The high-grade intersection in SD-16-45 occurs down-dip from the quartz vein networks intercepted in SD-16-44 that ran 1.61 g\/t gold over 26.25 metres (<em>Figure 1 to right<\/em>). Information obtained from SD-16-45 will assist in targeting higher grade intersections north of the current resource.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Hole SD-16-45 intersected a\u00a0fold\u00a0closure zone within the Jubilee Shear Zone. Fold closures represent zones of dilation which act to channel ore forming fluids. As a result, they are often associated with zones of maximum grade\/thickness in many gold deposits around the world. Another fold closure zone was intersected previously by Red Pine in Hole SD-14-04 that contained 8.03 g\/t gold over 23.03 metres (calculated\u00a0true width).<\/p>\n<p>Drilling further south suggests that the Darwin-Grace mine may be part of a larger deformation zone than previously anticipated. This under-explored area of brittle-ductile deformation is associated with quartz veins containing visible gold<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0which extend over 10-20 meters downhole. Red Pine\u2019s recent logging\/mapping\u00a0initiatives reveal a series of stacked mineralized deformation zones up to 15 meters-long hosted within relatively less deformed zones. These zones may not have been identified by previous operators as the telltale L-tectonite fabric they are associated with are challenging to recognize in\u00a0drill core\u00a0and at surface.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Table\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong>1.
