RDG Ridgeline Minerals Corp

Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RDG) ("Ridgemont") is pleased to announce
that drilling has commenced at the Redford Iron Ore Property located on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The program will consist of 13,000 metres
(m) of diamond drilling as well as an aggressive ground geophysics and
reconnaissance program with the goal of outlining a National Instrument (NI)
43-101 compliant iron ore resource this fall and delineating new iron ore
targets.


The Redford Property is host to the former producing Brynnor iron deposit.
Noranda Exploration Ltd. mined the near surface portion of the iron ore body in
the 1960's and produced 4,480,940 tonnes at 56% iron. The mine was closed in
1968 at the expiration of the concentrate sales contract with Japanese steel
makers; however, the underground extension of the ore body was never mined.
Drilling will take place in and around the Brynnor pit to test the underground
extension of the ore body. This program will be carried out by Cabo Drilling
(Pacific) Corp. and will take five months to complete approximately. The goal of
this program is to outline an initial NI 43-101 iron ore resource.


In 2010, Ridgemont completed an airborne magnetic and gravity survey which
outlined additional surface targets. These targets will be followed up by ground
work commencing in May, which will further refine the target areas in
preparation for future drilling.
