17 April 18

Red Rock Resources Plc, the natural resource development company with interests in gold and steel feed materials, announces that Jupiter Mines Limited ("Jupiter", ASX:JMS), an Australian public company, has today confirmed the listing of Jupiter on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"). Jupiter's Board and Management will ring the ASX bell in Sydney on Wednesday 18 April to commence trading in Jupiter shares at 11am (AEST).

Jupiter has also announced final results of Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining Proprietary Limited ("Tshipi") for the financial year ended 28 February 2018 ("FY2018") (subject to completion of financial statements and provision of signed audit report). Jupiter owns a 49.9% stake in Tshipi along with equivalent marketing rights.

For the financial year ended 28 February 2018, Tshipi sold 3.34m tonnes of Manganese ore, compared with 2.27m tonnes in the previous year. Revenues rose from ZAR 3,777m to ZAR 7,334m, EBITDA rose from ZAR 1,354m to ZAR 3,104m, and Net Profits After Tax rose from ZAR 891m to ZAR 1,901m.

The audit for the consolidated Jupiter group including the Jupiter marketing entity is ongoing and the Jupiter results will be announced per the Australian Stock Exchange reporting timetable.

Jupiter CEO, Priyank Thapliyal commented that "the Tshipi operating and sales strategy for FY2019 is broadly similar to that of FY2018. The results for FY2018 when manganese prices averaged around US$4.742 demonstrate the cash generation potential of Tshipi. With current prices at US$7.232, significantly higher cash flow is being generated. Product has been sold through to April which will result in cash in the bank for Tshipi of approximately ZAR 1.5 billion at end of May. Should the markets hold, this raises the prospect of a substantial HY2019 distribution to Tshipi shareholders, and in turn to Jupiter shareholders under the Company's dividend policy as stated in the replacement prospectus."
