Red Eagle Mining Corporation commences drilling at Pavo Real

VANCOUVER, Nov. 1, 2011 - Red Eagle Mining Corporation (TSX-V: RD), is pleased to announce that a 5,000 metre diamond core drilling program has commenced at the Pavo Real gold project in Colombia. Exploration to date to determine structural controls and define initial drill targets has entailed:

- Detailed structural and geological mapping on surface and in historic adits;
- Trenching;
- Collection and analysis of 1,040 rock samples;
- Aerial magnetic and radiometric (potassic alteration) surveys; and
- Petrographic thin section study.

This initial programme consists of eight 450 holes with drill plans available on Red Eagle Mining's http://redeaglemining.com/index.php/projects/pavo-real-maps (note the correlation between structural geology and potassic alteration on the drill plans). Geological targets include broad quartz vein and veinlet systems in sedimentary host rocks and mineralised hydrothermal breccia zones. Strong radiometric potassic alteration zones coincide with mapped structural geology, historic workings and the sampling of exposures. Of the 1,040 rock samples taken to date on the property, 540 rock samples assayed over 0.1 g/t gold, averaging 4.1 g/t gold.

All preparation for drilling has been completed at site, including construction of drill pads, water supply and storage facilities, drilling support infrastructure (including core sheds and core splitting facilities), permits, surface rights access and QC/QA protocols. The Pavo Real project is easily accessed by road, four kilometres from the town of Rovira with manpower, water and power readily available. Red Eagle Mining is earning-in to 70% of Pavo Real through a joint venture with Miranda Gold Corp. (TSX-V: MAD).
