Red Eagle Exploration Limited: Files Application

VANCOUVER, March 21, 2018 - Red Eagle Exploration Limited (TSX-V:XR) (“XR”) owns 100% of the Vetas Gold Project in Santander, Colombia. During 2014, the Ministry of Environment set forth the limits of the Paramo, a high altitude wetland where mining is prohibited. This delineation included a portion of the Vetas Gold Project within the Paramo. XR has been in amicable discussions over the last year with the Ministry of Commerce and the Agency for the Defense of the State to come to an agreement on a reimbursement of up to C $40 million in costs incurred on the portion delineated within the Paramo.

XR has filed an application for arbitration under the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (“FTA”) to preserve XR’s rights under the FTA allowing the current discussions between the government and XR to continue.
