With the current drilling, the Minto Mine South Zone is now defined over an area of 350m x 300m.<\/p>\n<p>SD-17-92 tested the Minto Mine South Zone down-dip of the former Minto Mine. SD-17-92 hit the intersection of the Minto Mine Structure and a new gold-bearing structure which was previously unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Results for 12 boreholes in the Minto Mine South Zone are still pending. The zone remains open at depth and along strike (&gt;1km) to the south. Ten (10) additional drill holes are currently planned to further define its strike length and depth. These will also aid in further defining the Minto E Zone which has produced several intersections with visible gold to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wawa Gold Project <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Wawa Gold property package consists of over 5,500 hectares and hosts several former mines with a combined historic production of 120,000oz gold<sup>1<\/sup>. To date, the largest gold deposit on the property is the Surluga Deposit, which hosts a NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 1,088,000 oz gold at an average grade of 1.71 g\/t (using a 0.5 g\/t cut-off) contained within 19.82 million tonnes<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Exploration work by Red Pine during the past 18 months has involved the ongoing sampling of 42,000 metres of historic core that was never sampled by previous operators of the project (initiated in February 2016) and the completion in March 2017 of a 6,000-metre drill program (initiated in November 2016). This drill program was immediately followed by a new 20,000-metre drill program as announced on May 17, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Red Pine has discovered many new zones of gold mineralization (Darwin-Grace, Minto Mine South Zone, Surluga North, Hornblende-William) that are anticipated to have a positive impact on the property&#8217;s gold inventory. All the mineralized zones are interpreted to form a coherent structural system hosted and spatially connected by the Wawa Gold Corridor.<\/p>\n<p>The Company is well positioned to fund its share of the Wawa Gold Project exploration program following the completion of a brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $6,540,240 on February 24, 2017. As such, the sampling and drill programs are expected to continue throughout 2017 and will be followed by an update to the NI 43-101 resource estimate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5565\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5565\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5565\" src=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM-600x344.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM-600x344.png 600w, https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM-768x440.png 768w, https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-8.08.22-AM.png 822w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 2.
