Phase II Drilling at Carlin-East Let the games beGin...
Vancouver, Canada, June 17, 2021 – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (“Ridgeline” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RDG | OTCQB: RDGMF | FRA: 0GC0) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a core rig to the Carlin-East project in Elko County, Nevada (Figure 1). The 3,000-meter (“m”) drill program will consist of three deep core holes targeting prospective Lower Plate carbonate host rocks of the Popovich and Bootstrap formations at the Company’s Crash Zone target. The Crash Zone is centered along the intersection of the Four Corners and Crash fault zones and is a similar target to the Nevada Gold Mines (“NGM”) owned North Leeville discovery hosted along the Four Corners fault zone located 3.5 kilometers (“km”) to the south (Figure 2).
Mike Harp, Ridgeline’s Vice President, Exploration commented, “Our team has spent two years building out the geologic model at Carlin-East with the Crash Zone representing the highest potential target across the property. We view Carlin-East as a rare opportunity for a junior explorer such as Ridgeline to drill an untested target directly on trend of a world-class gold deposit. Nevada Gold Mines recent discovery at North Leeville further highlights the potential for new discoveries along this underexplored portion of the Leeville Corridor.”
