RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD
20 October 2023
Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 September 2023
Red Mountain Mining Limited (the “Company”, “Red Mountain” or “RMX”) is pleased to provide the
following report on its activities during the quarter ending 30 September 2023.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
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.
On 12 July 2023, RMX announced that it had completed a maiden reverse circulation (RC) program at
Mustang has successfully provided confirmation of lithium discovery from initial surface sampling in
February 2023.
Significant thick high-grade lithium claystone was intersected in eight (8) out of ten (10) drill holes at the
greenfields tenure of Mustang (see Figure 1), with seven (7) holes intersecting high-grade lithium from or
near surface.
Significant intercepts from the maiden drill program include:
• RMDH-1:
48.77 metres @ 687ppm Li from 3.05 metres
• RMDH-2:
30.50 metres @ 629ppm Li from surface (0 metres)
• RMDH-3:
30.50 metres @ 608ppm Li from 4.6 metres
• RMDH-4:
28.96 metres @ 564ppm Li from 4.5 metres
• including 3.05 metres @ 690ppm Li from 30.5 metres
• RMDH-6:
32.00 metres @ 639ppm Li from 6.1 metres
• RMDH-7:
29.00 metres @ 600ppm Li from 1.5 metres
• RMDH-9:
29.00 metres @ 642ppm Li from surface (0 metres)
• RMDH-14:
21.30 metres @ 488ppm Li from 83.8 metres
• including 4.6 metres @ 627ppm Li from 88.5 metres
• including 1.53 metres @ 722ppm Li from 103.7 metres
On 9 August 2023, it was announced that RMX staked an additional 88 Mining Claims (“Claims”) north of
the current tenure at the 100% owned Mustang Lithium Project, with confirmation of claims being
successfully filed by the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (See Figure 1).

Web: www.redmountainmining.com.au
Figure 1: Additional 88 Claims staked by Red Mountain – Mustang Project
On 27 September 2023, RMX announced results received from preliminary metallurgical test work on
several core samples. Following the successful maiden drilling campaign at Mustang, a metallurgical
program was designed as proof of concept that lithium can be extracted from collected drill samples through
the use of sulphuric acid as a metallurgical process. In addition, permit application for phase II drilling at
Mustang was submitted successfully to the Bureau of Land Management Nevada.
Subsequent to the quarter, on 4 October 2023, the Company advised that the Bureau of Land Management
Nevada has granted permit approval for phase II drilling program at the Company’s 100% Mustang Lithium
Project in Nevada, USA. Drilling has now commenced and will continue throughout October, with fasttracked assay results expected around mid-November, pending efficiency of the phase II drill program.
Lithic Lithium Project – Nevada, USA (RMX 100%)
On 1 August 2023, Red Mountain received an additional 29 surface samples from American Assay
Laboratories, with Figure 2 providing a summary of the latest sampling results. These samples were
additionally collected from areas of claystone outcrop mostly in the western parts of the mineral claim. The
highest assay result of 1,541ppm Li was taken from an auger sample of grey-green claystone sediments
located on the western side of the Lithic property. A total of ten (10) surface samples returned assay results
of over 1,000ppm Li, which are highly anomalous given the high mobility of lithium in the weathered surficial
environment.
On 17 August 2023, RMX advised that 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.

Monjebup Rare Earth Project – Western Australia (RMX Farm in 80%)
On 10 July 2023, RMX entered into a farm-in agreement (“Farm-in”) with LBM (Aust) Pty Ltd (“LBM”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Liontown Resources Ltd (“Liontown”), to acquire an 80% interest in their
Monjebup Rare Earth Project (“Monjebup”), consisting of 321 blocks covering ~910 km2, that is prospective
for Rare Earths in southern Western Australia.
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 4 September 2023, Red Mountain commenced preliminary surface sampling at the Monjebup Project.
This initial sampling phase was mainly confined to the road reserves within the Project’s 910km2 tenure
package at approximately 500m intervals. (See Figure 3)
ASX: RMX
Web: www.redmountainmining.com.au
Figure 3: Monjebup locations for soil sampling (initial phase)
On 18 September 2023, the Company completed the first phase soil sampling at Monjebup. A total of 81
samples were taken and are currently being processed by Intertek Genalysis. Assay results are expected by
the end of October 2023.
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. The Company notes recent positive developments in RC drilling in our neighbouring tenement by
Manhattan Corporation (ASX: MHC), delivering further high grade gold assay results. The Company is
considering the implications of these exploration result outcomes so close to the Company’s tenement
package.
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.
ASX: RMX
Web: www.redmountainmining.com.au
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. An initial exploration program is being planned to further identify
the lithium, nickel, gold and base metals potential which is expected to commence once land access
agreements are granted.
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
30 September 2023 was 0.80 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 September quarter was $1,404k.
On 31 July 2023, RMX announced it had raised $850,000 via a share placement to professional and
sophisticated investors (Placement).
On 12 September 2023, RMX announced that it had raised $596,900 (before costs) pursuant to the
Company’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP) that closed on 8 September 2023.
New Projects
The Company continues to review and assess opportunities, particularly in the battery minerals space, that
will add value to its portfolio.

8.8
If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: Administration and corporate costs included costs associated with the capital raising
conducted in the quarter. These costs will not be incurred in the upcoming quarters.
The exploration and evaluation expenditure related to the RC Drilling at the Mustang
Lithium Project that was incurred during the quarter is not expected to be as
significant in the next quarters.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: The Company also intends to place shortfall from its recent Share Purchase Plan,
which will bolster cash reserves and continue to fund operations.
