Dryden Gold enlarging Gold Rock Gold System, Ontario
Dryden Gold Corp. [TSXV: DRY; OTCQX: DRYGF; FSE: X7W] reported additional assays results from the ongoing drill campaign at the Gold Rock Gold System. Gold Rock is located off Highway 502 (Trans-Canada Highway), south of Dryden, Ontario, with direct access to infrastructure that supports efficient, year-round exploration.
Since the initial drill program, completed in 2024, Gold Rock has grown from three widely spaced parallel mineralized structures to a robust gold system with 15 mineralized structures over a kilometer in width and two kilometers in strike length.
Gold Rock remains open in all directions. The system features different styles of gold mineralization including high-grade free gold in quartz veins with lower grade halos, wide shear structures with disseminated sulphides and sheared basalts.
Discovery of new parallel structures within this system adds an additional area of potentially minable ounces within the existing footprint. Recent results include Hole DGR-078 which intersected a new mineralized structure assaying 8.57 g/t gold over 1.10 metres, less than 20 metres from known mineralization.
Hole DGR-087 was a step-out of over 400 metres on strike and returned 3.23 g/t gold over 1.60 metres. New high-grade results from the Elora Hanging Wall area returned 12.62 g/t gold over 1.85 metres including 54.40 g/t gold over 0.40 metres at approximately 160 metres true depth.
Drillhole DGR-081 in the Sparrow area of Gold Rock returned 10.00 metres at 0.54 g/t gold. DGR-082 in the Gap area returned 1.85 metres at 12.62 g/t gold, including 0.40 metres at 54.40 g/t gold. DGR-090 in the Treasure area returned 9.50 metres at 2.07 g/t gold, including 0.85 metres at 6.70 g/t gold and including 0.50 metres at 5.24 g/t gold. DGR-090 in the Barrelman area returned 30.00 metres at 0.25 g/t gold, including 12.00 metres at 0.34 g/t gold and including 5.00 metres at 0.46 g/t gold. Reported intervals are drilled core lengths, true width is unknown, assay values are uncut.
Maura Kolb, M.Sc., P.Geo, Dryden’s President commented, “We continue to discover additional mineralized structures at Gold Rock with nearly every exploration hole. Investors should recognize the significant evolution of the Gold Rock Gold System. What was initially interpreted as a relatively narrow, high-grade vein system is emerging as a much more extensive gold system with open-pit potential, while continuing to demonstrate numerous high-grade zones. Our current objective is to fill in the Gold Rock Gold System where the drilling is sparse, an area we have often referred to as the ‘Gap’. We believe that expanding and infilling the Gold Rock System will continue to add ounces to this near surface footprint.”
Dryden Gold controls 100% interest in mining claims in a dominant strategic land position in the Dryden District of northwestern Ontario. The property hosts high-grade gold mineralization over 50km of potential strike length along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone.
The property has excellent infrastructure, enjoys collaborative relationships with First Nations communities and benefits from proximity to an experienced mining workforce.
