Acquisition price amendments

Red Mountain Mining has valued the interests in the Mindoro assets (“Assets”) that are being acquired at approximately $10 million to $15 million. This purchase price will be satisfied through the issue of:

  • 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Red Mountain Mining; and

  • 50,000,000 performance shares in the capital of Red Mountain Mining that convert into ordinary shares if, within 12 months of completion of the sale, both (a) the gold resource across the Assets increase to 600,000 ounces at a JORC Indicated level; and (b) a scoping study is completed on the Assets that confirms that the development of a mine is economically viable, where the scoping study must have a minimum of 50% conversion of the 600,000 ounces Indicated JORC Resource to Probable Reserves.

Mindoro intends to make an in specie distribution of the Red Mountain Mining initial 100,000,000 shares on a pro rata basis after 12 months of the sale. The 50,000,000 performance based Red Mountain Mining shares (if milestones are achieved) will be distributed in specie to Mindoro shareholders up to 24 months after the sale.

Following the transaction, current Red Mountain Mining shareholders will retain an approximate 35% to 44% interest in the expanded group (depending on the final number of shares issued).

Neil Warburton, Red Mountain Mining Executive Chairman and Acting CEO, said “The initial response to the proposed acquisition of Mindoro’s significant gold and copper-gold assets from existing major Red Mountain Mining and Mindoro shareholders had been very positive.”

“We look forward to providing further information to our shareholders about the proposed transaction ahead of the shareholder meeting. We are excited about the imminent drilling program which if successful will add significant contained gold resources and value to all shareholders,” concluded Mr Warburton.

Conditions Precedent

As announced previously, the conditions precedent to the transaction include:

  • Completion of satisfactory due diligence by both parties;

  • Board and required shareholder approval of both Red Mountain Mining and Mindoro;

  • Board and executive appointments;

  • Completion of the restructuring of Mindoro’s Philippines subsidiary MRL Gold Phils. Inc. whereby the assets and beneficial rights to the assets are transferred to another Mindoro subsidiary owned by MRL Gold (Australia) Pty Ltd;

  • Toronto Stock Exchange approval of the sale of Mindoro assets for shares;

3

• The entity which houses the projects, being MRL Gold (Australia) Pty Ltd (on a consolidated basis inclusive of their Philippines subsidiaries) having net positive working capital at the time of completion of the transaction;

• Red Mountain Mining preparing an Independent Expert’s Report and Prospectus.

Completion of the transaction is now expected to occur late rather than early August 2012, as originally advised. The parties have agreed that the working capital requirement for Red Mountain Mining will apply as at 30 June 2012, rather than completion as previously agreed, and will comprise approximately $4.2 million.
