WHITEHORSE, Nov. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - Redtail Metals Corp. (TSX-V: RTZ) (the "Company") is pleased to announce its 100% unencumbered interest in the Marg Deposit following completion of the final payment required under the purchase agreement (announced on April 18, 2011). The Marg polymetallic VMS (volcanic massive sulphide) deposit hosts an NI 43-101 compliant Indicated Resource of 3.96 Mt of 1.57% Cu, 1.92% Pb, 3.90% Zn, 49.40 g/t Ag, and 0.79 g/t Au, along with an Inferred Resource of 7.78 Mt of 1.12% Cu, 1.36% Pb, 2.89% Zn, 34.88 g/t Ag, and 0.52 g/t Au (Burgoyne, A.A., and Giroux, G., 2011)

Corporate Update
Redtail Metals is focused on identifying, acquiring, and developing high quality base metal projects with significant precious metal credits in the Yukon Territory. The company holds a 100% interest in the Marg VMS deposit, the Clear Lake SEDEX deposit, the Matt Berry SEDEX project and the R15 VMS project.  Both the Marg and Clear Lake deposits have current NI 43-101 resource estimates whereas the R15 project, the newest discovery in the district, is currently being advanced with the Company's initial diamond drill program having just been completed.  Results are anticipated in the coming weeks.

R15 Project
The R15 Project, Redtail Metals' newest property, is located in the prolific Finlayson Lake VMS District in the southeastern Yukon. The Finlayson Lake District hosts a number of significant VMS deposits including the currently producing lead-zinc-silver Wolverine mine along with the Kudz Ze Kayah, GP4F, Ice and Fyre Lake Deposits.

The R15 Property was originally discovered in 2004 by Teck Cominco and the mineralized horizon was intersected in 5 diamond drill holes. Highlights of the 2004 drilling include: drill hole R04-006 which intersected 3.4m of 15.84% Zn, 7.09% Pb, 0.2% Cu, 68 g/t Ag, 0.268 g/t Au (MacRobbie et al, 2004). The R15 mineralization is adjacent to and along strike with the GP4F deposit with an estimated 1.5 million tonnes at 6.4% Zn, 3.1% Pb, 2 g/t Au, 90 g/t Ag (Peter, et al., 2007).

Marg Project
The Marg Project is located approximately 45km east-northeast along a winter road accessible from the town of Mayo.  The current NI-43-101 compliant resource estimate is detailed in the table below. The deposit is open to expansion down plunge to the east, down dip to the south, and along strike to the west. The property covers a number of significant untested exploration targets with excellent geochemical and geophysical signatures in favorable stratigraphy.

Clear Lake Project
The Clear Lake Project is located approximately 75km east-southeast of Pelly Crossing and consists of the lead-zinc-silver SEDEX (Sedimentary Exhalative) deposit with an Inferred Resource detailed in the table below. The deposit is open at depth and potentially open to the west. The property covers multiple significant exploration targets which are outlined by geophysical anomalies consistent with the signature of the Clear Lake Deposit. Highlights of the historical drill intersections include: 18.3% Zn, 2.15% Pb and 58.6 g/t Ag over 13 m and 13.29% Zn, 2.12% Pb and 37.4 g/t Ag over 33.5 m

Exploration Properties
The company holds a number of exploration properties including the Matt Berry Project which has a historical resource estimate between 300,000 and 500,000 tons (depending on dilution) at an average grade of 9.12% Pb, 6.25% Zn, 148.46 g/t Ag, and 0.38% Sb (Prairie, 1969). This resource estimate is historical in nature and should not be relied upon. Redtail Metals has not completed sufficient work to evaluate this resource and is treating it as an exploration target.  The company also holds the Lucky Joe copper-gold project in the White Gold District of the Yukon as well as the Babine copper-gold porphyry in British Columbia.  Redtail is actively seeking partners or potential purchasers for a number of non-core assets in the Yukon and British Columbia.

Resignation of John Legg as President and Relocation of Head Office
The Company also announces that John W. Legg has resigned as the Company's President.  The Company wishes to thank Mr. Legg for his service and wishes him great success in future endeavours.  In connection with the change in management, the Company will relocate its head office from Vancouver, British Columbia to Whitehorse, Yukon. This relocation of operations will result in significant reduction of continuing general and administrative costs while allowing the Company to focus on its Yukon exploration property portfolio, including its R15 and Marg projects.
