QUARTERLY REPORT

For the Period Ending 30 September 2015

The Board of Redstone Resources Limited (ASX Code: RDS) ("Redstone" or "the Company") presents its quarterly report for the period ending 30 September 2015 ("the Quarter").

Redstone's primary focus is the Tollu Project which is located in the southeast portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia. This Project hosts a giant swarm of hydrothermal copper rich veins in a mineralised system covering an area at least 5km2 . Copper mineralisation is exposed at the surface and forms part of a dilation system between two major shears. Redstone expects the Project's mineralised area and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation to increase significantly with further drilling.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Development and preparation of a circa 8,000m RC drilling programme on the Tollu Copper Project, which includes;
    • drilling to target near surface oxide potential;
    • potential to significantly expand global exploration target;
    • to develop our geological understanding of the Tollu mineralised system; and
    • potential for a maiden copper JORC resource, an expected outcome.
  • Programme of Works approval received;
  • Native Vegetation Clearing Permit received;
  • Receipt and review of drilling contractor tenders, with award of drilling contract imminent;
  • Continued promotional and fundraising activities; and
  • Receipt of Research and Development tax offset claim of $1.0 million.

TOLLU PROJECT

Key activities undertaken by the Company during the Quarter include development and preparation of a drilling programme (the Programme) to commence in early November 2015. The proposed Programme includes completing circa 8,000 metres of RC drilling, specifically targeting the near‐surface oxide potential of the Tollu Project. This programme will also improve the Company's understanding of the mineralised system and inform future exploration methodologies.

One of the expected outcomes for the Programme is the delivery of a maiden (JORC) copper resource for the Tollu Project. It is also proposed to include some targeted, deep diamond drilling as part of the Programme, however this – as well as the extent of any additional exploration activities or RC drilling – is dependent on the completion of funding initiatives.

The Company has identified a number of prospective targets ready for drilling at the Tollu Project, with the Programme designed to further develop the Company's exploration methodologies as follows:

    1. Shallow RC drilling campaign: Targeting near surface hydrothermal copper (oxide and sulphide) mineralisation. The main activity will be concentrated on the known higher‐grade zones at the Chatsworth, Main Reef and Eastern Reef prospects within the Tollu Project. The primary purpose will be the validation of the Tollu mineralised system. The delivery of a maiden (JORC) copper resource is an expected outcome, the size of which will depend on the amount of any further funding.
    1. Diamond (NQ) drilling campaign: Targeting deeper high‐grade hydrothermal copper mineralisation. There is also an opportunity to significantly expand the size of the conceptual exploration target that presently exists at the Tollu Project, applying the new exploration methodologies developed by the Company.

Redstone aims to complete the RC drilling and fieldwork component of the Programme by the end of December 2015 and will release drill assay results as they become available.

Programme of Works and Native Vegetation Clearing Permits

Other key activities completed in August and September 2015 in preparation for the Programme include the receipt of the requisite Programme of Works approval and Native Vegetation Clearing Permits from the Department of Mines and Petroleum.

Drilling contract award

During the Quarter the Company received and reviewed a number of tenders from preferred drilling contractors.

The Company has identified a preferred drilling contractor for the upcoming drilling and exploration activities on the Tollu Project. Award of the contract is imminent and drilling is planned to commence as soon as possible in November.

BLACKSTONE RANGE PROJECT

Applications for Forfeiture and Objection to Exemption Applications Dismissed

During the 2014 financial year Applications for Forfeiture (the Plaints) on the Blackstone Range Project tenements (E69/2108 and E69/2109) (the ELs) were lodged in the Wardens Court by Blackstone Exploration Pty Ltd in relation to the expenditure years ending 27 April 2013 and 27 April 2014 (collectively the 2013 and 2014 Expenditure Years). These Plaints were dismissed by order of the Warden on 31 July 2015.

Further, the Company lodged applications for exemption from expenditure for the ELs for the 2013 and 2014 Expenditure Years, which were subject to objections by Blackstone Exploration Pty Ltd. The application for exemption for the 2013 Expenditure Year was before the Mining Warden during the year, however on 31 July 2015 the Mining Warden also dismissed the objection applications by Blackstone Exploration Pty Ltd for both the 2013 and 2014 Expenditure Years.

Extension of Term

The Blackstone Range Project tenements (E69/2108 and E69/2109) were due to expire on 27 April 2015, however extension of term applications for a further one year period to 27 April 2016 were granted during the Quarter.

CORPORATE

Resignation of Director – Mr Clinton Wolf

On 7 September 2015, Mr Clinton Wolf resigned as a non‐executive director the Company.

$1.0m R&D Rebate

In July 2015, the Company received a Research and Development tax offset of approximately $1.0 million ("the R&D Rebate"). Funds from the R&D Rebate will make a significant contribution to the Company's capital requirements over the next 12 months.

Funding and Capital Raising Activities

During the Quarter, the Company continued its focus on fundraising and promotional activities for the purpose of commencing the Programme and developing the Tollu Copper Project, whilst continuing to minimise costs.

TOLLU PROJECT BACKGROUND

Tollu Project (Redstone 100%)

Redstone's 100% owned Tollu Project is located in the southeast portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Tollu Project is approximately 20km southeast of the Blackstone Community on Company's 100% owned tenement E69/2450 (Figure 2).

The Tollu Project consists of a large swarm of hydrothermal copper‐rich quartz veins in a mineralised system covering an area of at least 5 square kilometres. 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 has a conceptual exploration target (the Target) in the range of 22‐33 million tonnes of mineralisation at a conceptual grade range of 0.9‐1.3% copper. The initial focus is on the Chatsworth, Eastern Reef, Main Reef and Dawyck prospects.

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 resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Redstone Resources Ltd (ASX: RDS) is a Perth‐based company focused on highly prospective copper exploration properties in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia.

Redstone's 100% owned Tollu Project is located in the south‐east portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia. 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 has a Conceptual Exploration Target estimated to be 22 to 33 million tonnes of mineralisation at a conceptual grade range of 0.9 ‐ 1.3% Cu. This includes 4.3 to 6.4 million tonnes of mineralisation at a conceptual grade range of 1.6 – 2.4% on the Chatsworth Prospect.

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.
