Red Pine Exploration Completes Initial Review of Cayenne-Chili Property
July 12 2013 - 8:00AM
Marketwired Canada
Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RPX) ("Red Pine") has recently completed
a bedrock sampling program of it Cayenne-Chili Property. The Cayenne-Chili
Property consists of 57 contiguous mining claims for 8,704 hectares. The
property has been subject to two major tectonic events: an earlier event
generating N-S trending folds and a later event generating E-W folding. These
have been interpreted as the western extension from the Larder-Cadillac
deformation zone and the second a western extension from the Porcupine-Destor
deformation zone to the north.
Historical exploration focused on the "Jefferson Deposit". In 1950 additional
drilling tested the continuity of the mineralized zone to a depth of 85 metres.
The results of this effort intersected 4.43% Zn and 1.25% Pb over 22.9 metres
and 9.1% Zn and 11.5% Pb over 6.9 metres. In the 1980's work by Falconbridge at
the Jefferson deposit concluded that the mineralization is associated with
cross-cutting fractures and not strictly of the VMS type. The best hole
encountered 2.7% Zn over 9.12 metres and 1.6% Zn over 13.83 metres. Another hole
had 1.7% Zn over 17.2 metres.
The historical estimates are not current and do not meet the standards
prescribed by NI 43-101. They provide an indication of the potential of the
properties and are relevant to ongoing exploration and evaluation.
An extensive review of the existing data led the company to conclude that the
most favorable targets remain untested. The review included but was not limited
to interpretation of an extensive geophysical database that included:
-- Airborne EM
-- Airborne Magnetics
-- Ground Gravity
-- Ground EM
-- Ground IP
-- Ground Magnetics
Based on the historical intersections and the revised interpretation a field
program consisting of over 1,500 rock sample locations was conducted. The
purpose of this recently completed field program was to both build a geochemical
signature as well as confirm the structural setting of the mineralization. Under
the direction of Rogerio Noal Monteiro, Ph. D. (vektore Exploration and
Consulting) orientated surface sample were taken. Additionally the historic core
was recovered and is currently being reviewed for mineralization-related
structural features.
A limited amount of mechanized trenching was completed during the sampling
program and the VenCan (the prior name of Red Pine) Zinc showing (press release
January 16, 2007) was exposed. Grab samples from this area during the summer of
2006 yielded assay values ranging from 11.2% to 17.96% zinc (Zn). The exposure
of the zinc showing confirmed the geophysical model - that the major surface
expression of the mineralization was not intersected during the previous drill
programs. Additional grab samples and structural measurements were obtained.
Within the coming weeks the Company expects to have the geochemical results and
combine them with the geophysical and structural models that will direct a drill
program to be completed later this year.
