Ridgeline Minerals Corp. announced the completion of its 2023 diamond core drill program totaling 2,034 meters (m) at its Selena silver (Ag) - lead ("Pb") - zinc ("Zn") - gold ("Au") carbonate replacement ("CRD") exploration project in Nevada. The program totaled five drill holes ranging from 125 m to 690 m depth and targeted shallow-oxide CRD mineralization in the Upper Chinchilla Zone as well as testing for the first time beneath Chinchilla for stacked mineralization at depth.

Drill samples have been regularly submitted to the lab for analysis over the past six weeks with assay results expected to be released in December 2023. Summary of SE23-049 & SE23-050 (assays pending): Drillhole SE23-049 intersected the Upper Chinchilla Zone horizon over a roughly 9 m thick interval at depths consistent with nearby drillhole SE21-024. 2.7m of total core loss was encountered in the middle of the aforementioned 9 m interval which is interpreted as a collapse breccia zone or cave resulting in no core recovery.

Drilling beneath the upper zone intersected multiple stacked zones of CRD style alteration ranging from 1-5m thickness extending down to 665 meters downhole. Drillhole SE23-050 intersected the Upper Chinchilla Zone horizon over a roughly 25 m thick interval at depths consistent with nearby drillholes SE21-025 and SE22-045. Drilling beneath the Upper Chinchilla Zone intersected intervals of CRD style alteration ranging from 1-3m thickness down to 400 meters downhole as well as UV fluorescing "BBQ Rock" (fugitive calcite) vein breccia intervals down to 600m depth.
