Red Lake Gold Inc. Announces the Discovery of MMI
Gold Anomalies Along the LP Fault
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 19, 2020 – Red Lake Gold Inc. (CSE: RGLD)(FWB:P11)(“Red
Lake Gold ” or the " Corporation") is pleased to announce that its recently completed soil
sampling program has identified MMI gold anomalies at its Whirlwind Jack Gold Project, the most
prominent of which cluster within a magnetic low corridor along the LP Fault (see Figures 1 and
2, below).
“While early-stage, we are obviously very pleased that results from our inaugural soil sampling
program have outlined a number of high-priority MMI gold anomalies that appear to situate
along the LP Fault, a regionally-important structure that can be traced for more than 12km at our
Whirlwind Jack Gold Project. As expressed by geophysics, the LP Fault corridor narrows while
crossing-over the project border between ourselves and Great Bear Resources and then appears
to swell and expand in size as we trace it along strike within the Whirlwind Jack Gold Project.
Interestingly, the high-priority MMI gold anomalies identified by our inaugural survey start
clustering together along the LP Fault around the point where the LP Fault corridor begins to
widen within Whirlwind Jack, comprising a group located approximately half a kilometre to the
west of our claim boundary with Great Bear. Our widely-spaced soil survey will require further
sampling to follow-up and refine these MMI gold anomalies, and a larger more geographically
expansive program given that our inaugural soil sampling program only scratched the surface of
the project’s scale, with just 1.4 km of LP Fault strike-length at Whirlwind Jack sampled, a small
portion of the much larger 12 km of LP Fault strike-length that the projects hosts (with work
ongoing to identify further LP Fault strike-length based on a recently completed fall geophysical
- 2 -
program). The identification of MMI gold anomalies along the LP Fault at Whirlwind Jack sets the
stage for exciting times ahead as we work to systematically and methodologically explore the
project,” stated Ryan Kalt, Chief Executive Officer of Red Lake Gold.
The Whirlwind Jack Gold Project is a district-scale gold exploration project covering more than
21,000 ha across 1,042 mining claims. The project is located adjacent to the 9,140 ha Dixie Gold
Project being advanced by Great Bear Resources Ltd.
Red Lake Gold performed an inaugural soil sampling program within an eastern part of its
Whirlwind Jack Gold Project in late-August (see news release, Red Lake Gold Inc. Commences
Inaugural Soil Sampling Along the LP Fault Structure at Whirlwind Jack, dated August 19, 2020).

The phase one soil sampling program focused on an approximately 1.4km east-to-west by 1.25km
north-to-south portion of the Whirlwind Jack Gold Project starting at the claim boundary with
neighbouring Great Bear Resources Ltd., and delivered a total of 649 soil samples to the
laboratory.

The survey identified MMI gold anomalies within the sampled area. Of immediate focus for Red
Lake Gold are four high-priority MMI gold anomalies identified within the southern half of the
sampled area, approximate location of which is shown below in Figure 2.

In response to the MMI soil sample results, Red Lake Gold has engaged Clark Exploration and
Consulting Inc. to evaluate and plan additional exploration work, both in terms of follow-up and
expansionary programs, details of which shall be provided in due course.
Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemistry is a geochemical exploration technique. MMI measures
metal ions that travel upwards from mineralization to unconsolidated surface materials such as
soil, till, sand etc. Further information on MMI technology may be found at:

The area underlying Red Lake Gold’s phase one MMI soil sampling program was staked in August
2018 which is relevant as the assemblage of the present-day Whirlwind Jack Gold Project

substantively preceded and predated the subsequent discovery of gold within a newly recognized
exploration structure – the “LP Fault”, as announced by Great Bear Resources Ltd. in May 2019
(see Great Bear Resources news release, Great Bear Drills New High Grade Gold Discovery at
Dixie, dated May 28, 2019).

The Corporation cautions that results or discoveries on the adjacent property (e.g. Great Bear
Resources’ Dixie Gold Project) may not be indicative as to the presence of mineralization on the
Corporation's property (e.g. Red Lake Gold’s Whirlwind Jack Gold Project).
