(a) Conditions of the Options are as follows:
Goliath must elect by April 1 of each subsequent year, to either carry out an exploration program which will result in it incurring the prescribed exploration expenses for that year by December 15 of that year or terminate the Options. If Goliath makes an election by April 1 and subsequently fails to raise the required funds by May 31 of that year, then the Option may be terminated by the Optionors, or an amount equal to the prescribed exploration budget will become a debt of Goliath, payable to the Optionors on March 31 of the following year.
Each of the four option agreements require Goliath to pay “resource bonuses” to the Optionors in cash and shares as and when NI 43 ‑ 101 mineral reserves (proven and probable) and mineral resources (measured and indicated) on the properties collectively meet the following equivalent of ounces of gold:
Cash payment of US$1,000,000 for 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces.
An additional cash payment of US$1.00 for every gold equivalent ounce over 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces. Issuance of 10,000,000 common shares of Goliath for 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces.
In the event of termination of the Options, Goliath must perform and pay for all required reclamation work on the property within 24 months of termination and must maintain the property in good standing for a minimum of 12 months after termination. If Goliath fails to fulfill its obligations, it will be indebted to the Optionors for an amount equal to 150% of the costs which it would have incurred to fulfill its obligations.
Any claims acquired by Goliath within a 20 kilometre area of interest or contiguous to those claims acquired, will become part of the property and subject to the NSR.
Earning exclusive right of first refusals (ROFRs) on each of the DSM Syndicate’s Gold Star and Gold Crest properties which expired March 30, 2020.
(b) The amendment on October 30, 2018 was subject to the following conditions:
Completing a financing of at least $1,500,000 of net proceeds (the “Financing Proceeds”) prior to March 30, 2019 (completed); Providing $300,000 from the Financing Proceeds for the exploration of the J2 Syndicate’s Bullion and/or Eldorado properties, and/or the DSM Syndicate’s Gold Crest, Gold Standard and/or Gold Star properties (Goliath already owns a 10% interest in the DSM Syndicate); and
Executing an agreement with the J2 Syndicate and the DSM Syndicate with respect to the fulfillment of the $300,000 funding obligation and the grant of the ROFR’s mentioned above prior to November 15, 2018 (executed on November 15, 2018).
(c) On March 3, 2020, the Company terminated the property option agreements to acquire the Bingo and Copperhead properties.
(d) On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into two separate amendment agreements (the "Amendments") with the Optionors, whereby the parties have agreed to further amend the terms of Goliath's Options on the Golddigger property and Luckystrike property. The main terms of the Amendments are as follows:
- 3 -
Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2020
Goliath will deposit, on/or before April 29, 2020, $200,000 with the J2 Syndicate from the sale and distribution of shares, warrants ‑ and/or other securities of the Goliath by way of a private placement (completed see note 10(b)(vi)), to be spent on the Golddigger property.
Goliath will commit to deposit a total of $800,000 to be spent on or before March 31, 2021 on the Luckystrike and/or Golddigger properties;
If Goliath incurs aggregate exploration expenses between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2023 of $6,000,000 on each Property and delivers a NI 43 ‑ 101 technical report which includes a resource calculation of gold equivalent mineral reserves (proven and probable) and gold equivalent mineral resources (measured, indicated and inferred categories) on the properties by December 31, 2024; then Goliath can earn an initial 49% interest in the Properties; and
If Goliath incurs aggregate exploration expenses between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2026 of at least $8,000,000 on each ‑ property and delivers a NI 43 101 technical report which includes a resource calculation of gold equivalent mineral reserves (proven and probable) and gold equivalent mineral resources (measured, indicated and inferred categories) on the Property by December 31, 2027 Goliath will own the remaining 51% interest in the Property, representing a 100% ownership interest in the Property subject to the royalties reserved to the Optionors.
