QUARTERLY REPORT

For the Period Ending 31 March 2018

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Evaluation activities and planning for the next phase of exploration on the Project undertaken during the Quarter, including for an RC drilling program on prioritised EM targets.
  • Receipt of the requisite Native Vegetation Clearing Permit for drilling of selected EM targets located on E69/2450.
  • Commencement of plate modelling of three priority EM targets for the purpose of aiding drill hole planning in preparation for the 2018 exploration program.
  • Planning underway for a ground based EM survey to further delineate and penetrate deeper around all 11 EM anomalies.
  • Geochemical analysis of EM1A alteration to aid in vectoring in on mineralisation commenced.
  • Receipt in January 2018 of the Company's Development Incentive claim (the R&D Rebate) amount of $255,000. The R & D Rebate will contribute to the Company's capital requirements over the next 12 months in conjunction with future capital raising efforts.

Redstone Resources Limited (ASX Code: RDS) ("Redstone" or the "Company") presents its quarterly report for the period ending 31 March 2018 (the "Quarter").

Redstone's primary focus is the advancement of its 100% owned 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.

The Project is located in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia and comprises 237 square kilometres of highly prospective, underexplored ground just 40km east of the world‐class Nebo‐Babel Ni‐ Cu deposit. The Project has the right geological and structural setting for large magmatic Ni‐Cu sulphide deposits, Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposits, other large intrusive related hydrothermal systems such as porphyry style and hydrothermal Cu ± Au mineralising systems in the West Musgrave.

Tollu 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 within and 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 EM1 target, located approximately 3km east of Tollu, identifying hydrothermal sulphide alteration in a rift related volcanic pile.

Most of the tenement remains underexplored.

WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT

2018 Drilling Program

During the Quarter Redstone commenced plans for evaluation activities and its next phase of exploration, including for a follow up RC drilling program of selected prioritised EM targets proposed to commence in the June 2018 quarter, pending approvals and further capital raising.

As part of this process, the Company undertook further geophysical assessment, including plate modelling of certain priority EM targets to aid drill hole planning in preparation for the 2018 exploration program. These three priority EM targets are located in the northwest, west and east of the Project area.

In addition, planning also commenced for a ground based EM survey to further delineate and penetrate deeper around all 11 EM targets, which will further aid prioritisation of the targets. It will in particular provide further understanding of the nature of the sulphide mineralisation intersected at the highest priority EM1 target at depth.

During the Quarter, the Company applied for, and received, the requisite Native Vegetation Clearing Permit approval to undertake the exploration activities on selected EM targets located on the E69/2450 Project tenement.

Further geochemical examination and analytical work was also undertaken during the Quarter to ascertain the significance of the trace element geochemistry also required for planning the of the June

2018 quarter exploration. This more detailed geochemical analysis is particularly necessary to further assess the significance of the EM1 sulphide body in terms of its spatial relevance to a potential economic mineral system. Given the geology identified by the 2017 drilling of EM1 can be extended across most of Redstone's Project area, the intersection of sulphides at EM1 combined with the high‐grade copper vein mineralisation that continues at Tollu (ASX release 31 October 2017) opens up the potential for Redstone's entire Project to host large economic mineralisation systems.

Next Steps

The Company is currently in the process of undertaking the following activities to further advance the West Musgrave Project, in particular to drill test selected EM targets and better understand the broader mineralised system at the Project:

    1. Finalise geochemical and mineralogical analysis of EM1 alteration to aid in vectoring in on mineralisation, as well as conduct ground geophysics to increase depth penetration of detecting conductive sulphides. Planning and commencing second round of exploration RC drilling of EM1, pending requisite approvals and funding.
    1. Planning for next RC drill program being finalised to drill test selected EM targets geological assessment for prioritisation undertaken and ground geophysics planned to further delineate and increase depth of penetration:
    • Planning underway for next drill program on prioritised EM targets. Requisite Native Vegetation Clearing permit approval received for drilling of prioritised EM targets located on E69/2450; and
    • Plate modelling completed on three priority EM targets.
    1. Develop definitive model of the Tollu Cu‐mineralisation to aid in future drilling for major expansion of resource.
    1. Assess and test for Tollu style mineralisation north and south of Tollu.

CORPORATE

R&D Rebate

In January 2018 the Company received its Research and Development Incentive claim (the R&D Rebate) amount of $255,000. The Company determined the R&D Rebate amount under the Australian Taxation Office's self‐assessment system.

The funds from the R&D Rebate will contribute to the Company's capital requirements over the next 12 months.

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.
