SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
What is our business?
The Corporation is engaged in the identification, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a particular focus on gold exploration projects located in northern Ontario. The Corporation’s flagship asset is a 100%-owned gold exploration project located near Wawa, Ontario, Canada (the “Wawa Gold Project”). The Common Shares are listed on the TSXV (TSXV: RPX) and OTCQB Marketplace (OTCQB: RDEXF). The Wawa Gold Project is the subject of an updated technical report entitled “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Wawa Gold Project”, with an effective date of September 30, 2024 (mineral resource effective date of August 28, 2024) (the “Technical Report”), which is available for review under the Company’s profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
Wawa Gold Project
The Wawa Gold Project, located approximately 2 km east of the Town of Wawa in northern Ontario, covers over 7,123 hectares (“ha”), including 307 claims covering 4,887 ha; 17 leases covering 790 ha; and 106 patents covering 1,446 ha. The Wawa Gold Project hosts several former smaller scale mining operations with a combined historic production of 419,560 tonnes with a recovered 120,093 oz of gold at an average head grade of 9.04 g/t3 Au.
On March 30, 2021, the Company completed a consolidation of the Wawa Gold Project through the payment of $11.3 million in cash, the granting of a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) valued at $160,000 and the set-off of a $1.1 million payable to the Company by the vendors. 1.5% of the 2% NSR is
6
subject to a buyback for a total cost of $1.75 million. On August 29, 2023, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with Franco-Nevada Corporation for the sale of a 1.5% NSR for C$6,750,000, less transaction costs. On December 12, 2024, the Company acquired one patented mining and surface rights claim within the boundaries of the Wawa Gold Project for cash consideration of $57,285 and the granting of a 2% net smelter return royalty.
Other Properties
The Company holds claims in various other prospective mineral properties which have not been the focus of the Company’s exploration programs in recent years. The other properties, each owned 100% by the Company are summarized as follows: (i) the Cayenne Property, located in the Genoa Township, approximately 110 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, which covers approximately 133 ha and is comprised of 5 claims and leases; and (ii) the Fern Elizabeth Property, located 10 km northwest of Atikokan, Ontario, which covers 1,006 ha and is comprised of 54 claims and leases.
The Company also holds NSR’s on the following properties: (i) a 1.5% NSR on approximately 75 square km of claims 20 km east of the Newmont Borden Gold mine near Chapleau, Ontario; and (ii) a 1.5% NSR on approximately 70 square km of patents 100 km southwest of Timmins and 36 km south of Foleyet, Ontario.
Recent developments
The following is a brief summary of key recent developments involving or affecting the Company:
-
Following the discovery of gold assay (“assay”) reporting inconsistencies between a certified assay result received from Activation Laboratories Ltd. and the corresponding assay logged in the Company’s drill hole database in late April 2024, staff initiated a process to determine the impact of the inconsistencies. The Company announced the completion of this process in its press release of June 24, 2024. Subsequently, the Company expanded the independent verification sampling and assaying of drill core performed by WSP Canada Inc., re-confirming the presence of significant gold mineralization on the Wawa Gold Project, as stated in Red Pine’s press release of July 24, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company filed the Technical Report, which supersedes the technical report previously published in 2019. Further information can be found in the Company’s management discussion & analysis for the year ended July 31, 2024 available under the Company’s profile on www.sedarplus.ca.
-
On October 1, 2024, the Company announced the closing of a “bought” deal private placement offering comprised of: (i) 33,336,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.09 per Common Share; (ii) 28,572,000 tranche one flow through common shares at a price of $0.105 per share; and (iii) 39,683,000 tranche 2 flow through common shares at a price of $0.126 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $11,000,358 (the “October 2024 Financing”). The October 2024 Financing was conducted on a “bought deal” basis by a syndicate of underwriters led by Haywood Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including Research Capital Corporation, as co-lead underwriter (together with Haywood Securities Inc., the “Underwriters”). In consideration for their services, the Underwriters received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the October 2024 Financing and that number of non-transferable compensation options equal to 6.0% of the number of securities sold in the October 2024 Financing. Each compensation option is exercisable to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.090 until October 1, 2026. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement between
7
Red Pine and Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”) dated December 20, 2019, Alamos exercised its right to maintain its pro rata ownership interest of the Common Shares on a partially diluted basis, purchasing 13,763,530 Common Shares. As a result, on the date of closing of the October 2024 Financing, Alamos owned and controlled 39,601,066 Common Shares, representing approximately 13.55% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on an undiluted basis.
