To date, the Company has drilled a total of four phases at Gold Rock. Highlights from all four phases include:
Confirmed orientation, structural controls and expanded a historically delineated high-grade shoot on Big Master Two ("BM2") with hole KW-23-016 returning 3.81 g/t gold over 7.00 meters, including 71.00 g/t gold over 0.30 meters and KW-23-018: 6.66 g/t gold over 4.30 meters, including 44.80 g/t gold over 0.27 meters(Link to release)
Confirmed orientation, structural controls and expanded the Elora high-grade zone returning KW-24-008: 14.10 g/t gold over 7.54 meters, including 43.81 g/t gold over 1.42 meters and 92.10 g/t gold over 0.30 meters, and KW-24-003: 53.51 g/t gold over 1.05 meters, including 181.00 g/t gold over 0.30 meters(Link to release).

"With our upcoming phase five drill program at the Gold Rock camp, we are set to build on the impressive results from our previous drilling phases. This program represents a crucial step in our strategy to unlock the full potential of the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone," said Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp.
Gold Rock Camp
The Gold Rock Camp area extends approximately 25 km along strike of the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone and is centrally located in the Dryden Gold land package (Figure 1). This region consists of historic mining and drilling and represents a brownfields opportunity for Dryden Gold. Geologically, this area is hosted by mafic volcanic flows that were intruded by syn-deformational felsic dykes with orogenic gold occurrences largely occurring within approximately 5 -10 km of major east and north-east trending deformation zones.

The Phase Five program will continue to advance the high-grade gold potential of the region by concentrating on the Big Master gold system. The planned holes are preferentially focused on the plunge extension of the historically defined high-grade shoot, the newly identified shoot from phases 1-4, and along strike extensional drilling to the southwest.
