Golden Goliath Releases Exploration Updates for Uruachic, Corona and La Cruz PropertiesVancouver, Canada, September 4, 2008 - Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:GNG) (US:GGTH-F) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling at the Las Bolas property continues to cut carbonaceous manto style mineralization in an area which coincides with an IP chargeablity anomaly that is spread over an area approximately 1,033m long and 533m wide and is open to the north. Each hole normally cuts at least two manto units, which can be over 6 metres in apparent true thickness. These carbonaceous dark lutite with intercalated graphite, manto-like units can carry extremely high silver and gold grades, such as in hole BD-08-3 which had a manto section that graded 9.87 gms gold/tonne and 3,090 gms silver/tonne. The Company is currently compiling and awaiting results from this drilling and hopes to be able to release several holes soon. Surface work at Las Bolas also continues to generate new results and drill targets. Nine contiguous, 3-metre chip samples from new road cut between the two Frijolar tunnels has just returned 236 gms silver/tonne over a length of 36 metres. Two drill holes have now been spotted at this site, which brings the total of currently spotted holes waiting for drilling to fifteen. On the San Timoteo property the surface diamond drill is currently testing an ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emmission & Reflection) target. The ASTER analysis report for the Uruachi district was written by Ward E. Kilby P.Geo of Cal Data Ltd., Kelowna, BC. The report has delineated some highly altered zones & important mineral spectra that are similar to the Carlin Trend Deposits and other large hydrothermal systems. Following the ASTER work, the drill will then move to a target generated by the IP survey on San Timoteo II. Access road and drill pad building has exposed an altered and mineralized section that will require at least two or three holes to test. Senior consultant to the Company, R.H. McMillan PhD., P.Eng. (Ont,), P.Geo (B.C.), who has agreed to do the Company's resource calculations, has recommended detailed underground mapping of the high grade mineralized zones with the old San Martin mine tunnel prior to underground drilling of these zones. This detailed work is now underway. Following these rich zones from the surface, which is 175 metres above the tunnel on a steep hillside, has proven difficult as only limited drill sites are available. Underground drilling will be much more efficient and less expensive. A drilling company specializing in underground drilling has already visited the site and the Company is waiting for their proposal. Commenting on the latest round of drill results Golden Goliath’s CEO Mr. Paul Sorbara stated: “After several years of methodically working this property our efforts are now starting to pay off. The Manto type structures we have identified and are in the process of expanding at Las Bolas are very encouraging due to the extended sections showing much thicker cross sections of mineralization. At San Timoteo, we expect to accelerate that program as well as we move the drill head into the San Martin tunnel and start attacking the high grade mineralization we are starting to see at depth with much greater precision. CORONA PROPERTY UPDATE Comstock’s work to date has been very encouraging, with field work in 2008 returning UPDATE ON LA CRUZ Commenting on the recent development, Paul Sorbara, CEO and President for Golden Goliath stated: “While we are obviously disappointed that Pan American has decided not to continue their exploration program at La Cruz, we still see plenty of potential in the property based on both good results from previous surface testing as well as the historical production that occurred on the property. Pan American’s involvement resulted in the expansion of the land package via staking by at least 100% in terms of gross acreage, and we benefit from this as the entire land position will be transferred back Golden Goliath. As our own exploration capacity is currently being fully utilized at Uruachic, we will probably be looking to option La Cruz out to another joint venture partner in the future. About Golden Goliath
