Vancouver, British Columbia — April 10, 2025 — Dryden Gold Corp. [TSXV: DRY] (“Dryden Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company was approved for a CAD $200,000 grant from the government of Ontario under the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (“OJEP”). The OJEP program is designed to promote exploration with Junior Explorers in the province of Ontario. Eligible companies can receive up to $200,000 per project to cover up to 50% of the exploration costs of a program. This grant will be used by Dryden Gold on the Gold Rock Camp exploration program.
Dryden Gold is currently drill testing new targets at the Gold Rock Camp. The Company has an aggressive exploration plan for 2025 and expects to drill up to 15,000 meters. The near-term exploration targets for Dryden Gold will be to test the Elora Gold System at depth and previously untested structural intersection targets along strike.
“Our government is committed to unlocking Ontario’s rich critical minerals to drive our economic growth and create good-paying jobs,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “With the rise of uncertainty posed by President Trump, we are accelerating the exploration and development of earth metals here at home by supporting Dryden Gold Corp. to secure our province’s resource future.”
“Northwest Ontario offers a wealth of opportunities for gold exploration and is an exceptional mining jurisdiction. Not only is the province rich in geological potential, but it also actively supports junior explorers through initiatives like the OJEP and tax advantaged equity programs. Ontario is now recognized as one of the very best mining jurisdictions worldwide,” said Trey Wasser CEO of Dryden Gold. “We remain committed to supporting local businesses and our First Nations communities”.
