Red Eagle Mining commmences drilling at Santa Rosa

VANCOUVER, Sept. 8, 2011 - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX-V: RD), is pleased to announce that Cabo Drilling Corp. (TSX-V: CBE) has commenced a 20,000 metre diamond core drilling program with two rigs at Red Eagle Mining's Santa Rosa project in Colombia. A minimum of 10,000 metres is expected to be completed during 2011.

The initial target is in the south east sector of the property. Here, high grade veins and stockwork systems have been traced for over two kilometres along strike and up to 30 metres in width. This trend is coincident with historic workings, high potassic alteration, anomalous aerial magnetics, IP and surface geochemistry. Results from the initial stage are expected early in the fourth quarter.
