Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 12, 2023) – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) (“Ridgeline” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s ongoing drill program at the Selena Project, Nevada (Figure 1). Selena is host to a silver (“Ag”) – gold (“Au”) – lead (“Pb”) – zinc (“Zn”) carbonate replacement (“CRD”) style discovery located in White Pine County, Nevada. The objective of the 3,000-meter (“m”) core program is to both infill the high-grade upper Chinchilla Zone (see July 24, 2023 press release HERE), as well as to test beneath the Chinchilla Zone for stacked sulfide horizons at depth (Figure 2). A summary of drilling progress is highlighted below.

Drill Program Summary

• Drill hole SE23-046 was lost due to difficult drilling conditions at 126.8 m downhole with the bottom 7.3 m of the hole intersecting strongly brecciated and oxidized mineralization consistent with the top of the Chinchilla Zone (Figure 2).
  • Assays of the truncated upper zone returned 7.3 m grading 64.2 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Ag, 0.8% Pb, 2.9% Zn and 0.1 g/t Au (Figure 3) or;
  • 7.3 m grading 221.20 g/t silver equivalent (“AgEq”)

(Assumed metal prices $20 Ag, $0.90 Pb, $1.25 Zn, $1800 Au, no recovery factory applied).

• Drill hole SE23-047 re-drilled SE22-046 to a depth of 200.1 m and intersected the same upper Chinchilla oxide horizon over a 50 m + thick intercept (assays pending) (Figure 2 & Figure 3).
  • The thickness of the altered and mineralized zone in SE23-047 is consistent with nearby reverse circulation drilling in holes SE21-013 and SE21-14.

• Drill hole SE23-048 is in progress and will be drilled to depths of 400-500m to test for deeper sulfide horizons within the historically untested lower Guilmette limestone (Figure 3)
• The core program is tracking on-budget but running behind the originally proposed schedule due to mechanical delays associated with the drill rig, which have now been resolved.

Mike Harp, Ridgeline’s Vice President, Exploration commented, “We continue to be impressed by the continuity of mineralization at the Chinchilla Zone with hole 47 intersecting a thick, continuous zone of oxide mineralization that is visually consistent with nearby RC drillholes drilling during our 2021 program. We eagerly await assays from this shallower portion of the Chinchilla zone, which exhibits higher gold grades and exceptional continuity with mineralization currently open both up and down-dip.”

Mr. Harp continues, “Although drilling progress has been delayed by mechanical issues early in the program, we are now seeing consistent drill production as we test the bottom half of the highly prospective and historically untested lower Guilmette limestone. We have at least four more holes to complete with results to be released as they are received throughout the remainder of the program.”

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 11, 2023) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company”), Riverside is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement with private owners to acquire 100% in several mineral concessions in the Boundary District of Southern British Columbia in an area that is traced northward as the geologic and structural extension of the Republic and Toroda grabens which are well-endowed gold districts to the immediate south in northernmost Washington State across the USA border. The Republic District has produced over 3M ounces in gold over the past several decades and is a well-established gold camp; however, the Canadian side has not seen much epithermal gold development and Riverside, over the current summer 2023, has made a number of mineralization finds and acquired key tenures as the start of a new gold program in southern BC.

The Company has staked the prospective geology to include over 107 kilometers square that includes key locations of known gold occurrences and now significantly expanding and finding new showings of mineralization through the field programs. This prospective geology in southern BC extends northward from the historic Kinross Gold’s Knob Hill (~4M Oz Au Produced)^1,2 and Buckhorn Gold (~1.3M Oz Au)^1,2 mines in Washington State. The Riverside tenure in British Columbia is prospective for low sulfidation epithermal style gold-silver mineralization. Riverside’s work includes building upon previous generative work including BC Government databases, fieldwork, and Geoscience BC research data bases to create a structural interpretation of the district and has led to the discovery of several prospective vein targets inside the tenures controlled by Riverside.

