Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: RPX) (OTCQB: RDEXF) is pleased to announce gold assay results from eighteen (18) drill holes for 2,233 metres from the ongoing drill program at its Wawa Gold Project, Ontario. The drill program is designed to define and extend near-surface gold mineralization in the areas with open pit potential that are being evaluated in the ongoing work being done to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (See Press Release dated October 29, 2025).

Drilling Highlights (Table 1 and Figure 1)

• Significant near-surface intersections in a drilling gap in the Jubilee Shear in hole SD-25-593

o  4.63 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 13.25 m core length, including 18.60 g/t Au over 1.47 m and 14.70 g/t Au over 0.88 m

o  35.10 g/t Au over 0.94 m

• 10.05 g/t Au over 8.59 m including 51.55 g/t Au over 1.56 m, including 82.80 g/t Au over 0.92 m in SD-25-616 from infill drilling in the Jubilee area.

Michael Michaud, President and CEO of Red Pine commented: “We are pleased with our recent drill results that continue to identify significant zones of near-surface gold mineralization within areas of the Jubilee Shear that were sparsely tested or untested in historical drilling programs in the near surface crown pillars of the former mines. These results highlight the potential to expand the mineral inventory and reduce future stripping requirements.

Additionally, our infill and continuity-focused drilling aimed at evaluating open-pit potential has confirmed the presence of continuous gold mineralization and indicates that additional high-grade zones remain to be discovered as drill spacing tightens across priority targets.

The Company is also pleased to announce the selection of DRA Global Limited to complete the PEA for the Wawa Gold Project. We remain on track to complete the PEA in the first half of 2026.”

Drilling Program

Red Pine recently initiated a diamond drilling program to confirm and extend gold mineralization in the areas with open pit potential along the Jubilee Shear that are being evaluated in the ongoing work being done to complete a PEA (see press release of October 29, 2025).

The new results demonstrate that gold mineralization in the Jubilee Shear extends to surface in the crown pillars of the historical mines and that significant zones of mineralization remain to be discovered in areas that were sparsely or untested in historical drilling programs. With additional infill drilling, the new zone of gold mineralization intersected in SD-25-593 has the potential to expand the mineral resource with open pit potential in the Jubilee Shear. The intersection in SD-25-616 could also increase the high-grade mineral inventory available in the areas with open pit potential.

*Intercepts are calculated using a 0.40 g/t Au cut-off and a maximum of 6.0 m of internal dilution with no capping applied and are reported over core lengths. True widths are estimated to vary between 50 to 95% of the reported core length in the Jubilee Shear.
