RPX Red Pine Exploration Inc

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPX) (the "Company") has received
positive till sample results from its Ava-Claire Property (the "Property"),
located to the west of Timmins, Ontario. The property is situated in the
Kapuskasing Structural Zone, between the Trelawney Cote Lake Gold deposit to the
east, and the Probe Mines Borden Lake gold discovery to the west. Recently
received till sample results support the hypothesis that the Property has gold
mineralization glacially transported from a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold
System (RIRGS) similar to the Fort Knox and Dublin Gulch gold deposits, and
Probe Mines' Borden Lake gold discovery.


Ava-Claire Till Sampling

The Ava-Claire Property is set in a similar environment as Probe Mines' Borden
Lake discovery (click here to see an image), which has an inferred resource of
3.8 million ounces of gold. Red Pine geoscientists analyzed the lithological,
structural and geophysical signatures associated with the Borden Lake discovery,
and concluded that the Ava-Claire Property is situated in a similar geologic
environment.


To test the hypothesis that the Property has the potential to host gold
mineralization of the RIRGS type, Red Pine conducted a property-scale till
sampling program consisting of 69 sample locations spaced along two sample
corridors parallel to the prospective Kapuskasing Structural Zone (KSZ) (click
here to see an image). The till sample corridors were located south of the KSZ
as Quaternary geologic analysis indicates that the dominant paleo-ice direction
vector was from north to south.


The collected till samples were submitted to Overburden Drilling Management Ltd.
(ODM) of Nepean, Ontario for gold grain count analysis. This analysis revealed
30 of the samples had isolated gold grains, with a maximum of 10 gold grains
from one sample. 


The Company submitted the dense mineral concentrates from the ODM gold count
analysis to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (ACTLABS) of Ancaster, Ontario for
chemical analysis. This analysis was conducted to ascertain if gold was also
hosted in composite grains with sulphides, as per the Borden Lake gold
discovery. The analysis revealed that gold is indeed associated with sulphides,
and returned values up to 5.98 g/t Au from samples with no visible gold grains.
When this information was added to compiled data source from the Ontario
Geologic Service, a clear ice direction vector from the north-north-east was
identifed. 


A historical drilled copper occurrence with abundant pegmatite dikes, pyrrhotite
and chalcopyrite, and hornblende in metasediments found to the north-east of the
anomalous gold-in-till samples collected by Red Pine, is interpreted by Company
geoscientists to be associated with porphyry-style mineralization. This, coupled
with the identified association of gold with sulphides, ice direction vector
analysis, and a similar lithilogical, structural, and geophysical environment as
that associated with the Borden Lake gold discovery, supports the Company's
hypothesis that the Ava-Claire Property has the potential to host a Reduced
Intrusion-Related Gold System (click here to see an image). 


Exploration Plans

Based on the positive results obtained from the till sample analyses, the
Company will now have the dense mineral concentrates reanalysed for RIRGS
pathfinder elements and these test results are expected by late May. Depending
on results from this further analysis, infill till sampling will be conducted
over hypothesized glacial dispersal trains to generate targets for geophysical
surveying.

About Red Pine's Properties

The Ava-Claire Property - Kapuskasing Structural Zone

The Ava-Claire property is set in a similar environment as Probe Mines' Borden
Lake discovery. The Borden Lake discovery has an inferred resource of 3.8
million ounces of gold. Red Pine's consultant, Hadyn Butler, completed a
regional geologic interpretation of the Kapuskasing structural zone surrounding
this recent discovery. Red Pine believes that its geological and geophysical
interpretation is that of an extension of the "Borden Lake Belt", as identified
by Probe, which continues through the centre of Ava-Claire.


A till sampling program has been completed on Ava-Claire designed to identify
favourable locations for further exploration. It is expected that the pending
assay results from these samples will facilitate additional geophysical methods
to map conductive targets associated with sulphides as it was at the Borden Lake
discovery. The Company is awaiting these assays, as we believe that positive
results will be a catalyst for further exploration on Ava-Claire.


The SaraCourt Property - Swayze Belt

The SaraCourt Property is a regional land package of contiguous, high-potential
gold properties totaling approximately 28,000 hectares of patented and
unpatented mining lands. Located in and along the newly defined DZ3 Gold
Deformation Corridor, this property holds a series of deformation zones and
regional fault branches that host abundant gold showings and join the
Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone to the northeast, and join to the western
extension of the Larder Lake Deformation Zone fault that branches to the
southwest. The Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone is spatially associated with gold
deposits in the Timmins-Porcupine Gold Camp that have produced more than 65
million ounces gold to date.
