RIDGESTONE ANNOUNCES MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM ON ITS HIGH-GRADE EL COBRE COPPER PROPERTY, SONORA, MEXICO
Vancouver, BC – November 22, 2021 – Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSX.V: RMI) (OTCQB: RIGMF) (FRA:4U5) (“Ridgestone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has finalized plans for a maiden drill program to be conducted on the El Cobre Copper property, part of its 100% owned 3,500-hectare Rebeico Gold-Copper Project located in Sonora, Mexico.
This program will be comprised of approximately 14 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, totalling 2,700 metres, and will test the El Cobre high-grade copper property down-dip underneath the historical workings which run along a known strike-length of 200 metres, and will also investigate potential extensions.
The El Cobre mine was put into production by Asarco during the sixties and was developed on two levels, with the upper level having over 230 metres of drift development and the lower level having over 100 metres of drift development at a depth of 180 metres below surface. The main structure, with widths varying from 1 to 5 metres, has been emplaced within a quartz monzonite intrusive and remains open along strike and at depth. There has been no documented modern-day exploration at the El Cobre mine or surrounding area since production ceased, making it an ideal exploration target.
Recently, the Company collected fourteen (14) samples around the historic mine, nine (9) of which were along a 200-metre-long structure exposed at surface with the balance taken from outcrops and historic dumps. Highlights from sampling of the main mineralized structure exposed on surface included 3.5% copper plus 0.32 g/t gold over 1.0 metre and 1.5% copper plus 0.44 g/t gold over 1.5 metres. Additionally, trench sampling from waste dumps and from historical artisanal mining areas included 2.65% copper over 3.0 metres, 2.62% copper over 1.0 metre, 2.21% copper over 1.5 metres, and 2.01% copper over 3.0 metres.

Vancouver, BC – June 23, 2021 – Ridgestone Mining Inc. (OTCQB: RIGMF) (TSX.V: RMI) (FRA:4U5) (“Ridgestone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a maiden drill program on the El Cobre copper target on it’s wholly-owned Rebeico copper-gold project in Sonora, Mexico.
The program will be comprised of 14 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for a total of approximately 2,700 metres and will be conducted along the main El Cobre structure, where recent rock-chip sampling returned up to 3.5% copper, 53 g/t silver and 0.52 % Mo over widths of up to 5.0 metres. Historical records of past mining by Asarco in the 1960’s show that high- grade copper was extracted from two levels to a depth of 180 metres, and that the structure remains open along strike and to depth.
In preparation for the drill program, permits have been applied for with approval anticipated within the upcoming weeks, after which drill pads will be constructed and road improvements undertaken. Drill quotes have also been solicited.
Highlights:
- El Cobre: sampling from the mineralized structure outcropping on surface returned up to 3.5% copper over 1.0 metres, with sampling from the historic dumps ranging from 2.01 to 2.65% copper.
- Regional: Multiple mineralized structures and artisanal workings were encountered, with sampling returning up to 3.11% copper and up to 3.45 g/t gold from surface.
- Permitting: Permitting underway for a drill program to test the high-priority copper targets, including the El Cobre mine.
- Geological Model: Geological mapping has revealed mineralized breccias within and peripheral to volcanic intrusive rocks, contact skarns and hornfels within the sedimentary carbonate and siltstone rocks where they were in contact with volcanic intrusive rocks which are typical for a copper-gold porphyry system.
“We are highly encouraged by the work completed on our Rebeico claims with significant copper/gold/silver results sampled on surface from the breccia zones and around the El Cobre mine, in addition to geological mapping results, geophysical results and alteration associated with the volcanic intrusions” commented Jonathan George, CEO. “We believe that these aggregated results indicate the possible presence of a sub-surface copper porphyry system. The upcoming drill program will follow-up on the high-grade copper mineralization encountered on surface to determine the source of and potential extensions of the mineralization. The majority of the targets have not seen any follow-up or investigated by modern-day exploration.”
El Cobre Mine
A total of fourteen (14) samples were collected around the historic mine, nine (9) of which were along a 200-metre-long structure exposed at surface with the balance taken from outcrops and historic dumps. Highlights from sampling of the main mineralized structure exposed on surface included 3.5% copper plus 0.32 g/t gold over 1.0 metre and 1.5% copper plus 0.44 g/t gold over 1.5 metres. Additionally, sampling from waste dumps from historical mining included 2.65% copper over 3.0 metres, 2.62% copper over 1.0 metre, 2.21% copper over 1.5 metres, and 2.01% copper over 3.0 metres.
