Initial Drilling to Assess Potential for Open Pit Production Intersects High-Grade Gold in the Jubilee Shear
Initial near-surface drilling intersects wide zone of alteration containing 14.51 g/t Au over 4.81 m including 90.40 g/t Au over 0.67 m
TORONTO, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX, OTCQB: RDEXF) ('Red Pine' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce initial results of its near-surface drilling program focused on evaluating the potential of an open pit operation in two areas of the Jubilee Shear (See press release announced May 8, 2025). This drilling is a portion of the ongoing, fully funded 25,000 metres ("m") drill program at the Wawa Gold Project, Ontario.
Highlights
Near-surface intersection of 14.51 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.81 m, including 90.40 g/t Au over 0.67 m, at the edge of the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate1 (the '2024 MRE') within an area for consideration for a potential open-pit operation;
More than 14 drill holes are ongoing in the shallow part of the Jubilee Shear with results pending;
Several high-grade gold intersections > 5.00 g/t Au at depth in the Jubilee Shear located hundreds of meters away from the 2024 MRE, are indicative of the potential for future growth to the mineral resource.
Drilling at depth continues to identify key geological vectors towards potential zones of strong gold mineralization in the Jubilee Shear:
Includes the identification of a new gabbro dyke interpreted to represent a key geological control on the Jubilee Shear at depths similar to the gabbro dykes controlling the distribution of gold mineralization near surface; and
Outlines new exploration targets at depths in the Jubilee Shear in the Cooper Mine area.
The focus of the drilling is to build out the near surface resource to complete an updated MRE and a Preliminary Economic Assessment by H1 2026.
Michael Michaud, President and CEO of Red Pine commented: 'We are excited that our initial near-surface drilling has already intersected wide zones of alteration, quartz veining and significant gold grades. This drilling is designed to not only improve our confidence in the gold distribution, but also to expand gold mineralization in this relatively underexplored area. This drilling is the first step in assessing the potential of a near-term open pit operation that would provide an incremental approach to move towards a larger operation to mine the existing open-pit and underground mineral resource base outlined in the 2024 MRE.
We are also pleased with the positive results from deeper drilling as we continue to gain more knowledge on the geology and the potential to intersect gold mineralization in large step-outs from the 2024 MRE. Of importance, we have now intersected a gabbro unit at depth that is known to be a critical control on mineralization as identified closer to surface where we have already defined a large open-pit and underground resource.
The Company intends to update the 2024 MRE with the completion of the drilling program, with the objective to concurrently work towards a preliminary economic assessment ('PEA'), anticipated for completion in H1 2026."
1The MRE is described in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report dated September 30, 2024 (with a mineral resource effective date of August 28, 2024) entitled 'National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Wawa Gold Project' (the '').
Ongoing Drilling Program
Red Pine is currently drilling with 2 rigs and completed approximately 65% of the fully funded 25,000 m exploration program. The ongoing drilling at depth continues to intersect gold mineralization with large step outs designed to expand the mineral resource base. In parallel, near-surface testing of the Jubilee Shear has started in two areas identified as having high potential for open-pits within the near-surface portion of the 2024 MRE.
The near-surface drilling program consists of closely spaced drill holes aiming to increase confidence in the 2024 MRE and extend gold mineralization within the crown pillar of the former Surluga and Jubilee mines where historic drilling was limited. Between 8,000 and 9,000 m of drilling is allocated to evaluate the two areas and is expected to take 3 months to complete.
Near-Surface Drill Testing of the Jubilee Shear for Potential Open-Pit Operation (Tables 1 and 2 and Figures 1 to 3):
In addition to the strong results obtained in SD-25-552, previous drilling supports the potential of the areas considered for potential open-pits (Figure 1). Significant historical results included in the 2024 MRE in each area include:
Northern Area
4.40 g/t Au over 9.61 m, including 38.74 g/t Au over 0.77 m and 28.80 g/t Au over 0.31 m in historical drill hole S073
13.24 g/t Au over 4.69 m, including 18.64 g/t Au over 3.17 m in historical drill hole S063
Jubilee Mine Area
4.42 g/t Au over 18.99 m, including 40.20 g/t Au over 1.00 m in SD-17-172
9.62 g/t Au over 14.93 m, including 12.47 g/t Au over 1.83 m, 24.14 g/t Au over 0.91 m and 81.12 g/t Au over 0.91 m in historical drill hole S240
Jubilee Deep Drilling (Tables 1 and 2 and Figure 2):
Deep drilling in the Jubilee Shear that consists of large step-outs from the 2024 MRE, continues to uncover indications of high-grade gold mineralization at depth and is vectoring towards new zones of high-grade gold mineralization. Additional drill testing of the deeper extension of the Jubilee Shear is planned to continue in parallel with the drill testing of the near-surface extension of the Jubilee Shear.
Key highlights of the deep drilling in the Jubilee Shear include:
Multiple intersections greater than 5.00 g/t Au indicating that mineralization extends beyond the 2024 MRE (including the drilling results announced on February 19 and March 20, 2025):
Additional drilling will be necessary to infill the gaps between the widely spaced drill holes completed to date to find areas of thickening of the high-grade core of the Jubilee Shear.
