(TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) (\"Ridgeline\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce bonanza grade copper samples returning up to 15.5% from surface trenching at the Big Blue Project, (\"Big Blue\" or the \"Project\") a porphyry/skarn copper (\"Cu\") - gold (\"Au\") - silver (\"Ag\") exploration prospect located directly adjacent to Reyna Silver's Medicine Springs CRD discovery in Elko County, Nevada (Figure 1). Ridgeline geologists collected eighteen continuous trench samples at two trench locations and fourteen surface rock chip samples in May 2023. Trench sampling confirmed historically reported mine grades (see February 9, 2023 press release HERE) at the past producing Delker Mine while wide-spaced reconnaissance rock chip sampling effectively doubled the mineralized footprint of the known system. Highlight results are detailed below.Chad Peters, Ridgeline's President & CEO commented, \"We knew Big Blue was a high-grade copper skarn when we staked it, however, today's trenching results have exceeded expectations. What gets us especially excited is that the bonanza grades at the Delker Mine represent the oxidized skarn portion of a potentially much larger porphyry copper system feeding the entire district; and we suspect that this porphyry lies to the southwest under shallow valley cover on Ridgeline's ground. Our geologists are anxious to begin backpack drilling in June where they will target the projection of high-grade copper mineralization on trend of the Delker Mine, which currently exhibits a mineralized strike of over 1.5 kilometers towards the Skarn Hill adit to the southwest. We are still piecing together the story at Big Blue, and we anticipate additional porphyry and CRD targets to quickly develop as we continue to build out our geologic model and prepare the project for a maiden drill campaign.\"Trench Assay Highlights:Trench 1 (Delker Mine): 0.6 metres (\"m\") grading 15.5% Cu, 0.18 g/t Ag and 0.1% cobalt (\"Co\") within 2.4 m grading 4.6% Cu, 0.52 g/t Ag and 0.06% Co (Picture 1 & Figure 1)Note that tr...
