News Release

Golden Ridge Drills 319 Meters of 0.42g/t Au 0.34% Cu and 2.20 g/t

Ag (0.96 g/t AuEq1) including 131 Meters of 0.68 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu

and 3.34 g/t Ag (1.56 g/t AuEq1) in HNK-18-013 in the Williams

Porphyry Zone; Mineralization Open Laterally and at Depth.

November 28, 2018 TSX-V: GLDN

GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES LTD. (TSX-V: GLDN) ("Golden Ridge" or the "Company") is pleased to

report assay results for the remaining drill holes on its Hank Project in BC’s Golden Triangle District ,

which confirm a significant copper-gold porphyry discovery at the Williams Zone . HNK-18-013, drilled

northeast of 2018 drill holes 1, 2 and 5, intersected 319 meters of 0.42g/t Au, 0.34% Cu and 2.20 g/t

Ag (0.96 g/t AuEq1) including 131 meters of 0.68 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu and 3.34 g/t Ag (1.56 g/t AuEq 1).

HNK-18-007 was drilled from outside the Williams Zone to the southwest of hole 1 and entered

mineralized, potassic altered monzonite at 427 meters, ending in mineralization at 603.50 meters (1980

feet, the maximum working depth for the Hydracore 2000 drill) . New IP geophysical results show a

strong correlation between chargeability and mineralization, indicating significant room for expansion of

the Williams porphyry both laterally and at depth (Figure 1).

Highlights:

- HNK-18-013: 318.73 meters of 0.42g/t Au , 0.34% Cu and 2.20 g/t Ag (0.96 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 217.27 to 536.00 meters:

▪ Including 13 0.89 meters of 0.68 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu and 3.34 g/t Ag (1.56 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 271.00 to 401.89 meters.

▪ Including 98.30 meters of 0.74 g/t Au, 0.60% Cu and 3.35 g/t Ag (1.69 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 275.00 to 373.30 meters.

• Including 40.00 meters of 0.84 g/t Au, 0.64% Cu and 3.28 g/t Ag (1.85 g/t

gold equivalent1) from 278.00 to 318.00 meters.

- HNK-18-007: 176.50 meters of 0. 21 g/t Au , 0.20% Cu and 2. 51 g/t Ag (0. 54 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 427.00 to 603.50 meters:

▪ Including 30.92 meters of 0. 21 g/t Au, 0. 33% Cu and 4.77 g/t Ag ( 0.77 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 432.08 to 463.00 meters.

▪ Including 18.44 meters of 0.39 g/t Au, 0.26% Cu and 2.02 g/t Ag (0.81 g/t gold

equivalent1) from 577.30 to 593.44 meters.

Hole HNK-18-013 was collared northeast of previously released holes HNK -18-001, HNK-18-002 and

HNK-18-005, beginning in a shoulder of phyllic altered volcanics and progressing west beneath a fault

zone into strongly potassic altered , copper-gold-silver mineralized monzonite. The hole ended in

mineralization with abundant potassic alteration at 568.45 meters. HNK-18-007 was collared outside

of the Williams Zone, west of HNK-18-001, and drilled northeast through a shoulder of strongly phyllic

altered volcanics and into potassic altered monzonite at 427 meters, with the potassic alteration and

mineralization increasing with depth. The hole ended in mineralization at the maximum capability of the

Hydracore 2000 drill.

Chris Paul, Vice President of Exploration for Golden Ridge, commented: “We are very pleased with our

initial progress on the Wi lliams Zone. In a single season, Golden Ridge has taken the Williams Zone

from a blind target to a significant discovery. Several of the 2018 drill holes ended in mineralization,

leaving the system open at depth and laterally. We are very excited about the next phase of drilling

which will utilize larger drill rigs and test the system in several directions. The final results of the 2018

IP survey have exposed a remarkably large chargeability anomaly that appears to extend laterally and

below the Williams Zone. Going forward, the Company plans to focus its exploration on the Williams

Zone, with an aggressive drill program planned for 2019 which aims to further outline the size and tenor

of the Company’s 2018 Cu-Au porphyry discovery.”

1Gold equivalent (AuEq) grades are calculated using 200 day moving average metal prices of: gold US$1227/oz., silver US$14.53/oz., copper

US$2.73/lb. Gold equivalent grade is calculated as AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + Ag (g/t) * 0.012 + Cu (%) * 1.523. The factors for silver (0.012) and

copper (1.523) will change depending on the metal price. The metal price numbers listed above were used to determine the conversion factors

presented herein. Metal recoveries have not been applied in the gold equivalent calculation.

2The intervals reported in these tables represent drill intercepts and insufficient data are available at this time to state the true thickness of the

mineralized intervals. All gold values are uncut.

IP Survey:

Golden Ridge has received 3D inversions of the 2018 IP survey on the Williams Zone, incorporating data

from both the initial Phase I survey as well as follow -up lines which were completed at the end of the

season. The new survey data extends the very strong (>40 mV/V) chargeability anomaly over the Williams

Zone to over 1.2 kilometers in length and 600 meters in width (Figure 1). The high chargeability values are

coincident with drill intersections of Cu-Au mineralization and show the same NE-SW trend indicated by

the 2018 drilling . The anomalies appear to be open below the dep th of penetration of the survey at

approximately 600 meters. IP is proving to be an effective tool for targeting alkalic porphy ries in the

Golden Triangle and will be a key factor in guiding the next phase of drilling at the Williams Zone.

Epithermal Gold:

Golden Ridge also reports the results from the remaining four holes drilled on its epithermal gold-silver

targets on the Hank. Holes HNK -18-011 and HNK -18-014 drilled in the Lower Alteration Zone (LAZ)

returned broad intercepts of lower grade gold -silver-lead-zinc mineralization. HNK-18-011 ended in

mineralization at 515.42 meters, with gold grade increasing throughout the hole, indic ating increasing

mineralization intensity downslope. Intercepts from holes HNK -18-008 and HNK -18-016 appear to

represent low grade halos which are distal from the higher-grade epithermal mineralization. The Company

interprets the epithermal gold-silver mineralization on the Hank Property to be related to th e porphyry

system, discovered this year, as a zonation of gold, silver, lead and zinc mineralization surrounding the

copper-gold porphyry core.

Quality assurance/quality control procedures:

All drill core was logged, photographed, cut and sampled by Golden Ridge personnel. Prior to shipment to

MS Analytical’s sample preparation facility in Terrace, B.C., certified reference material standards, blanks

and field duplicates were inserted at a ratio of approximately one in every 20 drill core samples. Samples

were prepared in Terrace by crushing the entire sample to 70 per cent passing minus two millimetres,

riffle splitting off one kilogram and pulverizing the split to better than 85 per cent passing 75 microns .

After preparation in Terrace, the prepared pulps were shipped to MS Analytical’s analytical laboratory in

Langley, B.C.

The gold assays are determined by FAS -111 fire assay method which reports results in parts per million

(equivalent to grams per tonne ). Any samples with a fire assay that report gold concentrations equal to

or higher than 10.0 g/t Au are analyzed by metallic screen method (Au-SCR24).

Base metal assays are determined by IMS -230 4-acid digestion with ICP -AES/MS finish method, which

reports results as parts per million (ppm). All analyses that reach the 10,000 ppm overlimit of IMS-230 are

reanalyzed with an ore-grade method. The analytical results are verified with the application of industry-

standard quality control and quality assurance procedures.
