District Collector Urges Coordinated Efforts for Quality Cotton Seed Production in Gadwal
Gadwal: To ensure the supply of quality seeds to farmers, Jogulamba Gadwal District Collector B.M. Santosh stressed the need for seamless coordination among government officials, seed organizers, and seed companies. On Wednesday, the Collector chaired a meeting on cotton seed production at the IDOC meeting hall, bringing together officials from the agriculture department, representatives of seed companies, and seed organizers. Speaking on the occasion, the Collector noted that favorable rainfall this year presents an excellent opportunity for agricultural success. He urged all stakeholders to take proactive measures to avoid crop loss and help farmers earn higher incomes. Highlighting that cotton seed production is a major source of livelihood in the district, he stated that approximately 30,000 acres are under cultivation, supporting the production efforts of 35,000 to 40,000 farmers. Collector Santosh directed all stakeholders to work collaboratively to ensure good yields for farmers and mutual benefit for all parties. He instructed the seed companies to submit their operational plans for the current year's seed production. Additionally, companies must provide detailed reports on last year's seed production, including the number of farmers whose seeds passed the Grow-Out Test (GOT), and the volume of failed seed batches. The Collector emphasized that seed companies must extend technical support to seed-producing farmers. He urged the companies to regularly train farmers with the help of agricultural experts on how to handle challenges such as extreme heat, heavy rains, pests, and crop diseases. Strict action will be taken against those selling counterfeit seeds, the Collector warned. He also made it clear that child labor is strictly prohibited in cotton seed production and that any such incidents will result in severe penalties. Attendees at the meeting included Joint Director of Agriculture Jaggu Naik, District Agriculture Officer Sakriya Naik, ADA Sangeetha Lakshmi, Technical ADA Ramesh, Mandal Agriculture Officers, representatives from seed companies, and seed organizers.

Goliath Mobilizes For Its Largest Drill Program Of 40,000 Meters With 9 Rigs On The Extensive Surebet High-Grade Gold Discovery That Remains Wide Open Golddigger Property, Golden Triangle, B.C.
Surebet Discovery Highlights TORONTO, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the 'Company' or 'Goliath') is pleased to report that it has mobilized for its largest drill campaign to date entirely focused on the Surebet high-grade gold discovery based on the positive results from the 2024 season at its 100% controlled Golddigger Property (the 'Property'), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The 2025 planned drill program will include 40,000 meters of systematic drilling designed to outline in detail the full geometry and extent of this discovery laterally and to depth. Goliath is armed with much more drilling and geological data with 92,000 meters drilled to date (2021 – 2024) that encompasses over 400 pierce points which has greatly improved our understanding of the exceptional Surebet discovery mineralized system that remains open for expansion in all directions 100% of the drilling this year will be focused on the Surebet discovery, where the Company has designed a detailed drill plan that will consist of testing for the Motherlode causative intrusion gold source, testing an additional 13 potential feeder dykes observed on surface that have never been drill tested for mineralization, infill drilling with the goal of increasing the pierce points density in all known veins with a particular focus on the highest-grade areas from the Bonanza Zone and Surebet Zone intersection domain, as well as expanding the known mineralized veins laterally and to depth where they currently remain open. Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: ' With an extremely robust balance sheet in hand, we have mobilized for our largest drill campaign to date totaling 40,000 meters with 9 rigs that is entirely focused on our exceptional Surebet high-grade gold system discovery located within our 100% controlled Golddigger Property. In preparation for this years drill program, we have completed an updated model of our vertically stacked gently dipping vein system, and series of near vertical dykes intersecting the veins that will help us target the higher grade lodes for expansion. A key study done at the Colorado School of Mines was to assess the contacts of the veins and dykes found that there are two temperature regimes responsible for the gold mineralization, suggesting that there was most likely a primary and secondary gold enrichment where the veins and dykes crosscut. In the past, we did not pay close attention to the dykes because they were known to be of Eocene age, which was not considered by explorers in the Golden Triangle to be important for gold mineralization. As we have now hit high-grade gold in 4 Eocene dykes thus far, it is a huge new breakthrough for the Surebet discovery and for others exploring in the Golden Triangle. We have been delighted with the interest from other companies in the region about the potential for gold mineralization in the Eocene aged dykes as we have now changed the historical narrative. Another important finding in the work done at the Colorado School of Mines was age dating of the veins, dykes and Hyder Pluton to the west are all very close in the time of their emplacement with the potential for a common source being a magmatic intrusion close by. We will be able to also use the modeling work of the veins and dykes to help us vector into the source of the gold mineralizing system. Our first order of business upon our geological team arriving in Kitsault, is to relog core from 50 drill holes from 2021 - 2024 totaling 2,062 meters that intersected our Eocene dykes, then prepare them to be sent for assaying as well as start building drill pads. Shortly afterward, we will be ready to hit the ground running with getting drill rigs on the mountain turning. Our 2024 drill campaign was our most successful to date, and this season we are armed with much more drilling and geological data than ever before. We feel that 2025 will be even more successful than the previous year. We look forward to updating shareholders on drilling progress throughout the season and provide drilling assay results as they are received, compiled, and interpreted.' About Golddigger Property The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in the world class geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area has hosted some of Canada's greatest mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization. The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and exceptional excellent metallurgy with gold recoveries from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present such as mercury or arsenic. The Property is in an excellent location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is 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 includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 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).

