(TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce high-grade silver intercepts from the first four of fourteen drill holes from the Company's recently completed 3,445 meter (\"m\") Phase IV drill program at the Selena oxide silver-gold project (\"Selena\"), Nevada (Figure 1). The Company has also initiated a Phase I, bottle-roll metallurgy program to assess the potential viability of a future heap-leach processing scenario at the project.The first four holes focused on infill drilling within the 2020 mineralized footprint with high-grade silver intercepts in drill hole SE21-024 and SE21-025 interpreted as structurally controlled \"feeder\" zones to the larger mineralized system. Of particular interest to the Company is the identification of elevated lead (\"Pb\") and Zinc (\"Zn\") mineralization associated with higher-grade silver in both holes (Table 1). The Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization may represent a distal metal zonation pattern to the known copper-gold (\"Cu-Au\") porphyry system located approximately 1 kilometer (\"km\") west of the Selena property boundary. Highlight intercepts are listed below with results from the remaining ten step-out holes to be released as they are received.Highlight Drill Intercepts (See Table 1):SE21-024: 10.7m grading 194.0 g/t grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver (\"Ag\"), 0.3 g/t gold (\"Au\"), 2.0% lead (\"Pb\") and 1.7% Zinc (\"Zn\") starting at 191m true vertical depth (\"TVD\")Including: 4.6m grading 421.0 g/t Ag, 0.6 g/t Au, 4.4% Pb and 3.7% Zn starting at 193m TVD (Figure 2.0)SE21-025: 44.2m grading 123.2 g/t Ag, 0.17 g/t Au, 1.5% Pb and 0.6% Zn starting at 232m TVD Including: 13.7m grading 221.1 g/t Ag, 0.1 g/t Au, 2.2% Pb and 0.5% Zn starting at 249m TVDChad Peters, Ridgeline's President & CEO commented, \"We are very encouraged by the initial infill results at Selena, which returned the highest-grade intercepts drilled to-date, confirming the high-grade silver potential of the oxide system. The elevated lead and zinc mineralization in multiple holes is an exciting new development that supports our team's growing belief that S...
