  • High grade gold intercepts below and not within the JORC resources include 61m @ 5.1g/t, 64m@ 3.5 g/t, and 26m @ 4.03g/t which give walk up drill targets to expand the known resource.

increase to 600,000 ounces at a JORC Indicated level; and (b) a scoping study is completed on the Assets that confirms that the development of a mine is economically viable, where the scoping study must have a minimum of 50% conversion of the 600,000 ounces Indicated JORC Resource to mineable reserves.

Remaining Conditions Precedent

As at today’s date, the outstanding conditions precedent to the Acquisition include:

  • Shareholder approval of Red Mountain Mining;

  • Board and executive appointments;

• Completion of the restructuring of Mindoro’s Philippines subsidiary MRL Gold Phils. Inc. whereby the assets and beneficial rights to the assets are transferred to another Mindoro subsidiary owned by Red Mountain Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd ;

  • Toronto Stock Exchange approval of the sale of Mindoro assets for shares;

•The entity which houses the projects, being Red Mountain Mining (Singapore) Pte Ltd (on a consolidated basis inclusive of their Philippines subsidiaries) having net positive working capital of at least $10,000 at the time of completion of the transaction; and

  • Red Mountain Mining preparing an Independent Expert’s Report and Independent Accountant’s Report.

The parties have agreed that the working capital requirement for Red Mountain Mining will apply as at 31 August 2012, rather than as previously agreed, and will comprise $3.8 million (plus or minus 5%).

Completion of the Acquisition is now expected to occur in late September 2012.

Updated Indicative Transaction Timeline

  • 4 September: Red Mountain Mining shareholder meeting.

  • 24 September: Complete transaction and issue of new shares to Mindoro.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the quarter end, as announced on 24 July 2012, the Company executed a binding Share Sale Agreement in relation to the Acquisition.

Further, the Company has appointed Indodrill contractors to commence drilling the high grade “feeder zone” targets under and adjacent to the current gold resources at Archangel on the Batangas Project. The initial results from this drilling program are expected in late August 2012.

The first hole in the initial program to be drilled (PDH-A) has been designed to target the existing known high grade feeder structure and potential down dip extensions. The results of this hole will be used for structural and geological interpretation for future holes.

During the quarter, the Company sought to renegotiate the financial terms and extend the option exercise timing of the Zhongqu Project Framework Agreement, whereby Red Mountain Mining had an option to acquire a 51% equity interest in the operating gold mine for US$45 million.

Whilst there was potential resource upside, Red Mountain Mining considered there to be insufficient resource potential to justify the original purchase price under the Framework Agreement and was unable to reach satisfactory agreement on an extension to the Framework Agreement to allow further negotiations.

Consequently, as announced on 24 April 2012, the Company withdrew from the Framework Agreement.

COMPANY STATUS AND OUTLOOK

The Company remains in a strong financial position, with $4.39 million in cash and no debt as at 30 June 2012, a strong technical team, and is on track to acquire a pipeline of gold projects and copper gold tenements with high exploration and resource extensions potential.

The Company has temporarily ceased its search for advanced exploration and mining projects in the greater Asian region until the Mindoro acquisition has been completed.

Red Mountain Mining continues to maintain its core strategic focus of introducing modern Australian mining techniques to underdeveloped resource projects in the Asian region.
