REPORTS ON HISTORICAL PROVIDENCE GOLD MINES
IN CALIFORNIA
Vancouver, British Columbia – Further to its news releases of February 23, 2017 and March 15, 2017,
Red Hut Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Red Hu t”) is pleased to report historical information on the
Providence Group of Gold Mines.
The Providence Group of Mines (the “Property”) is located in the Summerville Mining District, Tuolumne
County, California, upon the eastern belt of the “Mother Lode” District. A number of high grade, well
known Motherlode gold mines of California are found within this belt, including the Black Oak Mine, the
Soulsby Mine, the Dead Horse Mine, the New Albany Mine, the Star King Mine and others from which
gold has been mined over the years . These mines are located via good all weather roads , three miles
from the town of Tuolumne, and about 20 miles east of Sonora, California.
The Property being optioned by the Company consists of the Providence Mines, the Consuelo Quartz
Mine, the Goodenough Quartz Mine, the Bonita Quartz Mine and Mill Site , as well as a number of
patented claims. The following historical information is derived from the NI 43 -101 technical report
commissioned by the Company on the Property (the “Report”) and which is currently being reviewed by
the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”):
Historical documentation shows that these mines were for many years profitably worked and were
regarded as one of the best mining camps on the eastern belt of the “Moth er Lode” occurr ences. It is
historically reported that owing to differences between the former owners and their then manager, the
Property was shut down in the midst of active and profitable operations.
At that time, 1916, the lower levels of the mines were allowed to fill with water, and the lower four levels
never reopened according to available records. Thus conditions of the mineralized bodies in these lower
four levels are potentially in the same condition that they were when the operations ceased, at which time
records indicated milling high grade mineralization from the tenth and eleventh levels. At the same time
development work had been completed on the twelfth level into bodies of mineralization.

Mineralization:
The veins of the Providence Mines are in black slates, lying parallel with each other at an angle of about
45 degrees, pitching toward the east. The strike of the vein is from south east to North West. The
formation contains porphyry and limestone, the mineralized material is found in m any places on these
contacts, as often occurs in many mines. The mineralized material is found in lenses at varying distances
along the veins. These lenses or shoots of mineralization have been opened up on various levels of the
mine and a large amount of mineralized material extracted therefrom, although in many places in the
mine these mineralized materials which have been historically reported have been worked in only one
direction.
Development: A double compartment shaft was sunk to a depth of 1470 ft. on the dip of the vein. Twelve
drifts were run north and south of the shaft on twelve different levels , the number 12 level being about
1400 feet from the mouth of the shaft. From different levels, crosscuts were run east or west to develop
and open up parallel mineralization shoots found in parallel veins. Some of these mineralized material
and veins have been stoped out. In others there is said to be potential mineralized material still in place.
A significant amount of underground work has been c ompleted, developing and proving the property to
be one of permanent formation and to contain well defined mined mineralization bodies of value. The
Providence Group of Mines has not only been said to be a producer of mineralization in its historical
past, there still remains potential for similar untapped resources. The Providence Group of Mines has
been historically identified and described as having identical similarities to many of the great mines
within the “Mother Lode” gold district.
Private Placement
As previously reported, in conjunction with the proposed acquisition of the Providence Mines, the
Company is undertaking a private placement of at least $1.2 million in gross proceeds through the
issuance of at least 12 million units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit will be
comprised of one share and one -quarter of one share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) with each whole
Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Red Hut at a price of $0.25 per share for a period
of one year. The Company reports that it has received confirmation from the Exchange, that while they
are reviewing the acquisition of the Providence Mines which is part and parcel with the private
placement, the filing deadline for final materials on the private placement has been extended.
Disclaimer
The italicized text above is all historical in nature. Due to regional forest fires, almost all original data
has been destroyed or lost and, as such, the author of the Report is unable to corroborate any of the se
statements. The author believes that a significant amount of mineralization remains to be recovered
from the mine ; however he is unable to corroborate this belief. The Property requires a systematic
mapping, sampling and drilling program to prove up any of the above statements.
This news release has been reviewed and approved by John Kowalchuk, P.Geo., who is acting as the
Company’s Qualified Person for Providence Mines Project, in accordance with regulations under NI 43 -
101 standards.
