Golden Ridge Resources Mobilizes for Hank Drilling and Exploration Program

Kelowna, British Columbia – July 03, 2018 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (“Golden Ridge” or the

“Company”) (TSXV: GLDN) is pleased to announce that it has received a five-year area-based

authorization from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to establish

up to 60 drill sites on its Hank Property in BC’s Golden Triangle. Golden Ridge also is authorized to

establish a strategic exploration camp on Highway 37, within 15 km of the project, which will minimize

helicopter flight time and maintain low cost highway access for the camp. Construction of the camp has

commenced, and exploration crews are preparing for a minimum 6,000-meter drill program on the

Hank.

Highlights:

• One drill rig remains winterized on the Property and will begin drilling once camp construction is

complete. The first hole will test the Williams Zone , a newly discovered alkalic Cu-Au porphyry

system centered on a potassic altered, 400m diameter breccia pipe.

• A second drill rig is being mobilized to the Property and will begin testing the newly discovered

Kaip Zone which returned 21.62m of 6.26g/t Au and 52.1g/t Ag in hole HNK-17-009 (see June 8,

2018 press release ). Mineralization is hosted within and on the contact of a buried altered

intrusion and 2018 drilling aims to delineate the extent of this mineralized intrusion.

The C ompany is also pleased to announce that Wade Barnes, P.Geo., has joined the C ompany as a

consultant and “Qualified Person” as defined by NI 43 -101. Mr. Barnes was the 2016 recipient of the

Association for Mineral Exploration’s H.H. “Spud” Huestis award for excellence in prospecting and

mineral exploration. He has been involved with explorati on in BC since 2004, most recently as a project

geologist with Centerra Gold Inc.

Michael Blady, CEO of Golden Ridge stated: “ We are extremely excited to have Wade Barnes join the

Golden Ridge team. Wade was instrumental in Centerra Gold Inc.’s positive fe asibility study on the

Kemess Underground Project as well as the PEA for the Kemess East Prospect in British Columbia. Wade’s

mine feasibility and economics expertise will add excellent value to the exploration and development of

the Hank project.”
