VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2025 / Prospect Ridge Resources Corp.(the "Company" or "Prospect Ridge") (CSE:PRR)(OTCQB:PRRSF)(FRA:OED) is pleased to provide updates for their Knauss Creek, Holy Grail, Castle, and Excalibur projects.
Start of Knauss Creek and Holy Grail Programs
Prospect Ridge is pleased to announce that on July 15, crews from Equity Exploration Consultants Inc. began a program of prospecting, mapping, and soil sampling on 17 high priority exploration targets on the Company's Knauss Creek and Holy Grail projects located just north of Terrace, B.C.
The 4-week program will be based at the Company's fully equipped camp in Terrace, B.C. and will utilize the Company's fleet of trucks and all terrain vehicles, along with helicopter support. The goal of the program is to identify drill targets on the fully drill permitted Knauss Creek and Holy Grail projects that occupy a combined area of 625.5 km2.
Closing of Castle and Excalibur Acquisitions
The Company also confirms that its previously announced options to acquire a
Castle and Excalibur Exploration Programs
At Castle, a combined airborne magnetic and radiometric survey is planned over the entire property. The magnetic survey will be followed up by an eight line-km Induced Polarization ("IP") survey covering the north and west Castle gossan slopes. Concurrently, a program of prospecting and mapping will be conducted over both the Castle and Abbey gossans.
At Excalibur, an initial one week program of mapping, prospecting, and outcrop sampling will begin on July 22 and will be followed by line-brushing to support up to 40 line -km of IP survey at a line spacing of 200 m and in the vicinity of the high Cu soil samples collected in 2019 and 2021. A recent property visit by Prospect Ridge management has confirmed that commercial logging activity has cleared much of the target area for the IP survey and may reduce the number of line kilometres that will need to be brushed (Figure 1).
The object of the initial work programs on both projects is to provide multiple drill targets for a minimum 2,000 metre diamond drill program on each project contemplated for as early as the summer of 2026, pending receipt of drill permits that will be applied for after the conclusion of the current work programs in Fall, 2025.
