THUNDER BAY, ON and VALLENAR, CHILE, April 12, 2013 /CNW/ - On February 14, 2013 Red Metal Resources Ltd. (OTCBB:RMES) announced that on February 11, 2013 the Company's subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Geoactivia Spa, ("Geoactivia").  Pursuant to the MOU Geoactivia was granted the right to acquire 100% of the mining concessions group named "Perth" through the execution of a mining option purchase agreement whereby Geoactiva intends to acquire the option to earn 100% interest in the Perth property.  To earn 100%, Geoactiva will be required to make payments totaling US$1,000,000 and incur a total of US$3,500,000 in exploration expenditures over a period of four years.  The MOU permitted Geoactivia to conduct a due diligence investigation for a period of 60 days.  On April 9, 2013, Polymet agreed to extend the due diligence investigation period for an additional 30 days, therefore, the due diligence investigation period will now expire on May 12, 2013.  Unless another agreement is entered into between the parties, if Geoactivia fails to enter into the Option Agreement prior to the end of the due diligence investigation period, the right to purchase the mining concessions will expire.
