RED PINE INTERSECTS 3.08 G/T GOLD OVER 55.66 METRES AT ITS NEW DISCOVERY ON THE WAWA PROJECT
Red Pine Exploration Inc. has released results froma significant gold intersection from its 2021 drilling program in the Surluga South discovery area of its Wawa project in Ontario.
The Surluga South discovery is now extending up to 500 metres downdip from the boundary of the current mineral resource of the Surluga deposit. The mineralized gold intersection in SD-21-302 is located at a vertical depth of 590 metres, approximately 30 metres updip from 25.73 grams per tonne gold over 4.78 metres (estimated true width) intersected in hole SD-21-298A (announced on Sept. 20, 2021).
Highlights of the 2021 drilling program:
3.08 g/t Au over 55.66 m estimated true width (TW) in the Jubilee shear zone includes three higher-grade intervals of: 27.21 g/t Au over 3.81 metres (TW), including 95.36 g/t over 0.92 metre (TW);4.31 g/t Au over 10.10 metres (TW), including 26.64 g/t over 0.93 metre (TW) and 7.78 g/t over 0.93 metre (TW);5.98 g/t Au over 2.30 metres (TW), including 13.54 g/t over 0.75 metre; Visible gold observed in several holes (assays pending) completed in the Surluga South discovery, Surluga North extension and the Sadowski vein.
"The ongoing drilling in our Surluga South discovery within the Jubilee shear zone continues to produce impressive results. The mineralized intersection in SD-21-302 indicates that thick zones of gold mineralization exist in our Surluga South discovery, and that these zones can reach an overall grade and thickness comparable to those forming the core of the current mineral resource of the Surluga deposit," said Quentin Yarie, president and chief executive officer.
Current drilling program
As part of its continuing 2021 drilling program, Red Pine is testing the northern and southern extensions of the Surluga deposit, and the extension of the Minto mine deposit beyond the footprints of their respective mineral resources. One rig is drilling at the northern end of the Surluga deposit and the second rig is drilling at the southern end of the Surluga deposit, testing the Minto mine shear zone and the newly identified Sadowski gold zone. Drill production is also continuing to improve on the project and the third drill, which will initially be positioned in the Darwin-Grace-Nyman greenfields target, is scheduled to start next week.
At the southern end of the Surluga deposit, holes SD-21-296A, 297A, 298A (respectively announced on Aug. 12, 2021, and Sept. 20, 2021), 302 and 305A (assays pending) have successfully intersected the Jubilee shear zone, up to 500 metres away from the boundary of the Surluga deposit mineral resource. Visible gold has been observed in hole SD-21-305A (assays pending) in one quartz vein in the Jubilee shear zone.
Significant mineralization was intersected in hole SD-21-298A in the Minto vein, downdip of the Minto mine deposit (announced on Sept. 2, 2021). Drilling is expected to start shortly to define the size and extent of this new zone of gold mineralization.
In the Sadowski zone, visible gold was observed in a quartz vein in hole SD-21-305A (assays are pending), approximately 65 metres along strike of the Sadowski vein intersections in SD-21-296A, 297A and 298A (announced on July 19, 2021, Sept. 2, 2021, and Sept. 20, 2021).
At the northern end of the Surluga deposit, the continuing drilling program indicated that the Jubilee shear zone extends downdip of the current limit of the inferred resource. This is supported by the results from holes SD-21-299 and SD-21-301 (announced on Sept. 20, 2021) that confirm the extension of gold mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone beyond the current inferred resource of the Surluga deposit. The Jubilee shear zone was also successfully intersected in holes SD-21-304, 306 and 308 (assay pending for these holes), with visible gold observed in hole SD-21-308 in two quartz veins, SD-21-303 intersected with 2.27 g/t Au over 2.73 m. Assays are pending for the balance of hole SD-21-303.

On-site quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures
Drill core samples were transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at Actlabs in Ancaster, Ont. Individual samples were labelled and placed in plastic sample bags that were then sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags and then shipped. The residual coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage 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.
