News Release

Golden Ridge Resources Provides Update on Phase II Exploration

Program on Ball Creek

September 18, 2019 TSX-V: GLDN

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

provide an update on its phase II exploration and diamond drilling program focused on its Ball Creek

project (“Ball Creek” or the “Property”), located in BC’s Golden Triangle. The first hole testing the

southwest extension of the Main Zone has been complet ed to a depth of 393.0 meters intersecting a

feldspar-hornblende +/ - biotite porphyry with varying levels of potassic alteration and copper

mineralization. This newly completed hole extends the strike length of known mineralization at the main

zone to 1.3 kilometers (Figure 1).

Highlights

• Completed Main Zone step -out diamond drill hole BC-MZ-19-01 to 393.0 meters depth . This

hole tested the southwest extension of the Main Zone target on Ball Creek.

o Extended the mineralization and alteration encountered in previous drilling undertaken

at the Main Zone.

o Added 60 meters of strike to the known mineralization of the Main Zone.

• Drilling currently underway on hole BC -GZ-19-01 in the previously untested Goat Zone, which

lies 1.7 kilometers southeast of BC-MZ-19-01. The Goat Zone is interpreted as the southern and

deeper portion of the porphyry system at the Main Zone, with minor fault offsets along strike

(Figure 2).

• Property-wide reconnaissance geochemical program has collected over 4000 samples to date,

with results to be compiled and presented in the coming months.

• Property wide prospecting and mapping have identified multiple new Cu-Au porphyry, skarn and

VMS occurrences. Selected targets are slated for drill testing in 2020.

2019 Phase I Hank Drilling Results

In addition to the Company’s news release dated July 22, 2019 the remaining drill results from it’s Phase

I drilling at the Hank Project have been received. No significant drill intercepts were received at the

Boiling Zone and Creek Zone. The additional three step -out holes drilled into the Williams Zone

encountered porphyry style alteration with no significant Cu-Au-Ag mineralization. In total 2,952.50

meters were drilled in Phase I.

Qualified Person

Dr. Gerald G. Carlson, PhD, PEng, technical advisor to the Company, is the Qualified Person as defined

by National Instrument 43-101 who has reviewed and approved the technical data in this news release.

Quality assurance/quality control procedures:

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

to ALS Global 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 10 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 ALS Global’s analytical laboratory in

North Vancouver, B.C.

The gold assays are determined by AuAA23 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 ME-MS41 aqua regia 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

ME-MS41 are reanalyzed with an ore -grade method . The analytical results are verified with the

application of industry-standard quality control and quality assurance procedures.
