WEST MUSGRAVES

Tollu Project (E69/2450 – 100% Redstone)

The Tollu project is part of a 200 km2 exploration licence held by Redstone. The focus of Redstone's exploration is a giant swarm of hydrothermal copper rich veins in a mineralised system covering an area of at least 6km2 and forming part of a dilation system between two major shears. The mineralisation at surface comprises malachite, tenorite and azurite. High grade copper sulphide mineralisation was discovered in April 2010 following RC drilling to test at depth; part of the Central Zone of the vein swarm. Three holes intercepted high-grade massive copper sulphide mineralisation (see ASX releases of 21 June 2010 and 28 June 2010).

During the half year period ending 31 December 2010, Redstone completed geophysics surveys (electromagnetic and induced polarisation) and a reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme.

An electromagnetic (EM) survey was conducted over part of the mineralised system which included surface and downhole surveys. Several conductors were identified.

A limited induced polarisation survey (Dipole–Dipole) was conducted over part of the major North-South Tollu shear. Three chargeable anomalies were identified.

A programme of RC drilling commenced at Tollu in November 2010. The programme was focussed on:

  • increasing the depth and strike length of the copper sulphide mineralisation in the Central Zone.
  • testing the geophysical targets identified from the EM survey and IP surveys.
  • testing at depth a large low grade copper oxide halo with coincident EM and IP anomalies adjacent to the major North-South Tollu shear. The oxide mineralisation was previously identified by a shallow RAB and RC drilling programme conducted in 2008.

The drilling intersected further significant copper sulphide mineralisation over a 210m strike at the Central Zone.

ACN 090 169 154

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Assay results included:

  • TLC 020: 12m @ 2.7% Cu from 187m including 7m @ 3.8% from 191m;
  • TLC 032: 8m @ 3.4% Cu from 57m including 4m @ 5.3% from 60m and 7m @ 2.5% Cu from 101m;
  • TLC 031: 9m @ 2.8% Cu from from 127m; and
  • TLC 034: 13m @ 1.5% Cu from 137m

Copper sulphide mineralisation at the Central Zone has been extended to over 200m strike length to a depth of 253m, and remains open along strike to the southeast and open at depth, highlighting the potential to increase the size of the mineralised body.

Results are pending for one hole (TLC 042) which was drilled within the Tollu shear zone. The hole encountered but did not fully penetrate the target, however visible copper sulphide (chalcopyrite) mineralisation was intersected over the last 3 metres and is open at depth.

The massive copper sulphide, gabbro-related mineralisation at Tollu is interpreted as the shallow and distal part of a large copper-nickel sulphide system. The presence of cobalt values of up to 1931 ppm is a strong indicator for an association with nickel.

The Tollu copper mineralisation (chalcopyrite and bornite) is comparable to the copper-rich (chalcopyrite and bornite) veins adjacent to the world-class Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Canada.

Baggaley Hills (E69/2053, E69/2054, E69/2339, E69/2340, E69/2249 and E69/2200) – HJH Nominees Pty Ltd earning 80%

During the half year period ending 31 December 2010, Redstone's farmin partner completed induced polarisation (IP) surveys (Gradient Array, Dipole-Dipole and Pole-Dipole surveys) at the Baggaley Hills project. The IP method is suitable for the detection of disseminated sulphides such as pyrite, pyrrhotite and pentlandite.

The Baggaley Hills project is prospective for both Ni-Cu-PGE and Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralisation. Several areas within the project have been identified as high priority targets based upon geochemical, magnetic and gravity signatures and IP surveys have been commissioned at three of these targets – Antlion, Area 6 and Area 7.

The IP surveys at the Antlion [PGE-Cu-(Ni)] prospect identified a number of anomalous zones of higher chargeability, which may provide a vector towards sulphide mineralisation. Initially, gradient array IP surveys were completed over anomalous [PGE-Cu-(Ni)] geochemical areas. Dipole-dipole IP survey lines were then completed over anomalous gradient array results to determine the depth of the sources of chargeability anomalies.

During the period, planning was completed for a 6,000m RC drilling programme to test the Antlion chargeability anomalies and the targets at the Area 6 and Area 7 prospects.

BRAZIL

Aneba (Potash) and Apui (Phosphate) Projects

Termination of MBAC Sale and Joint Venture Agreement

On 15 September 2010 Redstone and MBAC entered into an agreement concerning the Aneba and Apui Projects (at that time owned 35% by MBAC and 65% by the Entity), whereby Redstone will transfer to MBAC (or subsidiary thereof) for nil consideration a 100% interest in four tenements forming part of the Aneba Project, namely 880240/2007, 880241/2007, 880658/2008 and 880659/2008 (Transferred Aneba Tenements).

