Drilling Now Progressing At The Swift Gold Project
VANCOUVER - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. reported on the ongoing drill program at the Swift gold project, currently being operated under an exploration earn-in agreement with Nevada Gold Mines (NGM). The start of the drill program was delayed from early June until August, due to unexpected permitting delays through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). However, drilling is progressing steadily with the first of up to three deep core holes now complete, and with samples from hole SW24-006 submitted to the lab for analysis.
Chad Peters, President, CEO & Director said, "We are encouraged by the visual results of the first hole, which continues to show evidence of a strong Carlin-Type gold system at Swift. The 2024 program is building from positive drilling results in 2022, which intersected widespread alteration and low-grade Carlin-Type gold mineralization across multiple framework drill holes. Drilling in 2024 will attempt to vector in on higher grade gold mineralization hosted within proposed structural traps along the projection of the Mill Creek Thrust, a significant structural control and conduit for gold mineralization at Swift."
