Multiple Zones Of Gold Mineralization Intersected In Wawa Gold Corridor 

 

TORONTO, ON - Red Pine Exploration Inc. received results for hole SD-16-40 drilled as part of its on-going drilling program at the Wawa Gold Project. Quentin Yarie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Pine states, "SD-16-40 validates our exploration model and confirms that the Wawa Gold Corridor is made up of multiple stacked gold zones. We intersected 6 zones of gold mineralization within 300 meters of the inferred resource boundary which further proves the untapped potential of the under-explored Wawa Gold Corridor."

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 meters below w surface for the Hornblende Shear Zone, and between surface and 150 meters below surface for the William Gold Zone.

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.
