Dear Shareholder
Red Mountain Mining Ltd Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the Board of Red Mountain Mining Ltd (ACN 119 568 106) ( Red Mountain or Company ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for fully paid, ordinary shares in Red Mountain ( Shares ) under a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP or Plan ).
Red Mountain is offering Shareholders whose registered address is in Australia and New Zealand as at 5:00pm (WST) on the Record Date of Tuesday, 11 August 2015 ( Eligible Shareholders ) the opportunity to subscribe under the Plan for up to A$15,000 worth of Shares (subject to scale back at Red Mountain’s absolute discretion) at an issue price that represents a 20% discount to the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of Shares over the last 5 days on which sales were recorded on the financial market operated by ASX Limited ( ASX ) immediately prior to the issue of the Shares ( Issue Price )( Offer ). The Issue Price is free of brokerage and commission.
A maximum of 355,730,603 Shares can be issued pursuant to the SPP, which would raise a maximum of $1,067,191 if priced at 0.3 cents per share, of which $600,000 is underwritten by PAC Partners Pty Limited ( Underwriter ).
The Underwriter may be issued with Shares pursuant to the Plan where one or more Eligible Shareholders fails to subscribe for the maximum number of shares available to them under the Offer. The fees payable to the Underwriter are set out on page 8.
Application for new Shares under the SPP will be made on the enclosed Application Form that will be supplied with this Offer and Shareholders may apply for Shares under the SPP at any time from Monday, 17 August 2015 to 5:00pm (WST) on 3 September 2015.
The Offer of Shares under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Class Order 09/425 and therefore does not require a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.
Use of Funds
It is intended that the funds raised from the SPP (and any shortfall that is placed) will be applied towards:
- (a) further exploration at the Company’s flagship Batangas Gold Project ( Batangas Project ) with a high impact drilling program scheduled to commence in August/September 2015;

How much can you invest?
Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for a maximum of up to A$15,000 worth of Shares under the Plan. The number of shares received will depend on the Issue Price, to be set at a 20% discount to the 5 day VWAP on the ASX prior to the issue of the Shares.

SHAREHOLDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Purpose
The Share Purchase Plan ( Plan ) offers shareholders of Red Mountain Mining Ltd ( Company ) the opportunity to apply for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ), up to a maximum of A$15,000 (when combined with any shares issued under any share purchase plan in the 12 months preceding the date of the Plan), at an issue price calculated at a 20% discount to the 5 day volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) on which sales were recorded on ASX immediately prior to the issue date of the Shares ( Issue Price ), without the need to pay brokerage costs and without the need for the Company to issue a prospectus, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company ( Directors ), in its absolute discretion, sees fit.
Offer
An Offer may, at the discretion of the Directors, be made under the Plan once a year. The maximum amount, which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive 12 month period, is A$15,000. The Directors may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Shares to be offered under the Plan and the period the Offer is available to Eligible Shareholders.
Shareholders eligible to participate in the Plan
Holders of Shares that are registered with an address in Australia or New Zealand at the relevant Record Date are eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) and may participate in the Plan. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.
If you hold Shares on behalf of persons who reside outside Australia or New Zealand, or are in the United States, you are not an Eligible Shareholder and are not entitled to participate in the Plan.
Details of how custodians, trustees and beneficiaries are treated under the Plan are provided further below.
Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these terms and conditions ( Terms and Conditions ). Offers made under the Plan are non-renounceable (i.e. Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Shares offered under the Plan).
Foreign offer restrictions
The Plan may not be released or distributed in any country other than Australia or New Zealand. The Plan does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in any other country. In particular, any securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws.

New Zealand
The Shares offered under the Plan are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand and to whom the Offer is being made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand).
This document has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand). This document is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.
How much can you invest?
Under ASIC Class Order 09/425, Eligible Shareholders may only acquire a maximum of A$15,000 worth of Shares under a share purchase plan in any 12 month period. This limitation applies even if you receive more than one Application Form, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity.
Eligible Shareholders may only participate by applying for Shares for one of the following amounts:
| Offer | Value |
|---|---|
| A | $1,500 |
| B | $3,000 |
| C | $6,000 |
| D | $9,000 |

Note: The Directors reserve the right to scale back the amount of Shares to be allotted. Accordingly the actual amount of Shares you receive under the Offer may vary in the event of oversubscription (excess money will be returned without interest).
The maximum investment any Eligible Shareholder may apply for will remain $15,000 even if a Shareholder receives more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the Shareholder has more than one holding under a separate account).

How do you apply?
If you would like to participate in the Offer, the following application and payment options are available:
(a) Application Form and Accompanying Cheque
Eligible Shareholders wishing to pay by cheque must follow the instructions on the Application Form and complete the Application Form, provide a cheque that is payable to “ Red Mountain Mining Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable” and return the completed Application Form and cheque to:
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne VIC 3001
to be received by the share registry no later than 5.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date under the Offer.
(b) Payment by BPAY®[1]
Eligible Shareholders wishing to pay by BPAY® must use the specific biller code and customer reference numbers detailed on their personalised Application Form. Any Eligible Shareholder that chooses to pay by BPAY® is deemed to represent to the Company that the amount of Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Plan, or any other arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months, does not exceed $15,000 (including joint or any other beneficial interests).
If you choose to pay via BPAY® you are not required to submit your Application Form. Your payment will not be accepted after 5:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date and no Shares will be issued to you in respect of that application. If you have multiple holdings you will have multiple BPAY® customer reference numbers. To ensure you receive your Shares under the Offer in respect of that holding, you must use the specific biller code and the customer reference number shown on each personalised Application Form when paying for any Shares that you wish to apply for in respect of that holding. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your applications, you will be deemed to have applied only for the application to which that Customer Reference Number applies and any excess amount will be refunded.
Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. You may also have your own limit on the amount that can be paid via BPAY®. It is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPAY® does not exceed your limit.
Once an application under the Plan has been made or your BPAY® payment made, it cannot be revoked.

The underwriting agreement contains customary conditions, warranties and undertakings and is subject to various termination events exercisable by the Underwriter.
The Underwriter is entitled to an underwriting fee of 6% (plus GST if applicable) of the Underwritten Amount. In the event the Underwriter places any shortfall in excess of the Underwritten Amount, a 6% (plus GST) fee will also be paid ( Placement Fee ). The Underwriter will not be entitled to an Underwriting or Placement Fee for any investors introduced by RMX, but RMX agrees to pay 1% (plus GST) fee in relation to investors introduced by RMX to cover the administration and processing costs of the underwriting/capital raising.
In addition, subject to available placement capacity, the Company has agreed to issue options to PAC Partners ( Broker Options ) at a ratio of one Broker Option for every
