Red Eagle Mining Intersects 4.75 Metres at 20.3 Grams Gold per Tonne Below the Current Resource Extending Vertical Extent

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX:R) (BVL:R) (OTCQX:RDEMF) is pleased to announce results from ongoing underground delineation drilling at the San Ramon Gold Mine, Santa Rosa Gold Project, Antioquia, Colombia.  Results from 35 additional underground diamond drill holes have been received (SRDU-0196 to SRDU-0231).  Most of this drilling is located below the mine workings along 300 metres of strike between sections 856,970 E and 857,200 E extending the vertical extent of known gold mineralization.  Mineralization is open to depth in an area with no previous drilling and outside of the mineral resource and mineral reserve.  Results continue to return intercepts with grades significantly higher than the reserve grade of 5.2 g/t Au with highlights including intersections:

Three underground diamond drill rigs have completed 20,372 metres in 231 stope delineation holes with assays pending on hole SRDU-0216.  The results from 195 underground stope delineation holes (SRDU-0001 to SRDU-0195) were previously announced.  For complete drilling results, please see Table 1 - Drill Hole Intersections, Table 2 - Drill Hole Specifications, Figure 1 - Long Section, Figure 2 and Figure 3 - Cross Sections.  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 photostream on flickr.
