Red Pine Exploration Completes Field Program on Cayenne-Chili

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 7, 2013) - Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPX) has recently completed an IP survey and second phase bedrock sampling program over its Cayenne-Chili Property. The Cayenne-Chili Property consists of 24 contiguous mining claims and patents totalling 3900 hectares. The claims sit in a region interpreted as the western extension of both the Larder-Cadillac deformation zone and the second a western extension from the Porcupine-Destor deformation zone to the north.

New VMS Occurrences Discovered

The initial prospecting, mapping and channel sampling program completed in July, 2013 across the property returned numerous, significant polymetallic assay values that are characteristic of a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralized system. The program identified an extensive alteration system with sodium depletion and chlorite enrichment, a geochemical assemblage characteristic of a VMS system. The second round of bedrock sampling was designed to augment the newly discovered anomalous zones.

Individual bedrock samples from the new Zones of interest include:

ID	Zone	Cu_ppm	Zn_ppm	Ag_ppm	Pb_ppm
CA0001	New Zone A	11800	205	3.18	3.86
CA0002	New Zone A	1220	26.3	0.469	5.38
CA0159	New Zone B	1330	6390	2.21	83.1
CA0450	New Zone C	10700	247000	19	156000
CA0607	New Zone C	103	4150	0.843	1950
CA1006	New Zone D	1150	2920	1.54	25.5

'New Zone C' reported highly anomalous values of 24.7% zinc, 15.6% lead and 1.1% copper. These values are similar to those reported on the historical exploration on the nearby 'Jefferson Deposit'(1), with the exception of the highly anomalous copper (Cu) values. The historical (1950's) results intersected 4.43% Zn and 1.25% Pb over 22.9m and 9.1% Zn and 11.5% Pb over 6.9m, but no appreciable copper. In the 1980's work by Falconbridge encountered 2.7% Zn over 9.12m and 1.6% Zn over 13.83m, with another hole reporting 1.7% Zn over 17.2m. The newly identified copper mineralization leads Company geoscientists to believe that a 'heat vector' towards the source of the mineralization can now be established.

Quentin Yarie, president and COO commented: "It is promising to find high grade mineralization beyond the historic showings which complements the current geophysical interpretation. The alteration and VMS mineralization observed at surface is much more extensive than we had believed based on our review of the previous exploration programs. We also have a high priority geophysical target immediately north of the sodium (Na) depleted footwall materials - a setting similar to Sturgeon Lake."

During the initial exploration program in July, 2013 channel samples were conducted in the areas of the 'Jefferson Deposit'¹ as well the previously identified Vencan Zinc showing. Composite results of these channel samples are presented below:

Channel		Length (m)		Zone		Mineralization (cutoff > 0.5%)
VenCanZinc1		2		Vencan Zinc Showing		12.35 G/t Silver
VenCanZinc2		1		Vencan Zinc Showing		0.577 % Zinc
VenCanZinc3		2		Vencan Zinc Showing		8.75 % Zinc, 14.8 % Lead and 14.10 G/t Silver, including 1 meter of 0.599 % Copper
VenCanZinc4		1		Vencan Zinc Showing		5.75 % Zinc
VenCanZinc5		2		Vencan Zinc Showing		3.58 % Zinc and 0.844 % Lead
VenCanZinc6		1		Vencan Zinc Showing		2.97 % Zinc and 0.63 % Lead
VenCanZinc7		2		Vencan Zinc Showing		11.25 % Zn, including 1 meter of 1.05 % Lead and 8.76 G/t Silver
Jefferson		3		Jefferson Showing		10.3 % Zinc and 0.75 % Lead

Individual bedrock samples from the Jefferson also included:

ID	Zone	Cu_ppm	Zn_ppm	Ag_ppm	Pb_ppm
CA1292	Jefferson Zone	202	15000	3.35	1000
JM003	Jefferson Zone	728	38800	34.6	262000

Geophysical Survey Completed

During September, Red Pine contracted ClearView Geophysics of Brampton, ON to complete an IP survey to compliment an IP survey completed in 2006 (also conducted by ClearView Geophysics). Results of this program are pending. The pending data will be interpreted in conjunction with the extensive geophysical data set, geochemistry, geological and structural analysis to develop targets for a planned drilling program later this year.
