Golden Cariboo Resources – 29 Drill Holes Will Feed Into The Upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate At The Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Project

Apr 6, 2026
Frank Callaghan, President and CEO of Golden Cariboo Resources, an exploration executive with a track record in the Cariboo district. He discusses broad bulk-tonnage gold mineralization, 28 successful drill holes and a 29th about to start. Talks step-out drilling extending strike length, fast photon assaying for quick results, and plans to compile a maiden resource estimate soon.

Episode notes
INSIGHT

Bulk Tonnage Deposit Potential

  • Golden Cariboo targets large bulk-tonnage disseminated gold systems with sub-gram grades over very wide widths rather than narrow veins.
  • Frank Callaghan compares the geology to Malartic and Muruntau and highlights 20–500m+ intercepts averaging ~0.6–0.9 g/t gold as economically meaningful for open-pit scale mining.
INSIGHT

Consistent Stepout Success

  • Every one of the first 28 holes hit broad mineralization, with stepouts of ~100m producing consistent >100m intercepts and some up to ~485m at ~0.59 g/t.
  • Hole QGQ25-28 ended in mineralization ~12m from a neighbor boundary and extended mineralization ~283m beyond hole 25-25.
ADVICE

Use Photon Assays For Fast Turnaround

  • Use photon (XRF/portable atomic) assays to get near-immediate assay turnaround and incorporate new holes into resource modelling quickly.
  • Golden Cariboo gets results in ~2–3 days from a nearby lab, letting hole 29 potentially be added to the maiden resource.
