VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 8, 2013) -
Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX
VENTURE:RD)(OTCQX:RDEMF) is pleased to announce that
results of recent surface rock channel sampling at the Pavo Real
Gold Project located in Colombia have identified a new area of
mineralisation. Highlights include 33.7 grams gold per tonne,
greater than 100 grams silver per tonne, 0.23% copper and 0.23%
zinc over 0.50 metres and are presented in Table 1 below.

The current exploration campaign is targeting the potential for
large Au-bearing breccia bodies and the potential for related
porphyry Au systems at depth. This most recent rock channel
sampling programme was carried out in an area of high-level vein
and hydrothermal breccia mineralisation associated with dykes of
rhyodacite porphyry, where MMI soil sampling returned strong
coincident Au, Ag and Cu anomalies. Highlights of relatively
shallow drilling adjacent to this target area in 2012 included 7.1
metres averaging 1.54 g/t Au and 0.54 metres averaging 9.37 g/t Au
in two separate drill holes (news release dated July 6, 2012). This
initial 2012 drill programme, conducted prior to the MMI soil
sampling, was designed to determine structural controls to quartz
vein and veinlet systems in sedimentary host rocks and hydrothermal
breccias, and did not effectively test the MMI anomalies nor the
potential for deeper porphyry Au mineralisation.
The 14,370 hectare Pavo Real Gold Project consists of 100% owned
concessions and a joint-venture with Miranda Gold Corp. (TSX
VENTURE:MAD) which Red Eagle Mining is currently earning-in to 70%.
Pavo Real is located within the mid-Cauca gold belt, which is host
to numerous porphyry and epithermal gold deposits. The Project is
host to a Triassic-Jurassic sedimentary sequence made up of
sandstones, siltstones, conglomerates, shales and limestones,
overlain by a volcanic sequence of tuffs, agglomerates, and lavas.
The sedimentary and volcanic sequences are intruded by various
bodies of diorite, granite and rhyodacite porphyry, and cut by
hydrothermal breccias and a large number of quartz veins and
veinlet stockworks, all related to sericitic alteration. Red Eagle
Mining is exploring a number of significant Au-bearing breccia,
skarn and vein targets spread over a broad area at Pavo Real, with
an emphasis on testing the potential for related porphyry Au
systems. The Project is situated within the Department of Tolima,
20 kilometres south of the city of Ibague and 45 kilometres
south-east of AngloGold Ashanti's La Colosa project (26.8 million
ounce Inferred Resource grading 0.92 g/t Au).
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

production but until recently limited modern exploration. Red Eagle
Mining is developing the 320 km? historic Santa Rosa Gold Project
located in the Antioquia Batholith. Development will initially
commence with the San Ramon deposit where a positive Preliminary
Economic Assessment supports project advancement. Feasibility and
permitting are currently underway.