Property Description and Program Actions:

The Elly Project is a series of mineral tenures that Riverside Resources (BC) Inc. staked and includes some core claims optioned from private owners that the Company sees have gold potential within a region that hosts historic gold and base metal producers and many mineral prospects. The Elly Project is within the Christian and Granby valleys of Grand Forks and Greenwood, BC. The project has excellent road access through major highways and secondary highways and a network of logging roads. Recent logging has exposed many new areas for mineral exploration and opened up access in the area.

Elly program for Riverside is an example of the generative mineral exploration approach: working with historic data and following up with stream sediment sampling, rock sampling, and active prospecting to expand our understanding of the known mineral locations. The field program during 2023 has located the Bunch Grass Target as one of several priority zones as work continues into the autumn as assays continue to come in.

Modified from https://adamera.com/projects/overview/.

The Republic and Toroda Grabens comprise structural features that bound Paleogene-age alkalic volcanics (Sanpoil Volcanics) and siliciclastic (O’Brien Creek Formation, Klondike Mountain Formation) rocks. Gravity and structural trends suggest that the Republic and Toroda Grabens and other analogous extensional basins extend northward into Canada. Sedimentary and volcanic fill in the Republic Graben exceeds 3000 m and gold and silver, with lesser Pb, Zn, Te mineralization occurs in various levels of the Paleogene units.

Figure 2: Simplified diagram showing extensional tectonic environment in a Horst-Graben terrain and the gold mineralization at Elly is along the Normal fault structures as the primary control for the Eocene epithermal gold in the Republic Graben and its extension northward from northernmost Washington State, USA up into the Grand Forks region of British Columbia.

At Elly as in the Republic Gold Mining District to the south the graben faults are a major structural control where Paleogene-age gold mineralization is deposited adjacent to the more favorable reactive host rock stratigraphy in the paleo-near surface environment. At Elly, the Company has begun to integrate the structural geology and reconstruction of the basins for targeting.

Riverside has completed a first phase of generative exploration starting with stream sediment sampling prospecting and rock sampling. These samples have been shipped to ALS Laboratories in North Vancouver and the company awaits the results.

The Company signed a Letter Agreement (LA) wherein the Company may acquire up to 100% interest in the Elly-Anika and Chilco projects located in British Columbia, Canada. Under the LA, the Company is granted a sole and exclusive right and option to acquire up to 100% interest in the said property by making the following cash payments and incurring the following exploration expenditures as follows:

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 7, 2023) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that after the Okanogan fire danger has subsided that geological crews are back at the Rock Creek camp and have re-commenced work at Midway, Copper Mountain and the Imperial target areas within the Greenwood Precious and Battery Metals Project. The Company is also pleased to announce that a large block of lands held in perpetuity for more than 30+ years by a competitor in the core of the Greenwood Project area surrounding and adjacent to the Phoenix Mine lapsed on July 31, 2023. Grizzly was able to acquire by staking close to 90 percent of the land that came open for a total of 6,478 acres highlighted in blue east of Greenwood in Figure 1.

Geological and prospecting crews have re-commenced prospecting, geological mapping, rock and soil sampling within the Greenwood Project area and will do an initial pass at the new mineral claim area, but will be focused on the Midway, Imperial, Copper Mountain and Sappho areas as we await drilling permits from the BC Ministry of Energy Mines and Petroleum Resources. The intent is to prepare these target areas for drilling this fall. The Company is awaiting land use permits for conducting drilling and trenching at the Midway Mine area as well as drilling at Copper Mountain, Imperial and potentially the Sappho target areas (Figure 2).

A number of existing showings and parts or extensions to known showings have been acquired with the staking of new mineral claims including but not limited to Marshall Lake, Sylvester K, the Great Laxey, Eholt and lands adjacent to and surrounding the historical Phoenix Mine.