-
On October 17, 2024, the Company announced the initial results of its 2024 prospecting program on the Wawa Gold Project. Initial results from 105 prospecting samples in the Cooper Area identified a network of extensional and shear-hosted quartz veins, oriented northwest to north-northwest, with indications of high-grade gold mineralization that are connected to the Cooper Shear, host to the past producing Cooper Mine. The extensional shear zones discovered represent potentially significant exploration targets similar to the Minto Deposit located at the south end of the Jubilee Deposit.
-
On October 31, 2024, the Company announced the assay results from 13 drill holes representing 2,725 metres (“m”) of assayed core length. The drilling confirmed that shallow, south-plunging gold mineralization of the Jubilee Shear in the north part of the Wawa Gold Project continues to the south in the faulted extension of the Jubilee Shear. The shear has been shifted approximately 800m to the southeast along the later stage Parkhill Fault.
-
On November 12, 2024, the Company announced the beginning of its fully funded 25,000m drilling program for 2024 and 2025 at the Wawa Gold Project. The primary objective of the drilling program is to extend the zones of gold mineralization in the already sizeable gold system of the Wawa Gold Project beyond the 2024 mineral resource estimate (“MRE”), by focusing on:
-
the down-plunge, underground potential of the Jubilee Shear where limited drilling has returned results of up to 14.87 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 5.20m (core length), 8.89 g/t Au over 3.75m (core length) and 120.88 g/t Au over 0.30m (core length; Jubilee South);
- the down dip potential beneath the reported pit shell for the Jubilee Shear that remains untested (Jubilee Central);
- the northern extension of the Jubilee Shear in the Jubilee/Cooper area where recent prospecting has returned encouraging results (Jubilee North and Jubilee/Cooper); and
-
the recently discovered faulted extension of the Jubilee Shear on the southern side of the Parkhill Fault (Jubilee Ext.)
-
On November 27, 2024, the Company announced assay results from prospecting in the War Eagle area, which is located approximately 13 km south-southeast of the MRE. Surface prospecting at the War Eagle area, combined with an updated geologic model, outlined a 200m wide zone hosting several east-northeast oriented gold mineralized structures. These prospecting results, when combined with the results from prior prospecting and channel samples reported in the Technical Report support the presence of multiple zones of gold mineralization in the shears forming the War Eagle area. Additionally, the integration of assay results with the structural measurements taken in 2024 combined with the magnetic trends suggest that the War Eagle shear system could be striking over at least 600m.
-
On December 17, 2024, the Company announced assay results from prospecting at the Wawa Gold Project. These results outlined a zone of near surface, lower grade mineralization, namely the Hornblende Shear zone, that extends over at least 2.4 km along strike and is located, on average, less than 350m west of the conceptual open pit constraining the MRE. The mineralization zones of
8
the Hornblende Shear are not currently included in the MRE. In addition, prospecting further to the west uncovered high gold grades from extensional quartz veining that is similar in character and orientation to the higher grade Minto Shear zone. The prospecting results have confirmed that the gold system extends at least 2.5km south and 2.7km north beyond the MRE and highlights the underexplored nature of much of the Wawa Gold Project.
- On December 17, 2024, the Company also announced that it had acquired a key patented mining and surface rights claim, measuring 3.8 ha in size, proximal to the Hornblende shear.
- On February 19, 2025, the Company announced the results of three holes for 2,793 m of drilling at the Wawa Gold Project. The drilling results confirmed the extension of gold mineralization in both the Jubilee & Minto Shears considering large step out drilling of over 100m. These initial drill results defined gold mineralization outside of the MRE in the faulted southern extension of the Jubilee Shear.
- On March 20, 2025, the Company announced gold assay results from four drill holes for 1,487m of assayed drill core. Step-out drilling at the Jubilee Shear intersected 5.68 g/t Au over 10.72m, including 19.05 g/t Au over 2.00m, which was 600m down plunge from previous drilling. Near surface drilling at the past producing Parkhill Mine, located in the Hanging Wall of the Jubilee Shear, intersected 6.49 g/t Au over 1.11m more than 300m from the historical workings and confirmed the continuity of gold mineralization for future drilling.
- On May 8, 2025, the Company announced that it was evaluating the potential of developing an early-stage open pit operation at the Wawa Gold Project. The Company announced that it was refocusing a component of its drilling program to evaluate a potential open pit operation in two areas in the Jubilee Shear with approximately 8,500m of drilling planned over a 3-month period.
- On May 12, 2025, the Company announced the initial results of this near-surface drilling program. The Company announced near-surface intersection of 14.51 g/t Au over 4.81m, including 90.40 g/t Au over 0.67m at the edge of the MRE within an area for consideration for a potential open-pit operation. Several high-grade gold intersections > 5.00 g/t Au at depth in the Jubilee Shear located hundreds of meters away from the MRE, which are indicative of the potential for future growth to the mineral resource.
