Golden Ridge Resources Ltd. announced that the 2022 exploration season at the Williams Gold Property, that is surrounded by New Found Gold Corp. (NFGC)'s Queensway South Gold Property in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is currently underway. Building on the success of previous prospecting, trenching, geophysical and geochemical programs, Golden Ridge has commenced additional high-density soil sampling to extend previously delineated gold-in-soil anomalies.

These anomalies are mostly coincident with the interpreted Appleton and Dog Bay Fault Corridors that transect the property. The maiden diamond-drilling program at Williams is expected to commence in the coming days and will target the robust gold-in-soil and gold in trench anomalies located in the south and central portions of the property where a minimum of 5,000 meters of diamond drilling will be conducted in this maiden drill program. Additional details on drilling will be released in due course.
