ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD 22 July 2024
Gold exploration to commence at Fry Lake
HIGHLIGHTS
- RMX targets areas for Gold exploration at Flicka Lake, part of the Fry Lake Project area.
- Target areas interpreted prospective for Gold based on open file data.
- Targets cover extensions to shear zones and faults including favourable geological units.
- Exploration team to conduct sampling as part of upcoming maiden exploration program.
- RMX continues to review additional assets.
Red Mountain Mining Limited ("RMX" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that it has defined priority structural targets over its four exploration licenses prospective for gold, within the Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt, Ontario, Canada. The first area for investigation is the 100% RMX owned Flicka Lake claims, the western most area in its Fry Lake Project portfolio. The structural targets focus on potential host sites for gold lode mineralisation, which is known to occur in the broader area.
The targeting is based on mapped faults, shear zones, reported basement alteration of basement and extensions to known zones of interest worked by other explorers. These promising features will be sampled by rock and soil methods by the Company's contract geologists. The Company's contractors have confirmed their availability and alongside the Red Mountain Mining team, are finalising the field program.

Background
The Fry Lake Projects are located in the Uchi region, a prolific mineral belt which has produced 32Moz Au to date1 . The Golden Patricia Mine previously operated by Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD) is located 12km North of Fry Lake.

Figure 2: Fry Lake Project in relation to the Pickle Lake and Golden Patricia gold fields and basement geology. Datum UTM NAD83 zone 15.
The four tenements are based on structural targets, reported alteration, proximity to banded iron, reported gold occurrences and porphyry intrusions. Figure 2 shows the Meen-Dempster Greenstone belt compressed between late-stage granitic intrusions and associated fault and shear zones, in particular the Fry-McVean East-West shear and associated banded iron.

Competent Person Statement
The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results and other technical information complies with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). It has been compiled and assessed under the supervision of contract geologist Mark Mitchell. Mr Mitchell is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code. Mr Mitchell consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
