Golden Ridge Resources Commences Drilling at the Williams Gold Property
Kelowna, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 14, 2022 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or “the Company”) (TSXV:GLDN) (OTC:GORIF) is pleased to announce commencement of a 5,000m drilling program at the Williams Gold Property (“Williams” or “the Property”), that is surrounded by New Found Gold Corp (NFGC)’s Queensway South Gold Property in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador (Figure 1).1 The maiden diamond-drilling program at Williams is focused on robust gold anomalies in soil and in trenches in the south and central portions of the property. Extensive prospecting, high-density soil sampling, and trenching were conducted during the 2021 and 2022 field seasons and highlighted strong anomalies within the Appleton and Dog Bay Fault Corridors. High-density soil sampling conducted in 2022 successfully extended soil anomalies identified during the 2021 field program, as well as detecting potential parallel mineralized zones.
High-Tenor Gold-in-Soil Anomalies Extended
Golden Ridge successfully extended gold-in-soil anomalies within the Appleton Fault Corridor in the southern portion of the Williams Gold Property. Golden Ridge has highlighted multiple large soil anomalies with Au values up to 1,503 ppb (see October 26, 2020 & March 10,2022; Figure 2). Golden Ridge has taken an additional 623 soil samples in 2022 and will continue to utilize this method as targets develop.
“After several years of systematic greenfield exploration, the anomalies identified within the dataset that we have put together at Williams are very compelling and suggest the potential for significant gold mineralization. We are very excited to test the strong gold-in-soil anomalies along the Appleton Fault Corridor with our maiden drill program on the Williams Property. Significantly improved assay lab turnaround times in 2022 will improve Golden Ridge’s ability to conduct methodical and dynamic exploration not only at Williams but across the island.”, stated Mike Blady, Director, CEO and President of Golden Ridge.
