November 12, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) wishes to announce the acquisition of the Washburn Lateral District Lot on the Company’s mineral claims. The Washburn Lateral is a 20.0 ha claim immediately northeast from the historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine (see Figures 1 and 2 enclosed) and contains the undersurface mineral rights to the claim area. The collar for the discovery hole QGQ24-08 in the North Hixon zone returning 0.29 g/t Au over 263.10 m (see Company news release dated June 18 2024) lies approximately 43 m northwest of the boundary of the Washburn Lateral.

 

The District Lot was originally located in 1913 and once owned by the Quesnelle Quartz Mining Company Ltd. Despite its proximity to the historic Quesnelle Quartz Mine, the lot has seen very limited exploration in its history and has remained virtually untested by drilling. A possible lone drill hole on the lot appears to have been drilled in 1972 on the southern corner and totaled 91.44 m, intersecting younger, post mineral cover rocks (see Figure 2).

 

Golden Cariboo’s President and CEO Frank Callaghan stated: “Acquiring the Washburn Lateral is an important milestone for the Company, providing us with a key parcel of land within our multi-kilometer gold trend on our Property. With this District Lot now in hand, the Company is able to test our gold trend to the southeast from our discovery made in the North Hixon zone earlier this year.”

About Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.

 

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property which is almost fully encircled on 3 of 4 sides by Osisko Development (NSE-ODV/TSXV-ODV). Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90 km trend from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property have recorded production and successful placer mining continues to this day.

Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 km northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Project includes the Quesnelle Quartz gold-silver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 in conjunction with placer mining activities. Hixon Creek, which dissects the old workings, is a placer creek which has seen small-scale placer production since the mid 1860s.
