(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:

  • i) Cash payment of US$1,000,000 for 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces.

  • ii) An additional cash payment of US$1.00 for every gold equivalent ounce over 2,000,000 gold equivalent ounces.

  • iii) 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.

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 Consideration Warrant 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 was applied against the March 31, 2020 cash property payments and partial payment against the March 31, 2021 cash payment under the Options.

On December 29, 2020, the Company amended terms for its Luckystrike property. All future cash property payments totalling $719,313, plus $14,000,000 of minimum work commitments and a NI 43-101 technical report which would include any resources calculation of gold equivalent minerals delivered by December 31, 2027 to earn 100% of the property have been removed entirely. In its place, the Company has issued 1,300,000 shares (valued at $559,000) and 1,300,000 warrants exercisable at a price of $0.22 for a period of 60 months to immediately earn a 49% interest in the property. To earn 100%, Goliath will need to spend a minimum of $5,000,000 in drilling on or before December 31, 2029 and deliver a NI 43-101 technical report which would include any resources calculation of gold equivalent minerals by December 31, 2030. In addition, the 1% NSR buy back provision date has been moved from December 31, 2027 to December 31, 2029.

The grant date fair value of the 1,300,000 warrants was estimated as $534,300 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate - 0.41%; expected volatility - 166% which is based on the historical volatility; expected dividend yield - nil; share price of $0.43 and expected life - 5 years.

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 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Properties

Golddigger Property

(59,646 acres or 239 square-kilometers) and is in the world class geological setting of the Eskay Rift within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia and within 2 kilometers of the ‘Red Line’ that is host to multiple world class deposits. The Surebet Zone is in an excellent location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power.

Additional infrastructure in the area include the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 8 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the East of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the coast and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.).

Surebet is characterized by a series of NW-SE trending structures that occur within a package of Hazelton Group sediments underlain by Hazelton volcanics and are within a few kilometers of the Red Line. All 24 diamond drill holes completed in 2021 intersected significant intervals of Au-Ag polymetallic mineralization over 1 km of strike, 1.1 km down-dip and 600 meters of vertical relief. Drill hole GD-21-03 intersected 6.37 gpt AuEq (4.46 gpt Au and 122.13 gpt Ag) over 35.72 meters and drill hole GD-21-05 intersected 12.6 gpt AuEq (8.06 gpt Au and 313.66 gpt Ag) over 6.38 meters. The average grade and width from all 24 holes* assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87 meters, respectively.

Mineralization within the Surebet Zone consists of structurally controlled zones of massive sulphide containing Galena, Sphalerite, Pyrite and Pyrrhotite . 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 within intrusive rocks.

Geology Description:

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.

2021 & 2022 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 7.58 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) based on

Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IF MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2022

channel samples taken and remains open. It also has 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of inferred down dip that ends in a high-grade goldsilver 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 mineralized up to 43.5 meters wide.

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 were followed 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 14 more targets were planned to be tested in the 2021 maiden drill program.

In 2021, Goliath completed its maiden drill campaign for a total of 5,332 meters in 24 holes.100% of all 24 holes intercepted significant widths of quartz-sulphides veining of the Surebet Zone as well extending the known system over 1,100 meters down dip to the west. This confirmed the robust nature of this gold-silver system that remains open both along strike and to depth. Diamond drill holes GD21001 to GD21-003 were assayed and reported on August 30, 2021. All 24 diamond drill holes completed in 2021 intersected significant intervals of Au-Ag polymetallic mineralization over 1 km of strike, 1.1 km down-dip and 600 meters of vertical relief. Drill hole GD-2103 intersected 6.37 gpt AuEq (4.46 gpt Au and 122.13 gpt Ag) over 35.72 meters and drill hole GD-21-05 intersected 12.6 gpt AuEq (8.06 gpt Au and 313.66 gpt Ag) over 6.38 meters. The average grade and width from all 24 holes assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87 meters, respectively (true width to be determined).

