The Property is located in Ontario, 110 km southwest of the city of Timmins, and is accessible by highway and secondary roads (Figure 1).
Raney Property – Location
Rockridge recenlty completed eight diamond drill holes in a 2,000-metre diamond drilling program at its Raney Gold Project. The 2023 drill program continued to expand the central Raney Gold Zone and tested the extension of the Raney Zone in the east and the west directions. Alteration associated with the gold mineralization is coincident with a distinct magnetic low signature. Notably, numerous holes including the step out holes intersected mineralization. Assays are pending from the program and will be released once collected and analyzed.
A total of 2,070 metres in nine diamond drill holes were completed during the program to assess the potential of the Raney Gold Project (Table 1).

Detailed logging and sampling of the early 2020 drill program core has been completed. A summary of assay results are reported below:

Raney Property – 2020 Drill Hole Location Map
The Spring 2020 drill program focused on the main zone over a strike extent of approximately 225 metres that produced the best historic intercept of 6.5 g/t gold over 8 metres. The deepest hole of the current program tested down to the 260-metre level.
Silicification and minor carbonate alteration were recognized, however gold mineralization appears to be closely related to intervals of high quartz vein density. The quartz veins are hosted in a steeply dipping alteration zone dominated by intermediate volcanic rocks consisting of lapilli tuffs and bedded argillites, with lamprophyre dikes. The quartz veins crosscut and run parallel to a weak fabric, and range in thickness from 0.5 cm to 20 cm in width.
A zone of increased vein density has been noted where the historic visible gold intercepts occur. The high-grade intercept of 28 g/t over 6 metres from the Spring 2020 program was the fourth drill hole on the Property to intercept visible gold, and all these occurrences were in the main zone near the 100-metre level.
The broad structural corridor that hosts the mineralization is up to 125 metres wide and extends well beyond the area tested by drilling. Historic mapping and surface sampling data show that the corridor may extend over several hundred metres. No drilling has been conducted along this corridor except for the ~225-metre-long main zone (Figure 3).
A notable disruption in the airborne magnetic data approximately 2 km west of the past drilling is being tested in the current drill program. The target is in line with the projected structural corridor identified by historical results.

A total of 2,965 metres in eleven diamond drill holes were completed during the program to evaluate the down-plunge and strike extent of the Raney Gold Zone.

A summary of assay results for nine holes are reported below:
True widths are not estimated at this time.
The drill program was designed to evaluate a number of exploration ideas/concepts including testing the down plunge and depth continuity of high-grade gold mineralization intersected in previously drilled holes; testing the eastward and westward continuity of the Raney Gold Zone as suggested by a well-defined magnetic low signature along strike as identified from a drone survey; testing a relatively underexplored feldspar porphyry unit, and testing a newly identified magnetic signature along strike to the Raney Gold Zone that exhibited a distinct fold geometry.