Upon transfer of Redstone's 65% interest in the Transferred Aneba Tenements to MBAC, MBAC relinquished its 35% interest in the remaining Aneba tenements and the Apui Project, to give Redstone 100% ownership and/or rights to these tenements. Redstone was also granted a 1% net smelter return royalty with respect to proceeds of any future commercial production from the Transferred Aneba Tenements.

Redstone continues to pursue opportunities to sell and/or joint venture these Projects.

Trombetas (Potash) Project

Trombetas Sale Agreement

On 29 June 2010, the Entity entered into an option agreement (Agreement) for the divestment of 100% interest in its Brazil Potash (Trombetas) Project tenements for a total consideration of $450,000 (Purchase Price). The consideration included a $100,000 non refundable Option Fee, which provides the purchaser with an option to 31 October 2010 to purchase the Project on the terms set out in the Agreement.

Within 30 days of exercise of the Option to purchase the Project (the Settlement Date), the purchaser was required to pay the $350,000 balance of consideration which was comprised as follows:

• $100,000 cash; and

• $250,000 by allotment and issue, or transfer to Redstone of shares (Shares) in a company to be nominated by the purchaser, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), the Shares to have a value of $250,000 based on the volume weighted average market price for Shares, calculated over the five days on which sales in the Shares are recorded on ASX before the day on which the issue is made.

ACN 090 169 154

DIRECTORS' REPORT

However in November 2010, various terms of the Agreement were varied, such that within 30 days of exercise the Option to purchase the Project the purchaser was required to pay $100,000 cash and the $250,000 balance of consideration be paid on the Settlement Date, being a date mutually agreed by the parties but in any event no later than 90 days after the date of the exercise notice.

The varied terms enabled the purchaser an election to satisfy the payment of the $250,000 on Settlement by the allotment and issue of Shares or in cash. Further, the purchaser would procure Redstone an option to subscribe for shares in the purchaser worth $250,000 at the same price offered to the public or its shareholders, subject to the purchaser's Shares being listed within 12 months of the Deed of Variation.

Settlement of the Trombetas Agreement occurred on 18 February 2011 by payment of $250,000 cash by the purchaser to Redstone.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

1. Corporate Information

The financial report of Redstone Resources Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 16 March 2011.

Redstone Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares commenced public trading on the Australian Stock Exchange on 3 August 2006.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described on pages 2 to 5 in the Directors' Report.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Entity as the full financial report.

This half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Redstone Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2010.

It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Redstone Resources during the half- year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

a) Basis of Accounting

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.

For the purposes of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

Significant Accounting Policies

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010.

The Entity has reviewed all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. It has been determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, and therefore no change is required to the Entity's accounting policies.

The Entity has also reviewed all new standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2010. As a result of this review, the Director's have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and therefore, no change necessary in the Company's accounting policies.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

b) Basis of Consolidation

The half-year consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Redstone Resources Limited and its controlled entities as at 31 December 2010 ("the Entity or Group") - refer note 9.

c) Going Concern

The half-year financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuation of business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As at 31 December 2010 the Entity has cash on hand of $3,761,342. Based on the Entity's projected cash flows this will be sufficient for the Entity to continue its projected activities until at least March 2012.

ACN 090 169 154

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

NOTE 3: DIVIDENDS

The Entity has not declared or paid a dividend during the half-year ended 31 December 2010.

NOTE 4: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Entity has two operating segments being mineral exploration in the geographical segments of Australia and South America (the Entity's primary basis of segmentation).

The Entity had identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that were reviewed and used by management and the Board of Directors in determining the allocation of resources.

The results for the operating segments have been aggregated on the basis that they have the same economic characteristics.

NOTE 5: DEFERRED EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to exploration expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the areas of interest at an amount at least equal to the carrying value.

During the half year ended 31 December 2009 the Entity wrote off deferred exploration expenditure assets totalling $1,278,506 relating to tenements surrendered subsequent to the end of the half-year period.

No deferred exploration assets were treated as impaired during the half year ended 31 December 2010.

NOTE 6: CAPITAL AND EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE COMMITMENTS

Exploration expenditure commitments

Australian tenements

In order to maintain current rights of tenure over its Australian mineral tenement leases, the Entity will be required to outlay amounts in respect of rent and to meet minimum expenditure requirements of the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP). Further, those tenements for which access agreements have been signed require annual access payments to be paid to the traditional owners.

The annual expenditure commitments, including access payments, on granted tenements as at 31 December 2010 amounted to $371,000 (excluding joint venture tenements).

The future exploration commitment (including access costs) of the Entity relating to tenements to their expiry is as follows:
