Wawa Gold Corridor continues to shine

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

Red Pine Exploration Inc., a gold exploration company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is strengthening its position as a major mineral exploration and development player in the Michipicoten region. The Wawa Gold Project located in the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt of Ontario, a region that has seen major investment by several producers in the last five years has a land package that hosts numerous historic gold mines and is over 6,900 hectares in size. The project is Led by Quentin Yarie, CEO, who has over 25 years of experience in mineral exploration.

Red Pine recently announced 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)
