RED EAGLE MINING ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURING
August 24, 2018 – Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX: R, BVL: R, OTCQX: RDEMF) announces a comprehensive restructuring. As of June 30, 2018, Red Eagle Mining had a negative working capital of approximately US $100 million, had been accruing interest on its US $60 million credit facility with Orion Mine Finance (“Orion”) and Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC (“LMM”) at the default rate of LIBOR + 14% and been operating under a forbearance agreement since April 2018. The situation was unsustainable, so a comprehensive restructuring is being implemented including a private placement, retirement of the credit facility, writing off all accrued interest, writing off supplier account payables, appointing a new independent Chairman and a share consolidation. Write offs of the credit facility, accrued interest and supplier account payables total US $44 million and capitalization of the credit facility and supplier account payables total US $18 million.
Upon closing there will be approximately 81 million common shares outstanding, no debt or accrued interest, positive working capital and near term cash flow positive operations. Going forward, Red Eagle Mining will be on sound financial footing with a solid balance sheet, all stakeholders aligned and sufficient working capital to support the mining operations to succeed.
Private Placement
Red Eagle Mining announces a private placement (“Private Placement”) for gross proceeds of approximately C $50 million (US $38 million), consisting of approximately 250 million common shares (“Share”) at a price of C $0.20 per Share. Annibale SAC (“Annibale”) currently owns approximately 9.5% of Red Eagle Mining and has agreed to backstop the Private Placement (“Backstop”). Shareholders of Red Eagle Mining that meet available exemptions will be able to participate in the Private Placement. Proceeds will be used for repayment of long term debt and working capital at the Santa Rosa Gold Project. The Shares are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.
Credit Agreement
Red Eagle Mining has agreed to retire its US $60 million credit facility with Orion and LMM. Red Eagle Mining will settle the credit facility, including all accrued interest, for US $28 million cash and approximately US $15 million in equity (99 million Shares) on the same terms as the Private Placement (“Debt Retirement Transaction”).
Mining Contractor
Stracon, mining contractor for the San Ramon Gold Mine, has agreed to convert approximately US $3 million in accounts receivable into equity (20 million Shares) on the same terms as the Private Placement.
Board of Directors
Fernando Palazuelo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Annibale, will replace Jeffrey Mason on Red Eagle Mining’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Private Placement. Mr. Palazuelo will also assume the role of independent Chairman.
The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Mason for his service over the last eight years, since inception, and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.
Share Consolidation
After closing of the above-mentioned transactions, Red Eagle Mining’s Shares will be consolidated (the “Consolidation”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Share for every ten pre-consolidation Shares. The approximately 812 million Shares outstanding upon closing will be reduced to approximately 81 million Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued. Any fractions of a share will be rounded down to the nearest number of Shares that is a multiple of ten. The exercise or conversion price and the number of Shares issuable under any of Red Eagle Mining’s outstanding stock options, restricted share units and warrants will be proportionately adjusted upon Consolidation. A letter of transmittal will be sent to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the certificates evidencing their Shares for replacement certificates. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Shares prior to the Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. The Shares and warrants will continue to be traded on the TSX under the symbols “R” and “R.WT” on a post-consolidation basis.
Financial Hardship Exemption
The Debt Retirement Transaction requires disinterested shareholder approval pursuant to the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), unless an exemption is obtained, as the Debt Retirement Transaction will involve the issuance of more than 10 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company to insiders of Red Eagle Mining, namely Orion and LMM, each of whom currently hold over 10% of the outstanding shares of Red Eagle Mining. Further, in the event that Annibale acquires in excess of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares pursuant to the Backstop, TSX policies would deem that to be a change of control requiring shareholder approval, absent an exemption. The Debt Retirement Transaction is also a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101), such that minority shareholder approval would also be required pursuant to MI 61-101, unless an exemption is available.
Red Eagle Mining is applying to the TSX for an exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the Debt Retirement Transaction and potential change of control to Annibale, based on the financial hardship exemption in Section 604(e) of the TSX Company Manual, and Red Eagle Mining plans to rely on a similar exemption from the requirements of MI 61-101. Red Eagle Mining is applying for the exemption from the shareholder approval requirement on the basis of financial hardship given that the immediacy of Red Eagle Mining’s need to address its financial difficulties through the Debt Retirement Transaction does not afford it sufficient time to hold a meeting of shareholders and on the basis that the Debt Retirement Transaction is designed to address Red Eagle Mining’s financial difficulties by retiring all of the outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facility. Management and the Board of Directors believe that the terms of the Debt Retirement Transaction are reasonable in the circumstances.
