Dryden Gold Corp. ($DRY) is excited to unveil the findings from its regional gold-in-till exploration campaign, revealing multiple gold anomalies across its extensive land package in British Columbia. The results, particularly encouraging around the Gold Rock Camp, indicate a significant anomaly at the Company's Hyndman project. Following these promising results, Dryden Gold has staked over 5,200 additional hectares at Hyndman.
Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold, expressed, "These results mark an important step forward in defining the district-scale potential of our large strategic land package. We are especially pleased with Hyndman where sampling revealed multiple anomalies that were much stronger and extensive than we had expected and led directly to a strategic land expansion. These results reinforce that Dryden Gold's property represents Canada’s newest gold district and positions the Company to aggressively advance exploration for significant gold deposits."
Exploration Overview
Gold-in-Till, or till substrate sampling, involves collecting B and C horizon material developed over glacial till to analyze the geochemistry and mineral content for mineral exploration. During the summer of 2025, Dryden Gold completed a systematic geochemical screening program, collecting 3,816 soil samples at a 200m x 500m spacing using an auger to sample the "B" and "C" horizons.
The results indicated multiple significant anomalies clustered along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone (MDdz), a prominent D2 structure on the property. This corridor hosts the Gold Rock area and now displays many additional anomalies extending 65 kilometers across Dryden's property. Anomalies appear preferentially clustered around areas where D2 and older east-west D1 structures intersect, suggesting these high-strain corridors are structural controls for gold mineralization. The survey has also outlined multiple regional target areas with minimal historical exploration at Avery and Sandybeach to the north.
Arsenic Anomalies and Future Plans
A strong arsenic anomaly trends along the MDdz, where arsenic is recognized as a key pathfinder element for Archean orogenic gold systems. Conversely, the Hyndman area shows a notable absence of anomalous arsenic, indicating a different mineralization model with an alternate pathfinder signature.
Looking ahead, Dryden Gold is planning additional Gold-in-Till work for the 2026 field season, which may include sampling on newly acquired ground, tighter-spaced geochemical sampling, and heavy-mineral concentrate (HMC) surveys.
Qualified Person and QA/QC Procedures
The technical disclosure in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Maura J. Kolb, M.Sc., P. Geo., President of Dryden Gold and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
All 2025 soil samples were collected by consultants of Dryden Gold using a hand auger in the field targeting the 'C' and 'B' horizon soil. Samples were bagged and transported to crew facilities where certified reference materials were inserted at regular intervals. Sample preparation and analysis were completed by ALS Canada Ltd., adhering to ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines.
