***In light of the September 10, 2024 news release, John Newell sent us an update***
Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. has just delivered an exciting milestone with its latest drill results from the Halo zone, signaling a game-changing breakthrough for the company. Drill hole QGQ24-13 intersected an impressive 136.51 meters of gold mineralization, averaging 1.46 g/t gold, including higher-grade sections such as 23.89 meters at 1.82 g/t gold and 22.73 meters at 3.18 g/t gold. Located just 830 meters from the historic Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine, this broad, near-surface discovery hints at the possibility of a major deposit. With the mineralized trend open in all directions, Golden Cariboo is positioned for substantial growth and further high-grade gold discoveries in one of British Columbia's most prolific gold districts.
These results underscore the significant potential of the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, making Golden Cariboo a standout exploration company in the Cariboo Gold Camp. As exploration intensifies, including additional assays and metallic screening, the company is poised to unlock further value from this exciting new find. In a market where a 1 g/t over 100 meters drill hole can attract major industry players and boost share prices, Golden Cariboo is set to capitalize on this momentum, offering investors a compelling opportunity in the junior gold sector.
The original article is below as is. . .
Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A0RLEP:WKN; 3TZ:FSE) stands out in the junior exploration market, particularly for investors seeking exposure to high-potential gold projects in historically rich mining regions.
The company's flagship asset, the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, located near Hixon, British Columbia, has been generating significant interest due to its strategic location, promising drill results, and the experienced management team behind it.

A Historic Property with Modern Potential
What's old is new again.
The Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property spans 3,814 hectares in one of Canada's most storied gold belts — the Barkerville Gold Belt. This region has been known for gold exploration since the 1860s and continues to yield significant discoveries. Golden Cariboo's property is nearly encircled by Osisko Development Corp., a major player in the area, further highlighting the strategic importance of this asset.
Historically, the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine has shown impressive grades, with a historic mine grade of 3.14 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 4.18 g/t silver (Ag) (BC Minfile, 2021).
The company's recent drilling efforts have confirmed the presence of gold-bearing sericite phyllite and carbonate-altered siltstone, with assays yielding up to 5.08 g/t Au. These results indicate the potential for a substantial and economically viable gold deposit.
Proven Management Team
One of Golden Cariboo's strongest assets is its management team, which has a proven track record of success in the mining industry. The team, led by the always enthusiastic and unflappable Frank Callahan, has already developed two mines and sold one to Osisko Development for $330 million. Their experience includes the development of Osisko's Cariboo Gold Project and the Bonanza Ledge Mine, both of which share geological similarities with the QGQ Mine Property.
This management expertise significantly de-risks the exploration process, as they have the knowledge and experience to navigate the challenges of bringing a project from discovery to production. Their involvement also signals confidence in the project, with insiders holding approximately 20% of the company's shares.
Active Exploration with Promising Results
Golden Cariboo is actively exploring its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, with Phase 1 drilling completed and Phase 2 well underway. The company is drilling approximately 100 meters per day, focusing on expanding the discovery of "Bonanza Ledge Mine" style mineralization — a type of high-grade gold mineralization that has proven to be highly profitable in the past.
Recent drill results have been encouraging, with broad intercepts of replacement gold mineralization, including 1.35 g/t Au over 41.0 meters and higher-grade zones of 4.65 g/t Au over 7.15 meters.
These results suggest that the property hosts a large and potentially lucrative gold system.
Strategic Financing and Tight Share Structure
Golden Cariboo recently announced a $2.5 million financing to expand its ongoing exploration efforts. This financing is critical for the company to continue drilling and advance its projects toward defining a resource.
The company's recent 3-for-1 share consolidation has resulted in a very tight share structure, with only 58.7 million shares fully diluted. This tight structure, combined with the recent financing, positions the company well for potential share price appreciation as exploration results continue to be released.
Takeover Potential
Given the strategic location of the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property, nearly surrounded by Osisko Development Corp., and the proven success of the management team, Golden Cariboo is a prime candidate for a takeover. Junior exploration companies with promising assets in prolific mining districts are often targeted by larger companies looking to expand their resource base.
The combination of a high-potential asset and a low market cap (currently around $7.5 million) makes Golden Cariboo an attractive acquisition target if they can prove up a resource that could further advance a surrounding miner.
Technicals
The Shares have corrected, largely we believe because of a recent financing, however they have formed a higher low or established a small uptrend, broken the downtrend line, and have formed higher technical targets at ever higher prices. Given the steep correction and a new uptrend, Golden Cariboo shares are a buy at current levels of ~$0.19 cents per share.
Conclusion
Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. offers junior exploration investors a compelling opportunity to gain exposure to a high-potential gold project in a historically rich mining district. With a proven management team, promising drill results, and strategic financing in place, the company is well-positioned to deliver significant value to its shareholders.
As exploration progresses and more results are released, Golden Cariboo could see substantial upside, making it a stock to watch closely in the junior exploration space.
Therefore, Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is a Buy.
