Red Pine Updates on its 2022 Phase 1 Drill Program
Toronto – January 05, 2022 – Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX -V: RPX , OTCQB:
RDEXF) (“Red Pine” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its Phase
1 exploration drilling program for 2022.
Following the successful exploration program and funding in 2021, the Company plans
to significantly expand its exploration program in to 2022. Highlights of the 2022 Phase
1 exploration program include:
• Expansion of the contractor drill fleet from 2 to 4 on-site operators.
• Approximately 60% of the program will focus on areas which have the potential
to expand the current Surluga and Minto South resources.
• Approximately 40% of the program will focus on our priority greenfield targets
which were not tested in 2021: Grace-Darwin, Hornblende Shear Zone and the
Sadowski Zone.
• The Phase 1 drill program is targeted to be complete by the third quarter 2022
and span up to 25,000 metres of anticipated drilling.
• Phase 1 of Red Pine’s exploration program is fully funded.
"Our 2021 drill program has positively set the table for an expansion of the drilling
program into 2022,” said Quentin Yarie, CEO and President of Red Pine Exploration.
"As always, we take a holistic approach to our exploration programs and results will
dictate and adjust this dynamic program. We also expect that t his program , and the
expected follow-on Phase 2 program, should put the Company in a position to consider
an update of the resource in the future. The current NI 43-101(1) compliant resource
contains 1,307,000 tonnes at 5.47 g/t gold for 230,000 ounces in the indicated category
and 2,716,000 tonnes at 5.39 g/t gold for 471,000 ounces in the inferred category, with
90% contained in the upper 300 metres."
