RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD
29 April 2024
Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 31 March 2024
Red Mountain Mining Limited (the “Company”, “Red Mountain” or “RMX”) is pleased to provide the
following report on its activities during the quarter ending 31 March 2024.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Monjebup Rare Earth Project – Western Australia (RMX Farm in 80%)
The Monjebup Project is located circa 80km north-east of Albany, Western Australia and lies predominantly
over private land with efficient road access within and around the Project area. From a geological
standpoint, the Monjebup Project is located in the Albany portion of the Albany Fraser Orogen. The Albany
Fraser Orogen extends along the southern and south eastern margin of the Archaen Yilgarn Craton and
comprises ortho-gneisses, granites and to a lesser degree sedimentary rocks and remnants of mafic dykes
and large sheets of metagabbros, as well as mafic granulites.
On 15 January 2024, assay results were obtained and multiple zones of anomaolous REE were identified at
the Chillinup prospect within E706043. The analytical results revealed source rocks with >1000ppm TREO
levels in four (4) locations and confirmed anomalous REE within soils in three (3) locations, see circles in
Figure 1 below.

On 12 February 2024, RMX announced the commencement of a detailed grid clay sampling (“Phase II”) at
its Monjebup.
The Phase II programme will target specific clays around these hard rock locations with 1000m x 1000m
grids and 50m sample spacings leading to 1,482 planned sites. At each site a hand auger will be used to
access the clays at depths >0.4m and up to 1kg of clay collected at each site. The four sites are Stockwell
Road, Chillinup Road, Dump Road and Dump Road extension, note the later 3 grids overlap, refer to Figure
2.
Mustang Lithium Project - Nevada, USA (RMX 100%)
Mustang is located on the south-eastern flank of the hydrologically closed Monte Cristo Valley, 9 km south
of Belmont Resources Kibby Lake project and 40 km east of American Lithium’s TLC deposit.
Planning for Phase III drilling is nearing completion, with anticipation to commence in the first half of 2024
subject to regulatory approval and weather conditions.
Magante Lithium Project – Nevada, USA (RMX 100%)
Red Mountain had staked a total of 199 Mining Claims (“Claims”) at the north-east region of Nevada, USA,
located in the Granite Range approximately 34km south-east of the township Jackpot. The series of claims,
which RMX refers to as the Magante Project (“Magante”), have been properly recorded by both US Bureau
of Land Management and the Elko County, Nevada.
ASX: RMX
Web: www.redmountainmining.com.au
Preliminary sampling had been completed at the Magante property. A total of 53 sample locations were
determined as part of initial investigation. The sample targets are predominantly spaced 1km apart along
broad sheetwash drainages to initially explore for anomalous lithium occurrences. Results obtained revealed
broad anomalous lithium levels distributed across the Magante property, with next steps being auger soil
sampling to be designed as part of further exploration investigation.
Lithic Lithium Project – Nevada, USA (RMX 100%)
Drill permit application for RMX’s 100% Lithic Lithium Project had been successfully submitted to the Nevada
Bureau of Land Management. Application is currently under review and pending.
Koonenberry Gold Project – New South Wales (RMX 100%)
The Koonenberry Gold Project covers approximately 657 km2 and is located in a geologic setting considered
analogous to the prolific Victorian Goldfields located in south-eastern Australia. The Koonenberry Gold
Project adjoins Manhattan Corporation’s (ASX:MHC) Tibooburra Gold Project where Manhattan has
previously announced a new high grade gold discovery. The Company has completed an internal review of
the project’s historic data and has commenced budgeting for an exploration programme at targeted
locations.
Red Mountain received results indicating samples taken at Gum Vale and smaller quartz veins are
uneconomic in the accessible area of Mount Stuart Station. However, with an apparent increase in gold
values moving south along the Gum Vale Reef, the Company endeavours to design an exploration program
for future mapping and sampling further south.
Charlotte Lithium Project - Northern Territory (RMX 100%)
The Charlotte Lithium Project, less than 100kms by road from Darwin, N.T, is located within the
Bynoe Pegmatite Field. All prospects within the mapped area occur in the western third of the tenement
(south from historically mapped pegmatite occurrences). Access to the central and eastern areas of the
tenement were restricted by access issues associated with the current wet season. These areas remain
prospective for exploration and will be further investigated during the dry season.
Nannup Lithium, Nickel, Gold & Base Metals Project – Western Australia (RMX 100%)
The Nannup project is a granted exploration tenement south-west of Greenbushes lithium, Western
Australia. The Project is prospective for lithium and located in the southwest terrane with potential to
support a Julimar-style geological system.
ASX: RMX

Batangas Gold Project, Philippines – Shares and NSR
The Company holds approximately 1.7m shares in London listed Blue Bird Merchant Ventures Limited (LON:
BMV). Blue Bird is focused on its near-term production gold project in South Korea. BMV share price as at
31 March 2024 was 0.5 pence.
The Company retains its net smelter royalty over the Philippines located Batangas gold project.
Corporate
The Company’s cash position at the end of the March quarter was $350k.
On 25 March 2024, RMX announced a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue of one (1) share (New
Share) for three (3) existing shares held by eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.001 per New Share
to raise up to $891,192. The rights issue is being partially underwritten by Still Capital Pty Ltd.
New Projects
The Company continues to review and assess opportunities, in the battery minerals space and in other
mineral commodities (including gold), that will add value to its portfolio.
Authorised on behalf of the Board,
Mauro Piccini
Company Secretary
