Dig Deep Why Exploration Done Differently Works With Chad Peters
In the episode, we chat with Chad Peters, Presidential, DEO and Director of Ridgeline Minerals (TSX listed - TSX.V:RDG and OTCQB:RDGMF) who are an exploration company focused on exploring high-grade Carlin-Type gold deposits in Nevada.
Chad has a background in geology and Co-founded Ridgeline Minerals in 2018 with a focus on exploring Tier-1, Carlin-Type gold deposits in Nevada. He talks about their partnership at the Swift project and their Selena project
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Ridgeline Minerals was co-founded with a drilling company, which has significantly reduced its exploration costs.
- This also de-risks the early part of the exploration process, which trips most companies up.
- When it comes to exploration, they are always pushing the envelope and trying innovative ideas, which is producing results across their five projects.
- They have recently closed a significant financing deal.
- In the fall, they will be drilling their flagship Selena project.
- Selena hosts a zoned Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD).
- There is also potentially open-pittable Ag-Au at Chinchilla, Juniper, Revival and Broken Egg and maybe a deeper high-grade potential at the CRD Zone.
- At Swift, they have had intercepts at up to 5 metres of 400/420 grams silver point, 6 grams of gold and about 9% lead/zinc.
- Nevada is still an easy place to mine. There is little pushback from the community and good infrastructure.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Not only did they like that we were pushing new ideas, tying some different concepts, but we also could drill at a significantly cheaper cost. ´
‘I’m the largest shareholder in the company... the whole focus is on de-risking the exploration process.’
‘We don't have to go find 4/5 million ounces of gold to make an economic mine, half a million is enough.’
