Quarterly Report for quarter ending 30 June 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 June 2021.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Mt Maitland Gold and Base Metals Project – 100%
On 12 April 2021, RMX reported the results of the completed Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey. The survey identified two priority targets situated below the depth of historic exploration drilling and drilling carried out by RMX in Q4 CY2020.
The survey initially consisted of three 1.6km long E-W orientated survey lines, spaced 400m apart and centered over the Jacia and Mt Maitland South Prospects. Receivers were spaced at 100m along the survey lines. As preliminary results were highly encouraging from the initial three survey lines, a further two infill lines were completed to constrain the chargeable - anomalous zones. The completed survey comprised of five 1.6km long E-W orientated surveys lines, spaced 200m apart.
On 27 May 2021, RMX announced that diamond drilling had commenced at the 100% owned Mt. Maitland Gold and Base Metal Project in the Murchison Region of Western Australia. The porogram consisted of two drill holes (approx. 800m in total) which were designed to test the IP chargeability anomalies associated with the Jacia and Maitland South Prospects.
On 23 June 2021, RMX announced that drilling of the Jacia IP chargeability had been completed 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. These two zones, as well as other zones of interest will be assayed and reported upon over the coming month.
Mt Mansbridge Heavy Rare Earths and Ni-Co-PGM Project – 100%
Located in the Kimberly region of Western Australia, the project area is approximately 130 kms south-east of the township of Halls Creek and consists of three contiguous granted exploration licenses E80/5111, E80/5229 and E80/5413 containing targets prospective for HREE and nickel-cobalt. The tenements lie approximately 40km from Northern Minerals’ (ASX: NTU) flagship Browns Range project.

On 22 April 2021, RMX announced that it has been successful in its application for a grant of up to $150,000 under Round 23 of the WA Governments Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS Grant).
On 17 May 2021, it was announced that exploration field season had commenced. Representatives of the Company completed a site visit with members of the Tjurubalan, the traditional owners of the land. Initial work programs and access to the project area were agreed upon with exploration programs. Initial target definition exploration programs at the project were to consist of surface geochemical (soil) sampling, rockchipping, mapping, and geophysical surveys to advance the various HREE and Ni-Cu-Co-PGE prospects. These programmes are to assist with target definition for drill testing later in the field season.
On 23 June 2021, RMX announced that soil sampling had commenced. Sampling initially focused upon the three priority Rare Earth Element prospects Killi-Killi, Vader and Kylo, before moving to the second order priority target areas around the project.
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).
During the quarter, the Company announced that following a review of historical work on its Koonenberry tenure, an initial reconnaissance visit was conducted to confirm historical structural observations and evaluate priority areas for planned geophysical surveys and sampling programmes.
The visit showed historic occurrences were either narrow in general quartz veins within the predominantly NNW striking Jeffrey’s Flat “slate” unit or alluvial working, in general proximal to meandering streams on steep dipping slate. Areas with the most visible evidence of historic activities were Evan’s Gully (alluvial work) and Gum Vale (structural narrow vein).
All historic gold workings observed are within proximity to the NNE trending schist belt. The northern occurrences tended to be of alluvial nature (Evans Gully and workings north of Evans Gully), while the southern occurrences are vein hosted, predominantly related to quartz veining. It was further observed that the central area of the schist belt seems to contain more sedimentary accumulations, in the central south of RMX’s tenure as well within the northern part of Manhattan’s tenure. This central low laying area may be attributed to structural weaknesses, possibly acting as conduits for mineralization, covered by younger sediments.
The site visit has confirmed a passive seismic survey would be suitable to yield the best results in relation to identifying deeper mineralised structures. The Company is currently in advanced stages of the preparation of a passive seismic survey at specific targets within the Koonenberry project at the earliest availability.
