Red Eagle Mining Intercepts 6.0 Metres at 31.85 Grams Per Tonne Gold at Santa Rosa


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 13, 2012) - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:RD)(OTCQX:RDEMF), is pleased to announce the first and only assay results received to date on the in-progress, phase two drill program at the San Ramon deposit in the Santa Rosa gold project in Colombia. The first results include strong gold mineralization in both core drill holes SR-041 and SR-042, with the most significant intercept being in hole SR-042 which included 6.0 metres at 31.85 grams per tonne gold.

Phase two consists of 24 core drill holes (see Figure 1 - Drill Hole Plan: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/RD_Fig1.pdf), of which 19 holes totaling 3,995m have been completed to date with assays pending on 17 holes, numbered SR-043 to SR-059. The following table summarizes significant gold intercepts in the first two holes which were drilled from the same pad at inclinations of 45° and 70° and confirm that strong gold mineralization extends to depth (see Figure 2 - Cross Section B-B': http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/RD_Fig2.pdf). True widths are estimated to be close to 90% and 70% of the intercepts and vertical depths are estimated to be close to 70% and 90% of the drilled depths for holes SR-041 and SR-042 respectively, as reported below. All assay results are uncut.

"Our drilling at San Ramon continues to deliver high grade intercepts, with today's results of six metres at nearly an ounce per ton of gold confirming the robustness of the deposit," comments Ian Slater, Chief Executive Officer. "Both holes also significantly increased the width of the known gold mineralization and this was just the first two holes back out of sixty being drilled this summer."

San Ramon trends east-west, dips 65-70° to the north, extends over 1,800m, is up to 60m in width and is exposed at surface. Wide-spaced drilling intercepts from phase one averaged approximately 1.2 g/t Au to a vertical depth of over 250m. The mineralisation extends to surface where channel sampling has also averaged approximately 1 g/t Au. The 2012 work program for San Ramon includes the phase two core drill program (24 holes totaling an estimated 5,000m), a phase three core drill program in the near surface oxides over the entire known gold mineralisation which will commence in June (36 holes totaling an estimated 5,000m), preparation of a NI 43-101 resource and a preliminary metallurgical test work program.

Phase One Results

All the remaining assays have now been received from the phase one drilling program. Results from phase one drilling at San Ramon were previously reported (see news release dated January 17, 2012 - http://redeaglemining.com/news/?nid=17). Core drill holes SR-024 to SR-040 were exploratory holes targeting a few of the many currently identified anomalies outside of the San Ramon deposit and, while typically containing thin gold bearing veins, did not return economically significant results. With the exception of holes SR-029 and SR-031 which targeted the Malambo prospect in the Northwest Sector (which contains a large concentration of historic workings). The following table summarizes significant gold intercepts from the two holes drilled in the Malambo prospect to date.

RED EAGLE MINING ANNOUNCES POSITIVE PRELIMINARY METALLURGICAL RESULTS OF 85% TO 94% GOLD RECOVERIES FOR SANTA ROSA


Vancouver, BC, June 19, 2012 - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX-V: RD, OTCQX: RDEMF) is pleased to announce that it has received positive results for its initial metallurgical testwork on material from the San Ramon gold system in the Santa Rosa gold project in Colombia. The tests were conducted at the Acme Metallurgical Laboratory in Vancouver, Canada.

The oxide sample with a grade of 7.4 g/t Au produced leach results over six days of between 70% and 86.3% gold recovery depending on the crush size from 2 inches to 0.25 inch (see Table 1). The optimum result is 85.3% Au recovery at a 0.5 inch crush size, which is easily achievable as the material is friable. Reagent consumptions are within the bounds of conventional heap leach operations. The sample was taken from a near surface adit. As the gold grade of this sample was somewhat high, another sample composited from near surface adits and an outcrop across the shear has been submitted for testing with results pending.


