Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. announced new results of outcrop samples taken on the Copper Ridge mineralized zone which returned high-grade values in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, located at the Company's fully owned Knauss Creek property, about 35 km northeast of Terrace, British Columbia. Following up on high-grade results previously reported on the Copper Ridge showing, additional sampling continues to return high-grade values of gold, silver copper lead and zinc  from the Copper Ridge mineralized zone.

The recent results continue to extend the area of mineralization and now stretches over an east-west length of 1,250 metres and a north-south length of 500 metres. The elevation differentiation is approximately 250 metres. In plan view, the zone is over twice as large as previously announced.

Further work will be completed to better define the metal zonation across this high-grade mineralized zone. Key Highlights from rock outcrop sampling: 15.90 g/t Au, 987 g/t Ag, 0.29 % Cu, 17.55 % Pb and 6.99 % Zn (W489424), 0.55 g/t Au, 2900 g/t Ag, 2.24 % Cu, 4.24 % Pb and 0.24 % Zn (W500261), 1.95 g/t Au, 1870g/t Ag and 5.93 % Cu (W489429), 1.97 g/t Au, 1775 g/t Ag and 3.20 % Cu (W500259), 1.67 g/t Au, 201 g/t Ag and 9.71 % Cu (W500257), and 0.73 g/t Au, 1105 g/t Ag, 1.67 % Cu, 0.65 % Pb and 0.28 % Zn (D791529). Located in the southern part of the Knauss Creek property, the Copper Ridge mineralized zone is now becoming a combination of several trends highlighted by the outcropping ridges extruding through fields of blocks and glacial till.

The samples of a high-grade cluster obtained with the previously published results has been extended toward the east, west and south. On the left side of Figure 3, the vein sampled (W489429) is within a shear zone transecting a weathered diorite. Several stains of malachite are visible in the walls rock.

Several sampled veins are in similar context. On the right side, the vein sampled (W489427) is visible going uphill several tens of metres. Structural measurements were taken when possible to aid in understanding the trends of mineralization for future drilling.

At this point, mainly veins bearing chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite, azurite and often galena and sphalerite, were sampled. The dominant host rock is interpreted to be a diorite. Gold equivalents were calculated with a gold price of $1,750/oz, silver at $21/oz, copper at $3.60/lbs, lead at $0.90/lbs and zinc at $1.00/lbs.

Outcrop samples are selective by nature and grades may not be representative of mineralized zones. True thickness or mineralization style and geological models cannot be determined with the information currently available. 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.
