ACTIVITY REVIEW

Activity during the Reporting Period was focused on the proposed acquisition of Holiday Planet, Asia Escape and Motive Travel, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals (“the Transaction”). This follows the Company's previously announced review of alternate opportunities, including those outside of its core exploration mining activities, in order to reestablish shareholder value. During the Reporting Period, the Company announced that it had signed a binding Heads of Agreement with a third travel business, Motive Travel. Subsequently, and as contemplated in each of the respective heads of agreements, Share Sale Agreements were signed with each of the three travel entities; Holiday Planet on 9 July 2014, Motive Travel on 4 August 2014, and Asia Escape on 25 August 2014. These agreements each provide for completion subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, as well as due diligence and certain other conditions precedent.

Subsequently, and as announced to the market on 22 September 2014, amended Share Sale Agreements were signed with each of Holiday Planet, Asia Escape and Motive Travel. The key changes were:

  • Agreement to extend the termination date to 31 December 2014.

  • Shareholders of Holiday Planet, Asia Escape and Motive Travel agreeing to a reduction in the up-front cash consideration to be paid by the Company to the respective vendor shareholders, from a total of $3.5 million to a total of $2.0 million.

  • In lieu of the reduction in the component of the cash consideration, the vendor shareholders of Holiday Planet, Asia Escape and Motive Travel will be issued with a total of $1.5 million in convertible notes maturing in 2 years, subject to RGX Shareholder and regulatory approvals.

  • Agreement that the proposed capital raising will be a minimum of $3 million.

  • The Company to seek Shareholder approval to consolidate its current issued capital on the basis of a ratio of 1 for 25.

The Company and the vendor shareholders have entered into these amendments believing them to be of mutual benefit.

In addition the announcement contained details of the terms by which the convertible notes will be issued to the vendor shareholders, and disclosed that DJ Carmichael would act as Lead Manager for the proposed capital raising.

Capital Raising Plans – Prospectus to be lodged shortly

As announced on 4 June 2014, and subsequently again during the Reporting Period, in order to fund the Acquisitions and to re-comply with Chapters 1 & 2 of the ASX Listing Rules (among other things), the Company intends to undertake a capital raising through the issue of a minimum of 15,000,000 shares (on a post-consolidation basis), at an issue price of $0.20 each, in order to raise at least $3 million (“Capital Raising”). As part of the offer, the Company will also be offering up to 7,500,000 options exercisable at $0.25 each (on a post-

Page 3

consolidation basis). The Company intends to accept oversubscriptions for a further 10,000,000 shares and 5,000,000 options, to raise up to a further $2 million. The Capital Raising will be completed pursuant to a full form prospectus, which the Company expects to lodge with ASIC shortly after the end of the Reporting Period.

Transaction on Track for Completion in December Quarter 2014

Activity during the Reporting Period has been almost exclusively Transaction focused, given the complexity of consolidating the three independent businesses, Holiday Planet, Asia Escape and Motive Travel, for the purposes of meeting contractual and compliance requirements for relisting. A Notice of Meeting and Independent Expert’s Report were also largely completed during the Reporting Period and subsequently lodged with ASX on 20 October 2014.

Mining Activities on Hold

Operationally the Company’s mining related field activities remained on hold during the Reporting Period. Non-essential exploration related activities in Chile and Peru remain at care and maintenance levels, with no new material expenditure commitments incurred. Red Gum’s 100% owned concessions, at Cerro Huancash, Chongos and La Negra, remain in good standing. Arrangements were made for a representative of the Company to visit with the Community de Carampoma at Cerro Huancash in early October 2014 as part of Red Gum’s on-going commitment to remain in good standing with local communities.

Safety and the Environment

No field activities were undertaken during the Reporting Period by the Company and no safety, nor environmental, issues were reported.

CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL

During the Reporting Period the Board focussed its efforts on finalising the proposed Transaction, involving Asia Escape , Holiday Planet and Motive Travel. The Company has prepared a Notice of Meeting for an EGM to be held on 27 November 2014 to consider resolutions associated with the Transaction. The Independent Expert commissioned by the Company has concluded that the relevant aspect of the Transaction (the acquisition of Holiday Planet) is fair and reasonable to Shareholders.

The Financial Year 2014 Annual Report and Notice of Meeting were prepared for Shareholders during the Reporting Period. The Annual Report was lodged with the ASX on 30 September 2014. The AGM Notice of Meeting was lodged on 24 October 2014 (Refer Subsequent Events).

A Notice for the EGM, including the Independent Expert's Report, was lodged with ASX and released to the market on 20 October 2014 (Refer Subsequent Events)

The Notice was lodged with ASX prior to the end of the Reporting Period and has been despatched to Shareholders (Refer Subsequent Events).

Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

The Company proposes to hold its Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2014. The AGM and EGM will be held at the same venue on the same day in order to provide convenience to Shareholders wishing to attend both meetings. The Annual Report was lodged with the ASX on 30 September 2014 and a Notice of Meeting was lodged with the ASX on 24 October 2014 (Refer Subsequent Events).

Future Changes in Board Composition

There were no changes in the Board Composition during the Reporting Period, although, as contemplated in the proposed November 2014 EGM agenda, resolutions will be put to Shareholders for the election of Messrs Dodson, Croy and Mason as directors, with effect on (and subject to) the Settlement Date of the Transaction. At that time Messrs Shaw and Bulseco will step down from the Board.

Reconciliation of expenditure

This is the first quarterly report for Red Gum Resources Limited for the year ending 30 June 2015.

Page 5

Red Gum Resources Limited (ASX : RGX) Appendix 5B – September 2014

Exploration and evaluation

The estimated exploration and evaluation expenditure cash flows amounted to $13,000 compared to actual expenditure of $16,000. The exploration and evaluation expenditure is as forecast.

Administration

The estimated administration expenditure cash flows included in the previous reporting period amounted to $583,000, compared to actual expenditure which amounted to $461,000. The decrease in actual expenditure was due to certain transaction related costs that have been paid in October 2014, particularly legal and professional fees. The great majority of these administration and corporate costs relate to the Transaction, and were necessary to enable the Company to progress the Transaction. The Transaction costs included preparing detailed documents for shareholder and regulatory approval, and a prospectus for the Capital Raising. The Company has also taken advantage of this process to deal with a number of complex operational and accounting issues concerning the three businesses to be acquired, and ensure that consistent accounting practices are adopted. This will enable the Company to fast track the integration of the three businesses, which will save time and money once the Transaction is implemented.

Cash at the end of the Quarter

Cash at 30 September 2014 amounted to $1,605,759.

Attached is the Appendix 5B Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period from 1 July 2014 to 30 September 2014.

Nature of Interest - Notes

  • a) The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Red Gum Resources (Peru) Pty Ltd holds 100% beneficial interest in the shares in the Central Peru Resources (“CPR”), which in turn holds 100% of the four Peruvian Projects.

  • b) In 2012 Red Gum exercised its option to acquire the 100% interest in the La Negra Project which was registered on a 100% basis on 19 July 2012.

  • c) In March 2014 the Company notified each of the individual nine concession holders that it intended to give notice of its intention to withdraw from the Option Agreements entered into in March 2013. That agreement provided that by making staged, six monthly, optional payments totalling 679.5 million Chilean pesos (A$ 1.44 million at the then exchange rate) to the owners over a 3 year period from the date of signature, the Company could earn a 100% interest. After withdrawing from those agreements the Company no longer has any financial obligations concerning the Project, nor the right to earn any interests. During the previous Reporting Period the Company sought to renegotiate terms with the concession holders. These negotiations have been put on hold, given the shift of focus of the Company’s activities.