The El Cobre mine was put into production by Asarco during the sixties and was developed on two levels, with the upper level having over 230 metres of drift development and the lower level having over 100 metres long of drift development at a depth of 180 metres below surface. The main structure, with widths varying from 1 to 5 metres, has been emplaced within a granodiorite intrusive and remains open along strike and at depth. There has been no modern-day exploration at the El Cobre mine or surrounding area since production ceased, making it an ideal target for future exploration. Significant results are presented in Figure 1 below.

Regional Geophysical Anomalies:
A detailed mapping and sampling program was conducted over a 5.25 square kilometre area, focusing on geophysical anomalies identified by past surveys. In 2018 and 2019 the Company completed 31 line-kilometres of Induced Polarization/ Resistivity surveys covering an area of approximately 9 sq kilometres. The surveys outlined a significant chargeability anomaly over an 800 metre by 1,200 metre area with depths ranging from near surface to 300 metres. The Alaska Vein, the mineralized New Year Breccia Zone and artisanal Elena copper workings all occur within the surveyed area. A total of eighteen distinct geophysical anomalies were identified, mapped, and sampled. Multiple mineralized structures and numerous artisanal workings were encountered and sampled during the program. Significant results from the program are highlighted in Figure 2 below.
From the completed program, the results of the geophysical survey, geological mapping, prospecting, sampling and the field results between alteration assemblages and assay results, the results may indicate the presence of a copper porphyry system below the surface of the property.

Vancouver, BC – May 25, 2021 – Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSX.V: RMI) (OTCQB: RIGMF) (FRA:4U5) (“Ridgestone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has commenced permitting for drill programs at both projects in Mexico: the Guadalupe y Calvo (GyC) gold-silver project in Chihuahua State and the Rebeico copper-gold project in Sonora State. The Company is planning for drilling to commence in the late summer following the end of the local rainy season.
“We are excited to advance both projects to allow for drilling later this year”
commented Jonathan George, CEO. “The maiden resource tabled for our GyC gold-silver project represents the beginning of a much larger story for the Company. At Rebeico, we are highly encouraged by the preliminary results from the recently-completed exploration program and look to announce assay results in the coming weeks. Our team has identified a number of highly-prospective new target areas, including the past-producing El Cobre copper mine, which has seen little to no modern-day exploration.”
Guadalupe y Calvo (GyC) Gold-Silver
Drilling at GyC is designed to further the recently-released maiden resource for the project. The current resource area, which stands at 356,000 oz AuEq in Indicated plus 460,000 oz AuEq in Inferred, remains open for expansion both along strike and at depth. Drilling will look to further define the high-grades at the Rosario and Nankin veins, in addition to testing for significant extensions within the district.
Rebeico Copper-Gold
The Company is permitting for a drill program to test the high-priority copper target areas that were the subject of a recently-completed exploration program. Assay results are anticipated in the coming weeks, which will serve to prioritize the numerous target areas being permitted.

Vancouver, BC – May 19, 2021 -Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSX.V: RMI) (OTCQB: RIGMF) (FRA:4U5) (“Ridgestone”) is pleased to announce it has completed another phase of exploration at it’s wholly-owned Rebeico project in Mexico. The program, which was previously announced on April 13th, 2021, was comprised of geologic mapping, prospecting and sampling with assays expected in the coming weeks. Work to date has been positive and continues to suggest that the identified surface copper-gold mineralization on the Rebeico claims may be related to a much larger unexposed subsurface mineralized system.
Exploration Program Highlights:
- The program included detailed geological mapping, prospecting and sampling around the past producing El Cobre copper mine, in addition to all significant chargeability and resistivity anomalies (‘geophysical anomalies’) identified from the 2018/2019 IP surveys which covered the New Year Zone, Elena Concession, and other significant mineralized areas.
- A total of 93 samples were collected with assays anticipated in the coming two to six weeks.
El Cobre Mine
A total of fourteen (14) samples were taken from the main mineralized structure and historical dumps, and detailed geological mapping of the surrounding area was undertaken. The main mineralized structure is oriented north-south with a dip of 50 degrees to the east, varying in thickness from one to three metres. The system is characterized as a high sulfidation vein system, strongly oxidized on surface, with quartz veinlets with chalcopyrite, molybdenite, and pyrite. Historical samples taken in 1960 by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica) reported copper grades from sampling of underground workings of 0.34%, 1.10%, 3.21%, 5.28%, 6.12%, 9.58%; and molybdenum values of 0.002%, 0.16%, 1.57%, and 1.58%. Additionally, a recent radiometric survey conducted by the Mexican Geological Survey over the area, indicated elevated potassium levels which may support the hypothesis that a porphyry system may be present below surface. Approximately four kilometres east of the El Cobre workings, a prominent, highly oxidized and altered gossan measuring 200 by 250 metres was mapped and twenty (20) rock-chip samples taken.
