▪ Maiden resource of 100,000 oz gold at 6.8 g/t

(Nov. 7, 2018)

▪ Occurs within shallow, narrow, high-grade veins and

shears outside of the current Surluga Deposit

envelope

▪ Mineralization remains open in all directions

▪ Potential to expand resource - exploration target* of

additional 250,000-750,000 oz gold at 5-10 g/t

*The Reader is cautioned that the potential tonnages and

grades of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, that

there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral

resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result

in any of the Exploration Targets being delineated as a mineral

resource.

MINTO MINE SOUTH ZONEPOTENTIAL FOR EXPANSION

11

Initial resource only a small portion of larger footprint:

▪ Drilling to date has only covered 15-20% of Minto Mine South structure

▪ Additional mineralized zones within Minto Shear and in parallel footwall structures

▪ Minto Stockwork - “mineralization halo”, not included in current resource, will add gold to Minto Mine South Zone inventory

▪ 2018/19 drill program intersected high-grade quartz veins in the Minto Stockwork (16.47 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 14.11 g/t Au

over 1.1 m, 17.66 g/t Au over 1.2 m)

NEWLY DISCOVERED COOPER STRUCTURE

13

Discovery supports hypothesis that multiple high-grade,

Minto-like deposits exist on the property

▪ High-grade structure located 1 km east of the northeast

extension of the Surluga Deposit

▪ The historic Cooper Mine milled over 4,400 tonnes at an average

grade of 11.4 g/t Au

▪ Ended production in 1938

▪ Highlighted channel sampling results include:

▪ 27.0 g/t Au over 0.31 m

▪ 9.6 g/t Au over 0.42 m

▪ 3.5 g/t Au over 1.45 m

▪ Historic drill hole intersect returned 10.90 g/t Au over 4.39 m

▪ Similar geology to Minto Mine South

▪ Trenching program underway followed by drilling which began in

August 2019

Page 14: DEFINING THE PATH TO BECOMING A MINE...DISTRICT SCALE POTENTIAL 7 In a prolific greenstone belt, surrounded by producing gold assets (Av. grade >5 g/t) HEMLO Barrick 30 Moz EAGLE RIVER

6 ADDITIONAL EXPLORATION TARGETS

14

▪ Trenching underway at Cooper Shear System, Grace Deformation Zone and the southern extension of the Jubilee Shear Zone

▪ Diamond drilling began in August 2019 to test priority targets in the Cooper Shear System and prove the continuation of Surluga Deposit to depth (>350 metres)

WHY INVEST IN RED PINE?

16

Wawa Gold Corridor: large (>6 km long), high-grade gold system with multi-million ounce gold resource potential

New emerging gold camp in a premier mining jurisdiction

700,000 oz of gold grading > 5 g/t (both indicated and inferred) already identified on property, open at depth and on strike

6 additional exploration targets identified on property

Results to date validate strategy of delineating shallow, high-grade deposits amenable to bulk underground mining
