Review of operations and financial results
The Group has recorded an operating loss of $0.46m for the half year ended 31 December 2014 (2013: $1.36m) and continued with exploration activities, including drilling, on the gold projects and copper gold tenements in the Philippines.
Financial position
As of 31 December 2014, the Company had cash balances of $0.53m (30 June 2014: $1.72m) and net assets of $22.45m (30 June 2014: $19.79m).
Commentary
During the 6 months to 31 December 2014, the Company made significant progress towards its dual milestones of completing the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and permitting for the proposed Batangas Gold Project mine development and the discovery of additional high-grade resources.
The DFS is approximately 50% complete. An interim DFS financial model update for the initial project, producing 100,000oz of gold over 5.2 years of mining and processing, was released on 20 November 2014 and updated 23 January 2015 (gold price A$1,600/oz; US$1,290/oz). This model indicates strong operating cash flow of A$67 million, free cash flow of A$45 million, including repayment of Capex of A$18.4 million; low pre-tax operating costs (US$703/oz Au; A$873/oz Au); a debt funded Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 65% and a Net Present Value (NPV, 8%) A$28.5 million.
Final permitting has been significantly advanced through endorsement of the Company's Social Development Management Plan (SDMP) and endorsement from all of the 10 potentially affected Barungay (township) Councils for the Batangas Gold Project development and production plan (Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (DMPF)). The next step is Lobo Municipal Council endorsement prior to the DMPF proceeding to the central Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) for final processing and approval.
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being assessed by the Environmental Management Bureau prior to further consultation then expected grant of an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).
During the period, the Company continued exploration activities to define additional gold, silver and copper minerals.
Exploration included high grade silver-copper drilling results from the Camo lode, Lobo Prospect, including LB 119: 5.5m @ 200 g/t Ag, 0.25 g/t Au, 0.65% Cu, 1.25% Pb from 27.5m (released 2 October 2014).
New high-grade gold trenching results were also achieved from the limestone covered southern extensions of South West Breccia (SWB) epithermal vein system, including Trench 32a: 2.5m @ 14.1 g/t Au including 0.5m @ 38.9 g/t Au (released 12 December 2014) and Trench 34: 3.5m @ 25.9 g/t gold (Au) including 1.5m @ 56.8 g/t Au and 0.5m @ 145 g/t Au (released 2 February 2015). These new, high grade gold results are from extensions of a 20 metre strike length of outcropping lode that has been excavated to the southwest and to the northeast of previous trenching, immediately before the lode is interpreted to continue under limestone cover to the southwest and to the northeast. Drilling will be planned to test the potential high-grade lode extensions under the limestone.
A Strategic Funding Partnership Agreement with London based Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd (BMVL) to fund the DFS, permitting and initial development, was signed on 23 December 2014. The Agreement is for two stages of funding, totalling US$5.5m (approximately A$6.7m), to earn BMVL up to 50% of the wholly owned subsidiary, Red Mountain Mining Singapore Ltd (RMMS), holder of the Philippines Projects. Stage 1, US$1m, will fund the DFS, final permitting and reserve definition exploration drilling. Stage 2, US$4.5m, is subject to completion of the DFS and final mine permitting, and is planned to fund the initial development of the project.
The Company's near term strategy is to complete the DFS and final permitting and then arrange financing to commence development of the mine. Exploration of near term, high grade targets will also continue, with the objective of defining additional resources for incorporation into the DFS mining inventory (reserve) schedule.
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 a sound track record of 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.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
Red Mountain Mining Ltd ("the Company") is domiciled in Australia.
The consolidated interim financial report of the Company as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2014 comprised the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as (the "Group").
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial report, the Group is a for profit entity.
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.
The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the board of Directors on 12th of March 2015.
Going concern
For the half year ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded a loss of $455,322 and had operating and investing cash outflows of $2,282,592. Net proceeds from issue of securities after costs totalled $1,009,147. At 31 December 2014, the cash balance was $527,923.
The interim consolidated financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors have determined in order to continue to rapidly develop the Philippines' assets, the Group is likely to require raising capital in the next 12 months.
This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty in relation to the going concern basis of this financial report, the Directors are confident that funding activities within the next 12 months will be successful and therefore the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis and accordingly no adjustments have been made to the interim consolidated financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might result should the consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
In the event that the Group does not raise the additional funding referred to above, there is uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern in the future and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the interim consolidated financial statements.
a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements ("the interim financial statements") of the Group are for the six months ended 31 December 2014 and are presented in Australian dollar ($), 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 2014 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 2014.
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 Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the 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:
- AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
- AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
- AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)
Comparatives have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. The reclassification does not have an impact on the results presented.
Impact of standards issued but not effective
From 1 July 2015, the Group is required to adopt Standards and Interpretations mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The Group has reviewed the impact of these Standards and Interpretations and are continuing to assess whether they will have a significant effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.
The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments.
c) Comparative figures
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
2 SEGMENT REPORTING
The Consolidated Group has identified its reportable operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors ("Board").
The Group segments are structured as corporate in Australia and exploration in the Philippines.

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 2014, 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 2014 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.

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 2014 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.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful capital raising. This condition, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at amounts stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
