Vancouver, Canada, August 13, 2020 – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (“Ridgeline” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed its oversubscribed and upsized initial public offering (the “IPO”) and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). The IPO consisted of the issuance of 11,200,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.45 per Unit (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds $5,040,000. Ridgeline’s common shares were listed on August 13, 2020 and are expected to commence trading on the TSX-V under the symbol “RDG” on August 17, 2020.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.55 for a period of 30 months from August 13, 2020.  Following completion of the Offering, if the closing price of the Shares is equal to or greater than $0.85 per Share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date that is 30 calendar days from the date when written notice of such new expiry date is sent by the Company to the holders of the Warrants.

The Offering was managed exclusively by Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Agent”). Miller Thomson LLP acted as legal counsel to Ridgeline and DuMoulin Black LLP acted as legal counsel to the Agent. As compensation, the Agent received cash commission of 6% from the sale of Units, with reduced commission of 2% on president’s list purchasers. The Agent also received 576,940 compensation warrants exercisable for 30 months from the closing date, with each compensation warrant exercisable to acquire one common share of Ridgeline at an exercise price of $0.45 per common share. Further, the Agent received 55,555 common shares of Ridgeline as corporate finance fee on closing.

Additional information on the Company and the IPO can be found in the Company’s final prospectus dated July 31, 2020 as filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
