About Rocky Shore Gold Ltd.

Rocky Shore Gold is a focused Canadian exploration company targeting expansion of its two gold deposits and discovery of major gold zones at its 100-per-cent-owned Gold Anchor project. The project is strategically located in central Newfoundland -- one of Canada's most promising and underexplored gold belts. The district-scale project is the second-largest (greater than 1,200 square kilometres) property within an emerging gold district. It hosts two large porphyry-controlled gold deposits and high-grade structurally controlled gold targets on trend to major gold discoveries and recent gold deposits northeast of the Gold Anchor project. Numerous gold-bearing targets are within the project limits, and several are associated with the highly prospective Appleton and JBP faults.

Rocky Shore would like to acknowledge the financial support and approval of the 2025 junior exploration assistance program from the Department of Natural Resources, government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
