Permit Approval For The Swift Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (has received final approval from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on the Company's proposed Notice of Intent (NOI) drilling and exploration permit for up 15 drill sites at the Swift Project in Lander County, Nevada. Ridgeline's 2,000 meter (m) Phase I drill program is scheduled to begin.

Chad Peters, President and CEO, said, "For years Swift was a historically under appreciated project in the middle of the Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend. In 1999, a drill hole at Swift intersected 16.8m @ 0.72 g/t gold ("Au"), 0.50 g/t silver ("Ag") in Lower Plate carbonate host rocks and never received follow-up drilling. Twenty-one years later, our team is excited to go back and test this highly prospective target with our Phase I drill program"

Swift Project Highlights: 51 square/kilometer (km²) land package directly on-trend of the Nevada Gold Mines Cortez Mine Complex; Historic core hole MCK-99-5A intersected 16.8m @ 0.72 g/t Au, 0.50 g/t Ag starting at 727m within the Lower Plate carbonate host rocks similar to multiple gold mines in the district; & Highly prospective Cortez Structural Corridor extends across the Swift property and coincides with a pronounced gravity geophysics high as well as mapped dike swarms and elevated surface soils (gold-arsenic-antimony) anomalies at multiple targets.
