Company”) (TSXV: GLDN) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement (the “Option”)
with Kingfisher Metals Ltd. (“ Kingfisher"), a TSX Venture listed issuer , to divest its 100% interest in the
Hank property (“Hank” or the “ Hank Property”) located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. The
Hank Property consists of 1,700-hectares and is located in the heart of the Golden Triangle district,
approximately 140 kilometers north of Stewart BC.
Michael Blady, President and CEO of Golden Ridge stated: “Kingfisher has put in place a team of Golden
Triangle experts whose knowledge and experience will be an asset to continue the exploration
development of the Hank. We are pleased to sign this Option Agreement and allow Kingfisher the
opportunity to unlock the potential of the Hank. Th e transaction represents an accretive property

Hank Au-Cu-Ag Project
The Hank consists of an epithermal Au -Ag system that was first discovered in the early 1980s and the
Williams porphyry that was discovered by Golden Ridge in 2017 and drill tested in 2018-19. The Williams
porphyry is considered to be a high -level porphyry feeder to the Hank Au -Ag system although based on
the 6 km lateral extent to the epithermal system, it is likely that more porphyry centers exist in the area.
Future work at the Hank will focus on defining the l imits of the system and vectoring towards a copper -
rich core zone as well as infill drill ing across historical areas with the goal of producing a compliant
resource.
