Golden Ridge Resources Announces Completion of Phase I Soil Sampling and Prospecting Program at the Williams Project



Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. ("Golden Ridge" or the "Company") (TSXV:GLDN) is pleased to announce the completion of a comprehensive Phase I soil sampling and prospecting program on the Williams Project, located strategically within New Found Gold Corps' Queensway Gold Project in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador

Highlights of the Phase I Williams Exploration Program

-A total of 44 rock1 samples were collected from various areas of interest

-A total of 1,094 soil samples were collected on a 100m x 100m grid covering the majority of the Williams project providing comprehensive geochemical coverage for further follow up prospecting and trenching (Fig. 1).

-Prospecting identified fourteen (14) distinct areas of altered and variably mineralized quartz veined outcrops (Fig. 2). The areas of interest correspond to current and previous rock, stream sediment, and till sampling Au anomalies*. These area's have been added into the Company's database for follow-up work.

All samples are currently at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland awaiting assays with results expected in the coming weeks. The Company will use these results to plan a Phase II program that will incorporate mechanical trenching and additional prospecting and mapping.

Michael Blady, President and CEO of Golden Ridge commented, "We are extremely encouraged by the mineralization and quartz veined outcrops discovered during the Phase I program on the underexplored Williams Project. Combined with the extensive soil grid completed, Golden Ridge will be well positioned to execute a Phase II trenching and prospecting program upon receiving assays from the Phase I work. We are also looking forward to kicking off our Phase I exploration program on the Heritage project as we continue to advance Golden Ridges' multiple Newfoundland exploration projects."
