GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES ACQUIRES GOLD PROJECT NEAR BRALORNE

Kelowna, British Columbia – April 25, 2018 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or the

“Company”) (TSXV: GLDN) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement (the

“Agreement”) whereby Golden Ridge can acquire a 100% interest in the Royalle property (the “Royalle

Property”) located in British Columbia’s prolific Bralorne mining camp , by incurring cert ain exploration

expenditures and making cash and share payments over a four year period.

About the Royalle Property*

From 1928 to 1971, the Bralorne and nearby Pioneer and King mines produced a total of 4.15 million

ounces of gold from 7.9 million tons of ore, at an a verage head grade exceeding half-an-ounce per ton.

Previous drilling on the Royalle Property focused on the numerous bedrock gold showings exposed at high

elevations. Recent Aeromag, AeroTEM II and ZTEM heli -borne geophysical surveys have confirmed that

government geology maps correctly interpreted the Cadwallader Break, the regional-scale fault structure

responsible for gold mineralization at Bralorne, to be underlying Cadwallader Creek on the Royalle

Property (Figure 1). Drill holes have now been planned to target the interpreted 2nd and 3rd order fault

splays which branch off the Cadwallader Break, since it is these structures that host the high-grade gold-

quartz veins at Bralorne.

CEO Michael Blady comments that, “ The geological and stru ctural setting of the Royalle P roperty is

analogous to that of the nearby Bralorne ** and Pioneer Mines **. The rocks which lie along the

Cadwallader Break on the Royalle are similar to the serpentinites and Pioneer Greenstones hosting veins

at Bralorne. Most of the arsenic and gold anomalies on the property appear to be associated with the

contacts of serpentinites along t he Cadwallader Break . We believ e the Royalle P roperty has excellent

potential for the discovery of a large tonnage high-grade gold deposit. An aggressive diamond drilling

program is planned for the Fall/Winter of 2018 to test the targets outlined by our geological team, which

are hidden beneath the alluvial valley cover.”

The property is accessed via the all-season Lillooet-Pioneer road, making the property ideal for low-cost,

year-round drilling. Golden Ridge will immediately begin the permitting process for a Fall/Winter diamond

drilling program.
