Gold Co. Kicks Off Fall Drilling in BC Mining District

By Ron Wortel / December 10, 2025 / www.theaureport.com / Article Link

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A402CQ:WKN; 3TZ:FSE), with 700% potential upside, aims to extend the known strike of the Halo and Main zones at its Quesnelle quartz gold project in the Cariboo Mining District, noted a Couloir Capital report.

Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (GCC:CSE; GCCFF:OTC; A402CQ:WKN; 3TZ:FSE) commenced an expanded fall 2025 drill program at its Quesnelle gold quartz project in central British Columbia's (B.C.'s) Cariboo Mining District and to enhance execution of it, hired two experienced geologists, reported Couloir Capital's Analyst Ron Wortel and its research team in a Nov. 29 research note.

"The campaign is expected to broaden the footprint of existing gold-bearing zones and define new drill-ready targets," Wortel wrote. "The campaign's results will play a central role in determining follow-up drilling priorities and could represent a key catalyst for reassessing the longer-term development potential of the project."

700% Upside Potential

Golden Cariboo's share price was about CA$0.05 per share (CA$0.05/share) at the time of Wortel's report, the analyst noted. GCC is trading at a significant discount to the peer group of explorers active in well-established B.C. gold camps. The market caps of these companies are between about CA$6 million (CA$6M) and CA$40 million-plus, whereas Golden Cariboo's market cap is about CA$5.3M (106.9 million [106.9M] shares outstanding).

Given the strong indications of scale potential at Halo and multiple additional targets on the Quesnelle property, Couloir believes Golden Cariboo should be in the upper end of the range. Thus, Couloir's fair value target price on the Canadian junior miner is CA$0.40/share.

The difference between this target and GCC's current price implies a potential return of 700%.

Golden Cariboo remains a Buy.

Aim: Extend Known Strike

With the in-progress surface drill program at Quesnelle, Golden Cariboo is targeting priority sites defined through prior exploration work, including trenching, sampling, and surface mapping, reported Wortel.

The company aims to extend the known strike of the Halo and Main zones to roughly 2 kilometers (2 km) from about 600 meters (600m). Success in this regard would increase the likelihood that the mineralized system at Quesnelle is of district style and scale. This, in turn, could result in a valuation rerating.

Cashed Up For Drilling

Prior to starting the drill program, Wortel noted, Golden Cariboo raised CA$1.5M in equity funding. It will use the funds not only to advance the 2-km Halo-Main corridor expansion but also to accelerate work in emerging parallel trends.

Before the capital raise, at the end of Q3/25 (Sept. 30), the company had CA$0.73M in cash and CA$1M in working capital. It has an estimated 8.53M options and 53.11M warrants, all out of the money.

KM Uno Discovery

In early September, Cariboo discovered the KM Uno zone at Quesnelle, a derisking and value-enhancing event, reported Wortel. Initial bedrock sampling from volcanic subcrop and angular float material there returned encouraging gold and silver results, up to 1.1 grams per ton gold (1.1 g/t Au) and 8 g/t silver (Ag). The zone contains consistent gold-silver-arsenic soil anomalies and the same geophysical features as the mineralization at Halo. The discovery also means that Quesnelle contains multiple mineralized zones.

"With KM Uno now identified, Golden Cariboo evolves from a single-zone story into a multizone gold-silver system," wrote Wortel.

Parallel Mineralized Structures

The analyst pointed out that there are several parallel mineralized structures at Quesnelle. Halo sits between two of them, Sunset to the west and KM Uno to the southeast. This trio directly correlates to "previously mapped gold-silver-arsenic soil anomalies, airborne resistivity highs and ground conductivity features, suggesting a district-scale gold system," Wortel wrote.

Halo has shown near-surface mineralization. Highlight hole QGQ24-13 intersected 1.77 g/t Au over 136.51m. Follow-up hole QGQ24-20 showed 0.56 g/t Au over 475.4m, including 1.06 g/t Au over 236.88m.

Sunset has indicated the presence of mineralization, including possible extensions toward historically producing areas like the Hixon Creek Placer.

The company is testing possible northern extensions of the mineralized system with its work at Buckley Creek, 1 km north-northwest of the Halo discovery hole and 2 km north of the Main zone shaft.

What to Watch For

Wortel presented four potential catalysts for Golden Cariboo:

1) Positive results from the current drill program.

2) Generation of additional high-priority targets and discovery success in the broader land package.

3) Additional drilling that confirms and extends mineral continuity at Halo.

4) Financing-related news that materially changes the explorer's capital structure.
