Erwin Wong, CFO and Director of Ridgestone Mining, commented: ‘While these sampling results represent material that was uneconomic at the time, we are highly encouraged by the grades presented in the context of todays metal price environment. The sampling results serve to reaffirm the historical mining records and moreover, the potential mineralization hosted by the Alaska and associated veins. Going forward, we are incorporating the bulk sample results in addition to the results from drilling, sampling, mapping and prospecting to refine our model for the high-grade mineralization hosted by the Alaska vein. Future planned exploration will include metallurgical testing and sampling of historical production adits and drifts.’
