[{"type":"text","content":"Ridgeline Minerals Acquires High-Grade Oxide Gold Project, Further Consolidating Land Position at the Atlas Project, NevadaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has entered into an exploration earn-in option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Trench oxide gold project (\"Trench or the \"Project\") from Bronco Creek Exploration, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMX Royalty Corp. (TSXV: EMX) (\"EMX\"). The Project is host to an outcropping and historically underexplored Carlin-Type gold system that exhibits similar age host rocks and mineralization style to Ridgeline's adjoining Atlas project.Trench is comprised of 31 Bureau of Land Management lode mining claims totaling 2.2 square kilometers. The Project is located approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the town of Carlin, Nevada, with excellent access to local infrastructure (Figure 1). The area was previously explored in the 1990's by several groups with surface trenching and limited drilling (results unknown). Anomalous, widespread gold mineralization and structurally controlled higher-grade gold grading up to 5.6 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") is hosted within a sequence of prospective Ordovician to Pennsylvanian-Permian age rocks cut by a series of Tertiary dikes (Figure 2). These Tertiary dikes may represent a potential source to the Carlin-Type gold system and are a likely mineralizing control to the higher-grade rock chips taken to-date. As part of the agreement, the Company will inherit a surface geochemical database with technical highlights and exploration earn-in terms detailed below:Mike Harp, Ridgeline's Vice President, Exploration, commented, \"This is a great acquisition for Ridgeline as we further consolidate our Atlas oxide gold project in advance of a maiden drill program this spring. The Trench claims are contiguous with the greater Atlas project and exhibit high-grade gold at surface but has seen limited modern exploration. This consolidation expands the Atlas mineralized footprint to over four kilometers of combined strike and aligns with the Company's strategy of acquiring and systematically advancing underexplored projects in known gold districts.\" Surface Sampling Highlights34 reconnaissance...
