22 July 2011 Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor" or "the Company") Share Price Movement
The Company notes the recent rise in its share price and confirms that it knows of no specific reason for this movement other than recent research published by Mining Maven http://www.miningmaven.com/red-emperor-resources-/red-emperor-resources-/ and the spudding of the first well in Georgia which occurred on 13 July 2011 and is expected to take up to 55 days. The Company expects to provide a drilling update to the market in due course.

Red Emperor Resources NL is a natural resources exploration company with interests in the frontier state of Puntland, Somalia, the Republic of Georgia and Western Australia.
* In Puntland, Red Emperor holds a 20% working interest in two licences encompassing the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys in 2011. These two exploration areas cover nearly 40,000km2 and have independently been assessed to potentially contain over 19.9 billion barrels of oil in-place. * In the Republic of Georgia, Red Emperor has a 20% working interest in onshore blocks VIa and VIb, covering approx. 6,500km2. Partner Range Resources Ltd last year funded a 410km 2D seismic program with independent consultants RPS Energy identifying 68 potential structures containing an estimated 2.045 billion barrels of oilâ€"inâ€"place (on a mean 100% basis). Two wells are to be drilled this year as part of the proposed drill program. * The Company also has a 25% interest in the Jillewarra Project free carried until bankable feasibility study, which is a copper and gold project in Western Australia.