- On June 18, 2025, the Company announced further results of this near surface drilling program at the Wawa Gold Project. The Company announced 45.38 g/t Au over 3.13m core length, including 141.00 g/t Au over 0.88 m in hole SD-25-559 and near-surface intersection of 1.86 g/t Au over 19.09m including 4.28 g/t Au over 4.88m in hole SD-25-544. Previous intersections from the same area include:
- 14.51 g/t Au over 4.81m, including 90.40 g/t Au over 0.67m in hole SD-25-552;
- 109.00 g/t Au over 0.86 g/t Au in historical hole U0590L3 from unsampled historical core; and
- 176.00 g/t Au over 0.78m in hold SD-16-15 that is located on strike from hole SD-25-559.
Material facts
There are no material facts about the securities being distributed that have not been disclosed in this offering document or in any other document filed on the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca in the 12 months
9
preceding the date of this offering document. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising either the minimum or the maximum amount under this Offering.
What are the business objectives that we expect to accomplish using the available funds?
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of Units for working capital, general corporate purposes and the evaluation of the potential for future open pit production at the Wawa Gold Project, including technical studies and permitting, which are not considered Qualifying Expenditures.
The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to incur Qualifying Expenditures on the Wawa Gold Project in Ontario, Canada on or before December 31, 2026. This includes programs and expenditures to advance the Jubilee Shear towards defining a revised mineral resource, which will be used to evaluate several areas of the Jubilee Shear for open-pit production as part of a phased development approach for the entire deposit. The development approach includes an infill and near-surface diamond drill campaign to infill gaps in the existing mineral resources. The drilling will also be used to collect additional information to better assess the environmental, geotechnical and metallurgical characteristics of the deposit. The Company expects such activities will be carried out over a period of 3 months at the end of the 2025 calendar year, following the closing of the Offering.

(1) Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company will grant to the Agents an option, exercisable in full or in part up to two business days prior to the Closing Date, to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 15% of the maximum number of Units sold in the Offering ($825,000, or 8,250,000 Units).
(2) See "Fees and Commissions" below.
(3) The working capital as at May 31, 2025, is an estimate of management; actual results may differ.
The Company has experienced a decline in working capital since the closing of the October 2024 Financing (as defined below). The Company is an exploration stage mining company which earns no revenue, and exploration and development work undertaken by the Company is funded by available cash from financing activities. The Company has raised working capital through the sale of securities, but its exploration activity to the date hereof has resulted in a decrease in working capital.
How will we use the available funds?
| Description of intended use of available funds listed in order of priority. | Assuming minimum Offering only. | Assuming 100% of the Offering. | Assuming 100% of Offering (Including Exercise of Agents’ Option) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exploration drilling | $0 | $2,000,000 | $2,000,000 |
| Existing Qualifying Expenditure Commitments | $2,390,951 | $2,390,951 | $2,390,951 |
| Permitting | $0 | $1,200,000 | $1,200,000 |
| Technical Studies | $0 | $800,000 | $800,000 |
| Working capital and general corporate purposes | $1,095,869 | $2,265,869 | $3,041,369 |
| Total available funds: | $3,486,820 | $8,656,820 | $9,432,320 |
The above noted allocation represents the Company’s current intentions with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge, planning and expectations of management of the Company. Although the Company intends to expend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan and sustain its operations for not less than 12 months from the Closing Date of the Offering.
The most recent audited annual financial statements and interim financial report of the Company included a going-concern note. The Company is still in the exploration stage and the Company has not yet generated positive cash flows from its operating activities, which may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Offering is intended to permit the Company to advance the Wawa Gold Project based on the recommendations of the Technical Report, and maintain its ownership of the Wawa Gold Project and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in the next annual financial statements of the Company.
How have we used the other funds we have raised in the past 12 months?
On October 1, 2024, the Company closed the October 2024 Financing of a sale of: (i) 33,336,000 Common Shares; (ii) 28,572,000 tranche one flow through common shares; and (iii) 39,683,000 tranche 2 flow through common shares, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $11,000,358.
The net proceeds from the sale of flow through common shares in the October 2024 Financing were used by the Company to incur Qualifying Expenditures related to the Company’s projects in Ontario. All Qualifying Expenditures were renounced in favour of the subscribers of the flow-through common shares effective December 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares in the October 2024 Financing were used by the Company for general working capital and corporate purposes, and for exploration at the Wawa Gold Project.
