  • Copper from surface to 379m
  • Significantly increased Exploration Target estimated for Tollu Project
  • Untested regional exploration potential
  • Aeromagnetic surveys have multiple large scale anomalous targets
  • Huge exploration upside with < 5% of property explored
  • Five additional projects identified
  • Low cost entry to a high leverage opportunity
  • Excellent relationship with Traditional Owners
  • Extensive management and exploration experience

West Musgrave

Copper – A Favoured Commodity

4

  • Demand drivers are real: a key ingredient for the economic development of nations such as China
  • China currently accounts for about 40 per cent of global copper consumption. Although growth is slowing, it is now off a much larger base
  • Corporate activity suggests Chinese companies are still confident enough in their own economy e.g. GRAM bid for PanAust (ASX:PNA), Baosteel bid for Aquila (ASX:AQA)
  • US demand improving as economy rebounds and Europe recovering off a low base

Copper Market Fundamentals

  • Long-term copper market fundamentals bode well for timing of Redstone mine development in the West Musgrave
  • Assuming 2.3 per cent global growth over next 10 years, annual copper consumption is expected to grow by more than 7.3 million tonnes (26 per cent)*
  • Over the same period, annual production from existing mines is expected to decline by 3.9 million tonnes (20 per cent)*
  • 11.2 million tonne shortfall will need to be made up by expansions and new projects*

Redstone Resources – Location of Projects

Tollu Project – 16 Prospects

10

  • Redstone's 100% owned Tollu Project is located in the southeast portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia
  • The Tollu Project is approximately 20km south east of the Blackstone Community on the Company's 100% owned tenement E69/2450
  • The Tollu Project consists of a large swarm of hydrothermal copper rich quartz veins in a mineralised system covering an area at least 5km2 . Malachite rich gossans associated with quartz veins are exposed at surface and form part of a dilatational system between two major structures within the Tollu Fault Zone
  • The Tollu Project currently comprises 16 prospects. The initial focus is on:
    • Chatsworth Prospect (former Central Zone Subzone 1)
    • Eastern Reef Prospect (former Eastern Zone)
    • Main Reef Prospect (former Western Zone) and
    • Dawyck Prospect (former Central Zone Subzone 4)

Tollu Project – Exploration Target

Redstone has estimated an Exploration Target to be:

  • 22 to 33 million tonnes of mineralisation at a conceptual grade range of 0.9 1.3% Cu, containing 198,000 to 445,000 tonnes of copper
  • This includes an estimate of 4.3 to 6.4 million tonnes of mineralisation at a conceptual grade range of 1.6 2.4%, containing 69,000 to 154,000 tonnes of copper on the Chatsworth Prospect
Tonnes Tonnes Grade Grade Contained Contained Copper

22,270,000 33,410,000 0.9% 1.3% 198,500 445,000

The potential quantity and grade of the Target is conceptual in nature. It is important to note that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