The geological and prospecting crew has made several discoveries of sulphide, quartz vein zones and skarn on the new claims (Figure 3). Sulphide showings associated with skarn at Marshall Lake (Figure 1) are hosted in Triassic Brooklyn Formation sedimentary rocks including limestone that has been intruded by diorite. The showings have been trenched and bulk sampled in the past (1960’s to 1970’s) yielding significant copper, silver and gold. Little to no modern exploration has been performed at the Marshall Lake target as well as a number of other showings in the Brooklyn sequence such as the Great Laxey.

To date, more than 1,500 soil samples and 300 rock samples have been collected from the Midway, Copper Mountain, Imperial and Sappho target areas and have been submitted to ALS Global Laboratories (ALS) as well as an initial set of samples from the new mineral claims. Ground geophysical surveys will be performed where needed in September in order to be ready for the 2023 drilling campaign.

The goal is to have a pipeline of high priority precious metal and battery metal targets that are all permitted and ready for a long 2023 and 2024 drilling campaign in order to prioritize these assets into those that can deliver future mineral resources with additional drilling, eventually leading to some form of economic studies and scenarios that might be able to take advantage of local toll treating opportunities that exist in the Greenwood – Republic region.

Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, stated, “The staking of this large land block marks a very important milestone for Grizzly. We have coveted these lands for many years and this block of claims checks all of the boxes for us. Grizzly has been very selective when it comes to staking new ground and are excited to add this to our already outstanding land package in the prolific Greenwood mining district. These claims fit perfectly with Grizzly’s existing land package and offer a significant number of top-tier undeveloped drill targets.”

2023 Exploration Update for Greenwood

• Additional drilling is warranted in 2023 at both the Dayton and Motherlode North target areas in order to follow-up the anomalous results of the 2022 drilling program. In addition, there other targets at Motherlode North in the vicinity of the Motherlode Pit, the Greyhound Pit and the Great Hopes crown grant that have yet be drill tested.
• Drilling and trenching permit applications have been submitted for the 2023 season for the Midway, Sappho, Copper Mountain and Imperial target areas.
• Additional permit applications for drilling at the Crown Point and the Overlander-Mt Attwood areas are in preparation and will be submitted in the near future.
• The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver.
• At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples from outcrop collected from the Midway Mine-Picturestone area, with 4 of 7 rock grab samples from outcropping mineralization in the Midway Mine historical pit yielded a range of 12.05 g/t (or 0.351 ounces per ton [oz/t]) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 oz/t) Au (See Company news release dated October17, 2022).
• Three (3) of the 7 selective rock grab samples from the Midway Mine pits yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 oz/t Ag) up to 2,140 g/T Ag (62.4 oz/t Ag) (see the Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
• All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
• A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway Mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 oz/t Au) and 1,530 g/T Ag (44.6 oz/t Ag), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.
• The Sappho area is being targeted for copper-gold-PGEs skarn and porphyry type targets associated with an alkalic intrusion and several diorite intrusions south of Greenwood near the US border.
• At least five new showings of copper oxide/sulphide mineralization were found during the 2022 program at the Sappho Target.
• Previous surface sampling and drilling by Grizzly at the Sappho area has yielded significant anomalous copper, gold, silver along with platinum and palladium.
• Numerous rock grab samples have yielded greater than 1% copper, 1 g/t gold, 1 g/t platinum and 1 g/t palladium. The sampling work in 2022 yielded 17 rock grab samples with >1% Cu up to 9.06% Cu. (see Company news release dated November 3, 2022).
• Historical drilling (by the Company) has yielded up to 0.31% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Pt, 0.39 g/t Pd and 6.57 g/t Ag over 6.5 m core length in skarn at Sappho in 2010.

Quality Assurance and Control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.

The technical content of this news release and the Company’s technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P. Geol., P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Our flagship Ontario asset – The Madsen Gold Mine – is debt free, fully permitted, and has a brand new 800+ tonne per day mill, a tailings and water treatment facility.

