SRCGF - Spruce Ridge Acquires Large Land Package with Gold Exploration Potential
(TheNewswire)
September 14, 2021 – TheNewswire - Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SHL) (OTC:SRCGF) - (“Spruce Ridge” orthe “Company”) is pleased to announce it hasacquired from a private company 767 claims totaling 19,175 hectareswhich are contiguous to the current Great Burnt Copper-Gold Property. With this new addition, Spruce Ridge’s land position has increasedto 26,000 hectares.
The newly acquired claims cover a large, previouslyunexplored area underlain by Lower Paleozoic siliciclastic rocks,similar to those hosting recently discovered gold deposits on theQueensway Project of New Found Gold Corp. and the Moosehead Project ofSokoman Minerals Corp. Re-interpretation of province-wide airbornemagnetic data has indicated previously undocumented structuralcomplexity, including a regional-scale fold and possible crustal-scalefault structures similar to the structures that are now known tolocalize gold mineralization in Central Newfoundland. The foldfeature may cause the mineralized horizon containing the Great Burntcopper deposit and the South Pond gold and copper-gold zones to berepeated on the western limb. Local magnetic anomalies have beeninterpreted as possible ophiolite slivers along a northeast-trendingstructure that may be similar to the GRUB line.

John Ryan, CEO of Spruce Ridge Resources stated “We are excited bythis opportunity to enter the Central Newfoundland gold rush at thegrass-roots level. Spruce Ridge will shortly be drilling the SouthPond “B” gold zone, a 1.2-kilometer-long zone of strata-bound goldthat was last drilled in the 1980s. These newly acquired claims giveus the chance to expand our gold focus to include a large area ofprospective ground that has seen little or no historical exploration. The magnetic interpretation indicates that the new claims mayinclude deep crustal structures like the Appleton Fault and the GRUBline, with the gold potential that they imply. Our first step willbe an airborne magnetic and EM survey, with subsequent groundfollow-up”
Spruce Ridge will pay the vendors staking fees of$49,855 and will issue 2 million Spruce Ridge shares with the firstmillion shares to be issued upon approval and the second millionshares will be issued after receiving the results of a MagneticGradiometer survey over the property. This acquisition is subject toTSX Venture approval.
