RED PINE EXPLORATION INC. (TSX VENTURE:RPX) (the "Corporation" or "Red Pine")

It has come to the attention of the Corporation that the amount of insider participation was incorrectly disclosed in the press release announcing the closing of its short form prospectus offering on May 1, 2014 (the "Offering"), pursuant to which Red Pine sold 14,330,000 units (the "Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per Unit, and 41,519,000 flow-through units (the "FT Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.055 per Flow-Through Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,045.

The May 1, 2014 press release correctly disclosed that participation by insiders (which included employees and consultants) in the Offering represented approximately 5% of the Offering. However, the numbers of securities purchased were incorrectly stated as 8,200,000 Units and 8,200,000 FT Units; the actual number of securities purchased by such insiders pursuant to the Offering was 1,440,000 Units and 1,440,000 FT Units.