As a consequence of the Red Eagle Mining’s reliance on the financial hardship exemption under Section 604(e) of the TSX Company Manual, Red Eagle Mining expects that the TSX will commence a remedial delisting review, which is normal practice when a listed issuer seeks to rely on this exemption. Although Red Eagle Mining believes that it will be in compliance with all of the TSX listing requirements following completion of the Debt Retirement Transaction, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such review and, therefore, Red Eagle Mining’s continued qualification for listing on the TSX.
Closing is expected to occur during October 2018, subject to TSX approval.

Letter to shareholders from CEO:
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Red Eagle Mining is well on the way to overcoming the challenges faced during the first half of 2017. The primary issue was that the mine was significantly behind in development due to initial difficult ground conditions pushing the primary ramp through the saprolite during 2016. Since raising additional capital and recruiting new experienced operating personnel in August 2017 we have made immense progress. We successfully completed 6,429 metres of underground development, 21,688 metres of underground infill drilling on ten metre centres and commenced stope mining in October 2017 with the plant commencing production on January 2, 2018 and operating continually to date.
This development has given access to up to 44 active ore production faces at any time, depending on backfill and breasting cycles, allowing much more operational flexibility. Six new attack ramps are expected to be completed during Q2 which will significantly increase the number of production faces available enabling another large jump in production. Stope mining operations continued to ramp up and have increased each month since October 2017 with an average of 680 tonnes per day mined in April 2018. These additional production faces will allow mining rates to continue to increase to an estimated 900 tonnes per day in June and 1,000 tonnes per day in July, which is full designed production from the San Ramon mine.
The life of mine, mill processed grade was estimated in the feasibility study at 4.5 grams of gold per tonne. During March the ore processed had an average grade of 3.9 grams of gold per tonne. With increased experience mining the San Ramon deposit and operational improvements being implemented we expect the grade to improve to 4.5 grams of gold per tonne on average, though it will be variable day to day and month to month.
A majority of our production is currently from the wider veins near the footwall of the shear zone. Occasionally, the higher grade veins near the hanging wall are too thin to economically mine with our current equipment. Hence, two smaller loaders will be put into operation during Q3 which will permit mining of these high grade stopes with much less dilution increasing both tonnage and grade with no additional development
As tonnage and grade continue to improve, gold production is forecast to grow steadily to 4,000 to 5,000 ounces per month over the remainder of 2018.
During 2017 we studied and tested backfill alternatives. As a result of the updated ground support, drilling and blasting procedures implemented during the second half of 2017, quicker backfill cycle times and mining narrower stopes, full paste fill is not required. Rather than 100% paste fill, a layer of cemented paste fill is being injected on top of the backfill, where appropriate, to tighten fill and minimize ore loss. Instead of a fixed distribution system, the paste is piped to an underground bay where it is delivered to the stopes by truck. This alternative will result in lower capital and operating costs and more operational flexibility with a similar production profile.
Underground exploration drilling at the mine during Q1 2018 intersected high grade mineralization including 4.75 metres at 20.3 grams per tonne gold. The drilling was below the mine workings along 300 metres of strike extending the vertical extent of known gold mineralization. Mineralization is open to depth in an area with no previous drilling and outside of the mineral resource and mineral reserve.
We are very encouraged with the grassroots exploration discoveries in 2017 to the west of the Santa Rosa Mill. This area is covered in historical open pits and thousands of adits and is critical to Red Eagle Mining’s plan to develop additional mines to feed the Santa Rosa Mill Complex and fulfill our vision of increasing capacity to 2,000 tonnes per day.
Red Eagle Mining also now owns 100% of Red Eagle Exploration (formerly CB Gold) which, in addition to controlling the Vetas district in Santander, Colombia, in 2017 acquired four concessions in the neighboring California district. These properties have substantial historical drilling with very high-grade results and are adjacent to the world class La Mascota and La Bodega deposits previously owned by Ventana Gold. These two districts combined are key to the next stage of growth. The plan is to develop them concurrently with a common processing facility.
Red Eagle Mining currently has only an US $85 million market capitalization, yet it owns (i) a new US $75 million processing facility, (ii) the developed San Ramon gold mine with an eight-year mine life (open to expansion to the east and at depth) which will be in full production in July 2018, (iv) satellite discoveries on the 100% owned 100 square kilometer Santa Rosa Gold Project and (iv) 100% of the Vetas and California Gold Projects which until recently were separately listed as Red Eagle Exploration with a market capitalization of US $35 million. As production continues to increase over the coming months and the market capitalization reverts to more normal multiples, we expect this to be reflected in significant upside potential to the share price.
