RED ROCK RESOURCES PLC

Approval of Jupiter Mines transactions

Dated: 12 August 2010

 

Red Rock Resources plc ("Red Rock" or the "Company"), the gold mining and exploration company with projects in Kenya and Colombia, and interests in steel feed and uranium, announces that the Company's associate Jupiter Mines Limited ("Jupiter" or "JMS") held an Extraordinary General Meeting in Perth, Western Australia today at which both resolutions were approved on a show of hands. Red Rock voted in favour of the resolutions.

 

The resolutions were to approve the acquisition by Jupiter of a 49.9 per cent interest in the Tshipi manganese project in South Africa from the Pallinghurst consortium, the raising of AUD5 million, and the issuance of new Jupiter shares in respect of these transactions, which are expected to complete shortly.

 

Under the terms of the acquisition, Jupiter acquires a 49.9% interest in the Tshipi project for a consideration of AUD245 million, and assumes debt of approximately AUD10.2 million (the "Tshipi Acquisition"). Jupiter will also have certain rights in relation to the project under a management agreement entered into between the Pallinghurst consortium and the other partners in Tshipi. The Tshipi open-pit manganese project has a SAMREC/JORC Resource of 163 million tons at 37 per cent manganese, of which 101.4 million tons is Inferred and 61.8 million tons is Indicated. The tenement has further potential resource.

 

The calculated resource has been the subject of a feasibility study in respect of 62 million tons, and on the basis of an approximately 2 million tons per annum production over a period of 28 years. The development cost of the project is up to AUD200 million, with a completion time from decision to mine of around two years, and Tshipi is expected by Jupiter to be in the lowest quartile by cost of production.

 

As a result of the transactions, the issued capital of Jupiter will increase from 369,786,471 shares outstanding to 1,602,150,501 shares outstanding. Red Rock holds 83,734,165 shares and consequently its shareholding in Jupiter will decline from 22.64 per cent before the transactions to 5.23 per cent afterwards. During 2010 Red Rock has made ASX on market sales totalling 9,570,000 JMS shares for a total consideration of AUD2,283,802 (approximately £1.34 million). The proceeds of these sales have been applied to the Company's general working capital requirements.

 

Mr Andrew Bell, the Chairman of Red Rock, comments that: "Today's vote approves a transformative transaction for Jupiter. This is a change in scale, but it is not likely to be the last change in scale, as Jupiter has ambitions to become a major steel feed company. With Tshipi manganese and the Mt Ida iron ore project, Jupiter has two major potential assets, with Oakover manganese making up a third. Organic growth as well as growth by acquisition should be expected. Red Rock remains fully supportive of Jupiter's strategy and has no current intentions of further JMS share sales."
