QUARTERLY REPORT
For the Period Ending 30 September 2017
HIGHLIGHTS
-
A total of 4,377m of RC drilling completed on Redstone’s Tollu Copper vein system (“ Tollu ”) and the high priority EM conductor Target 1A, approximately 10% more than planned.
-
The RC drilling program included 5 holes for 1,143m into EM Target 1A, recently identified by an airborne EM (VTEM max ) survey, and 19 holes for 3,234m predominantly targeting the Forio vein on Tollu.
-
All 5 RC holes completed on EM Target 1A intersected zones of disseminated pyrite and specular hematite, some over 200m (downhole), in a sequence of volcanic rocks.
-
The northern‐most hole, RWMEM1_5 intersected disseminated sulphide for over 210m (downhole).
-
The presence of large volumes of sulphides may represent added exploration potential outside of the known Cu mineralisation at Tollu, highlighting the potential for a large mineralised system on the West Musgrave Project.
-
Initial multi element geochemical assay results for the Tollu drilling have been received, including 1m at 11.9% (TLC153), the second highest Cu grade ever intersected on the Project (ASX release of 31 October 2017).
Significant Copper Intercepts
-
14m at 3.25% Cu from 27m (TLC153), which includes:
-
4m at 6.45% Cu from 28m , inclusive of 1m at 11.9% from 31m; and
-
5m at 3.2% Cu from 35m .
-
4m at 4.54% Cu from 58m , including 1m at 6.56% Cu from 59m (TLC153).

The intersection of sulphides at Target EM1A validates all other identified EM targets on the Project as potential large sulphide mineralisation systems.
Redstone Resources Limited ( ASX Code: RDS ) (“ Redstone ” or the “ Company ”) presents its quarterly report for the period ending 30 September 2017 (“ the Quarter ”).
Redstone’s primary focus is the advancement of the West Musgrave Project (the “Project ”), which includes the Tollu Copper vein project (“ Tollu ”), located in the southeast portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia.
Tollu hosts a giant swarm of hydrothermal copper rich veins in a mineralised system covering an area at least 5km[2] . Copper mineralisation is exposed at the surface and forms part of a dilation system between two major shears.
Redstone expects the initial JORC 2012 resource at Tollu of 3.8 million tonnes at 1% Cu, containing 38,000
tonnes of copper, and 0.01% cobalt, which equates to 535 tonnes of contained cobalt (ASX release 15 June 2016 and 1 May 2017), the mineralised area, and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation to increase significantly with further drilling.
The Company recently completed a detailed ground‐up review of the project geology incorporating the historic geological, geochemical and geophysical dataset. This review identified the suitability of the electromagnetic (EM) geophysical method for identifying potential targets and the company subsequently completed an airborne EM ( VTEMmax ) survey in April 2017. This survey identified 11 priority targets, with the recently drilled high priority EM1A target, located approximately 3km east of Tollu, identifying sulphide rich volcanoclastics.
Most of the tenement remains underexplored.
WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT
During the Quarter the Company completed 4,377m of Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling on Redstone’s 100% owned Project.

TOLLU
The RC drilling program undertaken in the Quarter included 19 holes for 3,234m on follow‐up targets from the 2015 RC drilling program ( Figure 1 ). The drilling completed at Tollu focused on the Forio Prospect ( Forio ) and additional Induced Polarity ( IP ) geophysical targets identified as part of the recent project review on Forio analogues. Drill holes at Tollu ranged from 75m to 250m in depth. Geological logging indicated the presence of chalcopyrite associated with quartz veins at Forio in a number of holes.
Initial multi element geochemical assay results for the Tollu drilling have now been received and have returned a number of high grade and broad copper intersections, including 1m at 11.9% (TLC 153), the second highest grade ever intersected at Tollu. These significant assay results include:
Significant Copper Intercepts
-
14m at 3.25% Cu from 27m (TLC153), which includes:
-
4m at 6.45% Cu from 28m, inclusive of 1m at 11.9% from 31m; and
-
5m at 3.2% Cu from 35m.
-
4m at 4.54% Cu from 58m, including 1m at 6.56% Cu from 59m (TLC153).
-
5m at 1.16% from 114m, including 1m at 3.12% from 115m (TLC154).
-
2m at 3.3% from 57m, including 1m at 4.2% from 58m (TLC163).
-
29m at 0.53% from 219m (TLC164), which includes:
-
1m at 2.31% from 221m; and
-
4m at 1.4% from 237m.
-
3m at 1.13% from 146m, including 1m at 2.58% from 147m (TLC165).
-
6m at 1.1% from 58m (TLC148).
These results will be assessed further to establish the next phase of exploration.

