Commencement Of Drill Campaign At The Gold Rock Camp

VANCOUVER - Dryden Gold Corp. announced the start of the 2025 Drill Campaign. The current phase of the 2025 program is expected to be approximately 1,200 meters at Gold Rock. The first phase will target the down plunge extension of the Elora target, testing the structure to 300 meters true depth. With deeper testing and along strike testing planned for the second phase of the 2025 drill program.

The 2025 drill campaign will be ongoing throughout the 2025 calendar year and will be made up of smaller phases ranging from 1500-3000 meters. The geology team gains great value from this phased drilling approach, allowing geologists time to integrate the newest data into the geological interpretation prior to planning additional drilling.

"We are very excited to continue to test the Elora Structure at depth along the plunge," stated Trey Wasser, CEO. "As we continue to test deeper at Gold Rock, we can show that the Dryden Gold District is a true Archean Lode system that likely has very deep roots. With a fully funded treasury this should be a transformational year for Dryden Gold."

Dryden Gold prioritized regional targets for the 2024 relogging campaign primarily focused on Sherridon and the Gold Rock target - Mosher Bay, where limited historical drilling had taken place and was only selectively sampled by the previous operator The geology team is using the new data from the relogging campaign along with the 2024 summer mapping data to create geological models and improve high-grade targeting for these two high priority targets. The geological interpretations, field results and further exploration plans for these targets will be released in the coming weeks.

Due to time constraints, the geological team prioritized regional targets over the Gold Rock Camp historical core to be able to better understand and rank these target areas. The Dryden district has seen limited academic research and little systematic exploration. Revisiting the previous drill core will be very helpful in gaining geological perspective and unlocking controls of gold mineralization. By utilizing the historical core, Dryden Gold has better understanding about the gold bearing lithologies, sample the previously untested rocks to gain insights into the possibility of halo mineralization and alteration which can also help when doing regional exploration to vector into potentially mineralized zones.

Relogging will continue through 2025 with regional exploration targets prioritized to be relogged first, with select Gold Rock Camp holes being revisited to better understand the hanging-wall and footwall mineralization potential of the Big Master structures.
