RPX Red Pine Exploration Inc

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RPX) announces the
results from its recently completed backpack drill program which supplemented
the IP survey and bedrock sampling program over its Cayenne-Chili Property. 


New Volcanogenic-Massive- Sulphide "(VMS") Occurrences Discovered

The Cayenne-Chili system is comprised of a series of north-facing mineralized
VMS centres along a well-defined stratigraphic horizon having a strike length of
approximately 11 kilometres. The district is comprised of a footwall unit of
dacite and rhyolite (Strata Fm), capped by a chert exhalite-iron formation-shale
unit (Woman River Fm), which in turn is overlain by mafic volcanic strata
(October Lake Fm). The strata have undergone two major folding events; the first
(FI) formed an isoclinal, north facing set of folds, resulting in repetition of
the mineralized strata, whereas the second (FII) forms a broad east-verging
antiform, clearly marked by the distribution of the Woman River strata. 


Earlier exploration focused on only one of these centres, - the Jefferson
Deposit(1), - and the Company has identified other VMS occurrences (e.g. the
Vencan Zinc Showing) along the exhalite horizon. Mechanized trenching conducted
in July, 2013 exposed approximately 20 meters of massive sulphides consisting of
sphalerite (zinc), galena (lead), and veins of chalcopyrite (copper) immediately
west of the historic Vencan Zinc showing. 


Back Pack Drill Results

The purpose of the backpack drill program was to test areas with:



--  no outcrop exposure and favourable geophysical targets, and 
--  to obtain structural information in areas of known mineralization.



The above mentioned trench of exposed massive sulphides located west of the
historic Vencan zinc showing was drill tested with Hole BC13-04 emplaced to the
south and Hole BC13-05 emplaced to the north. Observations of the core indicate
that the mineralized horizons are dipping steeply to the north rather than to
the south as previously interpreted. Appreciable copper mineralization was
encountered with holes drilled perpendicular to the bedding that had not been
intersected during previous drill programs. Due to depth limitations of the
back-pack drill unit, drill core was terminated in mineralization.


Composite results over the length of three back pack drill holes are as shown:

Geochemical Interpretation by James Franklin, Ph.D, FRSC, P.Geo.

In addition to new data from the short drill holes, all of the historic data, as
well as the results from a fall surface sampling program (482 samples analyzed
by aqua regia-ICP, including 37 samples analyzed by fusion-XRF) have been
compiled. Recently, an additional 247 surface samples were collected from the
western and northern extents of the property, and analyzed using a
well-calibrated field-portable XRF unit. A subset of these samples is currently
being analyzed by conventional methods. Anomalous base metal contents (Zngreater
than 500ppm, up to 24.7%, Pbgreater than 100ppm, up to 15%; Cu greater than
500ppm, up to 24.7%), each accompanied by distinct Na depleted footwall zones,
and most with Mn-enriched footwall and exhalite, are present in at least twelve
discrete areas (ten with base metals), distributed at regular intervals over a
strike length of about 11.3 kilometres.


All of the geochemically anomalous zones are associated with the contact between
the Woman River exhalite assemble and the underlying felsic volcanic strata of
the Strata Formation. The distribution of base and precious metals, along with
key lithotype ratios and alteration indicators were examined. The copper-rich
zones are distinct stringer-type material and extend vertically below the
zinc-lead mineralization. The anomalous zinc and lead zones appear stratiform.
In each of 10 mineralized areas, they extend from between 50 to 200 metres along
strike. Preliminary thickness estimates (backpack drill-holes and historic
drilling, plus trenches) are 5-2 0metres minimum. The mineralized horizon is
repeated by isoclinal folding. The more northern of the two horizons has not
been tested by drilling, and has abundant anomalous zinc samples. These are
particularly prominent above the Vencan occurrence. 


Alteration is comprised primarily of Na depletion, Mn - carbonate and K
enrichment zones, and some silicification. The base metal content is Zn-Pb rich;
the lead contents are higher than typical "Noranda-style" deposits, and along
with the alteration assemblage, are typical of several other VMS-hosting strata
of similar age in Superior Province, including the Sturgeon Lake camp. 


Geophysical Interpretation

The Company has conducted a comprehensive analysis which included the
compilation, review and interpretation for a suite of geophysical data collected
over the property. These data include:




--  Airborne Electromagnetics (EM) 
--  Ground Gravity (Density) 
--  Ground Magnetics 
--  Induced Polarization (IP) 
--  MaxMin - Ground EM 
--  Airborne Magnetics



The results of this analysis conclude that there is a distinct coincidental
density, IP, and EM anomaly associated with the "Jefferson Deposit" - however it
is limited in size and the historical drilling appears to have been down dip. It
is important to note that additional geophysical anomalies with the same
characteristics exist in the area of the historical drilling both to the west
and the east (fold nose zone) and these targets are of much greater size.


At the Vencan Zinc showing, a modest geophysical anomaly consisting of IP,
density, EM and magnetic anomalies is associated with this recently prospected
near-surface occurrence. There is an exceptionally large and deeper geophysical
anomaly immediately to the north and down dip from the zone with a strike length
in the 100's of metres. 


Drill Program Planned in 2013

Quentin Yarie, president and COO commented: "These exploration results confirm
that mineralization is associated with North dipping structures within the
banded iron system. To-date, a total of over 8 new targets of varying dimensions
have been identified, most of which have not been tested with a drill hole." 


"The results of our comprehensive analysis certainly justify conducting a drill
program to quantify the mineralization associated with these new targets as well
as the historical mineralization due to the fundamental change in the
interpretation of the dip of the mineralized horizons."


The Company is currently considering several financing options to fund the
planned exploration activities and consequently does not anticipate the need for
a share roll back as presented and approved at the last annual general meeting
of the Company's shareholders.

On-site Quality Assurance/Quality Control Measures

All back pack core samples were labeled, placed in plastic sample bags and
sealed. Groups of samples were then placed into durable rice bags for shipment
to ACTLABS for chemical analyses. The remaining coarse reject portions of the
samples remain in storage at an ACTLABS preparation laboratory storage facility
as required in the event that further work is needed.
