to the 12th newly found vein, Silicosa, the recently
submitted NI 43-101 report on Sedar lists the other 11 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.
Most of the aforementioned veins have been traced over 1000m and
contain numerous exploration pits, shafts, sub-levels & tunnels
up to 400m in length, demonstrating that mineralization is
extensive. These vein systems are open in all three directions with
known mineralization extending to depth.
Filo de Oro Zone
A 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 (Las Bolas-Gambusino, Frijolar
and El Corazon trends). This cross cutting trend contains veins
grading in the range of 0.43 g/t gold, 30 g/t silver over 1.1m to
78.1 g/t gold, 204 g/t silver 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.
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). Please visit the
company's updated website

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.
