September Quarter 2014 Activities and Cashflow Report

HIGHLIGHTS

Development Strategy

Red Mountain Mining Ltd (“the Company”) continued progress towards its key milestone of completing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and Permitting for the proposed Batangas Gold Project mine development based on existing, high grade gold resources.

The DFS is approximately 50% complete. Highlights of the DFS to date include significantly improved metallurgical recovery for the Kay Tanda West (KTW) Indicated Resource and a revised preliminary production schedule, based only on Indicated Resources, indicating longer mine life and increased production relative to the Scoping Study (released 20 March 2014). The revised, initial mining inventory is: 1.1 million tonnes grading 3.0 g/t Au and 10.3 g/t Ag, yielding 100,000oz of gold over 5.5 years.

Cautionary Statement: The Scoping Study referred to in this report is based on low level technical and economic assessments and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised. The Scoping Study is partly based on Inferred Resources that comprise less than 10% of the total mining inventory. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration will result in the conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target will be realised.

Exploration Results

The Company prioritised 5 new gold and silver-copper-gold exploration targets at its Lobo Prospect (see Figure 2), following a detailed exploration target review for the entire Batangas Project.

Surface channel sampling and an 8 hole drilling program tested the high priority Camo target, 2 kilometres northeast along strike from the South West Breccia (SWB) resource on the Lobo Prospect.

The drilling and channel sampling defined a shallow northeast plunging zone of silver with copper and gold mineralisation over a 125 metre strike length and to a maximum 100 metres vertical depth.

Best intersections from this drilling and channel sampling program included:

  • LB 119: 5.5m @ 200 g/t Ag, 0.25 g/t Au, 0.65% Cu, 1.25% Pb + Zn from 27.5 metres including 2.5m @ 418 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au, 1.28% Cu, 2.6% Pb + Zn (ASX release 2 October 2014) and,

  • Trench C1-14 of 4m @ 379 g/t Ag, 2.0 g/t Au and 0.62% Cu (ASX release 25 August 2014).

The mineralisation is open down plunge to the northeast towards a second, gold-silver soil anomaly, “Anomaly 2”, where exploration continues with the objective of defining a deeper high-grade gold target (see plan Figure 3 and longitudinal projection Figure 4).

Surface channel sampling from Lumbangan Ridge, near the Archangel Prospect, produced high grade silver-gold results to LUM 5: 4m @ 372 g/t Ag, 2.2 g/t Au , including 1m @ 1,415 g/t Ag, 8.0 g/t Au (ASX release 6 October 2014).

  • The Company had $1.13 million cash and no debt at the end of the quarter.

BATANGAS GOLD PROJECT

Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) Progress

The DFS into the viability of mining and processing existing gold and silver resources at the Batangas Gold Project is approximately 50% complete, and includes metallurgical testing, geotechnical studies, new mining costs and scheduling, and a study into residue storage options.

  • i) Metallurgical testing (ALS, managed Como Engineers) indicates significantly increased metallurgical recovery for a composite sample from the larger Kay Tanda West (KTW) Indicated Resource at the Archangel Prospect, compared to the metallurgical recovery assumptions in the Scoping Study (released 20 March 2014). In particular, the recoveries for fresh (sulphide) material from KTW, at the assumed 106 micron grind size, are estimated to be 96% gold recovery based on the DFS testing program compared to 83% gold recovery assumed in the Scoping Study. Oxide resource metallurgical recovery for KTW is now 97% gold recovery compared to 92% and transition recovery remains unchanged at 90% . The increased recoveries for resources at KTW may lead to even lower production cost per ounce, a deeper pit design and increased total production from KTW.

The metallurgical recovery modelled for the SWB resource, based on metallurgical testing of oxidetransition material, is moderately lower than assumed in the Scoping Study at 90% gold recovery compared to 95%. Testing was also completed for fresh (sulphide) material from SWB, producing recoveries averaging 84% gold recovery at the assumed 45 micron grind size.