Over the last year the focus has been on operations and delivering on production. Over the coming months I look forward to seeing many of you at conferences and on road shows as we improve the market awareness of the huge strides we have taken at Santa Rosa. On behalf of the entire board and executive team, we are thankful for the continued support of all stakeholders in Red Eagle Mining, but especially our fellow shareholders as we have transitioned into production.

Full Year 2017 Financial Results Reported
March 28, 2018 – Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX: R, BVL: R, OTCQX: RDEMF) is pleased to announce financial and operating results for the year ending December 31, 2017. The focus for the second half of 2017 was to complete enough underground development to support sustainable production and give access to underground drill pads. This was successfully accomplished with over five kilometres of underground development and 16,000 metres of underground infill drilling being completed during 2017. This development and infill drilling facilitated stope mining to recommence in Q4 2017 and the mill to restart on January 2, 2018.
During February, the mine produced over 600 tonnes per day and the mill processed over 750 tonnes per day utilizing stockpiles (see table below). With most of the new equipment having arrived at site through February and March and the final scoops due for delivery in April the mine is planned to ramp up to 750 tonnes per day in Q2 2018. The additional underground development and infill drilling will allow consistent production resulting in an estimated 45,000 ounces of gold produced during 2018.
Exploration drilling at the San Ramon mine from underground commenced, intersecting high grade mineralization including 4.75 metres at 20.3 grams per tonne gold. The drilling was below the mine workings along 300 metres of strike between sections 856,970 E and 857,200 E extending the vertical extent of known gold mineralization. Mineralization is open to depth in an area with no previous drilling and outside of the mineral resource and mineral reserve (news release dated March 19, 2018).
Regional targets at the Santa Rosa Gold Project within five kilometres from the completed mill were drill tested for the first time resulting in multiple discoveries of parallel high-grade veins (news release dated July 10, 2017).

RED EAGLE MINING SANTA ROSA OPERATIONS UPDATE
October 10, 2017 – Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX: R, BVL: R, OTCQX: RDEMF) is pleased to provide an update on operations at the Santa Rosa Gold Project, Antioquia, Colombia.
Mine Development
Underground development at the San Ramon Gold Mine continues to advance according to plan with 592 metres in September for a total of 1,756 metres completed in the third quarter and 4,055 metres completed year-to-date. Development has been primarily focused on secondary access ramps and advancing eight attack ramps with the potential for up to 32 ore headings on levels -125, -150 and -175 metres, measured from surface. During September four of these attack ramps crossed the mineralized shear zone defining economic ore headings with channel sampling averaging 7.35 grams per tonne gold over an average stope width of 3 metres. Prior to mill startup in January 2018, Red Eagle Mining expects to have stockpiled 21,000 tonnes of development ore through December 2017.
Add-on Paste Backfill Plant
Conceptual design of the planned paste plant was finalized in September with review of the proposed conventional flow sheet, material and water balance. Construction is planned to commence during November 2017 and be completed during January 2018. Design of the underground reticulation system was completed with materials expected and underground installation to commence by the end of the month.
Geotechnical Review
A detailed geotechnical review by a third party geotechnical consultant was completed during September with very favorable results that should lead to lower drilling, blasting and ground support costs and reduced dilution.

RED EAGLE MINING REPORTS Q1 2017 FINANCIAL RESULTS
May 16, 2017 – Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX: R, BVL: R, OTCQX: RDEMF) is pleased to announce financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2017 and business highlights to date including:
Declared Commercial Production at the San Ramon Gold Mine on March 31, 2017 (news release dated April 10, 2017);
Acquired the high grade California Gold Project through Red Eagle Mining’s controlled public subsidiary Red Eagle Exploration Limited (news releases dated February 15, 2017 and March 15, 2017);
Closed bought deal equity financing of common shares with BMO Capital Markets for gross proceeds of C $17,250,000 including the entire over-allotment option (news release dated February 21, 2017);
Brian Peer was appointed General Manager of the Santa Rosa Gold Project on February 18, 2017. Mr. Peer has 31 years of mining experience including 19 years in senior management. Most recently, he was Country Manager of Mexico for Alamos Gold, responsible for the safe and efficient operations of two mines and the development of an additional two mines. Previously, Mr. Peer worked for Coeur Mining and for 10 years at Barrick Gold; and
Completed 2016 detailed ore production stope delineation drilling at the San Ramon Gold Mine. Results from the delineation drilling exceeded expectations with many intercept grades significantly higher than the reserve grade of 5.2 g/t Au. (news release dated January 17, 2017).
