Ridgeline Minerals Reports Additional Assay Results for the Chinchilla Sulfide CRD Discovery at the Selena Project

Nevada explorer leverages major partnerships to de-risk high-grade polymetallic and gold discoveries

Executive Summary

The most recent news (March 16, 2026) reports additional assay results from the Chinchilla Sulfide CRD discovery at the Selena project. Key results from hole SE25-054 include 3.1m grading 86.5 g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn, 3.8% Pb, and 2.9 g/t Au (353.1 g/t AgEq). This follows the December 2025 discovery hole SE25-053, which returned 1.1m of 31.9% ZnEq and a broader 17.4m intercept of 9.2% ZnEq. The company confirmed that hole 54 intersected the same host horizon as the Chinchilla Oxide zone 2.5km away, suggesting significant system scale. Drilling was paused due to winter but will resume in Spring 2026 to deepen hole 54 to 1,200m.

Material Impact

The news is Routine - Positive. While the grades are high and confirm the "discovery" status of the Chinchilla Sulfide zone, these results are incremental follow-ups to the major discovery announced in late 2025. - Scale Confirmation: The results successfully link the deep sulfide mineralization to the known oxide zone 2.5km away, supporting the thesis of a large-scale Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) system. - Partner Validation: The project is funded by South32, meaning Ridgeline is seeing these high-grade results without depleting its own cash reserves. - Technical Continuity: The use of Borehole EM (BHEM) in the next phase indicates a systematic approach to finding massive sulfide "blobs" rather than just blind drilling. - Comparison: The grades in hole 54 are lower than the spectacular 27% Zinc seen in hole 53, but the presence of 2.9 g/t Gold in the new intercept adds a valuable precious metal component to the polymetallic mix.
