Red Pine Exploration Inc. ("Red Pine" or "the Company") announces that it has staked an additional 137 hectares within the boundary of its Wawa Gold Project, bringing its total land package to 5,510 hectares (Figure 1). The Company has also completed its previously announced 6,000 metres drill program with the available results leading to the start of a larger 10,000 metres drill project.
Quentin Yarie, President and CEO of Red Pine, stated, "We are pleased to have secured this new area, within the limits of our Wawa Gold Project, that wasn't available previously. By securing these new claims, the Company is consolidating its land package and ensuring that it maximizes its holdings of prospective ground."
The new 10,000 metres drill program will continue to focus on advancing the Surluga Deposit and exploring targets within the Wawa Gold Corridor. A second drill will be mobilized after spring breakup.
