Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (CSE: GCC | OTC:GCCFF | WKN:A402CQ | FSE:3TZ) has announced that its 2025 drill programne is now underway at the company’s flagship Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, located approximately 4km northeast of Hixon, central British Columbia, Canada.
This marks a significant operational milestone as drilling crews and equipment are fully mobilized to execute a comprehensive diamond drilling programme designed to delineate and expand high-potential gold targets across the property.
Initially, the company is completing surface drill hole QGQ24-21 which is located 80m WSW of QGQ24-20, which encountered significant gold grades found, in part, to be associated with a major fault along a northwesterly striking contact between the mafic to intermediate volcanic host rocks (greenstones) and a black argillite unit.
QGQ24-20 returned 137.17m of 1.45g/t gold and 9.77g/t silver, including 4.29m of 16.35g/t gold and 9.09g/t silver and including 2.0m of 6.36g/t gold and 957.0g/t silver. Strong lithologic similarities have been noted between the top of hole QGQ24-20 and the deepest section drilled in QGQ24-21 so far. Assay results are pending for the top 220.2mof QGQ24-21.
“We are excited to launch our 2025 drill programme and build on the encouraging results from previous exploration campaigns,” said J. Frank Callaghan, president & CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources. “Our programme strategically targets extensions of established zones—such as the Halo and North Hixon areas—while also exploring new avenues identified through our integrated geological and geospatial analyses. This phase of exploration and development is pivotal in our ongoing mission to reveal the remarkable and yet-untapped potential of the Cariboo Gold District.”
Additionally, the current drill programme forms a core component of Golden Cariboo’s broader exploration strategy, which combines historical data with state-of-the-art surveying and mapping techniques. Surface drill holes are being collared to systematically test key targets where indications of higher-grade mineralization have been recently recorded. The company anticipates that forthcoming assay results and real-time field assessments will guide the expansion of drilling activities into additional high-priority areas over this season.
