Red Pine Exploration Provides Updated Assays for Cayenne Property, Drilling to Re-Commence

March 26, 2014 – Toronto, ON – Red Pine Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “Red Pine”) (RPX: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has received updated assay results from its December 2013 drilling program.

Zinc Assay Results Improve

The updated assay results indicates an intersection of 27.47 metres of 9.36% zinc (“Zn”) including 12.71 meters of 16.51% Zn which replaces the previously reported intersection of 27.47 metres of 8.02% Zn including 12.71 metres of 13.64%. The complete updated assay results are reported below in Chart 1.

Red Pine has completed 2 drilling programs on the property to-date. The December 2013 program, completed just prior to Christmas, included 3 drill holes and 10 additional holes were drilled starting in late January. The assay results for the first program were reported in Red Pine’s press release on January 24, 2014.

Red Pine’s Standard Quality Assurance & Quality Control (“QA/QC”) protocols indicated that the lead assay results reported on the first three holes appeared to be understated through the high grade areas. The Company also indentified that discrepancies in assays of certified reference materials had occurred which resulted in drill results being delayed while these issues were being examined. Samples of certified reference materials are both routinely and randomly inserted into the sample work orders to monitor analytical results.

As a result of these discrepancies, the Company immediately halted all further processing of the high-grade massive sulfide material from the remaining 10 holes pending the validation of the analytical and pulverisation methods for high grade material used by the certified assay lab.

Following standard protocol, the Company also sent both pulp and course reject samples to other accredited assay labs for verification of the results. With the confirmation by all 3 accredited labs that all assay results including lead now fall within acceptable tolerances, the Company is fully satisfied that the lead assay and certified reference material issues have been addressed and rectified.

Pending Assay Results of 2014 Exploration Program

The Company has selected ALS Global to complete the assays and expects to receive all results within the next three weeks. These results will then need to be reviewed and any assays over limit or gold assays will have to be finalized prior to release.