Further testing has examined the potential to increase recovery from the fresh (sulphide) zone of the SWB ore body, through gravity concentration of the sulphide residues after leaching of a relatively coarse grind, then completing a very fine grind and intensive leach on the concentrated residues. Once the flow sheet is settled, metallurgical testing will continue on a suite of variability samples representing all parts of the preliminary mining inventory at SWB and KTW.

ii) Mining engineering consultant Crystal Sun Consulting has generated a revised, preliminary production schedule that indicates potentially longer mine life and increased production compared to the Scoping Study production schedule. The new, revised, production schedule is based only on the JORC 2012 Code compliant Indicated Resources (released 30 June 2014) and includes an increased “high grade” mining inventory, equivalent to probable ore reserves totaling: 1.08 million tonnes grading 3.0 g/t gold (Au) and 10.3 g/t silver (Ag) or 3.13 g/t Au[ 1] equivalent . Based on production rates assumed for the Scoping Study of 100,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) for SWB and 250,000tpa for KTW, and the new metallurgical recovery assumptions, this would allow for an increased mine life to 5.5 years (previously 4.5 years) producing over 100,000oz of gold .

Additional mining inventory, including Kay Tanda Main (KTM) Indicated and Inferred Resources, is included in a 10 year production schedule submitted to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) as part of Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility final permitting, currently being processed.

  • iii) Geotechnical studies (RDCL, consultants) indicate that it may be possible to steepen the eastern, footwall of the planned SWB open pit, allowing for lower mining costs for the, Indicated Resources totaling 214,000 tonnes grading 6.4 g/t Au (released 30 June 2014).

  • iv) A residue storage options study (completed by ATC Williams) has concluded that thickened residues disposal will result in a lower environmental risk and lower capital cost (due to decreased wall volume) compared to “conventional” residue disposal methods. Detailed design and costing of the thickened residues options will be completed in the second stage of the DFS.

  • v) Detailed surveying (McDonald Surveys) has been completed for all potential mining and infrastructure areas.

The next stage of the DFS will include updated financial modeling of the revised inputs prior to the second, detailed design and engineering stage of the DFS, due for completion in mid 2015.

Permitting Update

The Company continues to progress the key permitting applications in the Philippines, namely the Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility report (DMPF) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that, with other environmental permit applications, forms the submission for the grant of an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).

The Company is close to achieving endorsement of the necessary two out of three key Local Government Units (LGU’s), including Barungay (township) level, Municipal level and/or Provincial level. LGU endorsement of the DMPF will allow revision and transfer of documentation from the regional Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) to the central MGB for the final stages of approval.

The objectives of the Company are to complete the DFS in parallel with progressing the project towards final permitting. Project financing options will be reviewed upon completion of the DFS, pending approval of the Company’s Board to advance to a Financial Investment Decision.

Exploration Targeting, Lobo Prospect

Following a detailed exploration target review for the entire Batangas Gold Project, the Company prioritised testing of five (5) new high grade gold and silver-copper targets at its Lobo Prospect.

The primary target remains high grade gold. However several epithermal targets that have been identified are exposed at a high level in the system and include preserved siliceous caps that are prospective for silver and copper that may overly high grade gold zones.

The five high priority targets selected for rockchip/channel sampling, trenching and drilling are as follows:

  • i) Camo silver-copper and high grade gold target – major flexure on the SWB structure with high grade silver and copper results at surface (e.g. surface rockchip results to 729.5 g/t silver (Ag), 4.39 % Copper (Cu), 1.45 g/t Au, and drilling to LB-51: 5.5m @ 486 g/t Ag, 1.8% Copper (Cu), released pre 2012, Mindoro Resources Ltd). Targeting high grade silver-copper near surface and high grade gold potential at depth.

  • ii) Signal high grade gold target – exceptionally high grade rock chip sample grades (72.6 g/t Au, 42.6 g/t Au (released pre 2012, Mindoro Resources Ltd) and 32.7 g/t Au (ASX release 15 July 2014) lead into an area of preserved silica cap, with strongly anomalous silver and copper grades, that potentially overlays a high grade gold shoot.

  • iii) Ulupong high grade gold target – exceptionally high grade surface trenching results (e.g. along vein, 19m @ 9.77 g/t Au including 7m @ 23.6 g/t Au and including 0.8m @ 94.8 g/t Au, ASX release 11 March 2013) at south-western end of a 3km long corridor. However the strongest soil anomaly on the property at the north-eastern end of the corridor remains untested.

  • iv) Pica high grade gold and copper-gold target – previous drilling oriented northwest-southeast intersected multiple epithermal veins (e.g. LB-07: 2.5m @ 9.2 g/t Au, 28.4 g/t Ag, 8.6% Zn from 97.9m, ASX release 30 September 2013) within a broader, porphyry copper-gold-silver-zinc zone (LB-07: 100.4m @ 0.3 g/t Au, 1.56 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu, 0.28% Zn from 54.5m, ASX release, September quarterly report, 30 October 2013). New interpretation of regional geophysics and mapping indicates this zone may trend in this direction and that drilling would be better oriented southwest-northeast.

