ASX ANNOUNCEMENT RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD (ASX:RMX) 30 April 2014

NEW HIGH GRADE TRENCH INTERSECTION EXTENDS SOUTH WEST BRECCIA
-
New South West Breccia intersection of 5.0m @ 7.15 g/t gold, including 2.0m @ 10.2 g/t gold
-
Drilling tests near surface and down plunge extensions of South West Breccia, results to come
Perth-based Red Mountain Mining received the first results from a renewed focus on its South West Breccia (SWB) shoot, at the Lobo Prospect within the Batangas Gold Project in the Philippines.
The new trenching intersected the SWB lode northeast of an interpreted offsetting normal fault, previously interpreted to cut off the lode, producing an intersection of:
Trench 27: 5.0m @ 7.15 g/t gold (Au) including 2.0m @ 10.2 g/t Au.
The lode is still visible within the trench to the northwest, with the last 2.0m grading 10.2 g/t Au. The trench is currently being extended to determine the extent of the lode across strike, and a second trench (Trench 26) is in progress, immediately to the northeast along strike, with further results to come (see Figure 1, plan of trenching at SWB).
The high grade trenching result opens up potential to locate extensions of the SWB shoot to the northeast of the current resource (Indicated and Inferred Resource: 194,000t @ 7.2 g/t Au , JORC 2004, released 30 January 2013). Additional trenching will be completed before further drilling is planned in this area.
Drilling is currently testing the near surface SWB resource for metallurgical samples and the down plunge extensions of the SWB shoot for deeper targeting. Three drillholes (LB108, LB109 and LB110-Figure 1) have been completed to date, all of which have intersected the mineralised lode structure, with results to come.
The Company anticipates that a resource upgrade to comply with JORC 2012 will be finalised upon completion of the current trenching and drilling program, including any shallow testing under the new trenching intersection(s).
Red Mountain Managing Director Jon Dugdale said, “This new, high grade, trenching result is in an area where the lode had not previously been intersected, and opens up the potential to extend the SWB resource in that direction. A second trench is in progress to extend the lode further to the northeast.
“The trenching program, and drilling in progress, will better define and potentially extend the very high grade, outcropping, South West Breccia resource”, Mr Dugdale added.

About the Lobo Project
Surface trench channel sampling and drilling conducted by Red Mountain has intersected high-grade epithermal gold mineralisation in five areas on the Lobo Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA” – Philippines equivalent to a Mining Lease), namely SWB, Pica, Japanese Tunnel, West Drift and Ulupong (see Figure 2 below).
Mineral Resources have been defined for the SWB shoot, totaling Indicated and Inferred 194,000t @ 7.2 g/t gold for 45,000 ounces of gold. This includes an Indicated Resource of 178,000t @ 7.4 g/t Au for 42,000 oz Au and an Inferred Resource of 16,000 t @ 5.3 g/t Au for 3,000 oz Au (30 January 2013, JORC 2004).
The Company is focussed on increasing high grade mineral resources through discovery of new, high grade, gold zones at Lobo. Drilling is in progress testing under recent, exceptionally high-grade gold trenching results from within the 500m long SWB Lode south corridor on the Lobo MPSA including Trench 7; 2m @ 31.1 g/t Au, Trench 13; 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au (ASX release 7 January 2014,) and Trench 19; 8.35m @ 18.3 g/t Au and Trench 21; 6m @ 31.2 g/t Au (ASX release 12 February 2014,), Figure 2 below.
Exploration Targets have been defined for the SWB, Japanese Tunnel and Pica prospects and a continuous program of soil sampling, mapping, surface trenching and drilling continues with the objective of defining additional high-grade Mineral Resources on the Lobo Prospect.

About Red Mountain Mining Limited and the Batangas Gold Project
Red Mountain Mining (ASX: RMX) is primarily a gold explorer and project acquisition company which listed on the ASX in September 2011. The Company’s strategy is to unlock the potential of ‘under-developed’ gold and polymetallic projects in the greater Asian region by introducing Australian exploration and mining methods and improving efficiencies to gain significant exploration and production upside.
The Company holds a 100% direct and indirect contractual right interest in tenements in the Philippines that contain significant gold resources. Total Mineral Resources at Batangas, at a 0.85 g/t Au lower cut off, include Indicated Resources of 2.76 million tonnes @ 2.3 g/t Au, 208,000 oz Au and Inferred Resources of 3.02 million tonnes @ 2.1 g/t Au, 200,000oz Au for a total of 5.78 million tonnes at 2.2 g/t Au, 408,000oz Au (30 January 2013, JORC 2004).
The Company will continue exploration with the objectives of upgrading Mineral Resources at Batangas.
A Scoping Study (released 20 March 2014) has demonstrated a strongly viable, low capital and operating cost, gold development based on initially recovering 90,000oz of gold over 4.5 years. The Company has committed to completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) by December 2014.
Final permitting submissions have completed and lodged with the Philippines Government for approval to develop the Batangas Gold Project.
Other gold opportunities will be reviewed on a continuous basis.
Cautionary Statement
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement is based on lower-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources (that represent 10% of the mining inventory in the Scoping Study) and there is no certainly that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. There is no certainty that the Scoping Study production targets or the forecast financial information derived from production targets, will be realised. All material assumptions underpinning the production targets and forecast financial information derived from the production targets, full details of which were released to ASX on 20 March 2014, continue to apply and have not materially changed.
