Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. has acquired 13 placer claims at the Halo zone for $60,000 CAD while providing an update on ongoing drilling that has intersected promising mineralization, signaling continued expansion of its exploration activities in British Columbia's historic gold district.

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. has acquired 13 cells of placer claims at the Halo zone, totaling 250 hectares, for $60,000 CAD. This purchase secures 100% of the placer rights in this area, expanding the company's holdings in a region with historical gold production. The acquisition occurs alongside active drilling operations, with drill hole QGQ25-28 currently at a depth of 715.00 meters and targeting northwest of the Halo zone.
The ongoing drilling has intersected intermittent quartz-carbonate veining, silicification, and disseminated and stringer pyrite mineralization, as documented in visual evidence available on the company's website at https://www.goldencariboo.com. This mineralization represents promising geological indicators within the exploration target area. The technical information regarding these findings has been reviewed and approved by Jean Pautler, a Professional Geoscientist registered with Engineers and Geoscientists BC, who serves as the qualified person under NI 43-101 standards.
These developments are situated within Golden Cariboo's Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, located in central British Columbia near Hixon. The property exists within a favorable geological corridor adjacent to significant thrust faults and shares similarities with established deposits along the same trend. The company's activities contribute to ongoing exploration in a district where placer mining has continued from historical operations to the present day, with over 101 placer gold creeks recorded along the trend from the Cariboo Hudson mine to the Quesnelle property.
The strategic acquisition of placer claims at the Halo zone represents a calculated expansion of Golden Cariboo's exploration footprint. By securing these additional claims, the company enhances its potential resource base while continuing systematic drilling to test geological targets. The intersection of mineralization in the active drill hole provides tangible data points that inform the geological understanding of the area and guide future exploration decisions.
