NOTES:

  1. Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company, but must be a natural person (not a corporation). A proxy may also be appointed by reference to an office held by the proxy (eg “the Company Secretary”).

  3. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder's voting rights. If no such proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes.

  4. A proxy form is enclosed. A separate form must be used for each proxy. An additional form can be obtained by writing to the Company at Unit 1, 2 Richardson Street, Perth, Western Australia, 6005 or by fax to (61 8) 9486 8616. Alternatively, you may photocopy the enclosed form.

  5. A duly completed proxy form and (where applicable) any power of attorney or a certified copy of the power of attorney must be received by the Company at its registered office or the address or fax number set out below, not less than 48 hours before the time for commencement of the Meeting. Please send by post to Unit 1, 2 Richardson Street, Perth, Western Australia, 6005 or by fax to (61 8) 9486 8616.

  6. The Chairman of the Meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all of the proposed Resolutions. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

  8. The time nominated by the Board for the purpose of determining the voting entitlements at the Meeting is 5.00pm WST on 7 May 2014.

1 E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the General Meeting of Red Mountain Mining Limited ( Company ).

The Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully. The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

2 RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF 60,000,000 SHARES

2.1 BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTION 1

On 21 January 2014, the Company issued 60,000,000 Shares at $0.017 pursuant to a placement to sophisticated investors to raise $1.02 million under the Company’s annual 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company may issue equity securities up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of securities issued without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose of such ratification is to restore the company’s power to issue further securities without shareholder approval within the 15% limit.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Shares under Listing Rule 7.4 to provide flexibility for the Company to issue equity securities in the future under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution:

  • (a) 60,000,000 Shares were issued at $0.017 per Share;

  • (b) the Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) the Shares were issued to new and existing shareholders all of whom were professional and sophisticated investors and not related parties of the Company; and

  • (d) the funds raised from the issue of the Shares have and will be applied towards the initial drilling program at the Batangas Gold Project and general working capital.

2.3 Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3 RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF 431,000 SHARES

3.1 BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTION 2

On 5 March 2014, the Company issued 431,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.029 per Share, under the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, to consultant Crystal Sun Consulting Limited, in part consideration for technical services provided to the Company in relation to the Batangas Gold Project Scoping Study.

Summaries of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are set out in section 2.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Shares under Listing Rule 7.4 to provide flexibility for the Company to issue equity securities in the future under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

3.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution:

  • (a) 431,000 Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.029 per Share;

  • (b) the Shares issued are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares; and