Regional Geophysical Anomalies
A detailed mapping and sampling program was conducted over a 5.25 square kilometre area, focusing on geophysical anomalies identified by past surveys. In 2018 and 2019 the Company completed 31 line-kilometres of Induced Polarization/ Resistivity surveys covering an area of approximately 9 sq kilometres. The surveys outlined a significant chargeability anomaly over an 800 metre by 1,200 metre area with depths ranging from near surface to 300 metres. The Alaska Vein, the mineralized New Year Breccia Zone and artisanal Elena copper workings all occur within the surveyed area. A total of eighteen distinct geophysical anomalies were identified for follow up on the current program, which were mapped and a total of 62 samples were collected. Over the majority of targets, significant mineralization was identified on surface. Taken in a regional context, with the presence of high sulfidation copper bearing veins, mineralized breccias that are interpreted as diatreme breccias and in conjunction with surface geochemistry and historical records, RMI finds that this may be evidence of a sub-surface porphyry-type system that is responsible for the numerous mineralized occurrences encountered in the project area.

Notes:
Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, changes in global gold markets or other relevant issues. The CIM definitions (2014) were followed for classification of Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade of reported inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred Mineral Resources as an indicated Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured Mineral Resource category.
The resource was prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng. of Ginto Consulting, an independent QP, with an effective date of May 10, 2021.
The mineral resources are presented at a 0.27 g/t AuEq cut-off grade in pits and 1.33 g/t for underground, without dilution. A specific gravity of 2.55 was utilized based on measurements and comparable project analysis. Assay grades were capped at 40 g/t gold for the Rosario vein and at 25 g/t gold for the Nankin vein, from 1m composited assays. Metallurgical recoveries of 95% were assumed for both gold and silver. Commodity prices of US$1,700/oz gold and US$23/oz silver were assumed.
The Whittle pit-constrained resource assumed a mining cost of US$1.50/t, processing cost of US$12.50/t, G&A of $4/t and an internal pit wall angle of 45 degrees.
Underground mineral resources are defined as material outside of the Whittle pit shell and assumed a mining cost of US$60/t, processing cost of US$12.50/t, and G&A of $4/t.
Rounding of estimates may result in summation differences
QA / QC
Reverse Circulation and Diamond types of drilling were conducted at GyC Project. The drilling was mainly focused on mineral resource definition by previous owners. The samples are sent for preparation to SGS in Mexico and assayed at their analytical facilities for fire assay with atomic absorption finish and by gravimetric finish for grades above 10gpt Au. It is the view of the QP that industry-standard QA/QC procedures to the program using reference materials, blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Vancouver, BC – April 13, 2021 – Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSX.V: RMI) (OTCQB: RIGMF) (FRA:4U5) (“Ridgestone”) is pleased to announce a phased exploration plan at it’s wholly-owned Rebeico project in Mexico. Work to date has been positive and indicates that the identified copper-gold mineralization on the Rebeico claims may be part of a much larger mineralized system and is most likely related to this system.
The current exploration phase will be comprised of geologic mapping, sampling and prospecting with the aim of delineating additional targets for follow-up exploration drilling. Specifically, the program will focus on the New Year Zone, the Santa Elena outcrop, and the El Cobre mine. In addition, the program will evaluate a number of copper and gold prospects identified on the project.
“We are excited to remobilize to the Rebeico project specifically given the significant past exploration efforts which have already delineated a number of high-grade copper and gold opportunities within the expansive property package” stated Jonathan George, Ridgestone’s CEO and Director. “Our focus of this next phase of exploration is to refine and prioritize the numerous copper and gold targets within the project area for a follow-up drill program and extend the areas of known mineralization.”
New Year Zone
Exploration efforts at the New Year Zone will follow up on the successful 2020 exploration program, which outlined a large zone of widespread copper and gold mineralization with rock chip sampling returning up to 0.65% copper and 12.95 g/t gold. The subsequent drill program confirmed the sub-surface extension of widespread mineralization identified on surface, with highlights including 1.56% copper plus 1.8 g/t gold over 19.30 metres from surface and 0.54% copper over 29.15 metres from surface. Based on geological interpretations of past exploration data, the Company will focus follow-up exploration to the east and north-east where mineralization is expected to be more pervasive.
