Dryden Gold Corp. to report assay results from its Phase 4 drill program which successfully expanded the newly interpreted high-grade shoot that was discovered in the Phase 2 drilling program to depth. Hole KW-24-009 intersected four zones of mineralization in the Big Master gold system where it is interpreted that the mineralized zones area converging together.

The main target for this hole was Big Master 2 which returned 3.17 g/t gold over 4.00 meters including 19.34 g/t gold over 0.65 meters (Figure 1 and 2). Hole KW-24-009 also intersected a newly defined footwall zone that returned 1.38 g/t gold over 6.65 meters including 10.50 g/t gold over 0.80 meters. In addition, this drill hole intersected mineralization in a previously defined hanging wall zone and in the Big Master 1 vein structure at depth.

The Company drilled two holes to test for potential depth extension and to determine the direction of the plunge of the new high-grade shoot on BM2 which was theorized and successfully targeted in Phase 2 of the drill program with hole KW-23-010 (link to news release). Hole KW-24-009 was a step-out to the south and was drilled 100 meters down plunge of Phase 2 drilling. This hole intersected 3.17 g/t gold over 4.0 meters including 19.34 g/t gold over 0.65 meters.

These high-grade shoots typically have robust down plunge continuity. Figure 2 displays an updated contoured long section of BM2 and specifically highlights hole KW-23-009 as it is one of the deepest holes on the Big Master System. Through additional interpretation the geology team believes there is strong potential for this new high-grade shoot to come to surface and will test this in future drill phases.
