About Skull Ridge Resources.

Skull Ridge Resources. is advancing its district-scale Heritage Gold-Silver Project on the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland, encompassing approximately 145 km Superscript 2 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 multi-kilometre mineralized system with 21 high-priority drill targets and known occurrences of high-grade silver, gold, and base metals. The property offers significant multi-commodity 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.
