WEST MUSGRAVE
WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT LOCATION
During the Half-year Redstone held an interest in one exploration licence E69/2450 in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia (the “ West Musgrave Project ” or “ Project ”) and includes the Company’s 100% owned Tollu Copper project (“ Tollu ”). The Project also now includes a surrounding tenement (E69/3456) applied for in July 2016, which was granted on 14 August 2017. The Project is prospective for major copper and nickel-copper mineralisation. The tenement and Project location is shown on Figures 1 and 2 .

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Redstone’s primary focus is the advancement of its 100% owned West Musgrave 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 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 , the mineralised area and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation, to increase significantly with further drilling.
In 2017 the Company 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.
During the Half-year the Company completed 4,377m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling on the Project.
TOLLU COPPER PROJECT (REDSTONE 100%)
The RC drilling program undertaken on Tollu in the September 2017 quarter included 19 holes for 3,234m on follow-up targets from the 2015 RC drilling program ( Figure 3 ). The drilling completed at Tollu focused on the Forio Prospect ( Forio ) and additional Induced Polarity ( IP ) geophysical targets identified from the 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 returned a number of high grade and broad copper intersections, including 1m at 11.9% (TLC153), 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 are being assessed further to establish the next phase of exploration.

Figure 3 – Tollu Project 2017 Drill Hole Location Map
The drilling 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 4 ). The results demonstrate the potential to define additional copper lodes within the Tollu Project area.
The assay results from the Tollu drilling program has proven that sulphide copper mineralisation within the Forio Prospect runs for a strike length of approximately 800m north and south and extends from the surface remaining open at depth. The deepest hole drilled through the veins continued to intersect significant copper mineralisation at 149m downhole ( Table 1 ). The thickness and concentration of copper at this depth suggests that the mineralisation has the potential to continue to over 360m deep (true depth), as it does at the Chatsworth prospect. With the second highest grade single metre intersection ever recorded on the Project, 11.9% from 31m (TLC153) ( Figure 5 ), the 2017 drilling confirms that the copper mineralisation at Forio is comparable to previous high grades intersected elsewhere at Tollu.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The drilling has also confirmed mineralisation in the parallel Killruddery prospect and revealed anomalous Pb-Zn-Ag-Au values ( TLC161 ) from another mineralised vein located further to the east. These results are considered highly encouraging in light of the two of eleven recently identified EM anomalies that are located directly to the north and along strike of the Tollu structural corridor ( Figure 6 ). These targets, which are yet to be tested, may be extensions of the Tollu Cu vein system and further highlights the potential of the Tollu mineralising system in the broader Project area ( Figure 6 ).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
EM TARGET 1A
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 7 ). This included the highest priority Target EM1A (“ EM1A ”), which was drill tested in the RC drill program undertaken during the September 2017 quarter. Most of the EM targets are positioned proximal to structural features and two of these targets are along strike, north and south, of Tollu ( Figure 6 ). These latter two targets have been prioritised for immediate drill testing.
The RC drilling program included five holes for 1,184m drilled into the EM Target 1A ( Figure 8 ). The drill holes into EM1A ranged from 199m to 300m in depth.

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).
The EM1A target is situated approximately 3km to the north west of Redstone’s Tollu 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 9 ). EM1A was defined by an isolated late time 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).

Figure 8 – EM Target 1A Drill Location Map
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.
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 9 ). 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).
The geochemical assay results from the 5m composite sampling of the drilling at EM1A were also returned during the Half-year. The results confirm the observations outlined above.

ACN 090 169 154
REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Given the geology identified by the drilling of EM1A can be extended across most of Redstone’s Project area, the intersection of sulphides at EM1A 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.
Anomalous Pb-Zn-Ag-Au values intersected at Tollu in the most recent drilling highlights the potential for the copper veins at Tollu to have a regional significance for exploration on Redstone’s Project. Given Tollu is proof that mineralising fluids have been associated with the regional structures within the Project, combined with the successful identification of sulphides by the recent EM survey, all 10 other EM anomalies have been upgraded to drill targets pending further geological assessment.

