Commentary Red Valley Project

During the 6 months to 31 December 2016, Red Mountain reviewed a number of mining exploration and development opportunities across various energy sectors including lithium and cobalt, as well as gold projects.

During the second quarter, the Company entered into an earn-in agreement ( Earn-in Agreement ) in respect of the Red Valley Project, a lithium brine project located in Utah, United States ( Red Valley Project ). The geological modelling of the Red Valley Project has identified it as a Clayton Valley lookalike in Utah. Clayton Valley, Nevada remains the sole source of lithium production in the USA.

In accordance with phase 1 of the Earn-In Agreement, the Company has commenced the initial exploration work and has provided an initial payment of US$25,000 to the vendors with a further US$25,000 upon the commencement of the drilling program. The total cost of the phase 1 drilling, analysis and tenement applications is estimated to be between US$200,000 and US$325,000.

Should the Company proceed with the acquisition, a joint venture will be established and the Company will have the right to increase its ownership to 80% of the Red Valley Project by meeting certain expenditure requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Red Mountain Mining Ltd which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant 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 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 2016 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 Ltd, 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 Ltd, 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 Ltd 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 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

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