VANCOUVER, Feb. 8, 2023 - Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Prospect Ridge") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce that it has completed its acquisition of 100% of the Holy Grail property. It is located 10 km northeast of the town of Terrace, BC.

With this acquisition PRR now controls some 730 square kilometers of ground in the Terrace area. In connection with the finalization of this acquisition, the Net Smelter Royalties ("NSR") have been modified. Loan Wolf Exploration Ltd has a 1.5% NSR on the property from which 1% can be purchased for $1M. Knauss Creek Mines Ltd. also gets 1.5% NSR on the property from which 1% can be purchased for $1M. This NSR also applies to our fully owned Knauss Creek property in place of certain royalties that were previously granted.

Prospect Ridge is also pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Jasmine Lau, CPA, CA, as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Ms. Lau has an extensive background in the resource sector and has served as CFO of several public exploration companies with projects throughout the world. Ms. Lau previously worked at Teck Resources Ltd. and Deloitte & Touche LLP's Vancouver Assurance & Advisory group where she focused on audits of public mining and resource companies. Ms. Lau holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of British Columbia.

Ms. Lau is replacing Ms. Stella Chen who has served as Chief Financial Officer since November 2021. The Company extends its appreciation to Ms. Chen for her dedication and contributions and wishes her well in her future endeavors.

Michael Iverson PRR's CEO commented: "With this acquisition, we just reached another milestone in our strategy. Owning 100% of our portfolio will give us more flexibility in our exploration programs. We are looking forward to the next field season. We are also pleased to welcome Jasmine Lau aboard as our new CFO. She will be a great asset to our growing company. I would like to thank Stella Chen for her dedication to the company and for her hard work. I wish her great success in her future challenges."

All scientific or technical information included in this news release has been reviewed, verified and approved by Yan Ducharme, P.Geo., President of the Company and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

The Holy Grail property starts about 10 kilometers north of the town of Terrace in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It is easily accessible by highway 16, the Nisga'a highway and a network of logging roads. It covers about 700 square kilometers and forms a horseshoe that encloses our fully owned Knauss Creek property in its southeastern part.

Prospecting led to the discovery of several gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc showings. Gold rich grab samples with values up to 50 g/t Au were obtained.

The southern tip of the Golden Triangle arrives just northwest of PRR properties. The Bowser Lake and the Hazelton Groups hosting most of the deposits and mines of this area are also underlying the Knauss Creek and Holy Grail.

Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. is a British Columbia based exploration and development company focused on gold exploration. Prospect Ridge's management and technical team cumulate over 100 years of mineral exploration experience and believes the Knauss Creek and the Holy Grail properties to have the potential to extend the boundaries of the Golden Triangle to cover this vast under-explored region.
