TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 31, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

RED PINE EXPLORATION INC. (TSX VENTURE:RPX) (the "Corporation" or "Red Pine") Red Pine is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus in each of the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario in order to qualify the proposed distribution of a maximum of 30,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per Unit, and a maximum of 27,272,727 flow-through units (the "Flow-Through Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.055 per Flow-Through Unit (the "Offering") for maximum total gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Closing of the Offering is conditional upon the Corporation receiving minimum gross proceeds of $1,500,000 from the sale of any combination of Units and Flow-Through Units.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation (a "Common Share") and one non flow-through Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one Common Share to be issued on a "flow-through" basis (a "Flow-Through Share") within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and one-half of one Warrant.

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one non flow-through Common Share of the Corporation (the "Unit Warrant Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Unit Warrant Share at any time before the date that is 36 months following the closing date of the Public Offering.

The Offering will be conducted on a "best effort" agency basis led by Secutor Capital Management Corporation (the "Agent").

The issue price of the Units and Flow-Through Units, and the exercise price of the Warrants, were determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the Agent.

The Corporation will grant an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to the Agent, exercisable for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, in whole or in part, to purchase additional Units and Flow-Through Units to a maximum of the lessor of (i) 15% of the number of Units and Flow-Through Units sold pursuant to the Offering; and (ii) the actual over-allocation position of the Agent.

In connection with the Offering, the Corporation will pay the Agent a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and grant compensation options to the Agent entitling it to purchase that number of non flow-through Common Shares of the Corporation equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units and Flow-Through Units sold under the Offering (including the Over-Allotment Option) for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering, at a price of $0.05 per Common Share.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used by Red Pine primarily in connection with advancing the exploration program on its Cayenne mineral property near Timmins, Ontario (the "Cayenne Property"), and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to incur Canadian exploration expenses (CEE) within the meaning of that term in the Tax Act on the Cayenne Property.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 10, 2014, and may close in several tranches, and is subject to customary conditions of closing, including receipt of securities regulatory authority approvals as well as the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
