Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. announced results of surface geological works at the Dorreen Mine and surrounding area, situated within the Company's fully owned Knauss Creek property, located 35km northeast of Terrace, BC. Those results are part of an ongoing aggressive surface exploration campaign designed to follow up on historic showings and other targets across the entire property. Sampling was completed at the Dorreen Mine that was developed in 1924, 1926 and in 1952. Production information in historical reports is inconsistent. It is reasonable to estimate that about 700 tons at 16.8 g/t Au, 58 g/t Ag, 0.22% of Cu, 2.1% of Pb and 1.4% of Zn were mined from a quartz vein (not 43-101 compliant). Outcrop sampling of the quartz vein that remains accessible in the underground adits from the Doreen mine returned: 21.70 g/t Au (W384759), 22.80 g/t Au (W384760),
12.00 g/t Au (W384814), and 11.55 g/t Au (W386163). In addition, surface prospecting and mapping has discovered a number of new veins in outcrops. These veins are interpreted to form part of a larger network of veins covering a larger area than previously interpreted. An outcrop sample collected 50m southwest, at 75m higher elevation from the mine, returned: 7.12 g/t Au (W384720); From two other adits located 100m southwest, at 100m higher elevation from the mine, outcrop samples collected gave: 36.20 g/t Au (W386156), 19.35 g/t Au (W384675). While scouting the area, an outcrop with a quartz vein, containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite, was sampled (W384720) and gave 7.12 g/t Au, 108 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 4.74% Pb and 1.45% Zn. A gold equivalent of 11.41 g/t was calculated. This outcrop is located some 50m southwest of the extremity of the mine and at 75m higher elevation. Rock samples were assayed for gold by standard 50 g fire-assaying with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24) or gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) or 1000g metallic
screening (Au_SCR24) at ALS Canada in Terrace, British Columbia. The samples were also assayed for 35 metals from an aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41). For samples with overlimit results in silver, copper, lead and zinc aqua regia with ICP finish was used (OG46 ore grade). A quality assurance/quality control program has been implemented and consists of inserting standards on a regular basis in the samples stream.
