MABILO PROJECT

Overview of the Quarter

The March quarter focused on finalising 18 months of detailed work with the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (“MGB”) and Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”) resulting in the issue of both the ECC for the Mabilo Project, in the Philippines, together with a renewal of the Exploration Permit, EP-014-2013-V (“EP”).

The Company was pleased to announce the completion of the sale of RTG's interest in the Segilola Gold Project to Thor Explorations Ltd (“Thor”), a TSX-V listed company, for up to US$8.5m.

The Company released its NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Mabilo Project during the quarter following on from the announcement of the Feasibility Study (“FS”) on 18 March 2016 on the ASX[1] . The Mabilo Project is both high grade and low cost underpinning the robust economics presented in the FS including a 33% IRR after tax (43.6% with only a 10% lift in commodity prices) and an equivalent operating cost of US$0.80/lb copper equivalent or US$425/oz gold equivalent for concentrate production at a throughput rate of 1.35mtpa.

A binding Heads of Agreement was signed between the joint venture partners on the Mabilo Project during the quarter, resolving all open points between the parties. The parties have agreed to drop all actions in connection with an earlier request for copermittee status and incorporate the joint venture through Mt. Labo, with all parties working jointly and co-operatively to advance the development and operation of the Mabilo Project.

Project Background

The Mabilo Project is located in Camarines Norte Province, Eastern Luzon, Philippines. It is comprised of one granted Exploration Permit (EP-014-2013-V), of approximately 498 ha. The Project area is relatively flat and is easily accessed by 15 km of all-weather road from the highway at the nearby town of Labo.

Massive magnetite mineralisation containing significant copper and gold grades occurs as replacement bodies together with mineralized garnet skarn and calcsilicate altered rocks within a sequence of hornfelsed sediments of the Eocene aged Tumbaga Formation. The garnet and magnetite skarn rocks were extensively altered by argillic retrograde alteration and weathering prior to being covered by 25-60 metres of post mineralisation Quaternary volcaniclastics (tuff and lahar deposits) of the Mt Labo Volcanic Complex. The deposits are localised along the margins of a diorite stock which does not outcrop within the Exploration Permit.

The primary copper mineralisation (predominantly chalcopyrite with lesser bornite) occurs as disseminated blebs and aggregates interstitial to magnetite grains and in voids within the magnetite. A strong correlation between gold and copper values in the un-weathered magnetite skarn indicates the gold is hosted by the chalcopyrite. A late stage phase of sulphide mineralisation (predominantly pyrite) veins locally brecciates the magnetite mineralisation.

1 The Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the Feasibility Study as announced to the ASX on the 18th of March continue to apply and have not materially changed. A copy of the announcement can be found on the Company’s website at www.rtgmining.com.

Figure 1 - RTP ground magnetic image with modelled South, North and East magnetic bodies and showing exploration upside targets.

In places the more shallow upper parts of the magnetite skarn bodies were weathered to form hematite skarn. Copper in the weathered zone was remobilised forming high-grade supergene copper zones (chalcocite and native copper) at the base of the weathering profile. The gold is more variable, remobilised throughout the hematite skarn and is domained within garnet skarn and calc-silicate altered country rocks in places. The average iron grade of the hematite skarn is consistent with the magnetite skarn.

Sierra Mining Limited (“Sierra”) discovered the mineralisation in 2012 during a reconnaissance drilling program targeted on magnetic anomalies from a ground magnetic survey conducted by a former explorer. Sierra subsequently conducted a new ground magnetic survey in early 2013, remodeled the data and commenced a second phase of drilling in mid 2013.

Extensive drilling has been undertaken during 2014 and 2015 with significant extensions in known strike beyond the magnetic model in the north and south directions. A total of 69 drill holes totaling 11,231m were used for the maiden Resource estimate (ASX released on the 24[th] November 2014). An updated Resource estimate (ASX released on the 5[th] November 2015) was completed using 98 drill holes totaling 18,200.9m. By the end of December 2015, 111 drill holes had been completed at the project. The current Resource is open down plunge and along strike, with all mineralization found to date being shallow enough to be amenable to open pit mining techniques.

Planned Exploration

Planning for the next phase of exploration is currently being finalized. A 3000m diamond drilling program designed to upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated on the North Mineralised Zone and South Mineralised Zone is included in the plan. In addition to the Resource upgrade drilling, further step-out drilling is planned to target shallow magnetite mineralisation at the North Mineralised Zone aiming to increase the existing Resource base.

