DISCLAIMER, FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND JORC STATEMENT
==> picture [138 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
The release, publication or distribution of this presentation in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law and therefore persons in such jurisdictions into which this presentation is released, published or distributed should inform themselves about and observe such restrictions.
This presentation does not constitute, or form part of, an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy any securities, nor the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale, issue or transfer of the securities referred to in this presentation in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. This presentation is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States, nor does this presentation constitute a prospectus or other offering document in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which it is being used. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from registration there from.
This presentation contains certain forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on Red Mountain Mining’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry in which Red Mountain Mining operates, and beliefs and assumptions regarding Red Mountain Mining’s future performance. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates” “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Red Mountain Mining, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Red Mountain Mining cautions shareholders and prospective shareholders not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect the view of Red Mountain Mining only as of the date of this presentation. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Red Mountain Mining will not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or unanticipated events occurring after the date of this presentation except as required by law or by any appropriate regulatory authority.
The Scoping Study referred to in this announcement is based on lower-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Scoping Study will be realised. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources (that represent 10% of the mining inventory in the Scoping Study) and there is no certainly that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. There is no certainty that the Scoping Study production targets or the forecast financial information derived from production targets, will be realised. All material assumptions underpinning the production targets and forecast financial information derived from the production targets, full details of which were released to ASX on 20 March 2014, continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Mineral Resources in this presentation have been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 (ASX release 30 June 2014). However the mining inventory and production targets reported as part of the Scoping Study have not been updated on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
The information in this report relating to Mineral Resources and Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Jon Dugdale who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient exploration experience which is relevant to the various styles of mineralisation under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 and 2012 Editions of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Dugdale is a full time employee and Managing Director of Red Mountain Mining Ltd. For the information relating to Mineral Resources and post December 2013 Exploration Results, the Company confirms that the form and context in which the information is presented has not been materially modified and it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements, as detailed in the body of this announcement. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed. For the information in this report relating to pre December 2013 Exploration Results, Mr Dugdale takes responsibility for and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

MILESTONES TO PRODUCTION AND DISCOVERY
==> picture [138 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
1. Scoping Study: completed March 2014 on ideally located Batangas Gold Project. Confirmed potential for a strongly viable, low capital cost (US$15m), low operating cost (US$690/oz) initial gold mining and processing project producing 90,000oz of gold over initial 4.5 years.
2. Resource Upgrade: released 30 June 2014, total JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred resources: 6.19mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 444,000oz Au including Lobo Indicated and Inferred 604,000t @ 4.2 g/t Au for 82,000oz Au.
3. Definitive Feasibility Study: in progress, preliminary results indicate potential to initially produce 100,000oz in just over 5 years. CIL processing at Lobo, close to sealed road access, Lobo township accommodation and high grade South West Breccia open pit that will be the initial ore source. Ore will be hauled from Archangel, Kay Tanda West open pit, via coastal road from year 3.
4. Permitting : submitted 30 March 2014, on already granted MPSA’s (Philippines equivalent of Mining Licences). Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility and Environmental Compliance Certificate submitted, scheduled for approval by Q1 2015.
5. Exploration Potential : for additional high-grade resources based on continued sampling and drilling of priority targets for preserved high grade epithermal gold systems within the 15km strike of epithermal structures at Lobo, of which only 1km tested to date.

LOBO PROSPECT : MULTIPLE TARGETS FOR HIGH GRADE EPITHERMAL GOLD-SILVER
==> picture [138 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Five key targets identified within 15km strike on 5 parallel epithermal lode structures:
1. Camo: major flexure “look-a-like” target to South West Breccia (SWB), but with fully preserved silver-copper-gold silica cap. Target for silver-copper at surface and high grade gold at depth. Drilling in progress.
2. Signal : exceptionally high grade rock chip samples at surface lead into an area of preserved high silver-copper-gold in silica cap at analogous position to SWB. Trench excavations in progress before drilling is planned.
3. Pica: centre of the porphyry system at Lobo. Previous high grade epithermal vein intersections above porphyry Cu-Au zone, open in all directions. Target for high grade gold-base metals with porphyry Cu-Au underneath. Drill planning underway.
4. Ulupong: very strong soil anomalies and high-grade surface trenching results indicate gold zone exposed for 3km strike of structural corridor. Additional trenching in progress prior to drill planning.
5. South West Breccia lode extended: exceptional trenching results at surface from preserved extensions to SWB zone, extend to area of shallow limestone cover that may obscure extensions to the high grade lode. Drilling to be planned.