The primary (non-oxidised) sample with a grade of 0.9 g/t showed that over 25% of the gold could be recovered by gravity concentration. The sample was taken from a recently mined crosscut in fresh rock which exposed the shear. Further testwork involving bench scale flotation and carbon in leach (CIL) tests is now being conducted.

Additionally, a sample with a grade of 24.3 g/t Au was taken from a vein to test the recovery characteristics of the sulphide material. A 48 hour leach test after grinding to 80% passing 74 microns produced a 94.6% gold recovery (see Table 2). In addition, the laboratory reported that the kinetic results showed that 91% of the gold is recovered within the first 24 hours of leaching. As a consequence of this relatively quick high recovery rate, combined with centrifugal gravity results showing that free-gold may be recovered by gravity prior to cyanide leaching, the overall cyanide leach time and chemical consumption may be reduced.

"Based on the positive metallurgical results to date showing gold recoveries of 85% to 94%, we are commencing a bulk sampling program for a PEA level study", comments Ian Slater, Chief Executive Officer. "These preliminary test results indicate that the processing routes will likely be heap leach for the oxidised material and gravity followed by flotation and CIL for the primary material which will improve recoveries of this higher grade material."

Red Eagle Mining Intercepts 35.5 Metres at 2.28 Grams Gold Per Tonne at Santa Rosa


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 26, 2012) -Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:RD)(OTCQX:RDEMF) is pleased to announce additional assay results received from the recently completed 24 hole, 5,400m phase two core drill program at the San Ramon gold system located within the Santa Rosa gold project in Colombia. Assays have now been received for 10 holes with assays pending on 14 holes (SR-052 to SR-065). The additional results show strong gold mineralisation over significant intervals in core drill holes SR-044, SR-045A, SR-047 and SR-048, with the most significant intercept being in hole SR-045A of 35.5 metres at 2.28 grams gold per tonne. This follows an intercept of 66.9 metres at 3.06 grams gold per tonne in hole SR-042 reported in the news release dated June 13, 2012 (http://redeaglemining.com/news/?pg=1&nyy=2012&nid=35), covering assays on the first two holes of phase two.

Table 1 summarizes significant (+0.20 g/t) uncut gold intercepts from phase two core drill holes SR-041 to SR-051 [see Figure 1 (http://redeaglemining.com/siteFiles/89/files/maps-lg/Stage1_San_Ramon_Drill_Map_June_2012Large.jpg) Drill Hole Plan and Figure 2 (http://redeaglemining.com/siteFiles/89/files/maps-lg/SR_SE_Sector_Long_Section_Schematic_22June12-Large.jpg) Long Section] of which the latest assays are for holes SR-043 to SR-051.

Holes SR-043, SR-046, SR-049 and SR-051 were drilled to test the western extent of the structure and as expected did not return economically significant results. The exception was hole SR-049, which returned an intercept of 4.8m at 6.14 g/t Au, indicating that the structure may extend along strike to the west, possibly pinching to narrower widths in places but with higher grades, which is encouraging for underground mining evaluation below and outside the potential open pit.

"Our drilling at San Ramon continues to deliver confirmation of a robust mineralised system containing numerous high grade gold intercepts and long intervals," comments Ian Slater, Chief Executive Officer. "Assays are pending on another 14 holes from phase two and phase three drilling is continuing through the summer."

The San Ramon structure trends east-west, dips 60°-70° to the north, extends over 1,800m, is up to 60m in width and is exposed at surface. Wide-spaced drilling intercepts from phase one averaged approximately 1.2 g/t Au to a vertical depth of over 250m. The mineralisation extends to surface where channel sampling has also averaged approximately 1 g/t Au. The 2012 work program for San Ramon includes the phase two core drill program (24 holes totaling 5,400m), a phase three core drill program in the near surface oxides over the entire known gold mineralisation which has just commenced (36 holes totaling an estimated 5,000m), preparation of a NI 43-101 resource and a preliminary metallurgical test work programme.
