ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 30 July 2021

QUARTERLY REPORT

For the Period Ending 30 June 2021

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Continued planning and preparation for a targeted reverse circulation ( RC ) drilling and exploration programme (the Programme ) at Redstone’s 100% owned West Musgrave Copper Project.

  • The Programme is anticipated to comprise at least 6,000m of follow up RC drilling at the EM5 Target and lookalike magnetic anomalies, the Tollu Copper Vein project, the historical 1957 SWM drillhole prospective for Nickel and other identified prospective Target Areas related to the Tollu fault.

  • Approvals and permits required for the Programme were completed early during the Quarter and the Programme is ready for commencement of drilling pending availability of a staffed RC drill rig.

  • Significant delays to commencement of Programme drilling have been encountered due to the current high demand for, and unavailability of, RC drill rigs. However the Company continues to be in discussions with a number of drilling companies as to their potential availability for possible commencement of drilling this quarter.

  • Assay results for the follow up sonic drilling completed in April at the HanTails Gold Tailings Project ( HanTails ), to assess sample integrity from aircore and auger drilling previously completed, are still pending. These results are anticipated to be available for analysis in the coming weeks.

  • Continued review and assessment of various project opportunities.

Redstone Resources Limited ( ASX: RDS ) ( Redstone or the Company ) presents its quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2021 (the Quarter ).

WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT

Redstone’s 100% owned West Musgrave Project (the West Musgrave Project ) which includes the Tollu Copper Vein project ( Tollu ), is located in the southeast portion of the West Musgrave region of Western Australia. The West Musgrave Project has the right geological and structural setting for large magmatic Ni‐Cu sulphide deposits just 40km east of the world‐class Nebo‐Babel Ni‐Cu deposit.

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 (ASX release 15 June 2016 and 1 May 2017), the mineralised area, and the volume of hydrothermal mineralisation, to increase with further drilling.

Geological interpretation suggests that the West Musgrave Project may also be prospective for Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposits, large continental type Molybdenum (Mo)‐porphyry deposits, strata‐bound Gold (Au)‐ Silver (Ag) deposits, Tin (Sn) – Tungsten (W) mineralisation related to granites, granite stockworks or greissens, intrusion related polymetallic veining and Intrusion Related Gold deposits (IRG).

WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT – JUNE 2021 QUARTER ACTIVITIES

During the Quarter, the Company continued planning for its upcoming drilling and exploration programme (the Programme ) on the Company’s 100% owned West Musgrave Project.

The Programme is planned to comprise approximately 6,000m of follow up RC drilling at the:

  • EM5 electromagnetic (EM) Target and two look alike magnetic anomalies;

  • Tollu Copper Vein deposit ‐ to drill deeper and north of the Chatsworth Prospect and deeper and wider at the Forio Prospect;

  • Opaline Quartz Target Area within a very long E‐W oriented vein system with a Cu anomaly coinciding with the potential extension of the Tollu fault to the north of Tollu;

  • Hiding Maggie Target – an E‐W oriented magnetic rock unit coinciding near the contact of the southern gabbro at the Tollu sub‐basin volcanics;

  • Location of the Southwestern Mining Ltd ( SWM ) 1957 Ni diamond drillhole A‐101 prospective for nickel, which yielded a maximum value of 0.16% Ni over 1.6m from 99m downhole (Laine, 1957)[1] . The historical SWM drillhole targeted a N‐S oriented fault that is part of the fault system responsible for the Tollu copper mineralisation but situated to the west of the main body of mineralisation so far delineated by Redstone drilling.

Programmes of Works approvals, clearing permits and required heritage clearances with the traditional owners necessary to undertake the Programme have been completed and the Company is ready to proceed with the Programme pending drill rig availability.

Commencement of the Programme has been significantly delayed due to the current high demand for and unavailability of RC drill rigs, however the Company remains in continued contact with a number of drilling companies as to their potential availability for drilling this quarter.

HANTAILS GOLD PROJECT – FARMIN AND JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (RDS: 80%)

In July 2020 Redstone entered into an agreement to farm‐in to an 80% interest in the HanTails Project ( HanTails or the Project ). HanTails is a historic large scale gold mine Tailings Storage Facility ( TSF ) located on the historic Hannans South Gold Mill site, just 15kms south of Kalgoorlie‐Boulder, Western Australia.

HanTails contains many years of gold tailings deposition material from its original operations during 1986 to 2006, primarily undertaken by then owners Croesus Mining Limited. The specific gravity and the average TSF gold grade have not yet been determined.

An aircore and auger drilling programme was undertaken last year to establish the overall grade of the material in the TSF and to provide bulk samples for metallurgical testing and recoveries with the aim of establishing the average gold grade and approximate gold endowment of the TSF to JORC 2012 status.

However due to issues with sample return and preparation arising from the aircore and auger drilling and the inherent uncertainty associated with properly evaluating the assay results the Company undertook follow up sonic drilling to validate the results. The sonic drilling was completed in April 2021 comprising 6 holes each to a maximum depth of 15m with 3 holes drilled in each of the two cells of the TSF. Assay results for the sonic drilling are pending and anticipated to be available soon.

A variation to the HanTails Farm in and JV was executed in April 2021 which has the effect of extending each of the farmin Stages 1 and 2 by a further 6 months and to add another proximal tenement to the Joint Venture.

CORPORATE

At the end of the Quarter the Company had available cash of $2,646,000. Cash requirements are considered sufficient for the short to medium term.

Payments to related parties of $47,000 includes remuneration of directors and $26,000 legal consulting fees for the acquisition of the HanTails Project (refer section 6 of Appendix 5B).

PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES

During the Quarter, the Company continued investigating and reviewing potential new project opportunities to add to the Company’s project tenure.