Detailed studies of alteration zonation, metallogenic zonation and a review of the existing magnetic survey has added confidence to the Project’s porphyry targeting. New insights into the Mabilo porphyry-skarn system has highlighted untested buried magnetic responses under cover, extending the East Mineralised Zone further to the east with the potential for improving copper and gold grades.

Mabilo Mineral Reserves

March 2016 Mineral Reserve Estimate

The Probable Reserve represents an equivalent gold grade for the Reserves of 5.26 g/t (before recoveries) containing 1.32 Moz of equivalent gold or an equivalent copper grade of 4.1% (before recoveries) containing 316Kt of equivalent copper** .

The gold equivalent grade is based on the following formula – _AuEq=((((AuOz$1,200)+(CuMetal$5,000)+(FeMetal$50)+ (AgOz*$14)) / $1,200)/Total ore tonnes)_ The copper equivalent grade is based on the following formula –

CuEq=((((AuOz$1,200)+(CuMetal$5,000)+(FeMetal$50)+ (AgOz$14)) / $5,000)/Total ore tonnes)

The November 2015 Resource estimation provided by CSA classified the Resource for the Mabilo Project as Indicated and Inferred. Only Indicated Mineral Resources as defined in NI 43-101 were used to establish the Probable Mineral Reserves. No Reserves were categorized as Proven.

Mineral Reserves are quoted within specific pit designs based on Indicated Resources only and take into consideration the mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and infrastructure modifying factors.

Feasibility Study

The Company announced on March 18, 2016 the results from an independent NI 43101 compliant FS for 100% of the high grade Mabilo Project in Southeast Luzon, Philippines[] . The Mabilo Project is both high grade and low cost, underpinning the robust economics presented in the FS including a 33% IRR after tax at US$5,000/t Cu US$1,200/oz Au prices (43.6% with only a 10% lift in commodity prices) and an equivalent operating cost of US$0.80/lb copper equivalent or US$425/oz gold equivalent for concentrate production at a throughput rate of 1.35mtpa[*] .

BUNAWAN PROJECT

==> picture [325 x 187] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [325 x 186] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 - Bunawan GAIP Resistivity Survey

The FS is based on a treatment rate of 1Mtpa. A treatment rate of 1.35Mtpa was also considered in an upside case. Factored indicative capital and operating cost estimates were developed for a planned throughput of 1.35 Mtpa. The capital cost estimates were derived from first principles for the 1 Mtpa process plant to an accuracy of +/- 15% and then the capital cost estimates were factored with an accuracy of +/- 25% for the 1.35 Mtpa process plant. The operating cost estimates were derived from first principles for the 1Mtpa process plant and then plant costs were factored with an accuracy of +/- 25% for the 1.35Mtpa operating scenario. All costs are in 2015 US dollars. ** The Copper equivalent tonnes and gold equivalent ounces are based on the following formulas – CuEq = (Cu produced/contained$5000) + (Au produced/contained$1200+ (Any Contained Fe metal produced $50))/$5000

AuEq = (Cu produced/contained$5000) + (Au produced/contained$1200+ (Any Contained Fe metal produced* $50))/$1200

The Bunawan Property is located in the east of Mindanao Island in Agusan del Sur Province, approximately 190km north-northeast of Davao and adjacent to the Davao – Surigao highway.

Community development programs and Indigenous People programs continued during the current quarter.

The Company plans to conduct further exploration at Bunawan. A drill program is being planned to target key areas highlighted in the December 2015 Gradient Array - Induced Polarization (GAIP) and Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) programs.

CORPORATE

RTG was pleased to announce that it had successfully completed the issue of approximately 33 million shares at a price of A$0.60 per share to institutional and sophisticated investors pursuant to a heavily oversubscribed private placement announced on 15 July 2016 (“ Private Placement ”). The Private Placement raised proceeds of circa A$20 million (before costs).

The Private Placement was led in Australia by Hartleys Limited and co-managed by Taylor Collison and co-led internationally by BMO Capital Markets, together with a syndicate of agents including Tectonic Advisory Partners (acting through Ecoban Securities Corporation), Arlington Group Asset Management Limited and Raymond James.

The Company also announced the sale of RTG's interest in the Segilola Gold Project to Thor Explorations Ltd (“Thor”), a TSX-V listed company, for consideration of up to US$8.5million including US$3m of upfront consideration with US$1.5m in cash and a further US$1.5 in shares in Thor.

Completion of the transaction is expected to occur shortly.

The Company received approval for a Research and Development tax claim from the Australian Government in November. The claim is estimated to generate in the order of A$275,000 due to be received next quarter.

Cash and liquid assets as at 30 June (ie before completion of the above mentioned placement) were A$3.9M.