Operations Update
Mine Development
Underground development continues to advance well in competent granodiorite without support at an average of 16 metres per day. The main and secondary ramps have advanced 2.8 kilometres from the portal. A 57 metre vertical ventilation shaft has been completed and connected to the underground workings.
Initial poor ground conditions were encountered in the stopes, particularly close to the saprolite contact and historic workings, resulting in slower mining rates and greater dilution than planned in start-up. Accordingly, the mining method has been adjusted to include conventional along with mechanized cut and fill stoping optimizing mining the narrower high grade veins and reducing dilution. Stope lengths have been reduced to 40 metres, a paste back fill program has been tested and is being implemented and ground controls have improved to minimize dilution.
Mill
The processing facility commissioning is complete and exceeding design throughput with the capability to process up to 1,200 tonnes per day. The processing facility was batch processing lower grade stockpiles through February 2017. During March the Mill processed 763 tonnes per day. Higher grade ore was blended with lower grade stockpiles to ensure operating efficiency throughout March, moderately reducing recoveries from 93% to 90% during the month.
Safety
Operations have continued to adopt and promote best practices in safety with many awareness programs in place and monitoring occurring on a continuous basis. The results have been demonstrated in the safety statistics to date.
Social and Environmental
Red Eagle Mining continues to maintain positive relationships with and be involved with the local communities. Continuous information flow has been maintained with all stakeholders regarding the advances of the operations. Red Eagle Mining is committed to maximizing local employment and is proud to have already employed 56% of its workforce from the local municipality of Santa Rosa de Osos. Red Eagle Mining continues to strictly adhere to the terms of its Environmental License and the associated Environmental Management Plan. The Environmental Agency, along with local committees, has maintained a strict monitoring program as the project has progressed with visits at least monthly. Red Eagle Mining has received positive inspection reports from all inspections.
Outlook
Underground production crews continue to build on their expertise and efficiency. Production rates and grade continue to increase as the underground team adjusts to more controlled mining methods and additional production faces open up. The -100 and -125 metre levels, measured from surface, are currently being mined with seven ore development headings. The -150 metre level will be accessed during June with the additional faces allowing much more production flexibility.
The Mill is currently processing approximately 750 tonnes per day with planned shutdowns for routine maintenance when stockpiles are depleted. The current processing run commenced April 20 and is expected to continue through late May. With higher grade ore being processed recoveries are expected to return to 93%.
A mining stope delineation drill program is planned to commence in June and continue for the life of the mine. The 2016 drill program and underground face samples positively reconciled grade against the resource model. Exploration drilling is currently underway testing the eastern extent of the San Ramon Gold Deposit and multiple targets approximately 3 kilometres to the west of the processing facility.
Production guidance for 2017 is 30,000 to 40,000 ounces of gold.

CB GOLD (majority owned by Red Eagle Mining) ACQUIRES CONCESSIONS IN THE CALIFORNIA GOLD DISTRICT
February 15, 2017 – CB Gold Inc. (TSX-V: CBJ) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a strategic block of six exploitation mining concessions totalling 126 hectares in the prolific California-Vetas Gold District located in Santander, Colombia. The six properties, which collectively comprise the California Gold Project, are adjacent to and along strike from concessions which contain La Bodega gold deposit currently being developed by Mubadala Development. The last public NI 43-101 Technical Report for La Bodega was issued by Ventana Gold dated effective November 8, 2010 and reported an Inferred resource of 3.47M ounces of gold.[1]
One of the acquired concessions were previously optioned by Calvista Gold which conducted a nine hole diamond drill program during 2011 and 2012. These results were incorporated in a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the California Gold Project dated effective October 11, 2012 and included intercepts: [2]
Table 1: California Gold Project Drill Intersections
Hole From (m) To (m) Width (m) Au (g/t)

DDH-36 35.05 48.76 13.71 5.93
DDH-37 425.19 426.72 1.53 10.58
CB Gold plans to advance the California Gold Project toward economic feasibility by the delineation of high-grade vein resources exploitable by modern underground mining methods. This work will initially involve compiling existing data, detailed underground mapping of existing mine workings, detailed underground channel sampling, and prioritizing targets for subsequent drifting along with surface and underground diamond drilling as soon as possible.
The California Gold Project is located approximately ten kilometres from CB Gold’s existing Vetas Gold Project, potentially resulting in operational synergies including processing at a central mill.