The “lower-grade” near surface zone is about 3.5 grams/tonne gold, the higher-grade zone at 500 meters averages 9 grams/tonne gold.

At its peak, the asset was valued at over a billion dollars, 10X our current market cap. There is smart money heavily invested in the current project – Frank Guistra (10%); Sprott Resource (24%).

The previous operator was under-capitalised.  Debt repayment obligations forced the company into a quick-to-cash-flow mine model that was ultimately expensive and inefficient.

I have designed, built and operated mines (open pit and underground) in Greece, Turkey and Canada – for Skeena Resources, Eldorado Gold and Rio Tinto.  Under Frank Guistra’s guidance, my team conducted three months intense due-diligence on this project. It is clear to me and our technical team, the problems with this mine had to do with management strategies, not the asset itself.

Geologically, metallurgically, politically and environmentally we are not aware of any big negatives with this mine.

We purchased this asset for pennies on the dollar when nobody cared about gold. Investors are starting to care now. With global debt levels reaching $305 trillion, we anticipate the gold price reaching new highs.

The Red Lake District is one of the most prolific gold districts on the planet with over 30 million ounces produced. Our 47 Km2 land package is 13 X bigger than NYC’s Central Park.

Next week in Part 2 of my message to shareholders, I will explain how the previous operators got it wrong, and how we are getting it right.

Sincerely,

Shane Williams

On September 6, 2023 WRLG announced the beginning of surface drilling at the Wedge target, located about two kilometres southwest from its 100% owned Madsen Mine in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

“The drilling program will consist of up to 3,000 metres with the goal of growing and upgrading the existing mineral resources at Wedge,” stated WRLG. “Which currently contain an Indicated mineral resource of 56,100 ounces grading 5.6 grams per tonne gold, with an additional Inferred resource of 78,700 oz grading 5.7 g/t gold.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Surface exploration drilling to commence at the Wedge target – located 2 km southwest from the Madsen Mine
• Drilling will be focused on extending high-grade zones at Wedge and increasing confidence in the overall mineral resource
• Wedge currently hosts an Indicated resource of 56,100 oz of gold grading 5.6 g/t Au1 and an Inferred resource of 78,700 oz of gold grading 5.7 g/t Au1
• The Wedge resource sits adjacent to the past-producing Starratt-Olsen Mine which historically processed 823,554 tonnes grading 6.16 g/t Au for approximately 163,000 oz of gold[2]
• Previous drilling highlights from the Wedge target include:
• Hole PG17-486 Intersected 10.33 m @ 24.94 g/t Au, from 16.67 m to 27 m
  • Hole PG17-467 Intersected 16.6 m @ 17.49 g/t Au, from 11.45 m to 28 m
  • Hole PG17-482 Intersected 14.4 m @ 8.35 g/t Au, from 28 m to 42.4 m
  • Hole PG19-643 Intersected 1 m @ 108.5 g/t Au, from 103 m to 104 m

“Our team is very excited to be back drilling near the Madsen Mine asset,” stated Williams. “We view Wedge as a key component in our overall vision of staying committed to exploration and unlocking the full potential of all our high-grade assets in the Red Lake Mining District.”

“With Wedge being located just 2 km away from the existing mill facilities at Madsen,” continued Williams. “On fully patented claims and directly adjacent to the past-producing Starratt-Olsen mine, we can see a clear path forward for permitting at Wedge and view it as a high-caliber candidate for a future mill-feed source at Madsen.”

West Red Lake Gold has sold off heavily this week during a “pan-sell-off” that included bonds, metals, oil and crypto.

“A strong U.S. dollar and elevated U.S. Treasury yields are bearish outside market elements working against the precious metal [gold],” reported Kitco.com on September 6, 2023.

GSN is not aware of any negative material change to the company’s operations or its ability to build a profitable gold mine.
