RED PINE INTERSECTS HIGH-GRADE GOLD 400M DOWN PLUNGE OF THE SURLUGA DEPOSIT (>550M VERTICAL DEPTH); DISCOVERS NEAR SURFACE HIGH-GRADE GOLD ZONE
Red Pine Exploration Inc. has released new results from its 2021 drilling program at the Wawa gold project. It has also discovered high-grade gold mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone and the newly identified Sadowski gold zone.
Highlights of the 2021 drilling program
- Intersection of 4.66 grams per tonne gold over 12.24 metres of true width (TW) in the Jubilee shear zone, including 24.1 g/t gold over 0.68 metre (TW) and 14.68 g/t gold over 1.94 metres (TW), 440 metres down plunge of the boundary of the Surluga resource (SD-21-297A);
- Discovery of high-grade gold mineralization in SD-21-297A in the newly identified Sadowski gold zone with the intersection of 13.95 g/t gold over 4.48 m core length (CL) including 29.29 g/t gold over 2.02 metres (CL);
- Observation of quartz veins with visible gold in the Jubilee shear zone, the Minto mine shear zone and the Sadowski gold zone in SD-21-298A (results pending).
"The confirmation of gold mineralization in the Jubilee shear zone, indicated across two drill holes (75 metres apart) located 400 metres down plunge of the existing Surluga resource, further validates the company's belief that the Jubilee shear zone extends to depth and hosts high-grade gold mineralization. The discovery of a previously unknown network of quartz veins intersected in SD-21-296A and SD-21-297A adds credibility that the property continues to benefit from greenfield exploration.
"Red Pine now has two active drill rigs on site, concurrently drilling beneath the Surluga deposit to the north and south. The company plans to test the property's greenfield targets, however, promising future drill results in the Jubilee shear zone may delay those activities," said Quentin Yarie, president and chief executive officer.
Diamond drilling
As part of its continuing 2021 exploration drilling program, Red Pine is currently testing the northern and southern extensions of the Surluga deposit with one drill rig active at each target.
In holes SD-21-296A and SD-21-297A, the Jubilee shear zone was successfully intersected approximately 400 metres away from the current boundary of the Surluga deposit resource. In holes SD-21-296A and SD-21-297A, the assay results indicate that high-grade gold mineralization also extends in the structure 400 metres down plunge to the current resource boundary. In hole SD-21-297A, the higher-grade core of the structure is made from the overlapping of multiple styles of mineralization that are variably transposed in the Jubilee shear zone tectonic fabrics.
In addition, the assay results from holes SD-21-296A and SD-21-297A identified a new near-surface high-grade zone of mineralization named the Sadowski gold zone. The Sadowski gold zone is formed by a network of quartz veins variably transposed in superimposed shearing. The geometry of the quartz vein network identified in the Sadowski gold zone is comparable with the geometry of the network of high-grade quartz veins forming the Mickelson-Sunrise vein system. The trend of the Michelson-Sunrise vein is located 150 metres north of the Sadowski gold zone. The identification of two parallel networks of quartz veins hosting high-grade gold mineralization suggests that additional drilling to the south could potentially discover additional networks of quartz veins.
Holes SD-21-297A and confirmed the extension of the Minto vein in the Minto mine shear zone 75 metres downdip to the current boundary of the Minto mine south deposit. Visible gold and native bismuth were observed in the Minto vein in SD-21-298A. In SD-21-297A, the Minto vein did not contain significant gold.

On-site quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures
Drill core samples were transported in security sealed bags for analyses at Actlabs in Ancaster, Ont. Individual samples were labelled and placed in plastic sample bags, which were then sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags and then shipped. The residual 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.