PMC’s metallurgical study performed on a composite sample of combined core from 16 diamond drill holes completed in 2021 demonstrated that a grinding mesh of 150 microns would recover 98.2 % of the gold inclusive of a 38.1 % recovery from simply gravity without the need of acid leaching making for environmentally friendly and amenable for low-cost mining methods

In 2022, the Company completed its second pass drill campaign totaling 26,321 meters for a total of 86 drill holes (assays are pending on the balance of 43holes). To date, classic Surebet Zone mineralization and textures including considerable amounts of galena and sphalerite has been observed in 92 drill holes (68 drill holes from 2022 and 24 drill holes from 2021) from 20 pads widely spaced within an area of 1.6 square kilometers that remains open. The 68 drill holes within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone area intersected broad intervals of mineralization containing galena, sphalerite and pyrrhotite, including visible gold reported in two holes 300 meters apart. These drill intercepts visually mirror with the large majority greatly exceeding the visual intercepts from the 24 holes drilled during 2021 which contained the same mineralization (galena, sphalerite, pyrrhotite) and textures (quartz breccia/stockwork/vein) that on average assayed 6.29 gpt AuEq (4.35 gpt Au and 104.94 gpt Ag) over 5.87 meters*.

Goliath worked closely with independent advisors and consultants including Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Dr. Simon Dominy, Colorado School of Mines and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. in the early planning and designing of the 2022 drill program focussed on infill drilling pierce points that could be used for a future maiden inferred resource estimate within the 1.6 square kilometer mineralized area of the Surebet Zone contingent on assay results.

On November 7, 2022 the Company announced its first batch of assays from the 2022 drill campaign that included high-grade gold mineralization in 96% or 27 of 28 holes drilled within Surebet Zone’s 1.6 square kilometer area. 98% or 51 of 52 of widely spaced drill holes assayed to date (24 in 2021 and 27 in 2022) within the Surebet Zone have intersected broad high-grade intervals of gold-silver mineralization. Drill highlights are: Hole GD-22-58 collared from South Cliff Stepout Pad intercepted high-grade gold mineralization containing 24.80 gpt AuEq (22.03 gpt Au and 127.62 gpt Ag) over 11.00 meters including 38.70 gpt AuEq (34.42 gpt Au and 197.45 gpt Ag) over 7.00 meters and 44.47 gpt AuEq (39.60 gpt Au and 224.10 gpt Ag) over 6.07 meters and; Hole GD-22-49 collared from Pad A intersected high-grade gold mineralization containing 21.30 gpt AuEq (20.46 gpt Au and 40.06 gpt Ag) over 7.77 meters,

  • 6 -

Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IF MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2022

including 27.55 gpt AuEq (26.47 gpt Au and 51.551 gpt Ag) over 6.00 meters. Additional high-grade gold-mineralized intervals above the main Surebet Zone in this hole include 6.93 gpt AuEq (6.74 gpt Au and 7.46 gpt Ag) over 4.00 meters and 3.37 gpt AuEq (3.27 gpt Au and 2.79 gpt Ag) over 4.00 meters*.

The weighted average width* and grade of the Surebet Zone when combined with the 2021 and 2022 results totaling 53 holes (assays still pending on 43 holes) are:

Interval* Au (gpt) Ag (gpt) Cu (%) Pb (%) Zn (%) AuEq (gpt)
5.64 4.75 75.8 0.017 0.43 0.44 6.14

* Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are not known. AuEq metal values are calculated using: Au 1644.08 USD/oz, Ag 19.23 USD/oz, Cu 3.47 USD/lbs, Pb 1870.50 USD/ton and Zn 2882.50 USD/ton on October 28, 2022. There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath’s project is located such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. (Bothell, Washington), dated May 29, 2020. Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with the Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath’s Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Assays are pending for the balance of 43 additional holes to be released in two separate batches from pads 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 17, Midwest, West of NE Fault and G which are all located within the 1.6 square kilometer Surebet Zone that remains open. Once all 2022 assays have been received, interpreted and announced, the Company will determine the best course of action for its 2023 exploration program.

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:

  • Discovery, mapping and collection of all samples was 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).

Future Exploration & Drilling Recommended:

The focus and recommendations for a potential 2023 exploration program at the Lorne Creek Au-Cu-Mo Porphyry will be determined in calendar Q1 2023.

Goliath’s multi-year permit has been amended to include extensive diamond drilling at both the Lorne Creek Porphyry and Gold Source discoveries.

Goliath Resources Limited TSXV: GOT OTCQB: GOTRF FSE: B4IF MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS September 30, 2022

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, 437,500 shares and 437,500 warrants in Juggernaut Exploration Ltd. from them optioning the Goldstandard and Goldstar property.

The properties are:

  • Goldcrest

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 exploration 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.

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 may 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.
