Golden Ridge Resources Completes Trenching at the Williams GOLD Property, Located Within New Found GOLD Corps’ Queensway South GOLD Project
GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES COMPLETES TRENCHING AT THE WILLIAMS GOLD PROPERTY, LOCATED
WITHIN NEW FOUND GOLD CORPS’ QUEENSWAY SOUTH GOLD PROJECT
Kelowna, British Columbia – September 17, 2021 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: GLDN) is pleased to report that it has completed trenching on the on the Williams
Gold Property (“Williams” or “The Property”), located within 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 Trenching targets were determined through prospecting and soil sampling
completed in 2020. Trenching uncovered numerous mineralized quartz-veined zones throughout the
property, suggesting multiple potential mineralizing systems. The Company also completed the collection
of 864 soil samples on a 25x25m grid to refine the definition of anomalous areas identified in the 2020
soil sampling program (Figure 2). The Company has received the drill permit for the Williams Gold
Property and is currently completing Phase 1 work while awaiting assays.
- Trenching and prospecting have highlighted numerous hydrothermal zones containing pyrite,
arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and boulangerite within NE-trending structures , including the
southern extension of the Appleton Fault Zone. Trenching encountered quartz veins and breccia
zones 2-10m in thickness with associated mineralization and alteration. The zones are primarily
hosted in green mudstone and black shale, which are typically strongly crenulated and folded.
- The mineralized zones are situated within Au-As-Sb soil anomalies, suggesting that soil sampling
is an effective tool to locate mineralization on the Property. The Company followed up the
100x100m regional soil program completed in 2020 (see News Release of October 26, 2020) with
a targeted 25x25m soil sampling program. Increas ed sample density will highlight areas of
interest for Phase II exploration and drilling in the fall.
- The Company has received its drill permit for the Williams Property and will commence drilling
upon receipt of its trenching and geochemical assays.
Mike Blady, Director, CEO & President of Golden Ridge stated “We have successfully begun to uncover and
define the potential for high-grade Au mineralization within the Williams Gold Property, where very limited
historical work has been done. Trenching has uncovered mineralized zones within multiple potential
hydrothermal corridors, with similar characteristics to high-grade mineralization found within the
Queensway property. Soil sampling has proved to be effective for exploration within the Property and the
Company has followed up with a high-definition 25x25m grid to vector towards high-grade mineralization
for Phase II follow up.”
