RD-V Red Eagle Mining intercepts 2.8 metres at 30 grams gold per tonne
VANCOUVER, June 1, 2016 /CNW/ - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX-V: RD, OTCQX: RDEMF, SSE-V: RDCL) is pleased to announce that detailed ore production stope delineation drilling has commenced at the San Ramon Gold Mine, Santa Rosa Gold Project, Antioquia, Colombia and will continue for the life of the mine. Highlights from the first four holes (SRD-0001 to SRD-0005) include intercepts:
SRD-0003 - 4.00m at 10.68 g/t Au from 60.70m down hole (incl. 1.10m at 27.38 g/t Au)SRD-0004 - 7.80m at 12.79 g/t Au from 71.40m down hole (incl. 2.80m at 30.44 g/t Au)SRD-0005 - 8.15m at 5.71 g/t Au from 96.20m down hole (incl. 1.60m at 15.65 g/t Au)"The initial results from the in-fill drill programme have exceeded our expectations with intercepts significantly longer than our average mining width of 3.00m and grades significantly higher than our reserve grade of 5.20 g/t Au", comments Bob Bell, Chief Operating Officer.
Hole SRD-0002 was abandoned. For complete drill results, please see Table 1 – Drill Hole Intercepts, Table 2 – Drill Hole Specifications, Figure 1 – Long Section and Figure 2 – Cross Section. True widths are estimated to be 70-90% of the intercepts and vertical depths are estimated to be 70-90% of the drilled depths reported below. Drill assays were composited by length-weighted averaging into intersections using a 2.00 g/t Au cut-off grade. Due to the mining method and mining selectivity contemplated for the deposit, internal dilution was included in some intersections where considered appropriate for mining continuity.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All drill samples were collected with a diamond core drill rig using approximately one metre sample intervals following standard industry practice. Activation Laboratories Ltd. prepared and assayed the samples at their laboratory in Medellin, Colombia. Fire assay for Au (using a 50 gram sample) with an AAS finish was carried out routinely on all samples submitted. For all samples which returned initial Au fire assays of greater than 5 g/t Au, a second fire assay for Au was performed (also using a 50 gram sample) with a gravimetric finish. QA/QC included the monitoring of standards and a coarse blank inserted into the sample stream.
