[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rockridge Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB: RRRLF) (Frankfurt: RR0) (“Rockridge”) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a 2,965 metre diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Raney Gold Project located southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada (the “Raney Gold Project” or “Property”). A total of 11 drill holes were completed to evaluate the down plunge and strike extent of the Raney Gold Zone. Assays have been received for 9 of the 11 holes with gold mineralization intersected in all but two holes. Drill hole RN 20-13 returned 2.5 g/t Au over 13.0m from 133.0m to 146.0m including 3.41 g/t Au over 9.0m from 135.0m to 144.0m and including 9.6 g/t Au over 2.0m from 135.0m to 137.0m. Furthermore, exploratory drill hole RN 20-18 was a significant step out hole along strike 250m to the west of the main zone and returned 1.36 g/t Au over 9.0m from 141.0m to 150.0m including 2.1 g/t Au over 4.0m from 141.0m to 145.0m. Raney Gold Project Location Map: http://www.rockridgeresourcesltd.com/_resources/maps/location_map_may2020a.jpg 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. Rockridge’s CEO, Grant Ewing, commented: “The main zone of the Raney Gold Project has returned significant high-grade gold results from previous drilling campaigns, and the current program was designed to test the depth and strike extent of the mineralization outside of this zone. A very encouraging aspect of the program is the potential extension of the Raney Gold Zone to the west where hole RN 20-18 intersected gold in a strongly altered section with quartz veins 250 metres west of the main zone.” Jordan Trimble, Rockridge’s President, commented: “We are very pleased to have gold mineralization in almost every hole reported thus far from the recent drill program...
