Rockridge Resources Ltd. announced its plans for an upcoming drill program at its high-grade, 100% owned Raney Gold Project located southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada (the "Raney Gold Project" or the "Property"). The drill program will be designed to evaluate the strike, depth and expansion potential of the high-grade zones of gold mineralization discovered in previous drilling. Rockridge is currently fully funded and permitted for the program with plans to commence drilling shortly.

The project is road accessible with nearby infrastructure to help bring down the cost of exploration and drilling. Rockridge plans for an initial drill program that will consist of a minimum 2,500m of drilling in 10-12 diamond drill holes with the potential to be expanded. The historical geophysics and previous drilling, including hole RAN-20-06 which returned 27.9 g/t Au over 6.0m at approximately 100m vertical depth, has identified several key structures that could potentially be host to new high-grade gold zones.

This drill program will utilize all exploration data to date with the goal to test the strike potential and depth continuity of high-grade gold mineralization intersected in previous holes. Specifically, the Company plans on testing the eastward and westward continuity of the Main Raney Gold Zone where there is a coincident geophysical anomaly that has yet to be drill tested. The Raney Gold Project is strategically located within the highly prospective west extension of the Abitibi Greenstone belt, proximal to several regional deposits.

Newmont's operating Borden Gold Mine (reserves of 4.17 MT @ 6.38 g/t Au for ~860k oz. Au reported in 2015) is located 35 km west of Raney. IAMGOLD and JV partner Sumitomo Metals Mining recently decided to proceed with construction of their Cote gold project located 75 km southeast of Raney.
