Ridgeline Sets Large Silver-Gold Exploration Target at Selena’s Chinchilla Oxide Deposit

Story Highlights
  • Ridgeline defined a 38.3–58.0 million tonne silver-gold-lead-zinc exploration target at the Chinchilla Oxide deposit. This conceptual estimate is based on 3D modelling and drilling and remains open for expansion.
  • Metallurgical tests suggest Chinchilla Oxide may suit heap leach processing, and core drilling indicates silver grades were previously understated. Ridgeline plans further drilling and testing in 2026 to advance toward a maiden resource and assess combined oxide-sulfide potential.

The latest announcement is out from Ridgeline Minerals ( (TSE:RDG) ).

Ridgeline Minerals has outlined a conceptual exploration target of 38.3 to 58.0 million tonnes of silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralized material at its outcropping Chinchilla Oxide deposit within the Selena project in Nevada. Preliminary 3D modelling and drilling data indicate grades of 39.8 to 52.0 g/t silver, 0.12 to 0.15 g/t gold and significant lead-zinc content, with the zone remaining open along strike and down-dip.

The company reports encouraging metallurgical test work suggesting the oxide material may be amenable to heap leach processing, while noting that core drilling has revealed prior RC drilling understated silver grades due to loss of silver-rich clays. Ridgeline plans further drilling and metallurgical testing through 2026 to refine recoveries, expand the Chinchilla Oxide target and advance towards a maiden resource estimate, while also assessing the larger combined potential of the oxide and recently discovered sulfide systems at Selena.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:RDG) stock is a Hold with a C$0.24 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ridgeline Minerals stock, see the TSE:RDG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:RDG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:RDG is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (pre-revenue, operating losses, and persistent cash burn despite a strong low-debt balance sheet) and limited valuation support (high P/E, no dividend). Offsetting factors include constructive technicals (price above long-term averages with mild positive momentum) and a series of positive, growth-oriented exploration updates.
