Sheridan Gold Discovery Second Pass Drilling

VANCOUVER – Dryden Gold Corp. reports on second pass drilling at its Sherridon gold discovery. This includes a broad interval of near surface gold mineralization in hole DSH-004 which returned 1.10 g/t gold over 15.50 metres, including 0.50 metres grading 25.20 g/t gold. Hole DSH-004 was drilled 150.00 meters east and expands the mineralization that was intersected by hole DSH-25-001. The 2026 follow up program at Sherridon consisted of three holes testing large step outs. Drill hole DH-004 was 150 meters east on strike from hole DSH-25-001 while DSH-005 was 300 meters to the southeast. The last hole of the program was approximately one kilometer west-northwest of the initial drill program designed to test the high-mag anomaly and the shear zone’s regional potential.
Preliminary review of the multi-element geochemical data from the 2025 drill program indicates a single fluid signature for the gold mineralization at Sherridon that shows distinct mineralogical, alteration and geochemically attributes which differ from those associated with gold mineralization in the Gold Rock camp to the northwest. The 2025 Sherridon property-wide till substrate sampling program totaled 1,226 samples which were collected at a 200m by 500m spacing across the property. This data, together with drill hole geochemistry and the ongoing 3-D geophysical inversion studies at Sherridon, are guiding follow-up exploration planning and broader regional targeting across the Sherridon land package. Initial interpretations suggest the potential for an intrusion related source for the Sherridon mineralization opening the potential for vectoring toward the source intrusion in future testing.
Maura Kolb, President, said, “The mineralization at Sherridon is very different from anything we have encountered in the Dryden Gold District. From our initial logging, the geology team noticed different textures and fabrics to the mineralized zones. Initial geochemistry from the 2025 drill program is supporting a very different deposit model. Our team believes that what we have encountered, to date on the Sherridon Property, represents alteration and halo mineralization to a much larger system. The newly received till substrate results and ongoing 3-D geophysical inversion studies will be used to target the source or the major trap for mineralization at Sherridon. Mapping and Prospecting this summer will focus on outlining the true potential at Sherridon.”
