Phase V Drilling Commences at Selena Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2022) - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) ("Ridgeline" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's Phase V drill program at the Selena project ("Selena") commenced on May 2, 2022. Selena is a silver ("Ag")-gold ("Au")-lead ("Pb")-zinc ("Zn") carbonate replacement ("CRD") style discovery located in White Pine County, Nevada. The Phase V program will drill up to 8 holes (5,500m) and test the conceptual CRD and Skarn targets located down-dip and to the west of the Company's original shallow-oxide, Ag-Au ± Pb-Zn discovery (Figure 1 & Figure 2). Samples are delivered directly to the lab from site and assay results will be announced as they are received.
Mike Harp, Ridgeline's Vice President, Exploration, commented, "We've spent almost a year putting together the porphyry zonation model at Selena and our team is excited to finally be testing the conceptual CRD and Skarn targets. We believe this program will confirm the district-scale exploration potential at Selena with multiple targets still to be tested across the 39 square kilometer property."
Selena Project
Selena is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 64 kilometers ("km") north of the town of Ely, NV, and 25 km southeast of the Kinross owned and operated Bald Mountain Gold Mine. The 100% owned Selena project is comprised of 39 square kms of highly prospective exploration ground including Ridgeline's 2020 Ag-Au ± Pb-Zn discovery. Drilling in 2021 highlighted the potential to target high-grade CRD type mineralization (Ag-Au-Pb-Zn ±Cu) between Ridgeline's original discovery and the Butte Valley Cu-Au-Ag porphyry located directly west of the property.
