The entity shall discuss its long-term and short-term strategy or plan to manage its Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Red Pine is an early exploration stage  company
with emissions mainly from light passenger
vehicles, camp power generators and
contracted drill rigs.  We do not have any
production assets and as such only emit small
amounts and are diligent to maintain this
standard.  

Red Pine is in the process of developing GHG
Scope 1 emissions targets both internally and
for our contractors.
Intensity Ratio
The total amount of gross global Scope 1 GHG emissions (CO₂-e) (tonne) 1,253.412

Air Emissions
Report emissions of air pollutants that are released into the atmosphere
Emissions of carbon monoxide, reported as CO (tonne) 0.000
Red Pine is currently calculating the Emissions
of CO2 from our camp generators.  Other Air
emissions are not directly monitored as they
are negligible as the Wawa Gold Project is still
at an exploration stage in development.  

Air quality is a valued ecosystem component
because of its importance for visibility and its
effects on worker health and safety, as well as
for wildlife, vegetation, and water quality. Air
quality management focuses on prevention, as
this is the case Red Pine ensures heating and
cooking appliances are properly maintained
and ventilated, that all combustions and
fugitive emission sources are optimally
maintained, we reduce exhaust emissions by
eliminating unnecessary travel and use low
Sulphur fuels as much as possible.

Energy Management
Total energy consumed in aggregate, in gigajoules (GJ) (hydrocarbons and electricity) including the fuel types used (e.g., biomass, hydro-electric power or bioenergy) 12,879.000
Red Pine Exploration used the following fuel
types during the reporting period: Liquified
Petroleum Gas, Gasoline, Diesel and purchased
electricity.  The increase in total energy
consumed during the 2022 reporting period
was due too an increase in the exploration
activities (mainly drilling) and the completion of
our Employee Camp which the company now
tracks fuel usage for.  In 2021 staff stayed in
hotels and apartments in Wawa and which
tracking of total energy consumed was very
difficult and likely under reported.

project, so no tailings waste is currently
generated
Tailings Storage Facilities Management
Does your company manage Tailings Storage Facilities No
Disclose the approach to the development of Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (EPRPs) As the Company does not manage an active
tailings storage facility, there is no emergency
preparedness and response plan for such a
facility.
Innovation
Spending on Research, Development, and Technologies for waste management compliance and improvement Not applicable
Red Pine is an exploration company and
therefore Research & Development on waste
management is not applicable to our core
business.  We are in full compliance with the
Municipality of Wawa's waste management
permits as well as the province of
Ontario's  waste management permits.
Biodiversity
Management Plan
List the environmental and biodiversity management plan(s) implemented at active sites Red Pine Exploration is currently in the process
of completing a Mine Closure Plan ("Plan").
Under this Closure Plan we are in the
monitoring stage of Vegetation and Lake
Biodiversity.  In 2022 the closure of the Mackie
Pits was started and will be finished in
2023.  More details are below.
The current Wawa Gold Project is a brownfield
site with 8 historic gold mines on the property
dating back to the late 1800's. The Plan was in
place when Red Pine Exploration acquired the
property.  As the property is a brownfield site,
we are in the monitoring stage of Biodiversity
management which can be found in the current
Plan under the following headings:  

1. Revegetation
2. Surface and Ground Water
3. Aquatic Plant and Animal Life

The full details of these items can be viewed on
the link below, in Red Pine Exploration's
current 43-101 under section 4.4.  

During the 2022 winter months the closure of 2
older pits on Mackie Point along the shore of
Wawa Lake were remediated.  Material from
the mine site was brough in to fill the pits.  A
second set of material will be brough to the pits
in the winter of 2023 to make sure the pits are
completely covered and mounded with
material.

In 2022 Red Pine received a formal proposal to

of fuel or oil leaks on site, having stable power,
and reducing GHG emissions.   The currently
limiting factor of adding the camp to the
electrical grid is the initial capital cost.
