• LARGE SULPHIDIC MINERAL SYSTEM INTERPRETED AT CERRO HUANCASH - The IP survey, when integrated with the geological mapping and geochemical sampling reported in the previous quarter, underpins the Company’s interpretation of a concealed, large scale, sulphidic mineral system at Cerro Huancash, focused along the district-scale “Ariana Corridor”. Cerro Huancash has very good discovery potential for a significant base and precious metal system at economic depths. The Company is rapidly working towards the development of drill targets and environmental permitting.

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES - PERU
Operational activities at Cerro Huancash during the Reporting Period can be broken down into a number of components:
Logistics
Senior Geologist Mr. Angel Rosas and Field Technician Mr. Julio Calderon continued to manage logistical and community aspects of the surface exploration program at Cerro Huancash, based out of the capital (Lima). A one year renewable community land access agreement previously signed by the Company with the local community on 1 June 2012 continues to be honoured by both parties, and the Cerro Huancash surface exploration program has continued without issues during the Reporting Period.
Field Geological Mapping
During the Reporting Period, digital compilation was completed of the 1:5,000 geological mapping, completed during August 2012 over the whole area of the Cerro Huancash Project.
Surface Rock Chip Geochemistry
During the Reporting Period, the digital database was updated with the complete results of the surface geochemical sampling program (96 rock samples) completed during the previous quarter. The program encountered high grade base and precious metal mineralisation from old workings hosted by discontinuous skarn outcrops over a +1.2 x 0.4 kilometre area. Highlights included:
-
Zinc assays up to 19.0%, lead up to 17.75%, copper up to 0.89%, with 17 (41%) of the samples reporting >1% of zinc or lead (or both);
-
Silver assays up to 2,460 g/t, with 12 (29%) of the samples reporting >100 g/t silver and 5 samples reporting >500 g/t silver;
-
Gold assays up to 0.74 g/t, with 15 (37%) reporting >0.1 g/t gold;
Ground Magnetics
During the previous quarter Fugro Ground Geophysics, a leading Australian-based geophysical contractor with international operations and offices in five countries, conducted a ground magnetics survey consisting of approximately 75 line kilometres acquired along ENE-WSW oriented lines spaced 200 metres apart. During the Reporting Period, the results of the inversion modeling of these data have been integrated into the digital database.
Appendix 5B Page | 4
==> picture [82 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Induced Polarization
During the Reporting Period, an Induced Polarisation survey was carried out for the Company by the Peruvian subsidiary of Fugro Ground Geophysics,.
The IP pole-dipole survey consisted of 10.1 line kilometres of 100 metre ‘a’ dipole spacing, n=1 to 10, in 8 lines. GPS readings for each station were acquired using a hand-held GPS receiver. Fugro utilised an Iris Instruments ElectroPro IP receiver for data collection, and an Elliot, Huntec or Edimel transmitter with compatible motor generator for signal generation. Inversion sections for each line have been generated using the Res2Dinv software, and these can be interpreted in a more direct way as geological sections.
As reported in a ASX releases dated 19 November, 23 November and 20 December 2012, the IP results are very positive for the overall prospectivity of the project.
Highly chargeable zones are well developed and consistent over kilometric scale along the strike of the Ariana Corridor. Figure 1 shows the location of the IP lines and Figure 2 clearly conveys this consistency in the form of stacked sectional depictions of chargeability.

Figure 2: 3D Chargeability inversion sectional depictions, Cerro Huancash geophysical survey. Top figure is looking towards the southwest; bottom figure is looking towards the northeast. Anomaly colour scale is the same as Figure 3 below.
In addition to the zones of high chargeability only, Fugro’s final technical report on the survey has also drawn the Company’s attention to the zones of combined high chargeability and high resistivity. Figure 3 shows examples of a number of combined high chargeability/high resistivity features on Line 28000.
Appendix 5B Page | 6
==> picture [82 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
The spatial variations in chargeability and resistivity most likely reflect a large sulphidic mineral system whose physical properties vary from place to place, partly determined by differing mineralogic combinations and by variable amounts of fracturing. The highly resistive and highly chargeable zones possibly map zones of silica stockworking with disseminated sulphides, i.e. a potential mineralized porphyry stock/s. As noted in the ASX release dated 19 November 2012, the cross-cutting geometry of some of these zones is consistent with such an “intrusive stock” model. In contrast, many of the lower resistivity zones probably reflect more permeable rocks, induced by faulting and fracturing along the mineralized Ariana Corridor.

