Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp announced the successful completion of its 2011 drilling program on the Redford Iron Ore Property located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The program consisted of 62 diamond drill holes, totaling 10,282 metres, as well as ground geophysical surveys and a field reconnaissance program. Results from this 2011 program are currently being evaluated by Ridgemont in order to plan and budget for the next phase.
Highlights from this most recent set of results include:
| Drill Hole | From (metres) | To (metres) | Interval (metres) | Magnetite Iron % |
| RD11-46 | 145 | 155 | 10 | 45.7 |
| RD11-47 | 77 | 88 | 11 | 58.5 |
| RD11-50 | 24.4 | 34 | 9.6 | 47.7 |
| RD11-58 | 46 | 65 | 19 | 51.0 |

| RD11-61 | 49 | 56 | 7 | 51.1 |
Mr Brian Penney president and CEO of Ridgemont said that "We are pleased to have successfully completed our initial drill program at Redford. As a result of this work we have been able to confirm significant mineralization extending several hundred metres east of the old Noranda pit. In addition, our most recent results are indicating the potential of additional mineralization outside of the currently understood limits of the Brynnor ore body. This information will be important as we complete our assessment of the property and plan the next phase of our exploration program."