Transaction
CB Gold has an option to purchase 100% of six exploitation mining concessions from local miners for consideration of US $5,683,764 and US $7,561,746 which is payable in shares of CB Gold. Initial payments of US $345,127 and $501,626 payable in shares of CB Gold are due upon closing. The balance of the payments are due over a two year period subsequent to title transfer. An additional payment is due three years from the date of title transfer equivalent to 1.5% of the value of gold and silver Measured and Indicated resources included in a NI 43-101 Technical Report.
About the California Gold Project
The California Gold Project comprises 126 hectares within the prolific California-Vetas Gold District, which also contains the multi-million ounce La Bodega and Angostura gold deposits. The property is located approximately 55 kilometres northeast of Bucaramanga, which is the capital of the Department of Santander in Colombia. Elevation ranges from 2,400 to 2,700 metres above sea level, far below the Paramo boundaries.
California is situated in the Santander Massif of the eastern cordillera of the Andes Mountains. The massif is comprised of Precambrian gneisses, schists, quartzites and migmatites of the Guyana Shield. Intermediate to granitic instrusives of the Santander Plutonic Group were emplaced during a period of uplift in the Jurassic/Triassic era. Porphyry instrusive stocks and dikes in the immediate areas of mineralization may be as young as Tertiary in age. Regional faulting parallels the topographic fabric with the crustal-scale northwest trending Bucaramanga-Santa Marta wrench fault and the northeast trending Rio Cucutilla fault zone defining the principal structural trends.
The gold-silver-copper mineralization in the California Gold Project is part of the same, large mineralizing system localized along a regional northeast-trending fault zone that also hosts the adjacent La Bodega deposit. Mineralization occurs in northeast, northwest and east-west striking, generally steeply north-dipping faulted structures containing high grade veins up to two metres in width. Vein mineralogy includes pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and copper sulphides, with traces of silver minerals and sometimes visible gold.
Vetas Gold Project
CB Gold has amended the acquisition agreement for the San Bartolo and San Antonio properties, which together with other properties collectively comprise the Vetas Gold Project. A portion of the properties were affected by the delineation of the Paramo boundaries and the outstanding amount payable has been adjusted accordingly. As final payment, CB Gold has agreed to issue 3,450,000 common shares and pay US $500,000 in cash with respect to the San Bartolo Property and issue 116,700 common shares with respect to the San Antonio property.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Red Eagle Mining’s Vice President of Exploration, Jeff Toohey P.Eng., who is a “Qualified Person” as defined under NI 43-101.
The transactions are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mine Development
Underground development continues to advance well. Since Q3 2016 when the decline moved through oxidized material requiring support into competent granodiorite, daily advance rates have substantially increased from 3 metres per day to 22 metres per day. The main and secondary ramps have advanced a total of 1.4 kilometres from the portal. Four 100 metre strike length stoping blocks have been opened up on the 50, 75 and 100 metre levels, including 12 ore development headings with 6 main stopes.
The 10,000 metre stope delineation drill programme completed in December, 2016 (news release dated January 17, 2017) and underground face samples have positively reconciled grade against the resource model.
Some initial poor ground conditions were encountered, particularly close to the saprolite contact, resulting in slower mining rates and modestly greater dilution than planned in startup. Accordingly, the mining method has been adjusted to conventional flat back cut and fill stoping, stope lengths have been reduced to 50 metres and ground controls are improving to minimize dilution.
Outlook
Underground production crews continue to increase their expertise and efficiency. Production rates are expected to accelerate in February and March as the underground team adjusts to more controlled stoping methods and additional production faces open up. The mine plan has 10 stopes operating in March, subsequently ramping up to full operations with 14 stopes. At any given time half the stopes will be in production at an estimated rate of 150 tonnes per day and half will be in support and filling.
Exploration drilling is currently underway testing the eastern extent of the San Ramon Gold Deposit and the Rojo target 3 kilometres to the west of the processing facility.
Commercial production of 750 tonnes per day is anticipated to be achieved by the end of Q1 2017. As at December 31, 2016, Red Eagle Mining held $4 million in cash and is managing working capital while advancing to positive cash flow in the coming months.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Red Eagle Mining’s Vice President Exploration, Jeff Toohey P.Eng., who is a “Qualified Person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

Drill assays were composited by length-weighted averaging into intersections using a 2 g/t Au cut-off grade. Due to the mining method and mining selectivity contemplated for the deposit, internal dilution was included in some intersections where considered appropriate for mining continuity.
