February 7, 2024 – TheNewswire -Vancouver, Canada –Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN-A0RLEP) announces its Notice of Work application to expand mineral exploration activities at the Company’s 100% owned Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Project (“QGQ Project”) near Hixon, British Columbia has been approved.

The Company’s mineral exploration permit has been authorized for an additional five years. The exploration team will first target the newly discovered replacement mineralization and high-grade gold bearing veins between and adjacent to the Main zone and the new discovery of the Halo zone (See News Release dated May 18, 2023), which is open along strike and at depth. The approved permit includes up to 270 surface diamond drill holes on 54 drill pads as well as up to 5.7 km of trenching, 7.86 km of trail construction and 10 line km of IP geophysical surveying. Additional exploration activities may include soil sampling, self-potential geophysical surveying, bedrock mapping and regional prospecting activities.

Company President and CEO, Mr. J. Frank Callaghan commented “We’re excited to advance an extensive multi-phase exploration program at the Company’s QGQ Project. The Company acquired the project due to its historic production, presence of a greenstone contact and its potential to host similar mineralization to the Bonanza Ledge Mine, which our team originally discovered and put into production at Osisko Development’s Cariboo Gold Project. After Golden Cariboo’s team put the Bonanza Ledge Mine into production and further developed the Cariboo Gold Project, it was acquired by Osisko Royalties for $330 million and is now owned and operated by Osisko Development. We feel that there is a similar opportunity to repeat our achievements at the QGQ Project and fundamentally believe that you make a mine, you don’t find one.”
