Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report for quarter ending 30 September 2017

Red Mountain Mining Limited ( the Company , Red Mountain or RMX ) is pleased to provide the following update on its activities during the quarter ending 30 September 2017.

Mokabe-Kasari Project

As announced on 6 September 2017, the Company proceeded with an earn-in agreement with CoCu Metals Ltd ( CoCu ) which controls 100% of the Mokabe-Kasari Cobalt-Copper project ( Mokabe-Kasari Project ) in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa ( Agreement ). During the period, by mutual agreement with CoCu, the commercial terms were revised whereby the Company may earn up to 90% of the Mokabe-Kasari Project via:

  1. The issue of 14 million shares in the Company (7.5 million of which will be subject to 12 months escrow);

  2. Payment of A$70,000 on commencement of phase 1 exploration;

  3. Payment of A$75,000 90 days after phase 1 exploration commencement provided that the Company notifies CoCu that it wishes to continue with the Project; and

  4. Payment of US$100,000 on issue of Mining Licence (or equivalent) over the Mokabe-Kasari Project area or portion thereof.

On 6 September 2017, the Company further advised that it had raised A$735,000 (before costs) via the issue of 66,818,182 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.011 (1.1 cent) per share via a Placement to provide funding towards earn-in exploration activities at the Mokabe-Kasari Project, ongoing identification and due diligence on additional asset, new project opportunities as well as general working capital.

On 14 September 2017, the Company provided an update on its Phase 1 exploration activities at the Mokabe-Kasari Project with an objective to delineate targets for reverse circulation ( RC ) and Diamond follow up drilling. Further details on the exploration update can be found in the announcement released on that date.

Red Valley Project

On 4 July 2017, the Company announced that, having considered the laboratory results from drilling operations at its Red Valley Lithium Brines Project in western Utah, USA, the Board concluded that there was insufficient Lithium enrichment present in order to justify continued work at Red Valley. The

Company will therefore not be proceeding with further drillings, and nor will it proceed with its joint venture in respect of the Red Valley Lithium Brines Project, and no consideration payments shall be made.

Batangas Gold Project

The Company retains its leverage to the Philippines based Batangas Gold project by way of its 1% NSR production royalty and currently holds approximately 7.35 million shares in Bluebird Merchant Ventures Ltd.

Business Development

The Board continues to identify and review additional opportunities in the gold, energy metals and base metals space and will provide updates as and when required in this respect.

Corporate

During the quarter, 15,625 RMXOG options were exercised and 7,500,003 RMXOE options expired unexercised.

In addition, as referred to above, 66,181,182 Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors under a Placement and 14,000,000 Shares were issued in part consideration for the revised terms of the Company’s proposed earn-in of up to 90% of the Mokabe-Kasari Project.
