Swift is a Carlin-Type gold exploration project located in Lander county Nevada within the prolific Cortez district of the Battle Mountain – Eureka Trend. The claim block is comprised of 785 BLM claims (14,651 acres) and 3,697 acres of private fee ground for a combined total of 18,348 acres or  75 km² and is directly adjacent to the historic Elder Creek open-pit mine. Numerous multi-million ounce past and currently producing gold mines including the Pipeline, Cortez Hills, Fourmile and Goldrush deposits are located downtrend of Swift along the Cortez Structural Corridor. Ridgeline’s Phase I drill program in 2020 intersected altered and locally mineralized Wenban formation host rocks, which had not previously been identified at the Swift project by historic operators. This was a significant development for the company as the Wenban formation is the primary gold host for all >5.0 Moz. gold deposits across the Cortez District.

NGM will retain further options to increase its interest to a total 75% interest. NGM has assumed operatorship of the project immediately with highlights of the earn-in below:
