About Skull Ridge Gold Corp.

Skull Ridge is advancing its district-scale Heritage gold-silver project on the Burin peninsula in Newfoundland, encompassing approximately 145 square kilometres of contiguous mineral claims. The project lies within one of Atlantic Canada's most prospective and underexplored epithermal belts. Heritage is hosted along the Point May epithermal zone, a multikilometre mineralized system with 21 high-priority drill targets and known occurrences of high-grade silver, gold and base metals. The property offers significant multicommodity upside across a largely underexplored land package. The company's next phase of exploration will focus on expanding drilling along the Eagle zone and advancing toward an updated resource estimate.

We seek Safe Harbor.
