The acquisition covers 17,225 hectares in a mineralized corridor near active gold and copper exploration projects.
Skull Ridge Gold has secured 689 mineral claims spanning 17,225 hectares in central Newfoundland, Canada. The Crippleback-Stony Lake Gold Project lies within the Valentine Lake Fault Zone, a key structural corridor with reported gold and copper mineralization.
The land package is situated between Pirate Gold’s Crippleback Project and Benton Resources’ Stoney Caldera holdings. Recent exploration in the region has identified porphyry-epithermal alteration systems and historical drilling results. Skull Ridge reimbursed staking and acquisition costs through an arm’s-length prospector.
The area covers part of the Crippleback Intrusive Suite, with regional reports estimating its span at over 200km². Skull Ridge plans to compile existing data and assess exploration potential in the newly acquired zone.
