VANCOUVER, Oct. 28, 2015 /CNW/ - Rye Patch Gold Corp (TSX.V: RPM; OTCQX: RPMGF; FWB: 5TN) (the "Company" or "Rye Patch") announces the commencement of drilling at it 100% owned Gold Ridge project located within the greater Lincoln Hill gold and silver deposit complex. 

The Gold Ridge project, located 1.5 km west of the Lincoln Hill gold and silver resource, is a potential satellite deposit.  Past drilling shows near-surface gold and silver mineralized traceable for 6 kilometres in a north-south direction.  As reported on September 15, 2014, gold and silver mineralization are associated with a north-south oriented anticline and associated low-angle fault zone.  Past drilling in the northern portion of the anomaly returned significant drillhole intersections including 0.67 g/t Au, 28.5 g/t Ag (1.24 g/t AuEq) over 19.8 metres and 1.3 g/t Au, 12.2 g/t Ag, (1.54 g/t AuEq) over 10.7 metres.

The drilling program has 12 drillholes totaling 5,000 feet.  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved this program under a notice of intent; however, a larger and more encompassing Plan of Operations permit will allow for in-fill drilling and bulk sampling at the Lincoln Hill gold and silver deposit along with in-fill and exploration drilling at Gold Ridge and Independence Hill is pending at this time.
