(TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FRA: 0GC0) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results of its induced polarization (\"IP\") geophysical survey at the Big Blue (\"Big Blue\") porphyry copper (\"Cu\") - gold (\"Au\") project in Elko County, Nevada. The pole-dipole survey was collected in August 2024 by Moombarriga Geoscience and consisted of an initial 28 line-kilometer (\"line-km\") survey across nine IP lines to cover the high priority Delker and Ohio porphyry targets (Figure 1). Merlin Geophysics oversaw data processing and subsequent interpretation of the raw IP data with highlights of the survey below.Michael Harp, Ridgeline's Vice President, Exploration commented, \"The results of the initial IP survey at Big Blue have exceeded our expectations and confirmed the potential for at least two porphyry targets on the property. The highly chargeable porphyry anomaly beneath Skarn Hill fits our geologic model and interpretation of the greater Delker Mine trend. Drill permit amendments are in process to support a maiden drill program, which will target both the shallow, high-grade copper skarn and the deeper porphyry targets at Delker.Michael Harp continues: \"The big surprise for our team came from the Ohio target, where IP lines 70250N and 70900N highlight a strong chargeability anomaly under alluvial cover, less than 1 kilometer south of recently announced high-grade rock chip samples of up to 3.9% copper and 16.3 g/t gold. The consistent copper grades as well as highly elevated gold and molybdenum values compared to the nearby Delker trend suggest the mineralizing system may be increasing in strength to the west. The Ohio target represents a potential standalone porphyry system, or the faulted off portion of the Delker porphyry and our team is very excited to drill-test both targets in our maiden program.\"IP Survey HighlightsDelker Porphyry Target: IP Line 71500N identified a significant chargeability anomaly (20-25 mV/V) located directly down-dip of the Skarn Hill Adit (Figure 2)Chargeability high is interpreted as the potential porphyry source to t...
