April 29, 2025 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, Canada – Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) (CSE:GCC) (OTC:GCCFF) (WKN:A402CQ) (FSE:3TZ) is announcing its plans to engage ALS Canada Ltd. to commence an orientation study utilizing innovative Chrysos PhotonAssay TM technology (“photon assay”) to analyze gold content in drill core and rock samples from its Quesnelle Gold Quartz Mine property (the ”Property”), located approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) northeast of Hixon, central British Columbia, Canada. This study is designed to evaluate the potential for better addressing the nugget effect, one of the most persistent challenges in precious metals exploration, while potentially improving assay turnaround times. The non-destructive photon assay procedure employs high-energy photons (X-rays) to interact with the atomic structure of the samples, resulting in characteristic gamma emissions from gold atoms. This process allows for the quick analysis of larger volumes (up to 500 g) of sample material per assay. Compared to traditional fire assay methods (30 – 50 g sample material) it, therefore, boasts a huge advantage in addressing the nuggety nature typical for gold mineralization. The nugget effect is usually found to be particularly strong when coarse, visible gold is present, as encountered in almost all of the recent drill holes at the Company's Halo zone target. By analyzing a bigger and therefore more representative sample, the photon assay assures that both finely dispersed gold and coarse gold particles are accurately quantified. Photon assay is an established method widely used in multiple gold exploration and mining projects around the world with excellent results.
