Stifel’s thesis on Goliath Resources (TSXV: GOT) is that Surebet’s drill-backed ounce quality is being mispriced, with the latest release strengthening grade-and-width continuity and adding potential scale beyond its current mine plan assumptions.
Goliath, rated BUY with a $5.00 per share target price, cloed at $2.82 a share on Friday. The research firm further described Goliath as trading at 0.18x spot P/NAV and roughly $12 per gold ounce grade-adjusted, versus more advanced comps near $90 per ounce.
Recently, Goliath released the final 70 holes from Surebet’s 2025 drill campaign, highlighted by hole GD-25-319 assaying at 19.13 g/t gold over 6.10 metres, including 29.09 g/t gold over 4.0 metres, within the Golden Gate Zone and outside Stifel’s current mine plan model.
Across Surebet drilling to date, Stifel cites a cumulative weighted average grade x width of 4.89 g/t gold over 6.74 metres.
On the other hand, Bonanza results were highlighted by hole GD-25-405 drilling 10.58 g/t gold over 8.3 metres, including 15.50 g/t gold over 5.6 metres, with Stifel arguing these intercepts increase confidence in continuity around the BZ2 vein area.
Stifel’s starter pack construct centers on an estimate of 3.1 million tonnes at 7.17 g/t gold for roughly 710,000 ounces, described as close to surface with lower underground development needs, forming an early payback profile during the first three years of mine life as throughput ramps to 4,000 tpd.
For valuation context, Stifel’s economic model assumes production only from Bonanza + Surebet, with a combined estimate of 14.4 million tonnes for 2.4 million gold ounces, within a broader estimated exploration target of 4.3 million ounces.
Stifel argues Surebet’s early-hole profile resembles the former Great Bear Resources’ Dixie dataset, noting Surebet’s first 150 holes average 124 gm versus Dixie’s LP Zone at 129 gm, a 4% difference, while also noting that most Canadian deposits over 5 million gold ounces had initial discovery holes above 134 gm, compared with Surebet at 159 gm.
A planned 50 km 2026 campaign is positioned as tighter-spaced drilling that could justify inclusion of additional zones, increasing asset duration within the valuation framework that currently contemplates only 58% of the 4.3 million gould-ounce exploration target.
Goliath Resources last traded at $2.82 on the TSX Venture.
