RIDGELINE MINERALS ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Ridgeline Minerals Corp. has arranged a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $3.5-million through the sale of up to 23,333,333 units at the price of 15 cents per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one-half non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of the company at a price of 25 cents for a period of 24 months from the date of issue.

The proceeds from the sale of the private placement will be used to finance exploration activities at the company's Nevada projects and for general working capital.

Certain directors and officers of the company may acquire securities under the private placement. Any such participation would be considered a related party transaction, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to, nor the consideration paid by, such persons will exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.

The company may pay a cash finder's fee of 6 per cent in connection with the private placement. All securities to be issued in the private placement will be subject to a four-month-plus-one-day hold period from the closing date under applicable securities laws in Canada. The company anticipates closing the private placement as soon as practicable, and closing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
