ASX ANNOUNCEMENT RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD

Quarterly Report for quarter ending 31 December 2020

Red Mountain Mining Limited (the Company, Red Mountain or RMX ) is pleased to provide the following report on its activities during the quarter ending 31 December 2020.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Mt Maitland Gold Project – 100%

On 8 October 2020, The Company announced it had recently successfully completed the required heritage clearance survey, and secured an RC drill rig for its maiden drill programme at Mt Maitland.

On 25 November 2020, RMX announced that it has completed its maiden drill programme Mt Maitland. Approximately 1,850m of RC drilling was completed across 27 holes. The programme focused on four primary targets: Mt Maitland South, Lenanphyl, Second Chance South and Jacia.

Initial assays at the Mt Maitland South prospect deliver shallow high grade gold results, including:

  • 7m @ 3.3g/t Au from 34m, including 1m @ 12.7 g/t Au from 37m

  • o 8m @ 1.7g/t Au from 107m, including 1m @ 7.1 g/t Au from 110m

Mt Mansbridge Heavy Rare Earth 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 28 October RMX announced that it had reached with ARD Group (ARD), the vendors of the Mt Mansbridge heavy rare earths project, to favourably restructure the transaction that was voted against by shareholders in March 2020. Mt Mansbridge Project, consists of three West Australian tenements containing targets prospective for HREE and nickel-cobalt.

On 25 November 2020, RMX announced the results of its geophysical review of all available magnetic, gravity and radiometric data at the Mt Mansbridge Project area. The review defined existing rare earth element ( REE ) targets as well as identify several early stage radiometric (potential xenotime) targets for follow up.

On 16 December 2020, RMX advised that it had conducted a fixed wing airborne radiometric survey. The intent of the programme was to further identify unconformity type rare earths targets at Mt Mansbridge which is interpreted to be similar to that at Northern Minerals Limited (ASX: NTU) Dazzler and Iceman heavy rare earth deposits.
