"With our upcoming phase five drill program at the Gold Rock camp, we are set to build on the impressive results from our previous drilling phases. This program represents a crucial step in our strategy to unlock the full potential of the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone," said Trey Wasser, CEO and Director of Dryden Gold Corp.
Gold Rock Camp
The Gold Rock Camp area extends approximately 25 km along strike of the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone and is centrally located in the Dryden Gold land package (Figure 1). This region consists of historic mining and drilling and represents a brownfields opportunity for Dryden Gold. Geologically, this area is hosted by mafic volcanic flows that were intruded by syn-deformational felsic dykes with orogenic gold occurrences largely occurring within approximately 5 -10 km of major east and north-east trending deformation zones.

The Phase Five program will continue to advance the high-grade gold potential of the region by concentrating on the Big Master gold system. The planned holes are preferentially focused on the plunge extension of the historically defined high-grade shoot, the newly identified shoot from phases 1-4, and along strike extensional drilling to the southwest.
