RPX Red Pine Exploration Inc

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSXV: RPX, OTCQB: RDEXF) (“Red Pine” or the “Company”) reports that it has discovered inconsistencies in certain assay results from the Wawa Gold Project which were previously publicly announced by way of press releases and which may also have been disclosed or used in certain other disclosure documents, such as the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Wawa Gold Project dated June 21, 2023. Accordingly, the Company hereby withdraws all its previously announced assay results for the Wawa Gold Project and advises that such results, and the disclosure that such results are based on, should not be relied upon.

The Company is conducting a detailed review and comparison of the assay results from the Wawa Gold Project with the Company’s disclosure documents in order to identify and quantify the extent of any incongruities. The Company is in the process of retaining a qualified independent firm to assist with and to supervise the Company’s review to determine the nature and extent of any inconsistencies in the reported assay results and to subsequently provide an independent view on the overall impact of such inconsistencies in respect of the mineralization of the Wawa Gold Project.

The Company will keep the market updated as further information becomes available.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address circumstances, events, activities or developments that could, or may or will occur constitute forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations (including negative and grammatical variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. ​This news release may contain forward-looking information including, but not limited to, the review the Company is conducting with respect to its previously announced assay results, the results of such review and the Company updating the market as further information becomes available. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking information is not based on historical facts but, instead, reflects management’s expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Such opinions, assumptions and estimates are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements.

Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information are: global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future conditions; general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 outbreak; the actual results of current exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; higher prices for fuel, power, labour and other consumables contributing to higher costs; seasonality and weather; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; project cost overruns; future prices of zinc, lead, vanadium, copper, silver and gold or other metal prices; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents; labour disputes; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; limitations on insurance; and other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited to environmental hazards, equipment breakdown, employee sickness and acts of God or other unfavourable operating conditions and losses; delays caused due to a breakdown in relations with First Nations Bands on whose traditional territory the Wawa Gold Project (as hereinafter defined) is located; and delays in obtaining governmental approvals, project financing or in the completion of exploration activities. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. ​

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
