VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (the "Company", "Prospect Ridge" or "we") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce the Company's plans for 2022 and provide a year-end recap for 2021.

2022 has started off with the Company in a very strong position following a successful 2021 with the continuation of prospecting and compiling our data throughout the winter in preparation for drilling set to start immediately when our permits are in place. Drilling permits are expected to be received over the next couple of months, and the Company has a drill on standby for immediate execution on multiple locations that are drill-ready. The team is very excited across the board.

Around 50% of the assays from 2021 are still pending and expected to return steadily over the coming months, with some of the samples showing visible gold. We look forward to them with great anticipation and will release them as they become available.

In 2021, the Company completed two major acquisitions of the Holy Grail and Knauss Creek mines, creating a district size scale property located in Northern British Columbia. A total of 6 zones showing visible gold have been identified with new preliminary results of up to 117 grams per tonne gold and 4740 grams per tonne silver. The Company also appointed the co-founder and former chairman of Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., Michael Iverson, as its new CEO and director.

The Company is primarily listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, is quoted in the United States on the OTCQB, and is listed in Europe on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. To date, Prospect Ridge has raised over $8.5 million and has over $5.2 million in the bank. There are currently 14 new showings in our district along with a past-producing high grade mine that is still in place. We are very excited and expect to continue to have great early success in 2022 with our inaugural drill program.

Our team will be continuing to prospect through winter and start drilling in early spring. We are also still waiting on 50% of the assays from this past summer and will be sharing the results as they come in."

About Holy Grail

The Holy Grail Property is 10 kilometers outside of Terrace within 45 km from a smelter and deep sea port. The property is easy-accessible bounded by two highways with CN rail, high tension power crossing the property and a network of logging roads over approximately 80% of the property which will make for a very cost-effective exploration and strong feasibility. Some of the key areas are located below tree line and can be worked nearly year-round.

The Holy Grail district sized package now contains over 80,000 hectares. The property was selected based on regional geological, structural, and geochemical resemblances that coincide with mineralization 50 km northwest in the Golden Triangle. The Company believe the project has the potential for a district scale hydrothermal system and will extend the boundaries of the Golden Triangle to cover this vast under-explored region.
