Red Pine Confirms Independent Sampling and Assaying Validating Corrected Assay Database for Updated Resource Estimation - Seite 2

The verification samples were transported in sealed rice bags by WSP from the Wawa Gold Project to ALS Canada Ltd. in Sudbury. Sample preparation was done at ALS Sudbury and gold analyses were done at ALS Vancouver. Quartered HQ and NQ drill cores were crushed, and 250 gram (“g”) fractions were pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Historical drill cores, because of the larger sample volume, were crushed and then a 1000 g fraction was pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Gold was analyzed for most of the verification samples by 50-g fire assaying with a gravimetric finish, with some larger, higher-grade samples analyzed by 1-kilogram (“kg”) screen metallic assay methods. Metallic screening considered 1 kg pulp screened to 100 microns, duplicate 50-g fire assay on screen undersize and complete assaying of the oversize fraction. Blanks and certified reference materials were included in the analyses of the verification samples.

Although there exists higher variability on an individual sample comparison as is typical of most gold deposits, the sampling completed by WSP on the Company’s drill holes, and the historical drilling which occurred prior to Red Pine acquiring the property, are in good agreement with the assay values in Red Pine's corrected assay database. Based on the combined historical and Red Pine verified samples, the assay results from the verification sampling are on average within 13% of the original assay value.

The complete results of the verification sampling are presented at Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. The full reporting of the verification assays will be included in the Company’s updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report.
