Dryden Gold Expands the Gold Rock Camp with High-Grade Discoveries at Mud Lake

DRY · Price

Executive Summary

  • Dryden Gold reported intersecting a quartz vein with 43.10 g/t Au over 0.50 m and surface samples up to 93.00 g/t Au, indicating high‑grade gold potential at the Mud Lake target in the Gold Rock Camp.
  • The step‑out drilling confirms the company’s hypothesis of periodic, sub‑parallel gold‑bearing structures along the Manitou‑Dinorwic Deformation Zone, supporting further exploration upside.
  • A webinar will be held on 4 Dec 2025 to present a 2025 program overview and preview the 2026 drill campaign.

Key Details

  • Target Area: Mud Lake (2 km NE of main Gold Rock target) – step‑out drilling to test periodicity of high‑grade structures.
  • Drill Hole DML-25‑002: 0.50 m interval from 76.50 m to 77.00 m depth, 43.10 g/t Au (Table 1).
  • Other notable intercepts:
  • DML-25‑001: 25.10 m @ 0.33 g/t Au; 3.30 m @ 2.18 g/t Au.
  • DML-25‑003: 4.04 m @ 0.83 g/t Au; 1.83 m @ 1.63 g/t Au (included).
  • Surface sampling (North Mud Lake): Highest grade 93.00 g/t Au from a quartz‑ankerite vein within quartz‑feldspar porphyry (Table 2). Additional samples range 0.56–19.80 g/t Au.
  • Geological interpretation: Mapping shows a flexure/bend in the mineralized trend; QFP rocks host mineralization similar to “Big Master” and “Elora” systems. The Pincher deformation zone may act like the Elora shear, potentially hosting wider zones of gold.
  • Future work: Ongoing data analysis to plan permitting and further drilling at Mud Lake; 2026 drill program under development.
  • Webinar: Hosted with KE Report on 4 Dec 2025, 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET – free registration.
  • Qualified Person: Maura J. Kolb, M.Sc., P.Geo., President of Dryden Gold (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“One of our four major objectives in the 2025 exploration program was to validate our theory of periodicity of deposits… This type of structural repetition is the foundation of many high‑performing gold camps and signals meaningful upside for ongoing exploration.” – Trey Wasser, CEO
