Red Pine Exploration Inc. ("Red Pine" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RPX)
announces it will commence drilling next week on the Company's recently acquired
Dome Mines property as well as its optioned Algoma Talisman (ATM) property,
located in the Abitibi West region of the Swayze Greenstone Belt. An initial
1,500 metre drill program will investigate the gold-bearing structures on the
"Michelle" Zone which is to be completed this month. Additional drilling is
planned for the "Krista" Zone and the Charlie Mortimer Property ("CMP") once the
current drill program is completed.


Three Immediate Gold Targets Identified Based on New Compilation of Geophysical Data

Given the volume of data and its antiquated style of presentation, the Company
reconstructed, reinterpreted and compiled the available data during the period
from March 2010 to July 2010. The magnetic and IP data collected over the
Michelle and Krista zones from 2001 were modeled (in 3-D) and the information
was combined with the existing borehole data (geology and assay results). This
data was then combined in GoCad(TM) and as a result, a new interpretation of the
gold-bearing structures on the Michelle and Krista zones has been completed.


This new interpretation of data assisted in gaining a better control and insight
on the previously identified gold zones. Red Pine has identified three immediate
gold targets of interest based on details of this compilation and new
geophysical data;


1. The Michelle Zone (Dome's West Zone and West Zone Extension), straddles a
parallel shear structure also associated with the Orofino Mine (746,946 tonnes
of 5.34 grams per tonne gold; 128,151 ounces). Four drill holes are planned for
this area with a targeted start date of August 20, 2010.


2. The Michelle Zone also includes Greenshield Resources "L23" area, discovered
during a regional reconnaissance grab sampling program located approximately 500
metres west of the initial Dome zone of interest. The grab samples from this
area had anomalous gold values up to 34.29 g/t Au. Greenshields follow-up
drilling in 2004 of the area reported 2.35 g/t Au over 13.35 metres in hole
G-04-26 which included 3.02 g/t Au over 9.75 metres. One drill hole is planned
in this area as part of Red Pines initial intrusive program.


3. The Krista Zone was also explored by Greenshield Resources and is located on
a similar parallel shear structure to the Michelle Zone, approximately 2
kilometres north and has to date produced the most significant gold values in
grab samples. The Krista Zone is currently being mapped in detail.


New Interpretation

As part of the compilation work done by Red Pine, all geophysical, geological,
and geochemical data was re-interpreted by geological staff. In addition, Red
Pine conducted its own airborne, ground IP surveys, surface mapping and
sampling. The culmination of this information has further highlighted the three
areas of interest noted above and the drilling program to commence later this
month will drill-test some of the more promising mineralization in the Michelle
Zone.


Based on the historical data compilation, a new grid was established over the
Michelle and Krista zones and a detailed IP survey was completed by Abitibi
Geophysics. A detailed airborne magnetic gradient survey was also conducted by
Aeroquest Limited at 50m and 100m line spacing. The results of the new IP survey
have identified numerous IP anomalies associated with structures resolved from
the airborne magnetic survey. The Michelle and Krista Zones are easily
identifiable in the geophysical data as well as a number of other anomalous
areas that will require follow up.


Charlie Mortimer Property

Red Pine recently completed an IP survey (Abitibi Geophysics) and airborne
magnetic (Aeroquest Limited) over the Charlie Mortimer Property (CMP). The CMP
bounds the Kenty Mine (250,000 t of 8 g/t Au) to the west, north and east. The
Kenty Mine exists at a geological contact trending east/west and this contact
extends onto the CMP in both directions.


The IP survey has identified a number of IP anomalies associated with this
contact to the east of the Kenty Mine. The anomalous IP responses are trending
approximately at 75 degrees NE and cross the main East - West contact identified
by the airborne magnetic. These anomalies are highly prospective given they
match the trend of Kenty Mine deposits. Further prospecting and surface sampling
is planned over these IP anomalies.


Area Focus

Both the Dome Mines and ATM properties are part of Red Pine's regional land
package of contiguous, high-potential gold properties, totaling approximately
28,000 hectares of patented and unpatented mining lands. Located in and along
the newly defined DZ3 gold trend, the area holds a series of deformation zones
and regional fault branches that host abundant gold showings and join the
Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone to the northeast, and join to the western
extension of the Larder Lake Deformation Zone fault that branches to the
southwest. The Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone is spatially associated with gold
deposits in the Porcupine Gold Camp that have produced more than 65 million
ounces gold to date.


Consulting geologist Hadyn Butler, P.Geo. comments, "In the past 35 years, gold
exploration by companies in the western Abitibi has been scattered and
unfocused. New geophysical evidence on the origin of mesothermal gold deposits
have greatly improved over time. The two-plus decades of field work done to date
by prospectors in this area and the results exhibited thus far certainly
confirms the gold mineralization potential of the Properties. The gold-bearing
veins discovered so far all feature the typical characteristics of significant
mesothermal gold vein systems."


Red Pine to Raise Capital Through Private Placement

The Company has initiated a brokered and non-brokered private placement offering
for the issuance of up to 15,000,000 Flow-Through units at $0.08 per unit
resulting in gross proceeds of $1,200,000. Each Flow-Through Unit entitles the
subscriber to receive one Flow-Through Common Share of the Company plus one-half
of one Non-Flow-Through Purchase Warrant. Each full Non-Flow-Through Purchase
Warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at an exercise price
of $0.15 for 24 months from the date of issue. The Company intends to use the
proceeds of the offering for exploration on its gold properties located in the
Timmins Region of Ontario.


The Company intends to close this offering during August 2010. All securities to
be issued in connection with this offering will be subject to a statutory
four-month hold period from the date of issue. Completion of the offering
remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