The drilling has confirmed the Forio prospect as a third mineralised system in proximity to, and as significant as, the previously identified Chatsworth and Eastern Reef prospects ( Figure 2 ). The results demonstrate the potential to define additional copper lodes within the Tollu Project area.
The drilling has also confirmed mineralisation in the parallel Killruddery prospect and revealed anomalous Pb‐Zn‐Ag‐Au values from another mineralised vein located further to the east. This highlights the potential of the Tollu mineralising system in conjunction with the recently identified EM targets in the broader Project area.

EM TARGET 1A
Five holes for 1,184m were also drilled into the EM Target 1A (“ EM1A ”), a high priority electromagnetic ( EM ) conductor anomaly identified from a recently completed EM ( VTEMmax ) survey (ASX release of 29 June 2017). Drill holes into EM1A ranged from 199m to 300m in depth.

Figure 3 – EM Target 1A Drill Location Map
The EM1A target is situated approximately 3km to the north west of Redstone’s Tollu Copper Project. The initial 5 hole drill program defined an extensive occurrence of disseminated sulphide mineralisation (predominantly pyrite) including specular haematite of at least 100m thick and over 400m in strike length and remains open ( Figure 4 ). EM1A was defined by an isolated late time electromagnetic (EM) anomaly and was modelled as a 25[o] north dipping plate with a depth extent of 145m and strike extent of 685m (refer ASX release of 2 August 2017 for further information and Table 1).
The five RC holes were drilled into the modelled plate at a 60 degree angle to the south, three central to the plate along strike 200m apart, and two targeting the plate approximately 50m to the north and south of the central drill hole. All drill holes intersected sulphides, continuously for at least 100m downhole, starting from between 79‐92m downhole depth. The northern‐most hole, RWMEM1_5 intersected disseminated pyrite over 210m downhole, from 87m through to the end of hole at 300m. The zone of alteration and sulphide mineralisation identified remains open in all strike directions.

High priority conductive targets shown in pink and orange. Lower priority targets shown in green. 1A target area within red square, inset on left showing conductor with flight lines (200m apart).
Geological logging indicates a pile of alternating mafic and felsic volcanic rock with occasional feldspar porphyry intercalated with layers of volcaniclastic breccia of mixed mafic and felsic clasts ( Figure 5 ). There is an increase in concentration of sulphides related to the breccia unit. The sulphides occur as disseminations in breccia matrix, as stringer veinlets and as minor stockwork in the zones of highest sulphide concentrations which were visually estimated at up to 7% pyrite (outside this zone <1% pyrite).
Results of multi‐element geochemical analysis of drill samples at EM1A are pending, and any defined pathfinder elements will be used to assess the potential of this newly defined target.

Airborne EM (VTEMmax) Survey Results and Target EM1A
In August 2017, the Company completed analysis of the final data from the airborne EM ( VTEMmax ) survey previously undertaken on the Project. The results identified three high priority targets and eight lower priority targets requiring follow‐up exploration ( Figure 4 ). This included the highest priority Target EM1A, which was drill tested in the RC drill program during the Quarter (see above). Most of the EM targets are positioned proximal to structural features and two of these targets are along strike, north and south, of Tollu. These latter two targets have been prioritised for immediate drill testing.
Tenement Grant
Tenement application E69/3456 applied for in July 2016 was granted on 14 August 2017.
Exploration Incentive Scheme Co-funded Drilling Grant
During the year Redstone applied for a West Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant (Round 15) to co‐fund drilling at the Tollu Cu Project.

ASX: RDS
==> picture [48 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
During the Quarter the Company was awarded the co‐funding grant (applicable to 30 June 2018) up to the value of $200,000, to assist with a single deep drill hole of approximately 1,000m at the Chatsworth Prospect ( Figure 6 ) on Tollu. The deep drill hole has been designed to test the transition of Cu‐only hydrothermal mineralisation to a potential primary, magmatic Cu‐Ni‐(Co) mineralisation at depth and has the potential to considerably increase the copper resource at Tollu.

ABOUT REDSTONE RESOURCES
Redstone Resources Limited ( ASX: RDS ) 100% owned Tollu Copper Project (“ Tollu ”), part of the Company’s broader West Musgrave Project (the “ Project ”), is located in the southeast portion of the prospective West Musgrave region of Western Australia. The Project is located central to the Cassini Resources Nebo Babel prospect to the West and the Metals X Ltd Wingellina Ni‐Co project to the East.
The Company has identified copper prospects at the Chatsworth, Eastern Reef and more recently Forio at Tollu, highlighting the potential for multiple high grade hydrothermal copper lodes proximal to the main Tollu fault.
The Company recently completed a detailed ground‐up review of the project geology incorporating the historic geological, geochemical and geophysical dataset. This review identified the suitability of the electromagnetic (EM) geophysical method for identifying potential targets and the company subsequently completed an airborne EM ( VTEMmax ) survey in April 2017.
This survey identified 11 priority targets, with the recently drilled high priority EM1A target, located 3.5km east of Tollu, identifying sulphide rich volcanoclastics. The preliminary multi‐element geochemistry results from this drilling are pending in the December 2017 quarter.
