Operational Activities
Majada Project
The Majada Project drilling program was completed and several announcements were lodged with the ASX during the Reporting Period. As announced to the ASX on 17 September 2013, the highlights of that program, which resulted in two, new separate mineral discoveries being made, at Majada East and Majada West, were as follows:
• Drill results confirmed strong grades in Copper-Silver-Gold Discovery at Majada West, where a mineralised shear zone extends for at least 800 metres along strike, is approximately 15 metres thick and has a down-dip width of at least 150 metres.
-
Majada West mineralised target zone open in all directions and the recent discovery of new
-
outcropping zones of mineralisation also provide encouragement for an expanded mineralised footprint.
-
Drill results confirmed Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Discovery at Majada East; high grade
-
vein plus disseminated-style mineralisation identified.
-
Zones of high Molybdenum tenor identified at Majada East, reporting up to 3.0 metres grading
-
1,800 ppm Molybdenum and including a 1 m thick interval grading 2,340 ppm Molybdenum.
• Strong intersected Copper grades exceeded expectations; at Majada West intercepts up to 18 m wide grading 0.67% Copper including higher grade intervals of up to 3.0 m grading 1.72% Copper. At Majada East, intercepts up to 7.0 m grading 1.37% Copper, 0.19 g/t Gold, 2.5 g/t Silver and 139 ppm Molybdenum (including an interval of 1.15 m grading 5.54% Copper, 0.67 g/t Gold, 10.5 g/t Silver and 47 ppm Molybdenum).
About the Majada Copper‐Gold Project
The Majada Project encompasses two separate Copper-Gold mineralisation trends, totalling over 5 km in length. The Majada Copper-Gold Project is located within an established IOCG Belt of northern Chile, approximately 120 km south of La Serena in Region IV. The project consists of 587 hectares of third party exploitation mineral claims, distributed in two geographically separated areas; Majada Este (East) and Majada Oeste (West). The Majada Project is close to two significant IOCG discoveries – Manuelito and San Lorenzo. It is proximal to both power and road infrastructure and lies at relatively low altitudes (~600 m) where it is not impacted by adverse weather windows.

The Majada Copper-Gold Project is located within the IOCG Belt of northern Chile, approximately 120 kilometres south of La Serena in Region IV. Red Gum has the right to earn a 100% interest in the nine claims comprising the Project. The nine claims total 587 hectares of third party exploitation mineral claims, distributed in two geographically separated areas; Majada Este and Majada Oeste.

In addition, Red Gum has applied for new exploration claims adjoining the Majada Oeste area, totalling an additional 400 hectares. Despite numerous shallow surface workings there is no evidence of pre-existing drilling within the Majada area.

Figure 2 – 2013 Drill Results Majada West Project.
The Majada Este area , comprising five mineral claims totalling 267 hectares, contains a number of oxide pit workings coincident with the surface outcrop of a belt of intensely sheared and altered andesite volcanics, along the contact of granitic intrusive rocks located to the west. In addition, dump material from a number of small underground adits, at topographically lower levels, display strong sulphide mineralisation (including bornite and chalcopyrite).
Majada Oeste area , comprising four claims totalling 320 hectares, is located on a broad N-S brittle-ductile shear zone, mapped along the contact between granitic intrusive rocks and andesitic volcanic rocks. The distribution of artisanal workings suggests that this zone controls copper-gold mineralisation within the area. Although there has been no previous historical exploration drilling on this area it was subject to geochemical sampling, and some magnetic and induced polarisation surveying, in 1999. Surface geochemistry sampling of the oxide mineralisation, which was being exploited in the pits, reported maximum copper values up to 2.53% and maximum gold values up to 4.04 g/t (although these have not been verified). Red Gum’s geological mapping has defined a NNW-SSE striking, moderately W-dipping shear zone structure over 3.0 km of strike length.

During the Reporting Period the Company announced that it had made application for new concessions located to the northeast of Majada West. Upon grant these concessions will substantially enhance the Company’s ability to benefit from the local knowledge already gained from mapping and drilling in order to apply it to the exploration across a regionally extensive granitic intrusive, the boundaries of which are known to host significant copper mineralisation just 12 kilometres along strike to the north at Glencore’s Punitaqui mine site.

La Negra Project
In order to strengthen the long term interests of our holdings in the area, Red Gum is currently involved in the conversion of its current concessions covering La Negra exploration claims (concesiones) to exploitation claims (mesuras).
Red Gum Resources Limited (ASX : RGX) Appendix 5B – September 2013

Cerro Huancash Project
During the Reporting Period a Canadian based consulting group, mandated to undertake a formal process on behalf of the Company, completed an information memorandum. This is being circulated to interested parties in order to garner expressions of interest for their participation in the Cerro Huancash Project. As previously mentioned a range of potential outcomes is envisaged. The Company’s preference is that, should it continue to retain an interest in this Project, it does so with no requirement to contribute to short and medium term exploration goals and expenditure.
Safety and the Environment
During the Reporting Period there were no safety or environmental issues reported as a result of the Company’s activities.

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL
Corporate Activities
- ■ General Meeting of Shareholders
At an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 25 July 2013 both ordinary resolutions were carried with a show of hands. Resolution 1 related to the issue of Corporate Advisory service fee options and Resolution 2 with the issue of Underwriter’s and Broker’s fee options. Appendix 3B’s were lodged with the ASX in relation to the issue of options in accordance with these resolutions on 2 September and 5 September 2013, respectively.
■ Cancellation of Unquoted Options
As announced to the ASX on 6 August 2013, 3 million unquoted restricted options (ASX: RGXAW) with various exercise prices and expiry dates were cancelled due to the terms of issue of those options having not been met.
- ■ Annual Report and Announcement of Annual General Meeting
On 30 September 2013 the Company released its Annual Report for the 2013 Financial Year. Subsequent to the Reporting Period, on 7 October 2013 the Company issued a Notice and Information Memorandum to hold the Annual General Meeting in Adelaide on 7 November 2013.
Reconciliation of expenditure
This is the first quarterly report for Red Gum Resources Limited for the year ending 30 June 2014.
Exploration and evaluation
The estimated exploration and evaluation expenditure cash flows amounted to $255,000, and actual expenditure amounted to $428,000. The increase is due to higher exploration costs, including drilling costs, associated with the Majada Copper-Gold Project.
Administration
The estimated administration expenditure cash flows included in the previous report amounted to $150,000, actual expenditure amounted to $218,000. The increase is due to higher professional fees and travel costs.
Cash at the end of the Quarter
Cash at 30 September 2013 amounted to $99,395.
Attached is the Appendix 5B Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 September 2013.
