Red Pine Drills 13.3 m of 3.38 g/t Gold Including 1.64 m of 15.31 g/t Gold at Wawa Gold Project, 250 m below the Current Surluga Mineral Resource

 

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: RPX) ("Red Pine" or the "Company") announces the last assay results from its completed Summer 2020 drilling program of 5,300 metres at the Wawa Gold Project, located 2 kilometres southeast of Wawa, Ontario.

 

  Highlights   (Figure 1)  

 
  • Holes SD-20-291, 292 and 293 successfully extended, at depth, the zone of higher-grade gold intersected in hole SD-20-289 earlier this year ( see May 12, 2020 News Release )
  •  
  • A new zone of higher-grade mineralization was intersected in hole SD-20-293, the deepest hole to date completed by Red Pine
  •  
  • The gold mineralized zone was extended by more than 300 metres down-dip from, or 250 metres, below the current Surluga Deposit resource boundary ( 205,000oz   Au   @ 5.31 g/t in the indicated category and 396,000oz   Au   @ 5.22 g/t in the inferred category   1   )
  •  
  • Gold mineralization remains open at depth in all directions

  Drilling Intersection   Highlights  

 
  •   3.38 g/t gold over 13.3 m true width ("TW"), including 15.31 g/t gold over 1.64 m (SD-20-293) – New zone of higher   -   grade mineralization  
  •  
  •   1.63 g/t gold over 23.34 m TW, including 17.32 g/t gold over 0.88 m and 14.72 g/t gold over 0.85 m (SD-20-292)
  •  
  •   2.06 g/t gold   over   11.8   m TW, including 3.67 g/t over 1.03 m and 7.45 g/t gold over 0.84 m (SD-20-291)
  •  

Quentin Yarie, Chief Executive Officer of Red Pine stated, "   The successful r   esults from o   ur   Summer   2020   drilling program   have extended   the Surl   u   ga   D   eposit by approxima   tely 300 metres down   -   dip   to a total depth of approximately 600 metres   and discovered what could be a new higher-grade zone in the   shear   structure   .   We are confident that   ,   w   ith additional drilling, the   mineralized   zone   s   identified   beneath   the Surluga Deposit   could potentially increase the   current   mineral   resource. T   he visual indicators   and the   higher   -   grade gold   assays   (   >   3 g/t)   intersect   ed   in SD-20-293   suggest   that the intensity of   alteration   and quartz veining   associated with gold mineralization   increases   with depth   . This   defi   nes   a   new   promising exploration   target   for Red Pine as we continue to   expand the Surluga Deposit   .   "

  Detailed Description  
The Surluga Deposit sits within the Jubilee Shear Zone ("JSZ"). Gold mineralization in the deeper extension of shear contains moderate-strong to strong quartz veining and silica flooding. The quartz veins contain disseminated pyrite with local pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. Some of the quartz veins also contains fine specks of visible gold in association with pyrite and accessory arsenopyrite.

 

Hole SD-20-290 intersected the outer edges of potential zones of stronger mineralization in the JSZ. A 2.75 metre-wide domain with stronger quartz veining, white mica alteration and quartz veining is present.

 

Hole SD-20-291 suggests the lateral extension of the higher-grade JSZ identified in hole SD-20-289 (Figure 2). Here, the core of the JSZ grades 2.06 g/t over 11.89 m (TW). The sample containing 7.45 g/t gold was diluted over approximately 50% of its length by a crosscutting diabase dyke and a 23.45 metre-wide halo of low-grade gold mineralization, characterized by spaced quartz veins, disseminated pyrite, and weak-moderate biotite/sericite alteration, is located above the higher-grade zone.

 

Hole SD-20-292 intersected the JSZ, 55 metres up-plunge from the intersection in SD-20-291. The JSZ in hole SD-20-292 is characterized by moderate white mica alteration with spaced quartz veining with a localized 1metre-wide quartz vein located in the upper part of the structure. The bottom 15 metres of the JSZ is truncated by a younger diabase dyke.

 

Hole SD-20-293, drilled 45 metres down-dip of SD-20-291 and Red Pine's deepest hole to date, intersected the JSZ between 553.44 to 568.91 metres. The quartz veining and silica flooding here is stronger than in holes SD-20-289 and SD-20-291. Disseminated pyrite with localized pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena are observed. One of the quartz veins also contains three (3) fine specks of visible gold in association with pyrite and accessory arsenopyrite. The core of the JSZ grades 3.38 g/t gold over 13.3 m (TW). The zone remains open in every direction and visual indicators suggest that the gold content increases with depth. This newly identified higher grade zone in the JSZ will be a priority target when diamond drilling resumes on the property.

  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.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
