Red Metal Resources receives confirmation of option payment for Perth Property

THUNDER BAY, ON, May 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Red Metal Resources Ltd. (RMES:OTCBB) ("Red Metal") is pleased to announce that it has received confirmation that Geoactiva SPA ("Geoactiva") will be continuing its option on the Perth Project.  The April 30^th payment for the Perth project is US$50,000. We have also received results of the trenching, sampling and drilling program completed on the Perth project and expect to analyze the results for release in the next few weeks.

To earn 100%, Geoactiva will be required to make further payments totaling US$875,000 and incur a further US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next three years. 

Red Metal's Chilean subsidiary, Polymet Ltda, will retain a 1.5% net smelter royalty for all copper, gold and cobalt exploited on the property derived from the minerals extracted as a result of the exploitation of the property.  Geoactiva may acquire 100% of the NSR once the option agreement is completed by paying in one installment US$5.00 per inferred ounce of gold and US$0.005 per inferred pound of copper in a resource estimate compliant with CIM standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and completed by an independent third party agreed upon by Polymet and Geoactiva.

Geoactiva is a part of Mineria Activa, a private equity group focused on mining in Chile.  The Mineria Activa group manages projects from exploration to production stage using their in-house team of geologists and mining engineers. 

Red Metal CEO Caitlin Jeffs stated, "We are excited that Geoactiva will continue to advance the Perth Project. Geoactiva's work shows also the potential of our Farellon project which lies next to the Perth Project."