This half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Redstone Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017.
It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half- year ended 31 December 2017 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Significant Accounting Policies
The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.
The Entity has reviewed all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2017. It has been determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, and therefore no change is required to the Entity’s accounting policies.
The Entity has also reviewed all new standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half-year ended 31 December 2017. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and therefore, no change necessary in the Entity’s accounting policies.
Going Concern
The Entity recorded a loss of $116,668 for the half-year ended 31 December 2017 and as at 31 December 2017 had net current asset deficiency of $366,960 and exploration and operating commitments for the following 12 months to 31 December 2017 of $40,300 (note 7). Although these matters are indicative of a material uncertainty, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are of the opinion that the Entity will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. The Directors contemplate continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
This continuity of normal business activities is supported by plans to undertake and complete a capital raising in the near future, as demonstrated by successful capital raisings in the recent past. The entity has recently engaged Ozfinancial Pty Ltd for this purpose with funds proposed to be raised to be used to fund operations and exploration for the medium to long term. In January 2018 the Entity also a received a Research and Development Tax Incentive ( the R&D Rebate ) of $255,000 in relation to the 2017 financial year, which will contribute to short term funding requirements. Additionally, director and director related party creditors (Note 6: $562,057 as at 31 December 2017) currently have no set date of repayment and have agreed to defer payment until sufficient funding is available for the Entity.
3. Dividends
The Entity has not declared or paid a dividend during the half-year ended 31 December 2017.
4. Segment Information
The Entity has one operating segment being mineral exploration in Australia.
The accounting policies used by the Entity in reporting segments are the same as those in the prior period.

5. Deferred Exploration Expenditure
The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to exploration expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the areas of interest at an amount at least equal to the carrying value.
Of the $6,274,174 carrying value, $6,268,174 relates to the net deferred exploration spend incurred on the West Musgrave Project tenement (E69/2450) to 31 December 2017. The balance of $6,000 relates to application fees incurred for the Milyuga tenement of 36 blocks (E69/3456), which is located adjacent to and surrounding the E69/2450 tenement.

7. Capital and Exploration Expenditure Commitments (Continued)
Capital Commitments
The Entity does not have any capital commitments as at balance date.
Operating lease – corporate office premises
The Entity is leasing office premises for a gross rent inclusive of car bay of $4,300 per month. As of 30 June 2015 the Entity has been holding over on a monthly tenancy on the same rental terms and conditions, although this is subject to rate review if deemed appropriate. Such rental rate review may not result in an increase of 10% unless otherwise agreed between the parties. The monthly tenancy may be terminated by either party giving at least one month’s written notice to the other party.
On 31 July 2015, the Entity entered into a two year operating lease for storage premises at an annual rental of $21,000 plus variable outgoings plus GST. The lease agreement terminated on 30 November 2017.
| Cancellable operating lease commitments for exploration tenements Within one year One year or later and no later than five years Later than five years |

|---|---|
| 4,300 6,050 |
8. Contingent Assets and Liabilities
Foreign Subsidiary Obligations
During the 2014 financial year, the Entity recognised a provision for foreign subsidiary obligations relating to estimated amounts that may be required to settle outstanding obligations arising from a winding-up of the Entity’s investment in its Brazilian subsidiary, Redstone Mineraco Do Brasil Ltd ( Redstone Brazil ).
However, as at 30 June 2015, the Entity considered that it was more likely that a present obligation no longer existed for any of these amounts and that it was more likely that no economic outflow would be required. Further the timing and amount of any potential economic outflow is uncertain. Accordingly, there may be a contingent liability for potential obligations required to be paid in any eventual winding up of Redstone Brazil for which the timing is uncertain and amount cannot be measured reliably.
The Company had no other contingent assets or liabilities as at 31 December 2017.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF REDSTONE RESOURCES LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of Redstone Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of matter – material uncertainty related to going concern
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(d) in the financial report (which describes the principal conditions that raise doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern). These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1(d), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Directors’ responsibility for the half year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagement ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including; giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
25
As the auditor of the Company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
