Red Eagle Mining announces exploration discovery at the Santa Rosa Gold Project

VANCOUVER, July 10, 2017 /CNW/ - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX: R, BVL: R, OTCQX: RDEMF) is pleased to announce results to date from the on-going exploration drilling program at the 100% owned 100 km2 Santa Rosa Gold Project, Antioquia, Colombia. A total of 8,268 metres have been drilled in 22 core holes from eight widely-spaced platforms spread over several new target zones within a four square kilometer area to the west of the San Ramon Gold Deposit. The new targets are all located within five kilometres of the completed Santa Rosa Mill. Highlights from the program include the following intersections:

• PL-007 - 1.00m at 42.09 g/t Au from 119.30m down hole (Luis Bran zone)
• PL-007 - 0.55m at 73.47 g/t Au from 252.15m down hole (Luis Bran zone)
• PL-018 - 0.73m at 40.16 g/t Au from 202.37m down hole (Canada Rica zone)
• PL-020 - 0.50m at 29.20 g/t Au from 225.30m down hole (Guacamaya zone)
• PL-020 - 0.50m at 36.19 g/t Au from 397.65m down hole (Guacamaya zone)
• PL-021 - 0.50m at 26.40 g/t Au from 305.40m down hole (Guacamaya zone)

Results from the exploration drilling are very encouraging and confirm the existence of numerous high-grade gold veins distributed throughout the western sector of the large Santa Rosa Gold Project, and notably within trucking distance of the Santa Rosa Mill. The gold mineralized veins are hosted in competent granodiorite and extend to surface.

For complete drilling results, please see Table 1 - Drill Hole Intersections, Table 2 - Drill Hole Specifications.Figure 1 Drill Hole Plan, and Figure 2 Cross Section are available on Red Eagle Mining's website.Drill assays were composited by length-weighted averaging into intersections using a 2 g/t Au cut-off grade.For photographs of the drill core see Red Eagle Mining's flickr.
