Pacific Ridge Announces 9.751 gpt Gold Grab Sample,
Hackly Zone, Mariposa Project, Yukon
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2019) -
Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: PEX) ("Pacific
Ridge" or the "Company") reports on a mapping and surface sampling program on its Mariposa Gold project, White Gold
District, Yukon. Mariposa is a 280 km
2
property covering the prolific Scroggie and Mariposa placer gold creeks, 30 km east of
Newmont Goldcorp's Coffee Gold Project. Seven samples collected from float of quartz vein and stockwork material at the
Hackly Zone averaged 2.50 gpt Au and 5.67 gpt Ag, with the highest, 9.75 gpt Au and 15.7 gpt Ag from a hematite-rich sample
of quartz vein. All samples were collected upslope from historical trenching, suggesting an undiscovered structurally controlled
gold source. The Hackly Zone occurs immediately above a particularly productive placer mining area on Mariposa Creek, noted
for pristine gold nuggets that appear to be close to their bedrock source.
