RED PINE INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD MINERALIZATION IN THE EXTENSIONS OF THE SURLUGA DEPOSIT; INTERSECTS 42.95 G/T GOLD OVER 1.92 METRES IN THE JUBILEE SHEAR ZONE SOUTH OF THE PARKHILL FAULT

Red Pine Exploration Inc. has released new results from its 2022 exploration program. Red Pine drilling continues to expand the footprint of mineralization outside the current resource of the Surluga deposit and quantify additional exploration targets on the property.

Highlights

• Surluga North:
  • High-grade mineralization occurs up to 325 metres away from the current resource boundary in the Surluga North area with the zone open down dip and longitudinally north and south;
  • Intersection of 11.06 grams per tonne gold over 4.00 metres, including 20.80 grams per tonne gold over 2.00 metres, in the Surluga North discovery;
• Surluga South:
  • New and shallow network of mineralized quartz veins discovered in SD-22-379A with visible gold observed in two separate veins (assay pending);
  • Observation of visible gold in a quartz vein in the Jubilee shear zone in SD-22-379A that is located at the outer edge of the Surluga South discovery indicating that the mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone (JSZ) continues to depth (assays pending);
• Jubilee shear zone south of the Parkhill fault:
  • 2022 drilling confirmed the JSZ over an additional strike length of 1.8 kilometres -- for a total of more than six kilometres of the gold-bearing structure;
  • Discovery of 42.95 grams per tonne gold over 1.92 metres, including 85.72 grams per tonne gold over 0.96 metre, in the Jubilee shear zone south of the Parkhill fault in JS-22-368;
  • Gold mineralization in JS-22-387 in the Jubilee shear zone, located 1.2 kilometres north of JS-22-368.

Quentin Yarie, president and chief executive officer of Red Pine Exploration, commented: "As we have always theorized, and part of our decision to acquire 100 per cent of the Wawa gold project, was that gold mineralization is pervasive throughout the structures within the intrusive complex. The recent drill results represent an important step forward in our progress of expanding the current resource of the Surluga deposit. These results of high-grade gold mineralization extending far beyond the current footprints of the existing resources add credence to our theory. Results to date support our view that there is a large, continuous corridor of mineralization hosting multiple centres of mineralization/deposits that extend over at least six kilometres in strike length, and we are showing that they have continuity."

Expanding the Surluga deposit

In the Jubilee shear zone north discovery area, drilling from phase 1 continues to expand the footprints of the significant mineralization discovered in the area. Gold mineralization of significance can be traced 270 metres down dip of the boundary of the current resource. With an intersection of 11.06 grams per tonne gold over 4.00 metres in hole SD-22-361, the Surluga North discovery remains open at depth. Visible gold was observed in holes SD-22-345, SD-22-380 (assays pending) and SD-22-385, whereas strong quartz veining and sulphide mineralization were observed in holes SD-22-357 and SD-22-363. Phase 1 drilling in the Surluga North area continues to expand the footprint of the Surluga North vein network, which is overlying the Jubilee shear zone. Hole SD-22-350 intersected the outer edge of the Surluga South discovery, explaining weaker gold mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone.

Jubilee shear zone south of the Parkhill fault

Red Pine's drilling confirmed the presence of high-grade gold mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone south of the Parkhill fault. Gold mineralization has also been intersected in hole JS-22-387, which is located 1.2 kilometres north of the high-grade intersection in JS-22-368 (JS-22-368 and JS-22-387). Phase 1 of the company's 2022 drilling program has now demonstrated the continuity of the Jubilee shear zone south of the Parkhill fault over 1.8 kilometres and the structure is mineralized, with the shear zone remaining open to the south.

Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures

Drill core samples were transported in security-sealed bags for analyses to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ont. 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 grade to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition to random standards, blanks and duplicates.

Qualified person

Quentin Yarie, PGeo, and chief executive officer of Red Pine and the qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the news release's technical information.

COVID-19 precautions

Red Pine has developed and implemented compliant precautions and procedures according to guidelines for the province of Ontario. Protocols were put in place to ensure the company's employees' and contractors' safety, thereby reducing the potential for community contact and spreading of the virus.
