Ridgeline Minerals Closes Robber Gulch
Transaction with Scout Discoveries Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 21, 2024) - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV:
RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) ("
Ridgeline
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce,
further to its news release of
February 21, 2024
, the Company has received TSX Venture Exchange
acceptance
to proceed with the sale of the Robber Gulch oxide gold project ("
Robber Gulch
" or the
"
Project
") to Scout Discoveries Corp. ("
Scout
"), a privately-owned Delaware company (the
"
Transaction
").
The Transaction was completed effective March 20, 2024 wherein Scout acquired 100% of Ridgeline's
interest (including assuming the underlying lease agreement and all outstanding liabilities of the
Company) in Robber Gulch for the sale price of US$150,000 comprised of a cash payment of
US$50,000 and 200,000 common shares of Scout with an aggregate value of US$100,000.
The Project is comprised of 117 lode mining claims in Cassia County, Idaho and is host to an early-
stage Carlin-Type gold system with shallow-oxide exploration potential.
The Company's President, CEO and Director, Mr. Chad Peters (the "
Interested Party
"), is also a
director and shareholder of Scout and the Transaction is therefore a "related party transaction" within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions
("
MI 61-101
"). The directors of Ridgeline, excluding the Interested Party, have determined
that the Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements
of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the
consideration for, the Transaction, insofar as it involves the Interested Party, exceeds 25% of the
Company's market capitalization.
The Company will file a material change report in respect of the Transaction. The material change report
will not be filed more than 21 days before the closing of the Transaction, which the Company deems
reasonable in the circumstances as the Company has previously disclosed in its news release dated
February 21, 2024 that the Company planned to complete the Transaction as soon as practicable
following receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals.
