About Red Mountain Mining Limited and the Batangas Gold Project

Red Mountain Mining (ASX: RMX) is a gold exploration and development 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 include Indicated Resources of 2.97 million tonnes @ 2.4 g/t Au, 227,000 oz Au and Inferred Resources of 3.22 million tonnes @ 2.1 g/t Au, 218,000oz Au for a total of 6.19 million tonnes at 2.2 g/t Au, 444,000oz Au (ASX announcement 30 June 2014, JORC 2012). The Company is continuing exploration with the objectives of upgrading mineral resources at Batangas.

The Company announced Agreement with London backed, BVI registered, BMVL on 23 December 2014 which includes a two stage funding arrangement totalling US$5.5 million (~A$6.7 million), earning BMVL up to 50% of the currently wholly owned subsidiary, Red Mountain Mining Singapore Ltd, which is the holder of the Philippines based Batangas Gold Project assets.

Funding under the Agreement with BMVL will allow the Company to complete a DFS on the project, with initial results confirming low capital and operating costs and recovery of over 100,000 ounces of gold during the initial 5 years of the total 10 year production plan (ASX announcement 20 November 2014 and updated 23 January 2015).

Final mine development and environmental permitting submissions have been lodged with the Philippines Government (ASX announcement 3 April 2014) and are proceeding towards approval.

Other gold opportunities will be reviewed on a continuous basis.
