Red Metal Resources Limited: Announces Update on Drilling

Highlights

• First hole on new zone intercepted 6 metres of vein with strong visible copper sulphides; further 1.5 kilometres of untested strike length
• All holes have intercepted visible copper sulphide mineralization and alteration associated with IOCG deposits
• Diamond drill core continues to provide valuable alteration and structural information not seen in previous RC drilling

Diamond Drilling

The final four drillholes of the program targeted the south and north end of the Farellon zone and tested a previously undrilled structure parallel to the Farellon zone. All four drillholes have intercepted zones of sulphide mineralization including chalcopyrite and chalcocite and zones of strong alteration associated with iron oxide copper gold ("IOCG") deposits.

⁽¹⁾ Widths are drill indicated core length as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths with at this time.

New Zone Drill Tested

The newly tested parallel structure lies approximately 250 metres west of the Farellon vein and was mapped and sampled on surface in 2012. Mapping completed in 2012 traced the vein continuously over approximately 1.5 kilometres. All six surface samples taken along the structure in 2012 are listed below and all samples returned significant copper, gold and cobalt. The structure was tested with one drillhole and a six metre quartz calcite vein was intercepted from 142m to 142.6m with visible chalcopyrite mineralization, intense pyrrhotite, albite and actinolite alteration.

Sampling is ongoing for drillholes and no visual estimates of grade have been made. Assay lab expected turn-around times are estimated to be four to six weeks from receipt of samples.

Caitlin Jeffs, President, CEO, stated: "We are very excited to have drill confirmation of significant vein width and mineralization on a new vein with a full 1.5 kilometres of mapped continuity to drill in the future and numerous other veins that have yet to be tested with drilling. We believe the nature of the alteration and veining indicates that we are in the top of a large IOCG system and that we are in the early stages of showing the full potential."

QAQC

Red Metal has implemented a quality control program to comply with industry best practices for sampling, chain of custody and analyses. Certified copper gold reference standards, blanks and duplicates are inserted at the core processing site as part of the QA/QC program in addition to the control samples inserted by the lab.
