Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 31, 2025) -
Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY)
(OTCQB: DRYGF)
("
Dryden Gold
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that the Ontario
Ministry of Mines has issued the exploration permits needed for drill testing the Sherridon Property
("Sherridon"). The Company is now fully permitted to drill test the near surface high-grade areas at
Sherridon, where historically surface samples were reported as high 617.00 g/t gold with several
samples over 100 g/t gold (

).
Prior to drill testing the Company has completed geological mapping at Sherridon. With this new data,
coupled with interpretations from previous drill and surface data, the geology team has built a geological
and mineralization model for Sherridon. The Company has also engaged Mira Geoscience to initiate a
3D inversion study which will help improve and expand the geological model prior to initiating the 2025
drill program. The Company is planning an initial approximately 1,000-2,000-meter drill program to test
Sherridon.
The Company is currently drilling at the Gold Rock Camp, where it is following up down plunge on the
Elora Structure as well as along strike to the northeast towards the historic Laurentian Mine and Mud
Lake targets (

). This marks the start of the Company's approximately 15,000-meter drill program for
2025 with the goal of showing the depth potential at Elora, testing additional high-grade structures at
Gold Rock and regional testing.
"
This permit along with our new permit at Gold Rock are major milestones for the Dryden Gold team.
These permits will enable us to systematically explore and drill test new targets on our large strategic
property. We are delighted to receive this support from the First Nations Communities and the Ontario
Ministry of Mines for the two permits. The historical results have been very promising at Sherridon.
We are confident that our fully funded 2025 exploration will reveal the potential extent of the high-
grade gold across the Dryden Gold District,"
stated Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold.
Mira Geoscience 3D Inversion Study
A similar 3D inversion study was used on the Gold Rock and Hyndman exploration areas. The study
creates a geophysical model that helps inform the 3D geological interpretation for the area. Geophysical
anomalies from these studies have proven to be successful exploration targets at Gold Rock and
Hyndman. The geology team will use the outcome of this study to assist in mapping and sampling and to
inform the drill targets at Sherridon.
"
I am very excited to complete the 3D inversion study on Sherridon. We have completed this type of
study on Gold Rock and Hyndman, which have both resulted in favourable new exploration targets
(

). We now have exploration permits for Gold Rock and Sherridon which allows us to test our
theories for high-grade controls on these targets and expand their footprints
," stated Maura Kolb,
President of Dryden Gold.

Sherridon Geological Overview
The property comprises mainly mafic greenschist facies metavolcanic rocks with minor discontinuous
gabbro, pyroxenite, and diorite intrusions in the centre of the property. To the east of the property, there
are folded porphyritic pillowed basalts that host centime-scale discontinuous barren quartz veins.
Known mineralization on the property is spatially related to a strongly developed east-west trending,
steeply dipping foliation that defines an approximately 4km along-strike "strain corridor". The known
mineralization is spatially associated with the presence of magnetic medium-grained pyroxenite dykes
that carried up to 5% disseminated sulphides, including pyrite and arsenopyrite throughout their matrix.
The geophysical study will help the geology team to interpret areas under surficial cover and further
refine the structural model for the Sherridon.
The Company has expanded the land position at Sherridon since the field program of 2024. The Mira
Geophysical study will encompass the entire new land package looking for similar geophysical
signatures to the know mineralization and other highly favourable geological settings for high-grade gold
mineralization.

Analytical Laboratory and QA/QC Procedures
All sampling completed by Dryden Gold Corp. within its exploration programs is subject to a Company
standard of internal quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) programs which include the insertion
of certified reference materials, blank materials, and a level of duplicate analysis. Drill samples from the
2023 program were sent to Activation Laboratories, with sample preparation and analysis in Thunder
Bay, where they were processed for gold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish
and over limits determined by Fire Assay with a gravimetric finish.
Activation Laboratories systems
conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meets assay requirements outlined
for NI 43-101.
