ARCHANGEL DRILLING (Batangas)

A 3000m drilling program of the high grade gold zones at the Kay Tanda resource located at Archangel on the Batangas Project south of Manila, commenced on the 5 August.

First drill hole KTD 191-12 intersected 26.2m @ 4.07g/t gold from 19.4m down hole including two high grade intervals of 6m @ 6.12g/t gold from 19.4m and 8.8m @ 5.36g/t gold from 36.8m down hole. These intersections are part of a broader interval of 39.25m @ 3.08g/t gold from 16.4m down hole.

Drilling has continued throughout the quarter and it is envisaged that the program will continue unabated into 2013.

At quarter end, Mindoro, on behalf of Red Mountain, had completed 6 structurally orientated holes at Archangel. Further results will be released as they become available. A full table of results to quarter end are in Table 1 below.

A revised geological model has been developed based on the results of drilling to date, as shown in the diagram below. Three styles of gold mineralization are interpreted within the Kay Tanda resource area:

i) silica replacement / stockwork lithocap: low grade gold mineralization, variably preserved, at the top of the Kay Tanda resource (released by Mindoro March 2010).

ii) hydrothermal breccia / stockwork "upflow" zones: carrying both low-grade stockwork that forms the bulk of the Kay Tanda resource, and higher-grade vein-breccia gold and silver mineralization as intersected by KTD 191-12 and KTD 193- 12. Occurs within and below the broader envelope of silica replacement/stockwork.

iii) hydrothermal breccia – quartz base metal veins projecting to potential high-grade "feeder" targets: high-grade gold with base metal veining (Pb-Zn-Cu) as intersected in KTDH04, and tested by KTD 192-12. Interpreted to link to high-grade gold and base metal feeder targets on the flanks of an interpreted domed volcanics-intrusive boundary underlying the Kay Tanda resource.
