Strategic Alliance
----- End of picture text -----

  • RGX announced on 30 October 2013 that it is currently in negotiations to form a strategic alliance with Rio Perdido Copper Ltd (“RPC”).

  • RPC has strong Chilean based, experienced management and operational teams and options with third parties to access significant exploration concessions and large scale operating plants as well as smaller, modularised, copper processing plants in Chile.

  • Exact form of future alliance between RGX and RPC is being negotiated and is dependent upon a due diligence process - expected to be completed in coming weeks.

Background
----- End of picture text -----

  • Alliance opportunity with RPC provides potential to fast track implementation of RGX’s Business Strategy.

  • This involves “first mover advantage” within Region IV Chile where highly fragmented mineral concession holdings have historically hampered modern systematic exploration and development of otherwise small, stand-alone, typically surficial Copper Oxide, resources which are effectively commercially “stranded”.

  • Additionally, most existing artisanal miners have neglected underlying Copper Sulphide deposits.

  • Smaller Chilean mining operators are currently experiencing an economic nadir -

  • presenting unparalleled opportunities for third parties to negotiate attractive access or purchase agreements.

  • Conversely there is currently little investor appetite for embracing the traditional exploration to production organic growth platforms. Uncertainties of timing, costs and execution risks have made instigation of large stand-alone, in-house resource based, mining operations difficult to publicly fund.

  • Acknowledging RGX’s current capital structure and ability to access funding, an alliance provides a potential fillip to access “higher shelf” opportunities - both in technical and commercial terms.

  • Nature of any formal alliance with RPC will be dependent upon the outcome of current negotiations and the due diligence process that is expected to be completed within the coming weeks.

Investment Highlights
----- End of picture text -----

  • RGX just completed a $300,000 raising from s708 sophisticated investors via the issue of 15 million new shares at 2 cents each with the assistance of DJ Carmichael Pty Ltd and Sanston Financial Group Limited.

  • Funds raised will be used to undertake necessary technical and legal due diligence associated with formation of a possible alliance as well as existing working capital.

  • RGX and RPC see significant mutual benefits will emerge from a cooperative alliance.

  • At a high level these include a strengthened pipeline of quality opportunities, including possible participation in existing revenue producing mining projects, greater funding options, strengthened negotiating and transaction capacity, strengthened skills set, exposure to greater investor base and economy of scale benefits.

Execution Strategy
----- End of picture text -----

  • Targeting IOCG deposits because of higher grades, more predictable geometry, and amenable to costeffective exploration strategies;

  • Seeking grades +>1% Cu;

  • First mover advantage, consolidation of fragmented historical concession holdings typically never subjected to modern geophysical and geological exploration;

  • Focused in areas strategically positioned with respect to Region IV with proximity to infrastructure, weather windows and logistics;

  • Strategy facilitated by established regional office at Combarbala.

Potential Benefits
----- End of picture text -----

Potential benefits of RGX -RPC alliance :

  • Significant strengthening of acreage position via new acreage access opportunities, largely centred on RGX’s existing Combarbala operational base.

  • Opportunities for fast-tracking of early revenue through existing large and smaller, modularised scale, mining projects.

  • Increased funding optionality particularly involving the introduction of “bankable”, production based, mining projects.

  • Expanded investor base via access to RPC’s shareholder base and their Chilean networks.

  • Expanded skills base via access to RPC’s network of mining sector professionals and contacts.
