Drilling To Focus On The High Grade Chinchilla Zone

VANCOUVER - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. reported on the six (6) unreported drill holes from the drill program at the Selena Project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. The Chinchilla Target include SE22-039A which returned 1.5 meters (m) grading 581.0 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag), 0.2% zinc (Zn), and 2.0% Tungsten (W) starting at 244 m downhole. Hole SE22-039A was an 11.7 m long wedge that was attempted off the original parent drill hole SE22-039, which was also lost in a fault zone in high-grade Ag-W mineralization at 279 m downhole. The two intercepts now confirm over 30 m of vertical continuity within a structurally controlled zone of high-grade silver-tungsten mineralization hosted within Quartz-Feldspar Porphyry (QFP) dikes. Mineralization hosted within QFP dikes is atypical of the Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Carbonate Replacement (CRD) mineralization discovered at Selena to-date and may indicate a primary "feeder" fault has been intersected at the Chinchilla zone. Additional follow-up drilling is required in 2023 to confirm this theory.

The remaining five (5) core holes included a four-hole (4) maiden drill program at the Broken Egg oxide gold (Au) target and a single (1) "scout" hole at the Juniper CRD target to test the down-dip extension of historical high-grade drill intercepts. Broken Egg returned a highlight intercept of 4.4 meters (m) grading 0.68 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) including 0.5m grading 2.66 g/t Au starting at 0.6m downhole in drill hole SE22-044

Michael Harp, Vice President, Exploration, commented, "Over the past two years our systematic approach to exploration at Selena has yielded multiple grassroots discoveries that exhibit the potential for significant scale and grade. Our fall program at the Chinchilla zone returned the highest CRD grades ever drilled on the property and the addition of bonanza grade silver and tungsten intercepts in holes 39 and 39A adds a new high-grade target to be followed-up on this spring. The scout drill programs at Broken Egg and Juniper were part of our greater exploration strategy of assessing the potential of all priority exploration targets at Selena prior to commencing infill and definition drilling at the Chinchilla zone. Both targets intersected encouraging alteration and mineralization, with Broken Egg representing the distal expression of over 8 kilometers of alteration and mineralization that is zoning outwards from the Butte Valley Porphyry. Core drilling this year will focus on infilling the high-grade Chinchilla zone as well as step-out drilling towards the CRD target, where drilling to-date has defined over three kilometers of mineralized strike that is open in all directions. We eagerly anticipate the pending approval of an expanded exploration Plan of Operations permit this spring, which will allow us to aggressively explore this highly prospective mineralized corridor."
