RED MOUNTAIN MINING LTD
31 July 2023
Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 30 June 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 June 2023.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Mustang Lithium Project - Nevada, USA
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 27 April 2023, the Company announced an update on reconnaissance lithium surface sampling at the
Company’s Lithic Project, in Nevada, U.S.A.
A total of 25 surface samples were collected from the Lithic mineral claims, with 13 recent sample results
provided in Table 1 & Figure 3. These samples were collected from areas of claystone outcrop mostly in the
Western parts of the mineral claim.
The highest assay result of 1,254ppm Li was taken from a grab sample of grey/green claystone sediments
located near the Western edge of the Lithic property.
A total of 3 surface samples returned assay results of over 500ppm Li, which are highly anomalous given the
high mobility of lithium in the weathered surficial environment. Typical mineral resource cutoff grade for
Claystone lithium in the Big Smoky Valley and Clayton Valley is around 500ppm Li
On 15 May 2023, the Company announce that the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved
the exploration drilling permit for its Mustang Lithium Project, based in Nevada, USA.
The Company secured a Nevada based drilling company, Alloy Drilling LLC, to complete Mustang’s maiden
Phase 1 drilling program, which consists of eight (8) holes (refer to below figure 1) drilled to a maximum of
150m in depth to target lithium bearing clay horizons.
Drilling commenced on 5 June 2023 and concluded on 21 June 2023.
Two (2) extra drill holes were added to the initial eight (8) hole program to gain further insight into the
Mustang geology.
Assay results are due in due course.

Charlotte Lithium Project - Northern Territory
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.
HREE, Gold and Base Metals Project
The Company is currently undertaking an internal assessment of the project with experienced consultant
geologists before committing any expenditure on further exploration.
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 June 2023 was 0.83 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 June quarter was $1,030k.
Date of AGM and Closing Date for Director Nominations
The Board of RMX advises that the Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Wednesday, 8
November 2023. A notice of meeting for the Annual General Meeting will be prepared by the Company and
will be announced to ASX and provided to the Shareholders in due course.
The closing date for the receipt of nominations for the election of Directors is at least 35 business days prior
to 8 November 2023. Any nominations must be received no later than 5:00pm (AWST) at the Company’s
