Red Mountain Mining Ltd Interim Consolidated Financial Report 31 December 2013

The Directors of Red Mountain Mining Ltd present their Report together with the financial statements of the consolidated entity, being Red Mountain Mining Ltd half year ended 31 December 2013 and the Independent Review Report thereon.

Director details

The following persons were Directors of the Company during or since the end of the half-year:

Mr Michael Wolley

Mr Keith Rowe (resigned 11 July 2013)

Mr Neil Warburton

Mr Jon Dugdale

Review of operations and financial results

The Group has recorded an operating loss of $1.36m (2012: $0.2m) and continued with exploration activities, including drilling, on the gold projects and copper gold tenements in the Philippines.

Financial Position

As of 31 December 2013, the Company had cash balances of $0.92m (30 June 2013: $0.99m) and net assets of $18.1m (30 June 2013: $16.96m).

Commentary

During the 6 months to 31 December 2013 the Company focussed on exploration programs on its Batangas Gold Project tenements, south of Manila in the Philippines.

On 26 August 2013 and 13 September 2013 the Company released the results of a five diamond drill holes for 251.25m that tested the Japanese Tunnel target located on the Lobo Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) 176. A 40m strike length zone was tested to shallow depth of less than 30m below surface. The initial results indicate a southwest plunging shoot, open to the southwest and at depth where further drill testing is planned.

On 30 September 2013, the Company released the results of two diamond drillholes for 384.75m that were completed at the Pica Target on EP007 during the reporting period. Diamond drill hole PC-07 intersected a steeply dipping epithermal quartz-barite-sulphide vein and produced a high grade intersection that remains open at depth. A second drill hole, PC08-13, 27m to the northeast along strike, did not produce a significant gold intersection and may have drilled above the epithermal vein structure. The drilling has downgraded the potential for a shallow open-pitable resource but potential remains to define high grade epithermal vein and/or porphyry Cu-Au-(Zn) resources.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd Interim Consolidated Financial Report 31 December 2013

Directors Report

Following the Japanese Tunnel drilling a program of soil sampling and surface prospecting was conducted to the southwest of the South West Breccia resources and the Japanese Tunnel target. The results of the soil sampling and subsequent surface rock chip sampling identified a 500m strike extension to the Southwest Breccia Japanese Tunnel epithermal lode corridor before it passes under shallow dipping limestone to the southwest. On 6 November 2013, the Company released results from surface trenching (Trench 7), excavated through approximately 1.5m of soil, colluvium and subcrop before intersecting a 2m wide quartz-barite-sulphide breccia lode 100m directly along strike from the Japanese Tunnel drilling. An exceptionally high grade intersection was produced that was followed up with further trenching along strike, the results of which are

On 18 September 2013, the Company commenced an independent scoping study into a gold mining and processing plant at its Batangas Gold Project. The study was in progress at 31 December 2013 and will be completed during Q1 2014.

Batangas and complete a development scoping study to establish the viability of a gold development project.

The Company is aware of the risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions. It has been mindful to maintain close community and local government relations and its track record of sound environmental, health and safety programs.

The Company has also maintained an experienced team of financial and technical advisors to assist the Company to meet its objectives.

As detailed in Note 6, the Company issued 5,325,000 fully paid ordinary shares, 2,662,500 listed options exercisable at $0.015 each on or before 30 June 2014 and 1,331,250 listed options exercisable at $0.03 each on or before 30 June 2016 on 1 July 2013 pursuant to a partially underwritten, pro-rata, renounceable entitlements issue. Funds raised from the entitlements issue were employed towards exploration and a preliminary scoping study, and general working capital.

On 5 September 2013, the Company issued 8,636,950 fully paid ordinary shares, as disclosed in Note 11, at a deemed issue price of $0.01 per Share to consultants of the Company for the provision of professional services.

On 23 September 2013 the Company issued Sedgman Limited with 3,875,000 fully paid ordinary shares, as disclosed in Note 6, at a deemed issue price of $0.01 per Share as part consideration for engineering services provided in connection with the Batangas Gold Project scoping study.

As detailed in Note 8, on 1 November 2013, the Company issued 1 fully paid ordinary share to Mindoro Resources Ltd pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement, on conversion of 50,000,000 Performance Shares due to the milestone conditions not being met.

Significant and subsequent events and transactions

Operations

Subsequent to 31 December 2013, the Company announced further results from sampling of trenches excavated along the 500m strike length South West Breccia lode corridor.

