Red Eagle Mining Commences Oxide Drilling Program at Santa Rosa



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 4, 2012) -Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:RD)(OTCQX:RDEMF) is pleased to announce that following the successful first (see news release dated January 17, 2012: http://redeaglemining.com/news/?pg=1&nyy=2012&nid=17) and, recently completed, second (see news releases dated June 13, 2012: http://redeaglemining.com/news/?pg=1&nyy=2012&nid=35 and June 26, 2012: http://redeaglemining.com/news/?nid=37) phases of drilling at the Santa Rosa gold project in Colombia, a third 5,000m, at least 36 core hole program commenced June 24 on the San Ramon gold system. This phase of drilling will specifically target the oxidised mineralisation which extends to an average of 80m to 100m in depth, including an average of 50m from surface of mineralised saprolite. Saprolite is a chemically weathered rock and represents deep weathering of the bedrock surface. In most outcrops its red color comes from iron compounds. Deeply weathered profiles are widespread on the continental landmasses between latitudes 35°N and 35°S.

Results from surface sampling and trenching, the channel sampling of over 400 adits and past artisanal mining activity indicates that the saprolite contains similar gold mineralisation to that seen in the primary mineralisation. From cross-sections, it appears that the gold mineralisation expands out from the controlling shear structure and "blossoms" at and near the surface (see Figure 1 - Cross Section B-B': http://redeaglemining.com/siteFiles/89/files/maps-lg/CrossSectionSR-041-042-Large.jpg). This drilling program will test the uniformity of the saprolite mineralisation, the depth of the oxide mineralization and the thickness of the transitional zone over the entire 1,800m strike length. Energold Drilling has been selected as the drilling contractor for the program which is expected to be completed by September. The drill holes will be relatively short, with depths ranging from 40m to 150m.

"Drilling of the oxides is targeted to confirm mineralisation from surface and enable us to prepare our initial NI 43-101 resource for San Ramon by the end of the year," comments Ian Slater, Chief Executive Officer.
