PROSPECT RIDGE ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF COPPER RIDGE DRILL PROGRAM AT KNAUSS CREEK PROJECT

Prospect Ridge Resources Corp . (the " Company " or " Prospect Ridge ") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its inaugural drilling program at the Copper Ridge zone within the Knauss Creek property, located south of the Golden Triangle, near Terrace, British Columbia . These are the first drill holes in a newly identified target. The data collected from these first-ever drill holes will help inform the next steps in the Company's exploration program at Knauss Creek.

Knauss Creek Project Update

The drill program included a total of 2,229 metres in nine (9) drill holes. The program was designed to test high-priority targets identified through extensive prospecting and surface sampling, including previous outcrop samples with significant values of up to 78.9 g/t gold, 4,610 g/t silver and 29.4% copper.

Key Program Highlights

A total of nine (9) drill holes were completed for a combined length of 2,229 metres.
The drilling focused on the highest vein density areas where high-grade results on outcrop samples were obtained.
Assay results are expected to begin arriving in the next six weeks, with additional results continuing to be reported through late November.
The drill holes confirmed the presence of mineralized quartz veins like the ones sampled on surface, but also revealed the presence of mineralization in the host rock.
Prospect Ridge remains well-funded, having recently completed an over-subscribed private placement of more than $5.2 million , ensuring continued exploration and development of the property.

"We are pleased to announce the completion of this important first drill program at the Copper Ridge zone," stated Michael Iverson , CEO of Prospect Ridge. "The nine drill holes completed during the program will provide critical information to assess the geometry, type and extent of the mineralized system we discovered last year. With assay results expected in the next six weeks, we are eager to share our findings with our shareholders and to determine the next steps in our exploration program both on the Knauss Creek and Holy Grail properties."

A total of 1,914 samples have been submitted for multi-element analysis, the results of which are pending.
