Drill Program Commences At The Selena CRD Project

VANCOUVER – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. reported on the commencement of its 2025 drill program at the Selena Carbonate Replacement (CRD) project. The Project is currently being operated by Ridgeline under Phase 1 of an earn-in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of South32 Limited.

South32 has approved a Year-2 exploration budget of $3,450,000 to drill up to three deep core holes (4,500 metres total) targeting the highly conductive Magnetotellurics (MT) anomaly that was identified at the Chinchilla Sulfide CRD target in early 2025. All three core holes will target specific stratigraphic and structural horizons across the known strike of the MT anomaly, with the first of three holes targeting the shallowest expression of the Chinchilla Sulfide target. The anomaly plunges roughly 45 degrees north to south and is bound on both sides by a series of east verging thrust faults, interpreted as key fluid conduits to the CRD system.
