(TSX.V: RGC, US: RGCTF, FRA: RGG) (\"Redstar\" or the \"Company\") announces results from it's summer geological mapping program at the Empire Ridge Prospect (\"Empire Ridge\") which is part of the Company's 100% controlled Unga Gold Project, Alaska. The Company released results from work on the Shumagin Zone on September 15, 2016 and results from the other district targets, including Orange Mountain, are expected to be released shortly.\n\n\n \nEmpire Ridge Zone Exploration Highlights:\n\n\n \n-The exposed vein breccias at Empire Ridge are structurally, texturally and geochemically similar to breccias at Apollo and are the source of strongly anomalous gold-silver in talus and soils.\n\n\n \n-As a result of the 2016 summer field work, an ~750m long by ~250m deep panel, occurring from the surface to above sea level, remains open to exploration for oxidized gold-silver bearing quartz-adularia +/-carbonate +/- base metal vein breccias and is a significant shallow exploration target.\n\n\n \n-Select rock chip samples in 2014 from within the Apollo, Rising Sun and Empire Ridge areas returned high-grade gold and silver results with values up to 401 g/t Au and 266 g/t Ag.\n\n\n \nRedstar President & CEO, Peter Ball, commented: \"Detailed geological mapping during the summer at Empire Ridge has outlined the structural framework of exposures along strike of the historically-mined vein system at Apollo, where mining efforts from 1894 to 1906 produced ~500,000 tonnes at an average grade of ~10 g/t gold. The Company can now plan new diamond drill targets along the approximate 750m long by 250m deep panel along the Taurus Bench and Empire Ridge Zones that collectively, define the continuation of the Apollo vein system to the southwest of historic mine development stopes. This immediately presents a drill ready target, for a potential shallow, high-grade oxidized vein gold system.\"\n\n\n \nUnga Gold Project: Apollo-Sitka Trend - Historical Overview\n\n\n \nThe Empire Ridge Prospect, located along the southeast portion of Unga Island, is part of the Apollo-Sitka trend, which is one of two, partially fault-control...
