ASX ANNOUNCEMENT RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD 28 October 2021

Quarterly Report for quarter ending 30 September 2021

Red Mountain Mining Limited (the Company, Red Mountain or RMX) is pleased to provide the following report on its activities during the quarter ending 30 September 2021.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Mt Maitland Gold and Base Metals Project – 100%

On 13 July 2021, the Company announced that drilling had completed at the Maitland South prospect. Drilling successfully intersected the Maitland South Shear Zone between 266.77m and 281.42m (14.65m width). The shear zone consisted of quartz filled breccias on the margins with strongly silica, sericite, with minor hematite altered schist within the centre of the zone. Disseminations of pyrite were observed throughout the interval.

Drilling of the Jacia IP chargeability anomaly was completed prior to this with encouraging base metal and gold indications. Occurrences/blebs of chalcopyrite (Cu), Sphalerite (Zn) and Galea (Pb) associated with quartz veining were noted during logging.

In addition, two zones of intercalated, pyrite bearing, Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and amphibolite were intersected during drilling. These zones are prospective for gold mineralisation. BIF related gold mineralisation has previously been observed at the Maitland Project at the Lenanphyl prospect which RMX drilled in late 2020.

Mt Mansbridge Heavy Rare Earths and Ni-Co-PGM Project – 100%

On 6 July 2021, the Company announced that 952 soil samples were recently collected from the three priority Rare Earth Element prospects at Mt Mansbridge: Killi-Killi, Vader and Kylo. Samples were analyzed during collection utilizing a REE calibrated portable XRF with areas of interest immediately infilled by the team. RMX's consulting geochemist identified a subset of samples for further laboratory analysis.

On 27 July 2021 the Company announced that it had completed a technical review of its Cow Creek Prospect Nickel-Cobalt prospect at its 100% owned Mt Mansbridge Project in Western Australia. The review highlighted Cow Creek as prospective for mafic-ultramafic intrusive related for Ni-Cu-Co-PGEs.

On 18 August 2021, the Company announced that soil sampling assay results have been received from the laboratory from the 952-sample survey that was completed earlier in the year at Mt Mansbridge. The survey generated several REE soil anomalies, in particular, two significant anomalies have been defined at the Killi-Killi Prospect by the Company's consulting geochemist. The first soil anomaly is a HREE anomaly and is located on the western end of the Mt Mansbridge inlier. Geologically, the anomaly is located on the

prospective unconformable contact between the basement Killi-Killi Formation and the overlying Gardiner Sandstone. The second soil anomaly is a LREE anomaly that was partially defined by previous soil sampling programs. The anomaly has now been defined at a length of 1km and is again located on the prospective unconformable contact.

On 20 September 2021, an update of the project was provided, noting that a final drill planning, mapping and review site visit across the Mt Mansbridge tenure was completed in late August. The results of the work have recently been received confirming targets for rare earths RC drill testing. Further refinement of Mt Mansbridge Ni-Cu-Co-PGE targets has also been completed by the companies' geophysical consultants, SGC.

Heritage surveying was announced as completed at the start of October 2021. An RC drilling rig has been secured and is scheduled to commence drilling in mid-October.

Koonenberry Gold Project – 100%

The Koonenberry Gold Project covers approximately 657 km2 and is located in a geologic setting considered analogous to the prolific Victorian Goldfields located in south-eastern Australia.

The Koonenberry Gold Project adjoins Manhattan Corporation's (ASX:MHC) Tibooburra Gold Project where Manhattan has recently announced a new high grade gold discovery (see announcement dated 25 June 2020).

The Company is currently reviewing data sets at its Koonenberry Project and is monitoring closely other current and ongoing drilling activities in the region.

Mukabe-Kasari Cobalt-Copper Project, DRC

The Board continues to assess the prospectivity of this project in light of the work carried out there during 2020.

Batangas Gold Project, Phillippines – Shares and NSR

The Company holds approximately 1.7m shares in London listed Blue Bird Merchant Ventures Limited (LON: BMV). Blue Bird is focused on its near-term production gold project in South Korea. BMV share price as at 30 September 2021 was 3.40 pence.

The Company retains its net smelter royalty over the Philippines located Batangas gold project.

Corporate

The Company's cash position at the end of the September quarter was $1.942 million.

New Projects

The Company continues to review and assess opportunities that will add value to its portfolio.

Authorised on behalf of the Board,

Mauro Piccini Company Secretary
