Golden Ridge Resources Drills 21.62m of 7.04 G/T AuEq at the Hank Project IN Bc’S Golden Triangle
GOLDEN RIDGE RESOURCES DRILLS 21.62m of 7.04 G/T AUEQ AT THE HANK PROJECT IN BC’S GOLDEN
TRIANGLE
Kelowna, British Columbia – January 8, 2018 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: GLDN). Golden Ridge is pleased to report the third and final batch of assay results
from its 2017 drill program at the Hank Property (“Hank” or the “Property”) in northwestern British
Columbia, Canada. Highlights include hole HNK-17-009, which returned 7.04 g/t AuEq over 21.62 meters
within a broader intercept of 3.15 g/t AuEq over 58.00 meters within the newly discovered Kaip Zone. The
mineralization in HNK-17-009 is hosted within and surrounding the contact of a buried altered intrusion
(Figure 2). The strongest mineralization appears to be situated within the upper parts of the intrusion and
targeting the Kaip zone will be a priority for the upcoming 2018 drill program.

*The intervals reported in this table represent drill intercepts and insufficient data is available at this time to state the true
thickness of the mineralized intervals and all gold values are uncut.
**Gold equivalent (AuEq ) grades are calculated using 200 day moving average metal prices of: gold US$1268/oz., silver
US$17.10/oz., lead US$1.04/lb and zinc US$1.28/lb. Gold equivalent grade is calculated as AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + Ag (g/t) * 0.013
+ Pb (%) * 0.562 + Zn (%) * 0.692. The factors for silver (0.013), lead (0.562) and zinc (0.692) will change depending on the metal
price. The metal price numbers listed above were used to determine the conver sion factors presented herein. Metal recoveries
have not been applied in the gold equivalent calculation.
Digitizing is currently underway on a large historic IP/resistivity survey which covers the entire property.
Once complete, new inversions will be run on the resistivity data and used as an aid in further targeting
the mineralized intrusion in the upcoming 2018 drill program.
Following the historic drilling on the Hank, a joint BCGS/MDRU research paper was completed which
recognized that the Pb isotope signature of sulfides associated with gold mineralization matched that of
the Bald Bluff porphyry, a large intrusive stock on the west end of the Property (Kaip, 1997). It is
interpreted that the altered intrusive intersected in HNK-17-009 is related to the Bald Bluff Porphyry and
likely represents one of several causative mineralizing intrusions on the Property. The 2018 drill program
will further test that model with the aid of new geophysical resistivity data.
Michael Blady, CEO of Golden Ridge stated: “We have been able to execute on the objectives of our 2017
program with great success which were to confirm mineralization from historic programs, test historic
geologic models, test the undrilled areas of the LAZ, and to refine, update and modify our understanding
of the controls on mineralization. We are well positioned for the 2018 season after closing a recent
$1.5M financing and are excited to further drill the Kaip zone, utilizing the new resistivity data.”
Details of the 2018 drill program are currently being revised and will be presented in an upcoming news
release.

QA/QC Procedures:
All drill core was logged, photographed, cut and sampled by Golden Ridge personnel. Prior to shipment to
ALS Global’s sample preparation facility in Terrace, BC, certified reference material standards, blanks and
field duplicates were inserted at a ratio of approximately 1 in every 20 drill core samples. Samples were
prepared in Terrace by crushing the entire sample to 70% passing -2mm, riffle splitting off 1kilogram and
pulverizing the split to bet ter than 85% passing 75 microns . After preparation in Terrace, the prepared
pulps were shipped to ALS Global’s analytical laboratory in North Vancouver, BC. The gold assays are
determined by Au-AA26 fire assay method which reports results in parts per million (ppm) (equivalent to
grams per tonne (g/t)). Any samples with a fire assay that report gold concentrations equal to or higher
than 1.0 g/t Au are analysed by screen metallic method (Au-SCR24).
Base metal assays are first determined using the ME -MS41 method, which reports results as parts per
million (ppm). All analyses that reach the overlimits of ME -MS41 are reanalyzed with an Ore Grade
method. The analytical results are verified with the application of industry sta ndard Quality Control and
Quality Assurance (QA-QC) procedures.