Elena Concession
Previous rock-chip samples from the Elena concession returned assays of 3.77% copper over 1.5 metres and 3.42% copper over 1.5 metres, where artisanal workings are observed in a stockwork/breccia zone with abundant copper oxides. The Elena concession is underlain by an intense chargeability anomaly, which may represent a potential source of the copper mineralization observed at surface. Approximately 450 meters west of Elena, three rock-chip samples collected from outcrop returned from 1.31% to 2.13% copper suggesting a possible extension of the mineralized zone. Additionally, approximately 600 metres north of Elena, channel samples collected from outcrop returned 2.42% copper and 4.35% copper over a 1.5 metre interval.
El Cobre Mine
The El Cobre mine was a high-grade underground copper mine operated by Asarco during the 1960’s. Based on historical records, the mine was developed on three levels down to a depth of 130 metres with over 180 metres of lateral development on each level. Historical sampling of waste material discarded from prior operations ranged between 2.07% to 2.41% copper with notable gold, silver and molybdenum credits. The current exploration program will focus on prospecting around the El Cobre mine and surrounding area for extensions to the high-grade copper mineralization and delineating targets for follow-up drill testing.
Regional Exploration
The Company’s wholly-owned 3,459-hectare land position that comprises the Rebeico property has seen little to no modern-day exploration. The exploration program will focus on following up on a number of high-grade artisanal workings documented by Mexican Government reports and the Mexican Geological Survey (Servicio Geológico Mexicano or “SGM”).
The Company has engaged Prospeccion y Desarrollo Minero del Norte S.A. de C.V. or ProDeMin of Mexico to assist with the exploration efforts. ProDeMin engages primarily in project management, in addition to exploration efforts such as geological mapping and sampling, surveying, prospecting and project generation. ProDeMin’s clients include senior gold companies such as Kinross Gold, Argonaut Gold, and Alio Gold, as well a number of Mexican-focused exploration companies.

Vancouver, BC – April 7, 2021 – Ridgestone Mining Inc. (TSXV: RMI) (OTCQB: RIGMF) (FSE: 4U5) (“Ridgestone”) is pleased to announce encouraging results from geophysical surveys and follow-up exploration on its wholly-owned Rebeico project in Sonora, Mexico.
Highlights
- Induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys totaling 31.4 line-kilometres (~6.0 sq. km) were previously completed by Zonge International of Tucson, Arizona.
- A strong IP high (chargeability anomaly) with an extent of 1,400 metres north-south and 800 metres east-west was identified south of the Alaska vein. This anomaly is most pronounced beneath the Company’s Elena concession where surface sampling has returned up to 3.77% copper and 0.741 ppm gold.
- High-grade copper ± gold is pervasive throughout the property with 1.56% copper plus 1.80 g/t gold intersected over 19.3 metres from surface at the New Year Zone and 2.78% copper plus 8.69 g/t gold over 2.0 metres from the Alaska Vein.
Jonathan George, Ridgestone’s CEO and Director, commented, “The IP and resistivity survey has outlined a strong anomaly which is very pronounced at the Elena concession. Given the significant copper intersected from drilling on the New Year Zone and Alaska Vein, in addition to the high-grade surface samples from the Elena concession, we are highly encouraged about the potential for a significant copper system at Rebeico.”
The Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity surveys were carried out by Zonge International (“Zonge”) of Tucson, Arizona and consisted of 15 east-west lines spaced 200 metres apart, comprising coverage of 31.4-line kilometers of dipole-dipole measurements over an area of approximately 6.0 square kilometers.
The survey originated over the key Alaska vein, and provided coverage south through the New Year Zone and Elena concession. A summary report of the data provided by Zonge included 15 sets of IP and resistivity cross sections and horizontal slices at various elevations.
The Zonge report identified a pronounced high-chargeability feature which was encountered to the south and east of the Alaska vein at depths of 250 to 300 metres below surface, progressively increasing in width and intensity toward the south. This high-chargeability anomaly was identified over a total extent of 1,400 metres north-south and 800 metres east-west. The upper portion of the anomaly becomes progressively closer to the surface toward the south and is strongest beneath the Company’s Elena concession (Figure 1). Samples from copper mineralized outcrops at the Elena concession such as those in Figure 2 have assayed up to 3.77% Cu over 1.5 metres and 3.42% Cu over 1.5 metres; other samples assayed up to 0.741 ppm gold.