The Amendments are subject to:
Goliath issuing to the Optionors a total of 3,900,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit ( the “Consideration Units”). Each Consideration Unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a "Consideration Warrant") with each Consideration Warrant exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. On April 29, 2020, the Company issued the 3,900,000 Consideration Units to members of the J2 Syndicate. The fair value of the 3,900,000 warrants was ‑ estimated as $186,617 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used: risk ‑ free interest rate ‑ 0.41%; expected volatility ‑ 175% which is based on the historical volatility of the Company's shares; expected ‑ ‑ dividend yield nil; share price of $0.05 and expected life 5 years.
The value of the Consideration Units shall be applied against certain cash property payments required under the Options.
All excess exploration expenses incurred in the aggregate on the J2 Syndicate’s optioned properties from any year, may be carried forward to fulfill Goliath’s exploration expenditure commitments in future years. Goliath has currently exceeded its minimum exploration commitments for 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Properties
Lucky Strike Property
The property is 31,511 hectares located in the Ominica and Skeena Mining Divisions in British Columbia. It has logging road access, is only 3 km to a major highway & power, and 40 kilometres north by Highway of major infrastructure in Terrace, BC.
Goliath discovered a large Au-Cu-Mo porphyry system in the latter part of 2018. The Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Porphyry had its inaugural exploratory drilling program in August 2019 to test the mineralization to depth. Three holes were drilled for a total of 1741 metres and drill hole LS-19-01 intersected 20.7 meters of 0.39 g/t AuEq, including 3.7m of 1.18 g/t AuEq near surface and Drill hole LS-19-02 intersected 45m of 0.14 g/t Au, 1.35 g/t Ag and 0.05% Cu near surface. The drilling suggest that all three holes intersected a pyritic alteration zone in the porphyry system adjacent to the ore zone (see Lowell & Guilbert, 1970); system remains open. Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Highlights include:
- 4 -
Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2020
-
Discovery, mapping and collection of all samples done by an independent porphyry expert who specializes in the area;
-
It is located at the headwaters of the most prolific placer creek in the entire district with a calculated historical production of 13,271 troy ounces of placer gold;
-
The Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Porphyry is defined by a large 1200 by 700 metre alteration system at surface, that is reflected by a quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP) core and coincident with Au-Cu-Mo chalcopyrite stockwork with typical porphyry system grades;
-
The porphyry centre outcrops are exposed at surface and is where the samples were taken from in situ bedrock;
-
There are historic polymetallic porphyry veins in Lorne Creek itself; and
-
The Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Porphyry is unique, as it is located within a larger known porphyry belt this primarily only Cu-Mo.
Gold Source Breccia Discovery
-
The quartz breccia at the Gold Source Zone occurs as a structural corridor, outcropping locally along strike for 1500 metres by 200 metres wide and remains open. It is located at the SE corner of the Lucky Strike Property and has no historical drilling as a new discovery by Goliath.
-
Assay highlights include:
-
2017 Grab – Talus 96.80 g/t Au and 78.10 g/t Ag
-
2018 Grab – Talus 44.40 g/t Au and 39.30 g/t Ag
-
2018 Chip – Over 2 metres 22.30 g/t Au and 261.0 g/t Ag
The Gold Source Zone is an epithermal, milky quartz hydrothermal breccia and sheeted vein corridor that extends more than 1500 metres along an E-W trend. The corridor is over 200 metres wide and remains open. The trend is highly oxidized with primary sulphide contents ranging typically between 1-5% that are now represented by limonitic voids and boxworks. A total of 4.45 metres of channel sampling was completed; in addition, 13 chips samples and 28 grab samples were taken.
Hazelton and Quock Formation rocks were mapped at the Kingpin Zone along the far southern part of the property confirming the area has good potential for Eskay Creek style mineralization.
Target Minerals:
The economic target at Lucky Strike is gold, copper and molybdenum within a porphyry system and associated skarn polymetallic veins and gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc within the hydrothermal breccia zone.
