April 21, 2026 – TheNewswire – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) announces that drill hole QGQ25-29 was completed on April 19, 2026 at the Company’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine Property (the “Property”), located approximately 4 kilometers northeast of Hixon and 50 kilometers southeast of Prince George, British Columbia.
Drill hole QGQ26-29 was collared at the same drill pad as QGQ24-25 and was aligned to 170°/-72° dip to target internally modelled data adjacent the strike of the greenstone contact vertically below the Company’s earlier drilling. QGQ26-29 was drilled to a depth of about 660m (2,166 ft) and successfully intercepted numerous internally modelled zones and may have identified a new mineralized zone near the end of hole, about 600m (1,969 ft) vertically below the initial Discovery trench and QGQ24-17 collar. The end of QGQ26-29 is described as andesitic tuff with moderate sericite-silica alteration. Quartz-carbonate veinlets comprise approximately 3–5%, locally increasing to 10–12% and overall approximately 2% disseminated and replacement pyrite. Logging and sampling is in progress with assays from the top of hole currently pending. Maps are available at https://goldencariboo.com/news/
Assay results for drill hole QGQ25-28, collared about 80m north of QGQ26-29, are nearly completed in full and expected to be in hand within the week. Results will be released when they come available.
The Company’s Mineral Resource Estimate is in progress with validation of all databases in progress along with additional technical studies. The latest drill hole is planned to be included in the MRE along in addition to the Company’s 28 other NQ sized drill holes. The Company’s 29 drill holes are intended to be included in the Resource, along with up to nine historical drill holes from the Property.
Golden Cariboo’s President and CEO, J. Frank Callaghan, exclaims “We are very pleased with the early indications from drill hole QGQ26‑29. The successful interception of multiple target zones and the emergence of a possible new mineralized horizon half a kilometer deep highlights the momentum building across the Project. With additional assays expected shortly and our Mineral Resource Estimate progressing well, Golden Cariboo is steadily advancing toward a clearer picture of the Property’s long term potential.”

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. is rediscovering the Cariboo Gold Rush by proceeding with highly targeted drilling and trenching programs on its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property which is bordered by Osisko Development (NSE:ODV/TSXV:ODV), partly intertwined with them at the north end of the Cariboo Gold Project, and located along a favourable corridor adjacent to the Spanish and Eureka thrust

faults over a 94,899 hectare (234,501 acre) area. Historically, over 101 placer gold creeks on the 90-kilometer (56 mile) trend, from the Cariboo Hudson mine north to the Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property, have recorded production with successful placer mining continuing to this day.
Golden Cariboo’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property is 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of, and road accessible from, Hixon in central British Columbia. The Property includes the Quesnelle Quartz goldsilver deposit, which was discovered in 1865 and developed over a footprint of about 150m x 150m (< 6 acres) at the Main zone straddling Hixon Creek. Overall, the geological setting of the gold mineralization at the Company’s Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property shows strong similarities with the Spanish Mountain gold deposit, situated 120 km (75 miles) towards the southeast along the same geological trend. As a sediment-hosted vein (SHV) deposit, the Spanish Mountain deposit is considered to belong to the epizonal orogenic subclass of gold deposits which include some of the world’s largest deposits such as Muruntau, Uzbekistan and Bendigo, Australia.