Data Integration and Interpretation
As detailed above, the digital compilation and integration of the various datasets has now been completed, and they underpin the Company’s interpretation of the existence of a concealed, large scale, sulphidic mineral system at Cerro Huancash.
Geological mapping has defined a 400 metre-wide, NNW-SSE striking belt of faulting that juxtaposes slices of sporadically mineralised, skarn-altered limestones in the east against intermediate intrusive rocks and volcanics to the west. This belt is interpreted as the extension of the district-scale “Ariana Corridor”, a belt of faulting and mineralisation which strikes through Cerro Huancash and into adjacent properties. The Ariana Corridor an emerging new polymetallic trend in central Peru.
Significantly, the mapping has confirmed the importance of dioritic intrusive stocks as probable important drivers of the metalliferous skarn and replacement mineralisation present on the project. High grade base and precious metal mineralisation has been shown to occur in irregular and discontinuous bodies of sulphidic skarn cutting marble-limestone of the Jumasha Formation, many of which have been the subject of historical small scale surface exploitation. The rich surface mineralisation is interpreted as being part of a larger mineral system developed along the “Ariana Corridor”, The strongly mineralised outcrops located to date potentially represent the surface expression of a possible voluminous skarn/replacement/porphyry polymetallic target at depth and it is important to note that this segment of the Ariana Corridor has never been drilled.
There are important correlations between the surface geology, and the strong geochemical and geophysical responses defined from the recently completed surface magnetic and IP surveys. The inverse magnetic modeling of the ground magnetic data outlined a number of irregular and crosscutting magnetic zones that most likely relate to prospective skarn alteration around the regional faults and probable subsurface intrusive stocks. The IP data shows a strong correlation between the surface sulphide mineralization and underlying highly chargeable (sulphidic) zones, developed along fault systems within the Ariana Corridor. In addition, the IP survey has highlighted the existence of highly chargeable zones corresponding with highly resistive zones (possible silica), augmenting the case for the existence of a concealed porphyry system (in addition to high grade skarn and replacement styles already demonstrated on surface).
The collective results support the Company’s belief that Cerro Huancash has the potential to host significant volumes of high grade base and precious metal mineralisation at at economic depths. The Company is rapidly working towards the development of drill targets based on these results.
FUTURE ACTIVITIES
During the coming Quarter the Company intends to undertake the following operational activities in Cerro Hauncash:
-
Environmental Permitting required to conduct a future drilling program.
-
Definition of drill targets.

About the Cerro Huancash Project
Red Gum’s 100% owned Cerro Huancash Project consists of an exploration claim covering an area of 575.6 hectares. It is located approximately 45 km west of smelting facilities at La Oroya and 20 km north-northwest of Glencore’s Casapalca Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine. Cerro Huancash is readily accessible on a year round basis from the capital Lima, located 100 km to the southwest, via the Central Highway.
Previous exploration in the Cerro Huancash area revealed frequent occurrences of iron-stained gossans and mineralised float containing banded base metal sulphides over 8 km of strike length. Red Gum’s Cerro Huancash claim covers over 3 km of this highly prospective belt and given its close proximity to major mining operations at Morococha and Casapalca, this mineralised trend has been heavily targeted by exploration companies.
Geochemical assays of surface samples collected by Red Gum from Cerro Huancash have reported high grades of precious and base metals, confirming historical surface metal grades previously reported. In addition, the Company’s recently completed ground magnetic and IP surveys have identified a number of strong anomalies potentially associated with economic skarn-, replacementand porphyry-style base/precious metal mineralisation.
In recent years, Southern Peaks Mining (a private company), has completed extensive drilling immediately north on their 'Ariana' property. Given that Southern Peaks has recently made known in the public domain that significant mineralised resources exist at their Ariana Norte and Ariana Sur prospects, Red Gum has placed a high priority on further exploration at Cerro Huancash.
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES - CHILE
Operational activities in Chile during the Reporting Period were as follows:
Evaluation of new Copper-Gold Opportunities in Region IV of Chile
As part of the Company’s strategy of balancing its commodity mix in favour of copper and gold, efforts are being focussed on identifying new copper-gold opportunities that will feed the Company’s project pipeline into the future. An emphasis is being placed on projects with good infrastructure and proximity to existing processing operations, to take advantage of potential operational and infrastructural synergies.
The Company’s field base at Combarbala in Region IV has served as a springboard for active project generation operations and the Company’s personnel have reviewed a considerable number of third party exploration projects during the Reporting Period.
Potential Acquisition of the Majada Copper-Gold Project
The Majada Copper-Gold Project consists of 587 hectares located in the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) Belt of northern Chile and is located 120 kilometres south of La Serena in Region IV (Figure 4). Majada represents the first new project to be potentially acquired as the continuation of the Company’s corporate strategy of balancing its commodity mix in favour of copper and gold.
Appendix 5B Page | 9
==> picture [82 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
As outlined in the ASX release dated 19 November 2012, the Company has entered into eight separate letter agreements (Letters of Intent, “LOIs”) with a number of private individuals for an option to acquire the project. Under the terms of the LOIs Red Gum has 60 days to decide whether to execute formal purchase agreements (“Option Agreements”) between the respective mineral claim holders (“Owners”) and acquire 100% of the Majada Copper-Gold project. If Red Gum were to decide to execute the Option Agreements, the Company would acquire 100% interest to acquire the Project over three years by making staged cash payments to the Owners.
The Majada Project encompasses two separate Copper-Gold mineralised trends totalling over 5 kilometres in length. Numerous historical oxide pits and workings previously exploited IOCG-style Copper-Gold mineralisation along the mineralised trends, with previous sampling reporting values in excess of 1% Copper and 1 g/t Gold (Figures 5 and 6). The presence of strong bornite and chalcopyrite mineralisation in a number of old underground workings suggests that the oxide mineralisation exposed at surface passes downwards into largely unexploited Copper sulphides. There is no evidence of previous drilling and limited pre-existing geophysical data completed by a reputable contractor further supports the existence of sulphide mineralisation beneath the surficial oxides.
The transaction remains subject to the completion of legal and technical due diligence, and to formal legal documentation.

