The company recovered the core from W22-02, which had already been logged and photographed, and transported it to a facility in Sudbury for reassembly.

The program’s additional three drill holes were not in the core facility and were unaffected by the fire.

“We are very thankful that no one was injured in the fire and that we had finished logging and photographing W22-02 prior to the fire,” stated Paul Sorbara, Golden Goliath’s CEO. “While any results from that hole will have an asterisk beside them, due to the nature of the hole as a preliminary test, I am sure we will be able to reassemble enough of the hole to be confident of the results.”

Golden Goliath Resources is focused on exploring and developing the gold and silver potential of Ontario’s Red Lake District. The company also holds a 100-per-cent interest in the San Timoteo Property in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains, as well as NSR royalties on several other nearby properties.

Golden Goliath (GNG) is unchanged, trading at $0.025 per share as of 11:59 am ET.