Identification of a new gabbro dyke at depth west of the Jubilee Shear in relation to the roll discussed in the February 19 and March 20, 2025 press releases:
Wide gabbro intersections in SD-25-536 and SD-540 below the Main Deformation Zone of the Jubilee Shear interpreted to represent a new gabbro dyke
In the shallower parts of the Jubilee Deposit, the main zones of mineralization forming the 2024 MRE are distributed above and below such gabbro dyke
Gabbro dykes are a key geological control on the location of rolls which are areas where the dip of the shear zone changes that can correspond to zones of thickening of mineralization in the shears of the Wawa Gold Project
Mineralogical transition from white-mica dominated to chloritized-biotite alteration haloes around the strongly deformed veins in the Jubilee Shear. In other deposits of the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt, that mineralogical transition is an indicator that the gold system is changing and that this can result in positive changes in the nature of the gold mineralization zones.

*Intercepts are calculated using a 0.40 g/t Au cut-off and a maximum of 6.0 m of internal dilution with no capping applied and are reported over core lengths. True widths are estimated to vary between 70 to 95% of the reported core length in the Jubilee and undefined in the vein networks. The reported assay results represent 4,614.23 m of assayed core from the 2025 drilling program in the extension at depth of the Jubilee Shear and 16.88 m from near-surface drilling in the Northern Area for consideration for Phase 1 open-pits.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Measures
Individual drill core samples are labelled and split in half along a pre-marked cutting line using a diamond saw. A consistent half-core sample is then placed in an individual plastic sample bag that is sealed. The remaining half-core samples are kept at the core storage facility of the Company located on the Wawa Gold project. Quarter-core duplicates are taken from certain samples to define the variability of gold distribution. Groups of samples are then placed into durable rice bags sealed with security seals to be transported using a commercial carrier for analysis to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario. NQ core assays were obtained by 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or by 1-kilogram screen fire assay. The 1-kilogram screen assay method is selected for samples anticipated to contain coarse gold and when the fire-assay-AA finish return results greater or equal to 2.25 g/t Au. The residual coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage for a minimum 90-day period if further work or verification is needed.
As part of its QA/QC program, Red Pine inserts external gold standards (low- to high-grade) and blanks every 20 samples and routinely insert blanks immediately after samples with visible gold. Quarter core duplicates are routinely inserted to evaluate the natural variability of gold mineralization. Assay certificates are sent to at least three members of the senior management team, and they are directly accessible from the WebLIMS portal of Actlabs. Approximately 5% of the pulps and coarse rejects analyzed at Actlabs are sent to Agat Laboratories in Thunder Bay for umpire testing.

Data breach victims: Here's how your personal information is sold to criminals
Every year, massive data breaches harm the public. The targets are email service providers, retailers and government agencies that store information about people. Each breach includes sensitive personal information such as credit and debit card numbers, home addresses, and account usernames and passwords from hundreds of thousands—and sometimes millions—of people. When National Public Data, a company that does online background checks, was breached in 2024, criminals gained the names, addresses, dates of birth, and national identification numbers such as Social Security numbers of 170 million people in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The same year, hackers who targeted Ticketmaster stole the financial information and personal data of more than 560 million customers. As a criminologist who researches cybercrime, I study the ways that hackers and cybercriminals steal and use people's personal information. Understanding the people involved helps us to better recognize the ways that hacking and data breaches are intertwined. In so-called stolen data markets, hackers sell personal information they illegally obtain to others, who then use the data to engage in fraud and theft for profit. The quantity problem Every piece of personal data captured in a data breach —a passport number, Social Security number, or login for a shopping service—has inherent value. Offenders can use the information in different ways. They can assume someone else's identity, make a fraudulent purchase, or steal services such as streaming media or music. The sale of data, also known as carding, references the misuse of stolen credit card numbers or identity details. These illicit data markets began in the mid-1990s through the use of credit card number generators used by hackers. They shared programs that randomly generated credit card numbers and details and then checked to see whether the fake account details matched active cards that could then be used for fraudulent transactions. As more financial services were created and banks allowed customers to access their accounts through the internet, it became easier for hackers and cybercriminals to steal personal information through data breaches and phishing. Phishing involves sending convincing emails or SMS text messages to people to trick them into giving up sensitive information such as logins and passwords, often by clicking a false link that seems legitimate. One of the first phishing schemes targeted America Online users to get their account information to use their internet service at no charge. Selling stolen data online The large amount of information criminals were able to steal from such schemes led to more vendors offering stolen data to others through different online platforms. