Spruce Ridge Acquires Large Land Package with Gold Exploration Potential
Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSX-V SHL) - (“Spruce Ridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it
has acquired from a private company 767 claims totaling 19,175 hectares which are contiguous to the
current Great Burnt Copper -Gold Property. With this new addition, Spruce Ridge’s land position has
increased to 26,000 hectares.
T
he newly acquired claims cover a large, previously unexplore d area underlain by Lower Paleozoic
siliciclastic rocks, similar to those hosting recently discovered gold deposits on the Queensway Project of
New Found Gold Corp. and the Moosehead Project of Sokoman Minerals Corp. Re- interpretation of
province-wide airborne magnetic data has indicated previously undocumented structural complexity ,
including a regional-scale fold and possible crustal -scale fault structures similar to the structures that are
now known to localize gold mineralization in Central Newfoundland . The fold feature may cause the
mineralized horizon containing the Great Burnt copper deposit and the South Pond gold and copper -gold
zones to be repeated on the western limb. Local magnetic anomalies have been interpreted as possible
ophiolite slivers along a northeast-trending structure that may be similar to the GRUB line.

J
ohn Ryan, CEO of Spruce Ridge Resources stated “We are excited by this opportunity to enter the Central
Newfoundland gold rush at the grass -roots level. Spruce Ridge will shortly be drilling the South Pond “B”
gold zone, a 1.2-kilometer-long zone of strata-bound gold that was last drilled in the 1980s. These newly
acquired claims give us the chance to expand our gold focus to include a large area of prospective ground
that has seen little or no historical exploration. The magnetic interpretation indicates that the new claims
may include deep crustal structures like the Appleton Fault and the GRUB line, with the gold potential that
they imply. Our first step will be an airborne magnetic and EM survey, with subsequent ground follow -up”
S
pruce Ridge will pay the vendors staking fees of $49, 855 and will issue 2 million Spruce Ridge shares
with the first million shares to be issued upon approval and the second million shares will be issued after
receiving the results of a Magnetic Gradiometer survey over the property. This acquisition is subject to
TSX Venture approval.

leases with petroleum and natural gas rights, plus oil and gas wells, pipelines and facilities in the Unity area
of southwestern Saskatchewan. Included in the purchase are 793 ha of petroleum and natural gas rights
from surface to the base of the Mannville Group with an average working interest of 84%. T he purchase
includes 5 active oil wells, 10 suspended oil and gas wells, heavy oil facilities, pipelines, and an active
produced water disposal well. Spruce Ridge Resources sold its interest in in the Crawford Nickel -Cobalt
Sulphide project to Canada Nickel Company Inc. but retained ground which contains VMS and gold targets.

Mining Inc.
