Golden Ridge Commences Initial Work Program on its 52,442-Hectare Ball Creek Project

22.08.2019  |  The Newswire

TheNewswire - August 22, 2019 - Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSXV:GLDN) ("Golden Ridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced its initial work program on it's recently optioned 52,552-Hectare Ball Creek Project ("Ball Creek" or the "Project") (see July 9, 2019 news release). The Ball Creek Project fully surrounds the Company's 100% owned Hank Project where the company has made multiple drilling discoveries over the past three exploration seasons. The Ball Creek Project hosts seven highly prospective gold-copper porphyry targets (Main, Cliff, Goat, ME, Rainbow, Mess Creek, More Creek) and four epithermal gold-silver targets (Ridge, Valley, HP, Rojo Grande) many of which will be the focus of the work program. Golden Ridge's Initial Ball Creek exploration program will focus on several of the known targets, as well the extension zones surrounding select targets and over areas where minimal historic work has been completed and will include:

- Regional geochemical program collecting of up to 4000 soil samples as well as detailed geological mapping and prospecting to identify new targets;

- Deep diamond drilling to test the southwest extension of the Main Zone, which remains open, as well as for the potential of increased grades at depth.

- Testing the Goat Zone which has never been drilled (potential SW extension of same system); and

- Preliminary prospecting and mapping of the Main, Cliff, Goat and ME zones all of which may be part of a single 10 kilometer long porphyry system.

Michael Blady, CEO of Golden Ridge, commented: "We are extremely excited to commence work at Ball Creek. The underexplored land package has not seen diamond drilling since Blue Gold drilled it in 2012 and found evidence of promising gold-copper mineralization. Our 2019 Ball Creek program will combine regional geochemical sampling and geological mapping with diamond drilling to provide a preliminary test our most advanced targets. The regional program is expected to generate additional high-quality targets to be followed-up in the future."

About the Ball Creek Project

The Ball Creek Project is a large, 524 square kilometre copper-gold porphyry and epithermal gold-silver Project located in northwest British Columbia's Golden Triangle, intersecting Highway 37 and the 287 kV Northwest Transmission Line. The Ball Creek contains four separate porphyry copper systems distributed across the Project found in similar geological settings to the Red Chris*, KSM*, Spectrum/GJ*, and Snip* mineral deposits.

Significant exploration potential exists at the Mess Creek, More Creek, Rainbow, and Ball Creek porphyry systems. The Ball Creek porphyry has received the majority of past exploration, with the other significant porphyry targets remaining largely unexplored.

The Ball Creek Project has had over 19,000 metres of drilling** on it with the majority (~11,000m) focused on the Main Zone. Drilling in the main zone by previous operators intersected 231 meters grading 0.21% copper and 0.54 g/t gold in drill hole BC07-12 and including 45.72 metres grading 0.31% copper and 0.69 g/t gold.** The Main Zone mineralization is hosted in a sub-vertical, northeast-striking porphyry complex that is 500 metres wide and 1,300 metres long and intrudes andesitic volcanic rocks. A complex alteration system is centered on the porphyry complex and comprises a core of sodic and potassic alteration that is overprinted, overlain and flanked by sericite-dominant alteration and peripheral propylitic alteration developed in the enclosing andesitic rocks.
