Michael Michaud, President and CEO of Red Pine commented: “We are excited by these near surface drill results that continue to identify higher grades within the Jubilee Shear Zone. With the drilling for the updated mineral resource estimate now completed, we are moving forward to completing a preliminary economic assessment in the first half of 2026.

At the same time, metallurgical, geotechnical, and baseline work is underway to support permitting. Our next drill phase to further expand near-surface gold mineralization is set to begin shortly.

With funding in place to complete the PEA, we are on track in our work to unlock significant value as we advance toward production and transition from explorer to producer in today’s strong gold price environment.”