Geology Description:
The Lucky Strike property is underlain by Upper Jurassic siliciclastic sedimentary rocks of the Bowser Lake group, locally intruded by Late Cretaceous granite to tonalite stocks. Structurally, the Lucky Strike property resides with the Skeena Arch, a major transverse paleogeographic high in central Stikinia, associated with Eocene plutonism. In arc terranes, transverse structures are considered preferential hosts for porphyry intrusions and mineralization.
Historic Placer Mining
The Lorne Creek Porphyry drill target at the Lucky Strike Property is situated at the headwaters of the most prolific placer creek in the entire district; Lauren Creek drains eastward. Placer gold was recovered from Lorne which had a calculated production of 13,271 troy ounces reported from the period of 1886 to 1940. The source of the placer gold is believed to be attributed to erosion of local auriferous quartz veins in the surrounding bedrock including sedimentary rocks and granodiorite intrusions (see NI 43-101 filed on Sedar).

Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2020
Future Exploration & Drilling Recommended:
The focus and recommendations for the 2021 exploration program at the Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Porphyry will be determined in calendar Q1 2021.
Goliath’s multi-year permit has been amended to include extensive diamond drilling at both the Lorne Creek Porphyry and Gold Source discoveries.
Copperhead Property
Effective March 3, 2020, the Company terminated its property option agreement to acquire the Copperhead Property.
Bingo Property
Effective March 3, 2020, the Company terminated its property option agreement to acquire the Bingo Property.
Golddigger Property
The Golddigger property covers 17,290 hectares and is located on tide water 30 kilometers south east of Stewart BC in the Golden Triangle and only 7km West of the Dolly Varden Mine access road providing for cost effective exploration.
The newly discovered Surebet Zone is located ~8 kilometers S.W. of Auryn Resources’ Homestake Ridge property which is a highgrade gold-silver deposit that contains 982,700 oz of gold @ 4.99 g/t gold and 19,600,000 oz of silver @ 97.7 g/t silver, with drill intercepts of up to 73 meters of 21 g/t gold and 12 g/t silver (source – Auryn Resources’ PEA & Website).
The Surebet Zone is characterized by a series of NW-SE trending faults that occurs within a package of highly folded and faulted Hazelton group sediments. Lidar imagery, drone imagery, and field observations have identified several additional paralleling faults within close proximity to the newly discovered Surebet Zone. Geochemical analyses confirmed high-grade gold-silver polymetallic mineralization within these structures that will be followed up on in late August and early September 2020.
Mineralization within the Surebet Zone consists of structurally controlled zones of massive sulphide containing Galena, Sphalerite and Pyrite. These lenses occur within broad alteration halos of silica flooded sediments which also contain polymetallic mineralization.
The Surebet Zone is on the eastern side of the Golddigger property and is underlain by coarse clastic sedimentary rocks of the Stuhini Group that are unconformably overlain by inter-fingered volcanics as well as sedimentary rocks of the Hazelton Group. This contact is known as the ‘Red Line’ and thought to be a key marker in the Golden Triangle when exploring for significant mineralizing systems. The Surebet Zone is located within the Hazelton group sedimentary rocks.
The Golddigger property lies within the Stikine Volcanic Arc, including the Eskay Rift and Red Line. Structurally controlled, gold and silver bearing mineralization in these stratabound horizons is preferentially delineated in a NW-SE orientation. Target Minerals:
The economic target at Golddigger is gold and silver associated with quartz veins in intrusive rocks.
Geology Description:
- 6 -
Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2020
The Golddigger Property is underlain mainly by Eocene age granitic rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Jurassic age andesitic volcanics and sediments of the Hazelton Group occur on the east side of the property. Polymetallic quartz veins in silicified granitic rocks occur widely on the property.
