(TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the remaining results from the Company's five (5) hole, 2,034 meter (\"m\") drill program at the Selena (\"Selena\") project, Nevada. Results from the Upper Chinchilla zone returned broad intercepts of silver (\"Ag\") - lead (\"Pb\") - zinc (\"Zn\") - gold (\"Au\") with individual assays grading up to 795 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") Ag, 25% Pb, 2% Zn, 0.3 g/t Au and 0.2% copper (\"Cu\") that further support the high-grade tenor of the original Chinchilla zone discovery (Figure 1) (see January 24, 2023 press release HERE). Notably, core holes SE23-049 and SE23-050 were drilled beneath the Chinchilla zone for the first time and intersected stacked Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized horizons ranging from 0.5 m to 4.0 m thickness with individual samples grading up to 63.9 g/t Ag, 0.3% Pb, 1.4% Zn and 0.6 g/t Au (Table 1). These new intercepts effectively double the known vertical extent of Carbonate Replacement (\"CRD\") mineralization at Chinchilla down to a depth of 690 m (Figure 2). Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike for over 3 kilometers towards the Butte Valley porphyry, the interpreted source to the Selena CRD system (see Long Section A-A' HERE)Chad Peters, Ridgeline's President, and CEO commented, \"The confirmation of stacked mineralized horizons beneath the high-grade Chinchilla Oxide zone is a significant development for the project. Previous drilling had already confirmed that Selena is capable of hosting bonanza grade CRD mineralization and the addition of stacked zones at depth dramatically increases the tonnage potential across all target areas.\"Michael Harp, Ridgeline's Vice Presi...
