Metre in the Minto Mine South Zone
TORONTO, Oct. 10, 2018 -- Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: RPX) ("Red Pine" or the "Company") announces results from
nineteen holes at its Wawa Gold Project, 2 kilometres (km) east of Wawa, Ontario. The drill holes were part of Red Pine’s
2017-2018 drill program to test the southern extension of the Minto Mine South Zone.
Drilling highlights (Table 1):
• Discovery of high-grade gold in the southern extension of the Minto Mine South Zone:
◦ 7.15 g/t gold over 5.1 metres, including 33.73 g/t gold over 1 metre in hole SD-18-222;
◦ 3.30 g/t gold over 15 metres including including 9.93 g/t gold over 2.9 metres and 12.52 g/t gold over 1.2 metres
in SD-18-223.
• Discovery of numerous/multiple gold veins in the Minto Stockwork
◦ 14.7 g/t gold over 1 metre in SD-17-145;
◦ 19.4 g/t gold over 1 metre in SD-18-225.
Quentin Yarie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Red Pine stated, "This last round of assay results confirms that high-
grade mineralization persists in the southern extension of the Minto Mine South Zone. The results are expected to have a
positive effect on the forthcoming NI 43-101 resource of the Minto Mine South Zone.”

*Assay results reported over intersection length. In the Minto Mine South Zone, the intersection lengths are estimated to
between 70-95% true widths. In the Minto Stockwork, additional drilling is necessary to estimate the true width of the
intersected zones.

Southern extension of the Minto Mine South Zone
Holes SD-18-222 and SD-18-223 indicate that high-grade mineralization persists in the southern extension of the Minto Mine
South Zone. Hole SD-18-226 indicates that the main Minto vein persists 80 metres down-plunge of SD-18-222. Holes SD-18-
222 and SD-18-225 also intersected multiple gold-bearing veins in the Minto Stockwork, located above and below the Minto
Mine South Zone. Holes SD-18-201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 216, 221, 224 and 227, drilled in the Minto Mine South Zone, did not
contain significant results. Holes SD-18-209, 210, 211 were testing the near-surface extension of the Minto Mine South Zone,
150 metres up-dip of SD-18-223. They were drilled outside the main plunge of the Minto Mine South Zone and did not intersect
significant mineralization. Holes SD-18-214, 215 and 216 were exploration holes testing the extent of the Minto Lower Shear
Zone. The holes successfully intersected the Minto Lower structure, but did not intersect the higher grade zones of the
structure.
Wawa Gold Project Background
Since December 2014, Red Pine's exploration work has involved the sampling of 42,000 metres of historic core that was never
sampled by previous operators of the project and aggressive drilling campaigns. To date, the Company has completed over
55,000 metres of drilling and made five discoveries along the extension of the Surluga Deposit: the Surluga North Zone; the
Hornblende-William Zone; the Minto Mine South Zone, the Minto Lower Zone; and the Grace-Darwin Zone. These are part of
the Wawa Gold Corridor, a gold-mineralization zone that extends for more than 5 km.
Red Pine’s on-going drill program is designed to potentially expand the size of the existing inferred gold resource1 and connect
the other zones of gold mineralization along the newly-discovered Wawa Gold Corridor.
The Company is well positioned to fund its share of the Wawa Gold exploration program. As such, the sampling and drill
programs are expected to continue through 2018.
On-site Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) Measures
Drill core samples were transported in security-sealed bags for analyses to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Ancaster, Ontario.
Individual samples are labeled, placed in plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples are then placed into durable rice
bags and then shipped. The remaining 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.