Status of La Negra Project
Red Gum’s 2,522 metre drilling program conducted at the Company’s 100% La Negra Polymetallic Project in northern Chile during 2012 discovered strong breccia-hosted polymetallic mineralisation (Zinc, Lead, Copper, Silver, Gold) over broad intervals and at relatively shallow depths, potentially accessible to open pit exploitation. Zones up to several tens of metres wide of lower grade mineralization (1-3% combined zinc+lead+copper) were found to be interspersed with intermittent, metres-wide intervals of higher grade (7-21% combined zinc+lead+copper) and the strike length of the prospective breccia unit has been extended to over 1300 metres. The drilling to date has been quite widely spaced, but restricted to only about 1/3 of the strike length of the breccia zone, giving the project considerable scope for volume expansion.
Coupled with the favourable metallurgy of the sulphide mineralogy reported in an ASX release dated 13 August 2012, the Company remains very optimistic about the potential of the La Negra Project.
Appendix 5B Page | 11
==> picture [82 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Management is now actively seeking to find a partner to explore La Negra. In the meantime, the Company continues to maintain a good relationship with the local community, through its staff based at the nearby Combarbala field office.
FUTURE ACTIVITIES
Future activities planned for Chile include:
-
Completion of due diligence of the Majada Copper-Gold Opportunity. Once all legal documentation has been submitted, the Company will be in a better position to assess all relevant aspects before taking the decision on whether or not to sign the binding Option Agreements.
-
Continuation of evaluation and prioritization of Copper-Gold opportunities in Region IV
-
Continuation of efforts to find a partner to further drill explore La Negra.
About the Majada Copper-Gold Project
The Majada Copper-Gold Project is located within the IOCG Belt of northern Chile, approximately 120 kilometres 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 and Majada Oeste. In addition, Red Gum has applied for new exploration claims adjoining the Majada Oeste area, totaling an additional 400 hectares, which will provide a buffer area in which the Company can evaluate the potential for additional extensions. Despite numerous shallow surface workings there is no evidence of pre-existing drilling within the Majada Oeste area.
The Majada Este area, comprising five mineral claims totaling 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 with a belt of granitic intrusive rocks located to the west. In addition, dump material from a number of small underground adits at topographically lower levels displays strong sulphide mineralisation (including bornite and chalcopyrite).
At Majada Oeste, comprising four claims totaling 320 hectares, a broad N-S brittle-ductile shear zone, developed along the contact between granitic intrusive rocks and andesitic volcanic rocks, controls a number of significant copper-gold pits and diggings. Previous historical exploration by a public mining company in 1999 included geochemical sampling, plus magnetic and induced polarisation surveying. 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 (N.B. results yet to be validated by Red Gum). The geophysics surveying mapped a N-S striking, moderately W- dipping structure over 2.1 kilometres long and approximately 100-200 metres wide, accompanied by a strong chargeability and low resistivity IP response. The latter possibly suggests the presence of sulphide mineralisation at depth beneath the oxide zone, supported by the presence of disseminated sulphides in dump material around an old mine shaft.

About the La Negra Project
The La Negra Lead-Zinc-Silver (Copper-Gold) Project is located within Region IV in Chile, approximately 360 kilometres NNE of the capital, Santiago and approximately 10 kilometres ENE of the mining town of Combarbalá. After choosing to exercise a purchase option from the owners in July 2012, Red Gum now possesses 100% ownership of the property, which comprises 11 separate mining and exploration concessions totaling approximately 2,600 hectares.
The La Negra property has a long history, dating back to colonial times, of sourcing high grade leadzinc-silver material. Modern day geochemical sampling verified the surface and subsurface continuity of high metal grades (zinc, lead, silver, copper, gold) over significant widths within the old workings.
Previous surface geochemistry defined a strong northerly trending (“principal”) zinc-lead-silver-gold anomaly, 1300 metre long by +400 metre wide, broadly corresponding with outcropping tourmalinebearing hydrothermal breccias that host the old workings. Strong silver, copper and gold values are concentrated in the soils of the northern segment of this principal anomaly. These, and other geochemical anomalies, are underlain by large chargeability anomalies defined in the geophysics.
During 2012, Red Gum completed a 2,522 metre drilling program at La Negra and results are reported in various previous ASX releases.
CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL
Reconciliation of expenditure
