[{"type":"text","content":"Ridgeline Minerals Completes 2,000 Meter Drill Program at the Selena Project, NevadaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2023) - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce 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 (Figure 1 & Table 1). 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. Mike Harp, Ridgeline's Vice President, Exploration commented, \"This year's program had two primary objectives, upgrade the known Upper Chinchilla Zone and test prospective carbonate host horizons at depth for new discoveries. Results so far have confirmed the high-grade nature of the Upper Chinchilla Zone, and we are encouraged by the level of alteration observed in new potential host horizons at depth. We look forward to updating shareholders as assays are received over the coming weeks.\" 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 (Figure 2).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.
