Ridgeline Minerals Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement

Vancouver, April 5, 2023 - Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (FSE: 0GC0) ("Ridgeline" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 through the sale of up to 10,000,000 units ("the Units") at the price of $0.20 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue.

The proceeds from the sale of the private placement will be used to fund exploration activities at the Company's Nevada and Idaho 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 to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 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 or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the private placement and this financing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued in the Private Placement will be subject to a four (4) month hold period from the closing date under applicable securities laws in Canada and amongst other things, receipt by Ridgeline of all necessary regulatory approvals, including Exchange approval. The Company anticipates closing of the private placement as soon as practicable subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
