QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT JUNE 2014

New Project Review

During the quarter Black Ridge Mining NL (ASX: BRD or “the Company”) has continued to concentrate its efforts on reviewing acquisition opportunities both within Australia and overseas. Whilst a number of projects have been reviewed, an appropriate acquisition opportunity has not yet been identified.

Unaly Hill Project (E57/420), Western Australian – Vanadium, Titanium, Magnetite, Gold

During the June 2014 Quarter, investigations were furthered into the potential economic viability of the project, including extraction, processing and transportation of mineable ore. A preliminary Scoping Study is anticipated to commence during the next quarter to demonstrate the potential positive economics of the project based on the inferred resource (see BRD:ASX announcement, 21[st] /11/2011) of 86 million tonnes of 0.42% V205 at a 0.3% cut-off, hosted within a titaniferous magnetite.

Not only is the vanadium resource a potential mining operation for BRD but so is the iron, either via separation, or as a combined ferrovanadium product. The resource is completely open, both in strike and dip extent, and the company has acknowledged that an increase in the size of the resource is not just probable, but likely. Further, detailed airborne magnetic imagery shows the host units continue far beyond the limited extent of the RC and diamond drilling that has already taken place and elicited the resource.

The deposit consists of two separate high grade zones which remain open both along strike and at depth. The lease is adjacent to Quest Minerals Limited’s (ASX: QNL) Victory Bore Deposit and is metallurgically similar.

Gold Potential

The company continues to review the potential for further gold mineralisation at E57/420. The project covers 13 strike kilometres of the regional scale Youanmi Fault, a structure that forms the boundary between the Murchison Domain and the Southern Cross Domain of the Youanmi Terrane. Gold deposits associated with this structure include the +1Moz gold deposit at Youanmi to the south and is related to gold mineralization further NE at Sandstone Mining Center where

which includes the +1Moz Bulchina Gold Deposit within the +2Moz cluster of deposits at Sandstone.

In the vicinity of Sandstone, at the Two Mile Hill deposit, Troy Resources reported in 2009, intersections of significant mineralization associated with quartz stock-work veining within BIF and tonalite lithologies. Drilling by Battle Mountain Gold during the 1990’s identified strong gold mineralization at Victory Bore immediately north of Unaly Hill, and also revealed the presence of not just banded iron formations, but intermediate tonalite intrusions. The presence of these lithologies in the vicinity of gold mineralization provide an important model and target for future drilling campaigns for gold which may be concentrated at the contact between the volcanic and BIF units of the greenstone belt and cross cutting tonalite intrusions. At Two Mile Hill, this setting has created a conceptual target for high grade gold shoots and may be applicable at Unaly Hill.

Extension of Term Granted

During the March Quarter an Extension of Term/Renewal was applied for tenement E57/420 for a period of 2 years. On July 1[st] 2014, approval was granted by the DMP to extend the life of this lease. Following the outcome of a Scoping Study, expected to commence late during the next quarter, Licence E57/420 is expected to be converted to a Mining Lease.
