Redstar Announces 2017 Fall Drill Program Targeting Multiple Gold Zones

at the Unga Gold Project

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Redstar initiating 2017 Fall Drill Program of up to 3,750m.

• Program’s primary drill focus is the Shumagin and Bunker Hill Gold Zones.

• The Company is evaluating possible maiden drill program on the Apollo-Sitka Trend.

• Additional information, maps and drill targets, long sections will be available upon

commencement of the drill program.

September 21, 2017: Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX.V: RGC, OTCQB: RGCTF, FRA: RGG)

("Redstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a 2017 Fall Drill Program is planned

to commence shortly at its 100% controlled high-grade Unga Gold Project. Technical teams are

on site, and drilling is expected to begin within 7 days. The 2017 Fall drilling program is planned

to total up to 3,750m, which would bring the full year to a total of approximately 6,000m drilled

at the Unga Gold Project.

The Fall Drill Program will target the expansion of the main Shumagin Gold Zone at depth and

along strike to the northeast towards and at depth below the Bunker Hill Gold Zone.

Additionally, the Company is finalizing an internal review of additional priority drill targets

located within the 240-km2 land package on Unga Island in order to further understand the

district wide potential. This review may result in Redstar initiating its first drill program on the

Apollo-Sitka Trend, as an add-on to the Shumagin Gold Zone drill program. The Apollo-Sitka

Trend is parallel to the Shumagin Trend, 3 km to the south and also extends for approximately 9

km across Unga Island, and is host to two historic mines. Of the numerous identified drill targets

on Apollo-Sitka trend, the drill target being considered for inclusion in this program is known as

the Rising Sun Gold Zone. Rising Sun is located 500m to the east-southeast of the former Apollo

Mine.

Redstar’s President & CEO, Peter A. Ball, stated, "With two drill rigs currently at site, and

the camp in final stages of completion, our technical team has arrived back on site at the Unga

Gold Project to initiate the Fall drill program. Drilling within t he Shumagin Gold Zone has

previously intersected multiple high grade gold intersections and w ith a strong treasury, the

Shumagin Gold Zone is our priority heading into the 2017 Fall Exploration Program. In

addition, we are finalizing our geological modeling of additional gold zones, such as the Rising

Sun Gold Zone in the southern Apollo -Sitka Gold Trend, where we are planning to potentially

2

execute a drill program on this exciting southern gold trend, which has not been drill tested in

over 20 years.”

Geological Highlights of the Shumagin Gold Zone and Trend

• The Shumagin Trend is approximately 9.5 km. long, and is a major regional structure

responsible for the localization of epithermal mineralization and associated alteration

exposed about its strike length.

• Drill results at the Shumagin Gold Zone indicate that high-grade gold-silver mineralization

occurs at depth for approximately 950m of tested strike length, and is vertically extensive (to

approximately 330m at depth).

About the Unga Gold Project

The 100% co ntrolled Unga Gold Project is a low to intermediate-sulfidation epithermal district

located along the Alaskan Peninsula on adjacent Unga and Popof Islands, approximately 950 km

southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The 240 -km2 property contains numerous volcanic -hosted,

structurally controlled and disseminated gold-silver mineral occurrences localized along at least

3

two (2) regional structures (Shumagin Trend and Apollo -Sitka trends), each measuring

approximately 9.5 km long. High -grade gold zones drilled or identified at surface occur within

dilation zones along the regional and/or subsidiary structures and are the main exploration target-

type for the project. The Shumagin Gold Zone is only one of several noteworthy gold -silver

structures found on Redstar’s Unga Gold Project and is a high -priority ex ploration target. The

former Apollo-Sitka gold mine, located on the southern Apollo -Sitka Trend, was Alaska’s first

underground gold mine and the site of historic high -grade (~10 g/t Au) gold production. The

Unga Gold Project has extensive infrastructure w ith daily flights from Anchorage landing on a

one mile long paved airstrip and a deep -water port on neighboring Popof Island, and a moderate

climate noting it resides at the 55th degree latitude and next to tidewater.
