Red Pine discovers two high-grade structures: Intersects 5.57 g/t gold over 8.51 m west of the Surluga Deposit and 10.18 g/t gold over 4.89 m south of the Sadowski Zone

Rhea-AI Summary

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (OTCQB: RDEXF) announced significant findings from its exploration program at the Wawa Gold Project. The company has expanded mineralization beyond the Surluga Deposit and identified new gold-bearing structures. Key highlights include drill results showing 5.57 g/t gold over 8.51 m and 10.18 g/t gold over 4.89 m. With over C$4 million in cash, Red Pine is well-positioned for continued exploration. CEO Quentin Yarie emphasized the potential for a larger resource as drilling continues.

Positive

• Expansion of mineralization outside the Surluga Deposit.
• High-grade intersections reported, including 5.57 g/t and 10.18 g/t gold.
• Discovery of new gold-bearing structures.
• Well-funded with over C$4 million in cash.

Negative

• None.

TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX) (OTCQB: RDEXF) ("Red Pine" or the "Company") is pleased to report new results from its 2022 exploration program. Red Pine continues to expand the footprint of mineralization outside the current resource of the Surluga Deposit and quantify additional gold bearing structures on the property.

The exploration program of Red Pine continues to validate the presence of a large gold system on the Wawa Gold Project.

Exploration highlights include:

• Continue to expand mineralization beyond the current resource of the Surluga Deposit
• Continue to identify and quantify additional gold bearing structures on the property
• Wawa Gold corridor west of the Jubilee Shear Zone:
• SD-22-371 – 2.69 g/t Au over 4.01 m including 8.48 g/t Au over 1.15 m
• Exploration confirms the presence of both high-grade mineralization and multiple gold zones in a newly identified large intrusion-related gold system (IRGS) west of the Jubilee Shear Zone
• The Abitibi greenstone belt contains several IRGS related deposits. For example, the Young-Davidson and the Côté Gold deposits
• Continuity of mineralization in the IGRS is supported by gold intersections in 5 drill holes that are covering 175 m in the system
• SD-22-376 – 5.57 g/t gold over 8.51 m including 8.26 g/t gold over 1.38 m and 19.39 g/t gold over 1.11 m
• At a larger scale, mineralization associated with the IGRS west of the Jubilee Shear Zone can be traced over 1 km
• A new and near-surface network of extensional quartz veins was discovered 80 m south of the Sadowski vein system in the hanging wall of the Surluga Deposit – expanding the potential for a bulk underground and/or shallow pit constrained resource.
• Surluga South extension – 600 m south from resource boundary and at a depth of +600 m:
• SD-22-379A – 10.18 g/t gold over 4.89 m including 59.70 g/t gold over 0.69 m (CL)
• Well funded with >C$4 million in cash on hand

Quentin Yarie, President and CEO of Red Pine Exploration commented: "The exploration story continues to unfold with additional discoveries made outside the Surluga and Minto resources that remain open down dip and down-plunge.  Our drill campaigns from 2021 to 2022 continue to deliver significant intersections at the Wawa Gold Project. The results demonstrate the potential to increase the size of the existing resource on the project with continued exploration. Our recent discovery and confirmation of an intrusion related gold bearing system (Figure 1 & 2) west of the Jubilee shear significantly expands the potential of a large tonnage shallow gold deposit."

Highlights include:

• Wawa Gold corridor west of the Jubilee Shear Zone (Figure 1 & 2)
• Selected drilling intersections of significance in the mineralized system west of the Surluga deposit includes:
• SD-22-376 – From 115.18 m to 255.99 m, three zones of mineralization containing 5.57 g/t gold over 8.51 m, 4.41 g/t gold over 1.27 m and 0.35 g/t gold over 26.43m.
• Indications that a sizeable mineralized system with intrusion-related gold overprinted by orogenic mineralization is located west of the Jubilee Shear Zone
• Characterized by stacked zones of gold mineralization of variable width and grade with high-grade gold intersected in two zones
  
  
• Extensional Vein systems (Figure 1 and Figure 3)
• Discovery of a new quartz vein network located 80 m south of the Sadowski Vein network
• SD-22-379A – 10.18 g/t gold over 4.89 m including 59.70 g/t gold over 0.69 m Core Length (CL)
  
  
• Surluga South target
• Proving that gold mineralization extends at least 600 m away from the current boundary of the resource of the Surluga Deposit in the Jubilee Shear Zone (Figure 3)
• SD-22-371 – 2.69 g/t Au over 4.01 m including 8.48 g/t Au over 1.15 m (CL)

Assay results presented over core length and are estimated to represent > 70 % true width in the Jubilee Shear Zone and the Minto Mine Shear Zone. In the Surluga North Vein Network, assay results are estimated to represent > 35 % true width. In the Sadowski vein network and the new vein network south of Sadowski, the intersections are estimated to represent between 40 and 75 % true width. In the Wawa Gold Corridor, additional drilling is necessary to establish the true width of the mineralization zones.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Measures

Drill core samples were transported in security sealed bags for analyses to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario. Individual samples were labelled, placed in plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags and shipped. The residual coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage if further work or verification is needed.

Red Pine has implemented a quality-control program to comply with best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. As part of its QA/QC program, Red Pine inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition to random standards, blanks, and duplicates.