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, offenders used Internet Relay Chat, or IRC channels, to sell data. IRC was effectively like modern instant messaging systems, letting people communicate in real time through specialized software. Criminals used these channels to sell data and hacking services in an efficient place. In the early 2000s, vendors transitioned to web forums where individuals advertised their services to other users. Forums quickly gained popularity and became successful businesses with vendors selling stolen credit cards, malware, and related goods and services to misuse personal information and enable fraud. One of the more prominent forums from this time was ShadowCrew, which formed in 2002 and operated until being taken down by a joint law enforcement operation in 2004. Their members trafficked more than 1.7 million credit cards in less than three years. Forums continue to be popular, though vendors transitioned to running their own web-based shops on the open internet and dark web, which is an encrypted portion of the web that can be accessed only through specialized browsers like TOR, starting in the early 2010s. These shops have their own web addresses and distinct branding to attract customers, and they work in the same way as other e-commerce stores. More recently, vendors of stolen data have also begun to operate on messaging platforms such as Telegram and Signal to quickly connect with customers. Cybercriminals and customers Many of the people who supply and operate the markets appear to be cybercriminals from Eastern Europe and Russia who steal data and then sell it to others. Markets have also been observed in Vietnam and other parts of the world, though they do not get the same visibility in the global cybersecurity landscape. The customers of stolen data markets may reside anywhere in the world, and their demands for specific data or services may drive data breaches and cybercrime to provide the supply. The goods Stolen data is usually available in individual lots, such as a person's credit or debit card and all the information associated with the account. These pieces are individually priced, with costs differing depending on the type of card, the victim's location and the amount of data available related to the affected account. Vendors frequently offer discounts and promotions to buyers to attract customers and keep them loyal. This is often done with credit or debit cards that are about to expire. Some vendors also offer distinct products such as credit reports, Social Security numbers and login details for different paid services. The price for pieces of information varies. A recent analysis found credit card data sold for $50 on average, while Walmart logins sold for $9. However, the pricing can vary widely across vendors and markets. Illicit payments Vendors typically accept payment through cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin that are difficult for law enforcement to trace. Once payment is received, the vendor releases the data to the customer. Customers take on a great deal of the risk in this market because they cannot go to the police or a market regulator to complain about a fraudulent sale. Vendors may send customers dead accounts that are unable to be used or give no data at all. Such scams are common in a market where buyers can depend only on signals of vendor trust to increase the odds that the data they purchase will be delivered, and if it is, that it pays off. If the data they buy is functional, they can use it to make fraudulent purchases or financial transactions for profit. The rate of return can be exceptional. An offender who buys 100 cards for $500 can recoup costs if only 20 of those cards are active and can be used to make an average purchase of $30. The result is that data breaches are likely to continue as long as there is demand for illicit, profitable data.

Platinum Chases Gold Hitting A Four Year High Of $1218/oz
Platinum has returned as a precious metals star, delivery fat profits as investors rotate funds out of gold, the sector leader. Platinum's sister metal palladium is also rising strongly. Both platinum and palladium seem likely to continue outperforming as a decade of oversupply gives way to signs of a shortage developing. A miner handles a piece of raw platinum ore in South Africa. Photographer: Waldo Swiegers/Bloomberg Over the past month the platinum price has risen by 24% to a four-year high of $1218 an ounce, while palladium is up 13% at $1077/oz. Gold, on the other hand, has risen by 1.5% to $3205/oz, though that modest move needs to be seen against a background of three spectacular years of soaring demand and an 83% increase from a price around $1810/oz in June 2022. The platinum rebound has been a long time coming though some investors might remember that it wasn't that long ago when the platinum price was comfortably higher than gold. In mid-2008 an ounce of platinum cost $2068, more than double gold which was selling for $903/oz. Demand for platinum and palladium has traditionally been driven by a combination of jewelry and industrial uses, especially for in the catalytic converters of internal combustion engines where they play a role in minimising the emission of environmentally damaging nitrous oxide. But in 2015 the platinum market crashed after it was revealed that the big German car maker Volkswagen had been falsifying exhaust system measurement sparking a scandal dubbed Dieselgate. Within months the platinum price had crashed to just $804/oz. Palladium, which is the preferred metal in the exhausts of gasoline powered vehicles, also fell but not as steeply. Further weighing on the prices of platinum and palladium has been the rise in sales of electric vehicles, which do not require a catalytic converter – though hybrid electric cars do, and in some case their converters require a heavier coating of platinum or palladium. A General Motors catalytic converters. (Photo by Reuter Raymond/Sygma via Getty Images) But the major factor in this year's platinum revival is as simple as the run-down of stockpiles which date back to the Dieselgate days meaning that newly mined supply is struggling to keep up with demand. Mines in South Africa, the major source of platinum, have cut back during the years of low prices, as have the palladium mines of Russia which are the primary source of that metal. A measure of the changing fundamentals of the platinum market came last month in a report from the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) which forecast a supply deficit this year of 966,000oz, the third consecutive deficit year. More importantly, the latest deficit could put pressure on the platinum price because the WPIC is forecasting that the stockpile will shrink to 2.16 million ounces, enough to meet just three months of demand. The sudden shift in the platinum market, which has really been 10-years in the making, has sparked a sharp increase in the prices of platinum miners with the biggest beneficiary being Valterra Platinum, the renamed Anglo American Platinum. Since listing earlier this month on the London Stock Exchange Valterra shares have followed the platinum price, up 24%. Smaller platinum stocks have done better. Zimplats, a Zimbabwe-focused miner controlled by South Africa's Impala Platinum has risen by 60% over the past month while Australian-listed Southern Palladium, which is planning to develop a new platinum mine in South Africa is up 120%.