For more information please contact: Goliath Resources Limited Mr. Roger Rosmus Founder and CEO Tel: +1.416.488.2887 [email protected] Disclaimer The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled. Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2022 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration are sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half, one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. Standards, blanks and duplicates were added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples were then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, standards, and duplicate samples were inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%. All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. A transport company takes them from the core shack to the Paragon Geochemical labs facilities in Surrey, BC or ALS labs facilities in North Vancouver, BC. Paragon Geochemical is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. Samples submitted to Paragon received gold and silver analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The entire crushed sample is riffle split and weighed into multiple (300-500g) jars that are submitted for photon assay. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, causing them to emit secondary gamma rays, which are measured to identify and quantify the metals present. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. ALS is either certified to ISO 9001:2008 or accredited to ISO 17025:2005 in all of its locations. At ALS samples were processed, dried, crushed, and pulverized before analysis using the ME-MS61 and Au-SCR21 methods. For the ME-MS61 method, a prepared sample is digested with perchloric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and hydrochloric acids. The residue is topped up with dilute hydrochloric acid and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Overlimits were re-analyzed using the ME-OG62 and Ag-GRA21 methods (gravimetric finish). For Au-SCR21 a large volume of sample is needed (typically 1-3kg). The sample is crushed and screened (usually to -106 micron) to separate coarse gold particles from fine material. After screening, two aliquots of the fine fraction are analysed using the traditional fire assay method. The fine fraction is expected to be reasonably homogenous and well represented by the duplicate analyses. The entire coarse fraction is assayed to determine the contribution of the coarse gold. Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: Au 2797.16 USD/oz, Ag 31.28 USD/oz, Cu 4.25 USD/lbs, Pb 1955.58 USD/ton and Zn 2750.50 USD/ton on January 31st, 2025. 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.

Crew member wanders into frame in new The Last of Us episode, internet has a field day: 'GoT coffee cup all over again'
The Last of Us is one of the most talked-about shows on television right now. The HBO series is consistently breaking viewership records, and (spoiler alert) Pedro Pascal's character's death earlier this season catapulted it to the mainstream as well. Even as Pedro returned to the screen in the latest episode in flashbacks, what stole the show was a crew member who accidentally wandered into the frame and was left there, too, rather puzzlingly. (Also read: The Last of Us kills off major character in 'shocking, devastating' scene; reeling fans say: 'This will haunt forever') The Last of Us S02E06 sees Ellie (Bella Ramsey) remembering her bond with Joel (Pedro Pascal) through a series of flashbacks about how they celebrated her birthdays over the five years between seasons 1 and 2. The episode sets up important context about Joel and Ellie's fallout and adds emotional heft to Ellie's loss on Joel's death. One of the flashbacks in the post-apocalypse show's new episode sees Joel and Ellie out on patrol in the woods near their new residence - the Jackson settlement. The scene is a heartfelt one with the two talking about trust. However, the suspension of disbelief is lifted for a moment as the two ride off on their horses and the camera points to a crew member in the background, blurred but very much in the frame. A post shared by Rubén Starkgaryen 🐺🐉🇵🇷 (@crossrodz.r) On Tuesday, Instagram user @crossrodz.r shared the clip with the caption, "It's the coffee cup on GOT all over again." The reference is to the infamous Starbucks coffee cup that made its way into a frame on Game of Thrones' final season a few years ago. Fans reacted to the clip with laughter. One wrote, "They'll probably try and edit it out as soon as they realise." Another added that the 'trespasser' looked like showrunner Craig Mazin. Many others agreed that 'It's giving Starbucks cup on GoT'. The Last of Us, created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO, is based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog. Set 20 years in the future, it shows a world ravaged by a fungal epidemic that turns the infected into zombie-like creatures. The second season is currently streaming on JioHotstar with a new episode dropping every Sunday.
