Land Package Expanded At Selena Oxide Silver-Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. reported the staking of an additional forty-two Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lode claims (868 acres) directly on-trend of the high-grade silver-lead-zinc drill intercepts announced at the Selena project. Selena now comprises 467 contiguous claims across 9,626 acres or 39 square kilometers.

Mineralization at Selena appears to be transitioning from near-surface, oxide silver-gold at the original discovery to high-grade, silver-lead-zinc at depth. This development suggests mineralization at Selena may be related to the larger metal zonation pattern of the Butte Valley copper-gold porphyry located less than 1 kilometer (km) to the west of the property boundary. Both base metal carbonate replacement (CRD) deposits and silver-gold sediment-hosted deposits can be spatially and genetically linked to porphyry systems with Selena exhibiting the potential to host both deposit types across the property.

Chad Peters, President & CEO, said, "With every drill program, our geologic model of Selena continues to evolve as an emerging district-scale exploration opportunity with potential to discover multiple deposit types across the 39 square kilometer property. These additional claims now consolidate the more than 3 km of untested ground between our known discovery and the Butte Valley copper-gold porphyry to the west."
