# Ridgeline Minerals Reports Additional Assays for the Chinchilla Sulfide CRD Discovery at the Selena Project, Nevada Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/ridgeline-minerals-reports-additional-assays-for-the-chinchilla-sulfide-crd-disc--bcee286c-bd80-4d3f-b460-1c2d1a2989d7 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/RDG/news/6811913638874912/ridgeline-minerals-reports-additional-assays-for-the-chinchilla-sulfide-crd-disc Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-12-18T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Ridgeline Minerals Corp. - Ticker: RDG - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Zinc, Lead, Gold, Copper, Antimony - Document categories: Drill results, Agreement transaction - Extracted: 2026-09-16 19:06:32 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Ridgeline Minerals has reported high-grade silver and zinc assay results from its maiden drill program at the Selena Project in Nevada. The SE25-053 hole intersected multiple stacked sulfide lenses, including a standout 1.1m intercept of 766.4 g/t AgEq. Reasoning: The announcement reports significant high-grade silver and zinc intercepts in a maiden drill program, confirming a new CRD discovery with stacked sulfide horizons. - Positive factor: High-grade silver-zinc intercepts - Positive factor: Discovery of stacked sulfide lenses - Positive factor: Evidence of base metal zoning - Positive factor: Maiden drill program exceeding expectations - Positive factor: Strategic earn-in agreement with South32 - Negative factor: True width for high-grade intercept not disclosed Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 1.1m grading 766.4 g/t AgEq is exceptionally high grade for a CRD system. Evidence · text > 1.1m grading 27.0% Zn, 60.1 g/t Ag, 0.7% Pb, 1.5 g/t Au, 0.4% Cu, 0.03% Sb \(766.4 g/t AgEq or 31.9% ZnEq\) **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The high-grade 1.1m intercept does not disclose true width or drill orientation. Evidence · text > true thickness unknown **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release details certified labs \(AAL, Paragon\), CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks. Evidence · text > Samples are submitted to American Assay Laboratories \(AAL\)... which is a certified and accredited laboratory... Ridgeline's QA/QC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole SE25-054 is a 700m step-out to test the extension of the conductive anomaly. Evidence · text > Hole SE25-054 is in progress and represents a roughly 700m step-out to the northeast ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
