Dryden Gold Expands Mineralized Trend at Gold Rock Camp

Jan 30, 2025


Dryden Gold has reported promising results from its 2024 summer sampling and mapping campaign at the Gold Rock Camp in Northwestern Ontario. The company’s exploration efforts have extended a key mineralized trend by two kilometers to the northeast, with multiple high-grade surface samples reinforcing the project’s potential.

The sampling program returned six samples exceeding 5 g/t gold, including standout values of 24.2 g/t, 9.54 g/t, and 9.13 g/t. The company has also submitted an exploration drill permit for the northern extension of the Elora and Mud Lake areas, marking a significant step in its ongoing district-wide exploration strategy.

Advancing a High-Grade Gold Target

"The extension of mineralization northeast from Elora and Big Master presents an excellent exploration opportunity for Dryden Gold. We are pleased to have six surface samples grading over 5 g/t gold on the northern extension at the Mud Lake Target. These excellent grades from our surface rock sampling program are foundational for planning additional fieldwork and future drill targets at Mud Lake," said President Maura J. Kolb.

The Mud Lake target area, located two kilometers northeast of the Gold Rock Camp’s Laurentian Mine, has confirmed three distinct mineralized structures. The eastern structure returned the highest grade at 24.2 g/t gold, while the central and western structures yielded 6.26 g/t and 4.69 g/t gold, respectively. The eastern structure’s strike length is approximately one kilometer and remains open for further expansion.

Strategic Exploration Approach

Dryden Gold has completed a 3-D geophysical inversion with Mira Geosciences and leveraged outside consultants to identify structural anomalies at Mud Lake. The company’s recent success in testing these geophysical anomalies at both Hyndman and Mud Lake has strengthened confidence in its approach. Future work will focus on additional under-explored anomalies further to the northeast along the Gold Rock Trend.

"With the success we have seen using these geophysical anomalies at Hyndman and now on Mud Lake, we are excited to plan more field work exploring our other under-explored anomalies this year like the target further to the northeast on the Gold Rock Trend," said Kolb.

Next Steps and 2025 Exploration Planning

Dryden Gold’s geology team is integrating newly acquired LiDAR data from the 2024 survey into its exploration models. As remaining 2024 results are returned and final interpretations are completed, the company will finalize its 2025 summer field campaign.

The company has applied for a drill permit to test the Mud Lake extension and plans to refine exploration targets through further geophysical studies. With a dominant land position in the Dryden District and historic gold mines that have seen limited modern exploration, Dryden Gold remains focused on unlocking the district’s high-grade gold potential.