  • v) South West Breccia trend extended – at the southwestern end of the 500m long SWB corridor, Trench 13 intersected 2.6m @ 28.6 g/t Au (ASX release 7 January 2014) with drilling (LB 105) of 0.65m @ 18 g/t Au from 10m (ASX release 23 April 2014), immediately before the structure passes under younger limestone that may obscure extensions to the high grade zone.

Additional mapping, soil sampling, surface rockchip sampling and trenching were conducted or is in progress in order to define multiple targets for drill testing in due course.

Camo Target Drilling Results

The first priority target selected for drill testing was the Camo target, located approximately 1.2 kilometres along strike northeast of the high grade SWB resource, and associated with an identical flexure or bend in the structure to SWB (see plan, Figure 3).

Initial channel sampling produced a peak surface intersection in Trench C1-14 of 4m @ 379 g/t Ag, 2.0 g/t Au and 0.62% Cu (ASX release 25 August 2014) , located at the south western end of a 500 metre strike length zone of variably exposed epithermal lode. A previous intersection in drillhole LB-51 intersected the lode down plunge to the north of the trench, intersecting 5.5m from 25.8m @ 487 g/t Ag, 0.17 g/t Au and 1.83% Cu (released pre 2012).

A diamond drilling program totalling 8 holes for 538 metres tested down plunge from the surface channel sampling results, defining a shallowly northeast plunging zone of silver with copper and gold mineralisation over a 125 metres strike length and to a maximum 100 metres vertical depth.

The peak new drilling intersection from this zone was in LB 119 ( ASX release 2 October 2014):

  • 5.5m @ 200 g/t Ag, 0.25 g/t Au, 0.65% Cu, 1.25% Pb + Zn from 27.5 metres

  • including 2.5m @ 418 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au, 1.28% Cu, 2.6% Pb + Zn and

  • including 0.5m @ 938 g/t Ag, 2.54% Cu, 6.46% Pb + Zn

The Camo lode mineralisation is open down plunge to the northeast towards a second, gold-silver soil anomaly, “Anomaly 2”, where exploration continues with the objective of defining a deeper high-grade gold target (see plan Figure 3 and longitudinal projection Figure 4).

Other Exploration Results

As announced to ASX on 6 October 2014, a program of channel sampling was carried out at the Lumbangan Ridge target, on the exploration permit (EP) immediately southeast of the Archangel Prospect.

Results from the program included high grade channel sampling intersections include LUM 5 that returned 4m @ 372 g/t Ag, 2.2 g/t Au , including 1m @ 1,415 g/t Ag, 8.0 g/t Au and LUM 6 that returned 2m @ 449 g/t Ag, 1.4 g/t Au including 1m @ 758 g/t Ag, 2.2 g/t Au (see Table 2 for all results).

The high grade silver with gold results are from an outcropping lode located on Lumbangan Ridge, located immediately (500m) to the east of the Kay Tanda resource on the Archangel MPSA (see Figure 5, plan view).

These high grade silver with gold results are from a northwest-southeast trending lode that is still open along strike and at depth.

A second northwest-southeast trending lode at Gitna Creek, 1km to the north of Lumbangan Ridge, included the LUM 9 intersection of 8m @ 137 g/t Ag, 0.46 g/t Au . This thicker intersection of high grade silver

mineralisation is a “stratabound” replacement style zone that dips shallowly back into the ridge and is also open along strike and at depth.

The Lumbangan target zone (Figure 5) offers potential to define additional resources close to the Kay Tanda resources.

About Red Mountain Mining Limited and the Batangas Gold Project

Red Mountain Mining (ASX: RMX) is primarily a gold explorer/developer and project acquisition company which listed on the ASX in September 2011. The Company’s strategy is to unlock the potential of ‘underdeveloped’ 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.

A Scoping Study (ASX announcement 20 March 2014) has demonstrated a strongly viable, low capital (USD15 million) and operating cost (USD692/oz), gold development based on initially recovering 90,000oz of gold over 4.5 years. The Company is completing a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) on the project, with early indications of an extended mine life to 5.5 years recovering over 100,000oz of gold (ASX release 10 September 2014).

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

Other gold opportunities will be reviewed on a continuous basis.
