BATANGAS GOLD PROJECT

Exploration and the Early Mining Target Results, Lobo Prospect:

The Company has previously identified four zones of very high grade, outcropping, gold mineralisation along the 500 metre exposed strike length of the South West Breccia (SWB) Lode structure, Lobo prospect. The four from northeast to southwest are: SWB Extended, Japanese Tunnel , Trench 7 Area and the Limestone Target (see Figure 2 for location).

These four discreet high-grade, outcropping, gold zones are being assessed for selective early mining and potential toll processing or ore sales. Additional trenching was completed at SWB Extended and the Limestone Target during the Quarter, as summarised below, and further trenching and selective drilling is expected to be undertaken to define and potentially extend an early mining Measured Resource.

The assessment of the high-grade early mining target zones will be carried out in parallel with the Company’s current DFS on the mining and processing of the majority of the open pit Mining Inventory based on the Indicated Resource (30 June 2014), that includes 174,000 tonnes grading 6.8 g/t Au from the planned SWB open pit (ASX release 23 January 2015 and 20 November 2014), see Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: Plan of South West Breccia Lode structure with high-grade early mining targets

New, very high grade trenching intersections were produced from projected extensions to the SWB lode, (SWB Extended) and related colluvial gold deposits. These new intersections have the potential to extend and increase the size of the high-grade early mining target. All new trenching intersections are shown on a surface projection of the SWB Extended zone (Figure 3 below).

The new SWB Extended intersections include Trench 36 that intersected 4.5m @ 14.8 g/t Au including 1.0m @ 44.9 g/t Au across southwest extensions of the main SWB lode, and to the northwest, a zone of colluvial gravel/cobble material produced an intersection of 6.0m @ 13.03 g/t Au (released 2 March 2015). To the northeast of Trench 36, Trench 37 intersected 9m @ 28.9 g/t Au from the SWB Main Lode and 11m @ 19.1 g/t Au from the overlying colluvium zone (released 17 March 2015). In addition, a series of lode/breccia boulders have been located along strike to the southwest of Trench 36. Sampling of these boulders included results of MGI 33295: 27.7 g/t Au; MGI 33294: 11.5 g/t Au and MGI 33297: 33.5 g/t Au (released 2 March 2015) . These high grade boulders lie above projected extensions to the SWB main lode, southwest of the trenches above. Further excavation and potentially drilling will be required to confirm the extent of surface colluvium mineralisation and the potential underlying lode.

Additional trenching was also completed at the Limestone Target , another early mining target, located 500 metres southwest of the SWB resource. New trenching intersections included Trench 34: 3.5m @ 25.9 g/t Au including 1.5m @ 56.8 g/t Au; Trench 33C:2m @ 14.2 g/t Au including 0.5m @ 41.0 g/t Au and

Trench 33D: 1.2m @ 23.4 g/t Au (see ASX release 2 February 2015). These high grade, at surface, gold intersections are located along a 20 metre exposure of outcropping lode, surrounded by overlying, younger, limestone under which the lode is likely to extend. Drilling has been planned to test these potential highgrade lode extensions under the limestone.

The new surface gold intersections have the potential to increase the high grade, at surface, gold Mineral Resource at Lobo. Discussions are in progress with a Shandong, China, based operator interested in purchasing high grade gold ore concentrate. A series of 1,000 kilogram bulk samples have been collected from the outcropping SWB lode zones for a metallurgical testing program to investigate the potential to upgrade the high grade surface material via screening. Discussions have also commenced with a local small processing plant operator for potential processing trials / toll treatment.

The Company plans to complete definition of the high grade, at surface, early mining target on the SWB lode at Lobo, with the objective of calculating a Measured Resource for potential toll treatment and/or ore sales, pending an agreement with a processing plant operator. This may provide early cashflow for the Company whilst the greater Mining Inventory based onsite processing project at Lobo is developed, the subject of the current DFS.

Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) Progress:

The Company produced an interim DFS financial model update on the 23 January 2015 that indicated operating cash flow of A$67 million , based on an Australian dollar gold price of A$1,600/oz and reduced diesel fuel costs in the Philippines compared to initial interim DFS financial modelling released on 20 November 2014. This includes low pre-production capital of A$18.4 million and Sustaining Capital of A$4.3 million, and a 50% increase in free cash flow to A$45 million for the initial 5.2 years of production.

Updated highlights from the interim DFS cash flow model included:

  • Mining Inventory¹ for 5.2 years totalling 1.03 million tonnes @ 3.3 g/t Au, 10.3 g/t Ag .

  • Production target of 100,000oz Au and 250,000oz Ag from processing of 1.03 million ore tonnes.

  • Operating costs (excluding taxes, royalties and sustaining capital) US$703/oz Au ( A$873/oz Au ).

  • Pre-production capital of A$18.4 million , including A$15.4 million installed (inc. 10% contingency).

  • ²

  • • Operating cash flows of A$67 million ², free cash flow after capital of A$45 million (exc. Financing). • Assuming approximately 50% debt financing and repayment in 3 years (5% interest) the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 65%² and NPV (8% discount rate) is A$28.5 million² .

¹Mining Inventory based on Indicated Resources, expected to be converted to Probable Ore Reserves on completion of the DFS. ²Assuming gold price of US$1,290/oz Au /A$1,600/oz Au (A$:US$ exchange rate:0.805)

The interim financial model confirms the low Capex, low operating costs, high IRR and economically robust cash flows over the initial 5.2 years of mining and processing of existing gold resources at the Batangas Gold Project.

The initial two years of production are expected to be from the high grade SWB open pit at Lobo, mining and processing 174,000 tonnes @ 6.8 g/t Au (diluted). The second, 3.2 year production phase is planned to mine and process 854,000 tonnes @ 2.6 g/t Au, 12 g/t Ag (diluted) from the Kay Tanda West (KTW) orebody, at Archangel, 12 kilometres by road to the east of the proposed Lobo processing plant (Figure 1).

Updated capital cost inputs are preliminary at this stage, and will be the main focus of the second, detailed engineering phase of the DFS.

Based on these encouraging interim DFS results, the Red Mountain Board approved proceeding to the final, engineering/design phase of the DFS, which was back in full swing by the end of the March quarter. The processing flow sheet has been finalised, final metallurgical testing, including variability work, is underway and tailings testing and geotechnical programs will be completed to allow the key capital and operating costs inputs to be finalised (released 9 April 2015).

Final Batangas Gold Project 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).

On 23 January 2015 the Company announced it had achieved endorsement from all of the 10 potentially affected Barungay (township) Councils for the Batangas Gold Project development and production plan, as summarised in the DMPF. The Lobo Municipal Council is in the final stages of deliberation to complete local government endorsement of the project prior to the DMPF proceeding to the central Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for final approval.