On 7 January 2014, the Company released results from further sampling on the other, northeast, wall of Trench and immediately along strike from Trench 7. The lodes intersected in the trenching produced further high grade results and remain open to the northeast (towards Japanese Tunnel) and southwest where further trenching was completed.

Also released on 7 January 2014 were the results from trenching a further 100m southwest of Trench 7 that produced another exceptionally high grade intersection in Trench 13 from a northwest dipping lode displaced slightly down slope by surface slumping. Trench 11, 7m to the southwest, intersected the same lode and 10m to the southwest Trench 14 intersected limestone cover that conceals the lode. The limestone cover continues for over 1km before the lode structure emerges to the southwest where previously sampled surface colluvial float produced high grade results.

On 12 February 2014, further very high grade gold results were released from Trenches 19 and 21, located 40m and 30m respectively from the existing South West Breccia JORC 2004 Mineral Resources.

Drilling commenced early February 2014 to test for extensions of the exceptionally high grade epithermal gold lode mineralisation with the objective of defining additional high grade gold mineral resources to add to the current resource base. On 25 February 2014, initial results were released that confirmed the high grade lode at South West Breccia extended near surface. Deeper drilling along the entire trend is planned to continue.

The Company announced on 4 March 2014 that the scoping study, initially focused on a processing plant to be located at Archangel close to the larger but lower grade gold resources at Kay Tanda, has been re-focused to processing higher grade, near surface, gold resources initially from the South West Breccia (SWB) resource at the Lobo prospect then transporting Kay Tanda (West) resources at the Archangel prospect to the Lobo plant for processing. The lower tonnage highergrade focused processing plant is expected to greatly reduce capital expenditure and minimise the environmental footprint whilst greatly enhancing overall economic returns. The study is nearing completion.

Red Mountain Mining Ltd Consolidated Interim Financial Report 31 December 2013

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Red Mountain Mining Ltd The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2013 comprised the Company

For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial report, the Group is a for profit entity.

The environment in which that entity operates.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 11th March 2014.

a) Statement of compliance

The months ended 31 December 2013 and are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is the functional currency of the parent company. These general purpose interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting . They do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements in accordance with AIFRS, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Australian Stock Exchange Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.

b) Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Group in this consolidated interim financial report are consistent with those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013.

New policies, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and current reporting period.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Any significant impact on the accounting policies of the consolidated entity from the adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations are disclosed in the relevant accounting policy. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:

Subsidiaries

AASB 10 introduces a new control model that is applicable to all entities, by focusing on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns. In particular, AASB 10 requires the Group consolidate investees that it controls on the basis of de facto circumstances. There is no impact to the Group from this standard.

14

Red Mountain Mining Ltd Consolidated Interim Financial Report 31 December 2013

Joint arrangements

Under AASB 11, the Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint When making this assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Previously, the structure of the arrangement was the sole focus of classification. There is no impact to the Group from this standard.

Disclosure of interests in other entities

Combines existing disclosures from AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements , AASB 128 Investments in Associates and AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures . Introduces new disclosure requirements for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as new requirements for unconsolidated structured entities. There will be additional disclosures required in the annual report as result of adopting this standard.

Fair value measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements, when such measurements are required or permitted by other AASBs. In particular, it unifies the definition of fair value as the price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date. It also replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other AASBs, including AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Some of these disclosures are specifically required in interim financial statements for financial instruments; accordingly, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard (see Note 12).

Retirement liabilities

c., has a provision for unfunded defined retirement benefit plan covering all of its regular employees in the Philippines. Under the provisions of the plan, the normal retirement age is 60 but employees with at least 5 years of service can avail of early retirement. The most recent actuarial valuation of the retirement benefit plan for the year ended 31 December 2013.

c) Comparative figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

On 30 October 2012, 100 million fully paid ordinary Red Mountain shares (to be held in escrow for 12 months, until 30 October 2013) were issued to Mindoro as part of the consideration for acquisition of its gold and copper gold assets in the Philippines, together with 50 million performance shares, that would convert to fully paid ordinary shares upon achievement of certain performance milestones by 30 October 2013.

On 18 October 2013, Red Mountain announced that the milestones that would trigger conversion of the performance shares to full voting shares would not be met by 30 October 2013, and therefore, the 50 million performance shares were converted to a single Red Mountain share only. This transaction did not have any impact on the interim financial report as the performance shares had no value at the date of acquisition.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Red Mountain Mining Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Red Mountain Mining Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Red Mountain Mining Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Red Mountain Mining Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Red Mountain Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001
