Red Pine Exploration Inc. has received results for hole SD-16-40 drilled as part of its on-going drilling program at the Wawa Gold Project. Highlights from SD-16-40 include: 0.78 g/t gold over 90.8 metres in multiples gold zones in the Wawa Gold Corridor including: 16.82 g/t gold over 1.92 metres in the Surluga Road Shear Zone, 2.09 g/t gold over 7.3 metres in the Jubilee Shear Zone and 1.27 g/t gold over 5 metres in the William Gold Zone; The discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization in the footwall containing 0.92 g/t gold over 11 metres, including 1.53 g/t gold over 4.5 metres; and The discovery of gold mineralization in the Hornblende Shear Zone containing 0.94 g/t gold over 22 metres, including 1.17 g/t gold over 14 metres. SD-16-40 was drilled to test the hypothesis that the Wawa Gold Corridor is comprised of multiple stacked gold zones in an area that remains almost entirely under-explored outside the Jubilee Shear Zone. The Jubilee Shear Zone hosts the Surluga Deposit - the currently defined 1,088,000 ounces inferred resource. The intersection of six individual zones of gold mineralization in SD-16-40 strongly supports this hypothesis and indicates that much of the gold remains to be found in the footwall of the inferred resource. The intersected gold zones include from top to bottom: the Algoma Shear Zone, the Jubilee Shear Zone (current host of the inferred resource), the Surluga Road Shear Zone, the William Gold Zone, a newly discovered gold zone, and the Hornblende Shear Zone. SD-16-40 also confirms that the gold mineralization identified in the Hornblende Shear and the William Gold Zone during the Fall 2015 drilling program are respectively mineralized between surface and 300 metres below surface for the Hornblende Shear Zone, and between surface and 150 metres below surface for the William Gold Zone. (i)Assay results reported over intersection length estimated in the Jubilee and Hornblende Shear Zone to represent greater than 85% true width; As they represent discoveries, no true width estimation are currently defined for the intersection in the newly intersected gold zone and Surluga Road Shear Zone. The on-going diamond drill program is focused on expanding the Surluga Deposit to the north. Holes SD-17-48 and SD-17-49 targeted the northeastern edge of the inferred resource whereas SD-17-50 is targeting the shallower extension of the Wawa Gold Corridor up-section of SD-16-40. Drill core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Timmins, Ontario. Individual samples are labeled, placed in plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples are then placed into durable rice bags that are then shipped. The remaining coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage at the Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Timmins, Ontario 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.
