Maiden Drill Program Confirms Atlas Project Grade Potential

VANCOUVER – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. reported on the maiden two-hole drill program at the Atlas project, Nevada. Atlas is an early-stage Carlin-Type oxide gold prospect and with no underlying work commitments or royalties.
Mike Harp, Vice President, Exploration, said, “We are pleased that our maiden drill program confirmed that our Atlas project exhibits both the scale and grade potential that’s required to host a significant gold deposit. The first two drill holes at Atlas were completed in the northernmost section of a greater than four-kilometer gold trend. With a limited budget this year, our focus was testing the favourable Pennsylvanian to Permian age carbonate host rock section to confirm whether those host rocks showed evidence of a Carlin-Type gold system.”
Both holes returned thick intercepts of anomalous oxide gold and Carlin-Type alteration, with hole AT25-001 exhibiting a stronger gold vector to the south than AT25-002. Hole AT25-001 intersected 298 meters of continuous Carlin-Type alteration and mineralization with elevated pathfinder elements, anomalous gold, and up to 1.8 g/t gold in individual samples.
Mineralization at Atlas appears to be hosted within the same thick section of Pennsylvanian to Permian age host rocks. Our team interprets the first two holes as having intersected a low-grade gold and trace element halo that is typically associated with the outer margins of Carlin-Type gold deposits. We will continue to focus on land consolidation and additional field work throughout the remainder of the 2025 field season with the goal of a Phase II drill program in 2026 to follow up on these results.”
