Overview of Recent Drilling Results
Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX, OTCQB: RDEXF) has disclosed promising drilling results from its ongoing drilling initiative at the Wawa Gold Project. This exploration emphasizes the open pit potential of the site through near-surface drilling completed recently in 2025.
Key Drilling Highlights
The current drilling results have showcased notably high-grade gold intersections, underscoring the potential for successful open pit operations. Some of the most remarkable findings include:
- SD-25-559: 45.38 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over a core length of 3.13 meters, with an impressive 141.00 g/t Au over 0.88 m.
- SD-25-552: Recorded previous intersections include 14.51 g/t over 4.81 m, featuring 90.40 g/t over 0.67 m.
- SD-16-45: Historical data indicates 176.00 g/t Au over 0.78 m, aligning with the new estimates from SD-25-559.
- SD-25-544: Noteworthy near-surface results documented 1.86 g/t Au over 19.09 m, showing substantial potential for gold recovery.
Comments from Leadership
Michael Michaud, President and CEO of Red Pine, expressed enthusiasm regarding these results. He noted that the high-grade gold findings signal promising avenues for the deposit's potential. Furthermore, Michaud emphasized these results enhance confidence in the company's strategy moving forward.
Anticipated Next Steps
The drilling program is projected to conclude testing of starter pits by early July. Following this, Red Pine aims to revise its Mineral Resource Estimate for 2024, aligning efforts towards a preliminary economic assessment expected to be completed in the first half of 2026.
Progress in the Drilling Program
Red Pine Exploration has effectively completed approximately 90% of its funded 25,000-meter drilling program initiated late in 2024. Initial drilling phases targeted areas below the Jubilee Shear to the south and have now transitioned to the Jubilee Mine region, which holds significant promise for starter open pits.
Ongoing drilling efforts have also shown positive outcomes in various sectors of the Jubilee Shear:
- Drilling at the Hornblende Shear presented results of 3.80 g/t Au over 4.04 m, alongside a noteworthy 11.20 g/t Au over 1.00 m.
- In a continued test within the Jubilee Shear, results of 9.54 g/t Au over 1.03 m were reported.
Quality Assurance Protocols
Red Pine maintains rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) standards throughout its drilling operations. Samples are processed through detailed procedures to ensure consistency in results. This includes duplicate quarter-core samples utilized to reflect the variability of gold distribution and external standards checked during sampling processes.
