QUARTERLY REPORT

For the Period Ending 30 June 2017

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Airborne electromagnetic (VTEMmax) survey completed.
  • Analysis of VTEMmax survey data shows conductive features of interest at Redstone's 100% owned West Musgrave Project.
  • The size and amplitude of one of the EM anomalies defines a high priority nickel‐copper (Ni‐Cu) sulphide target. The EM anomaly has a strike length of approximately 500 metres.
  • Upcoming follow‐up RC drill program at Forio and at other prioritised targets expanded to include the high priority EM conductor identified by the VTEMmax survey.
  • Planning and permitting for follow‐up exploration completed for commencement of drilling mid‐August 2017.
  • Further geological assessment of the other EM targets is ongoing.

Redstone Resources Limited (ASX Code: RDS) ("Redstone" or the "Company") presents its quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2017 ("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. A large part of the tenement remains underexplored.

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 and 0.01% cobalt, which equates to 535 tonnes of contained cobalt, the mineralised area and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation to increase significantly with further drilling.

TOLLU TENEMENT

During the Quarter the Company completed an airborne EM (VTEMmax) survey at its Tollu tenement as part of its recent West Musgrave Project review.

Analysis of the VTEMmax survey data, acquired on 200m line spacing, supports a high priority magmatic nickel‐copper (Ni‐Cu) sulphide exploration target. The anomaly remains conductive in the 'late time' and is a definitive isolated feature with at least 500m of strike length. Importantly, the EM anomaly occurs in an embayment in an ultramafic rock body interpreted from magnetic geophysical data. This is consistent with magmatic nickel sulphide deposits which are usually highly conductive, and are hosted by mafic and ultramafic rocks.

The location of the priority conductive geophysical target is approximately 2.5 km to the north west of the Tollu Project (Figure 1). It is positioned on the south east margin of a magnetic feature, interpreted to be ultramafic rocks proximal to a regional east‐west oriented fault.

The EM anomaly has been prioritised as a significant target, and as such, Redstone has brought forward testing the EM anomaly into its upcoming drill program The initial follow‐up RC program of 3,000m for drilling of the Forio prospect and other priority targets has now been expanded to 4,000m to include the EM conductor identified by the recent VTEM survey.

During the Quarter the Company completed heritage surveys and applied for all Program of Works and Native Vegetation Clearing permit approvals required for its upcoming drilling program, including for drilling of the area over the recently identified priority EM target. The Company has since received all requisite approvals and mobilisation for the revised RC drill program of 4,000m is expected to commence in the next two weeks.
