Red Pine Exploration Initiates Metallurgical Testing at its Wawa Gold Project

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV:RPX) (“Red Pine” or “the Company”) announces that it has contracted SGS Minerals Services (“SGS”) to conduct metallurgical testing on a 100 kg composite sample from the Wawa Gold Project to evaluate the recovery of gold and silver using standard ore processing methods.
As quoted in the press release:

Quentin Yarie, President and CEO of Red Pine, stated, “Our team is focused on expanding the existing inferred gold resource at the Wawa Gold Project and identifying new gold mineralization on the property through resampling and drilling. The metallurgical test work is a new milestone for us and is part of our comprehensive approach to maximize the project’s long-term economic viability. Optimizing processing methods to maximize gold and silver recoveries will be instrumental in the eventual completion of an economic assessment of the project.”
The SGS study will help determine the most efficient ore processing methods for the Wawa Gold Project. Standard ore processing test work will include gravity separation, flotation, and cyanide leaching. Each process will be optimized to maximize gold and silver recoveries from the 100 kg composite sample. The metallurgical testing is expected to take 8 to 10 weeks to complete.
