QUARTERLY REPORT

For the Period Ending 30 September 2016

Redstone Resources Limited (ASX Code: RDS) ("Redstone" or "the Company") presents its quarterly report for the period ending 30 September 2016 ("the Quarter").

Redstone's primary focus is the advancement of the Tollu Project ("Tollu" or the "Project"), 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 initial JORC 2012 resource of 3.8 million tonnes at 1% Cu, containing 38,000 tonnes of copper, including 8,000 tonnes of Cu oxide resource, the mineralised area and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation to increase significantly with further drilling.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES

  • Planning underway for follow‐up drilling at Forio and at four of the identified Forio analogues, which have been elevated in priority for further testing, with a proposed RC drilling program comprising 53 holes for a total of 8,000m.
  • Commenced evaluation and near‐term development considerations of the Company's Cu oxide resource, following from the success of the 2015 drilling program.
  • Continued focus on fundraising options to support the proposed follow‐up RC drilling program at the Tollu Project and for working capital requirements.
  • Preparation commenced during the Quarter for a refundable Research and Development Tax Incentive claim (the R&D Rebate) in relation to the 2016 financial year. The R&D Rebate, which is anticipated to be lodged in the December quarter, will be determined under the ATO self‐ assessment system.

TOLLU PROJECT

Follow‐up RC Drilling at Tollu and Cu‐Oxide Development

The Company has progressed plans for a systematic follow‐up RC drilling program at Tollu, focusing on the Forio and Forio Deeps Prospect ("Forio") and a further four of the identified Forio analogues, namely the Forio South, Stourhead, Exbury and Killruddery Prospects (Figure 1), which have been elevated in priority for further testing following a full data review and the 2015 drilling results.

The initial phase of a follow‐up RC drilling program (Program) has been planned to commence upon availability of funding. This program will comprise 53 RC holes for a total of approximately 8,000m. The aim of the Program is to test veins hosting near surface copper mineralisation on Tollu prospects displaying minimal surface expression analogous to the mineralisation identified at the Forio Prospect from the 2015 drilling campaign. It is envisaged that further drilling will increase the Cu oxide potential at the Tollu Project.

In addition, deeper holes have been planned to test mineralisation at Forio, at depths between 50m and 250m below surface, and to potentially extend mineralisation of Forio Deeps to below 250m.

The Company's exploration strategy is initially focused on increasing the Cu oxide resource to enable a near term development pathway for the Tollu Project, which will then be followed by evaluation of the deeper high grade sulphide resources.

During the Quarter, the Company commenced evaluation of low cost processing options for the oxide ores including by cementation, precipitation by sodium hydrosulphide or glycine leach. This evaluation has also included discussions with potential JV partners.