2020 Results
Multiple high-grade polymetallic gold-silver targets have been identified along 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of strike, a half a kilometer (500 meters) of vertical relief which has an average true width of 9.33 meters assaying 10.66 gpt gold equivalent (AuEq) and 7.58 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) based on channel samples taken and remains open. It also has 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of inferred down dip that ends in a 40.75 gpt equivalent (AuEq) grab sample that was taken from bedrock. The high-grade polymetallic gold-silver mineralization is contained within a broad alteration halo of strongly silicified Hazelton Group sediments up to 43.5 meters wide containing mineralization assaying less than 0.5 gpt AuEq.
Future Exploration & Recommendations:
Lidar imagery, drone imagery, and field observations have identified several additional paralleling faults within close proximity to the newly discovered Surebet Zone. Geochemical analyses confirmed high-grade gold-silver polymetallic mineralization within these structures that werefollowed up on in August and September 2020. A series of extensive channel cuts were taken to test the dissemination of mineralization with the goal of delineating bedrock drill ready targets for 2021. These drill ready targets are contained within a shear zone that is exposed at surface for 1 kilometer (1000 meters) where 10 are planned to be tested in the inaugural 2021 drill program.
DSM Syndicate
The Company purchased a 10% interest in the DSM Syndicate in 2017. This private company was formed to pool geological knowledge and expertise relating to certain properties identified in an area in northwestern British Columbia. It has staked a total of six properties and is marketing these properties with the intention to option or sell the interests. This would provide Goliath with 10% of all cash and/or shares when any transactions are completed. To date, Goliath has received a total of $25,000 in cash, 250,000 shares and 250,000 warrants in Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. from them optioning the Goldstandard property.
The properties are:
-

Nelligan Project – Quebec (Acquisition completed August 10, 2020)
Goliath completed the acquisition of six (6) significant mineral claim blocks (the “Claims”) totalling 391 mineral claims for 340km2, now under Goliath’s Nelligan East Project and Nelligan West Project (the “Nelligan Projects” or the “Projects”) (see news July 9, 2020) . The Projects are located in the northeastern Chibougamau-Chapais Mining Camp of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Region is known for its historic gold and copper production, and has recently seen an increase in mineral explorati on following the discovery of new gold mineralization, such as IAMGOLD/TomaGold with the Monster Lake (1.11 million tonnes grading 12.14 g/t gold for 433,000 ounces of gold; IAMGOLD, 2018) and IAMGOLD/Vanstar with the Nelligan gold deposits.
- 7 -
Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2020
Over 200M ounces of gold has been extracted from the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Goliath’s Nelligan Project (East and West Claim Blocks) is predicated on the easterly and westerly extensions of the prospective gold-bearing Guercheville Deformation Zone and its subsidiary faults located at the south end of the Chapais-Chibougamau Mining Camp. The Break hosts a number of gold deposits and occurrences as well as one past producing mine.
Target Minerals:
The economic target at Nelligan is gold and silver.
Geology Description:
The Camp hosts east-west trending mafic volcanics or basalts, felsic volcanics or pyroclastics and volcaniclastics, sedimentary rocks and major intrusive complexes, all intruded by gabbro sills and dykes. The sedimentary rocks and gabbros hosts the Nelligan-style of mineralization (the “Nelligan Trend”). Major faults intersect all rock types and consists of four (4) groups based on their direction: east-west, southeast, northeast and north-northeast trending faults. The east-west and northeast-southwest trending Break cuts the Nelligan Project. The Break is similar to the Larder-Cadillac and Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone where most of the gold mineralization occurs in the southern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Break reaches up to 1 km wide and is characterized by shearing and carbonate-sericite-rich alteration.
Future Exploration & Recommendations:
The Stage 1 Program follows an initial digital compilation and synthesis of all the historic work on the Nelligan Project and will now be followed up with field reconnaissance work that will consist of prospecting, geological mapping, rock sampling and analysis. The six (6) claim blocks forming the Projects will be covered by an airborne magnetic and EM survey to complement earlier government and company airborne surveys done in the area. The geophysical surveys will be merged into a single database along with any ground geophysical surveys, especially IP, and the prospecting data for eventual drill target identification.
