Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. Intercepts High Grade and Disseminated Mineralization

Highlights

• Intercepted visible gold (VG) in hole WIL-22-014 (Photos 1 & 2)

• WIL-22-14: 0.5 meters of 50.45 g/t Au from 11 to 11.5 meters (Table 1)

• WIL-22-12: 37.8 meters of 0.7 g/t Au from 6.24 to 44.07 meters (Table 1)

• The Appleton Fault Corridor within the Property shows broad intervals of alteration and sulphide mineralization

• Inaugural drilling at Williams has consistently intersected near-surface gold mineralization in multiple zones over 1.5 kilometers apart in the first fourteen holes that have received assays

Drilling at Williams was focused along the main forest service road accessing the southeastern portion of the project. Holes were staged from this access road and provided important geological and analytical information, which was used to form the basis of Golden Ridge's geologic model which will continue to progress as additional assays are reported.

The drilling program at the Williams Gold Property follows up extensive prospecting, high density soil sampling, and trenching by Golden Ridge. The initial drill results show multiple mineralized fault zones associated with the previously reported large gold-in-soil anomalies. The 2022 drill program was focused on testing the large gold-in-soil anomalies and trench sampling. Gold mineralization is associated with minor to pervasive sericite alteration surrounding quartz-carbonate veins with variable pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite and antimony sulfides. As is the case with most projects located near the Appleton Fault Corridor structural controls play an important part in the development of gold mineralization on the Property.

"Initial results from the first fourteen holes at the Williams Gold Property show robust gold mineralization within multiple fault systems. Golden Ridge is very excited to see the strong correlation between gold-in-soil anomalies and gold mineralization observed in core. Intersecting visible gold in the maiden program demonstrates the fertile nature of the Property. Broad intervals of shallow mineralization also suggest the potential for larger mineralized systems along strike and at depth. Relative to our peers in the area I think we are off to an exceptional start, and we are eagerly awaiting results from the remaining fifteen holes testing multiple zones within our 4km swath of Appleton Fault Corridor at the Williams Gold Property", stated Mike Blady, CEO and Director of Golden Ridge.

Sampling & Laboratory Methodology:

True widths of the report intersections have not been calculated at this time. Drilling was primarily conducted in HQ, however, NQ was used when ground conditions required it. Drill core was split using a diamond core cutting saw.

Samples were sent either to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland (for both sample preparation and fire assay) or to the Mobile Sample Preparation Unit (MSPU) of SGS Canada Inc. (SGS) in Grand Falls, Newfoundland for sample preparation, and then to the laboratory of SGS Canada Inc. in Burnaby, British Columbia for fire assay. Both laboratories are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Samples are analyzed for gold by fire assay using a 30g or 50g charge. Samples containing visible gold or greater than 1 g/t Au in fire assay were also assayed using the metallic screen method. Golden Ridge submits certified reference standards and blanks at a rate of approximately 5% of the sample total.
