Red Mountain Mining Ltd. has disclosed results from the first two drill holes on the West Drift lode, Batangas project, Luzon Island, Philippines, recently acquired from Mindoro. Highlights are: Hole LB66 intersected 4.25m (estimated true width) at 2.53g/t Au from 136.6m depth downhole, including 0.42m at 5.59g/t Au and 0.49m at 4.62g/t Au. Hole LB67 intersected 2.81m (estimated true width) at 5.83g/t Au, 4.11% Cu and 12.95g/t Ag from 152.8m depth downhole, including 1.22m at 8.89g/t Au, 5.35% Cu and 11.25g/t Ag.

The new intersections are part of an initial drilling program by Red Mountain at West Drift to target high grade gold mineralization below the old Lobo copper mine and potentially convert the gold mineralization to resource inventory. The drilling program at West Drift has now been accelerated with the addition of a second diamond drill rig. The third and fourth holes (LB68-LB69) in the program have commenced and are targeting the down plunge extent of the system below holes LB66/LB67 and LB44 respectively.

Previous drilling by Mindoro has tested only approximately a 500 meter strike length of the ten kilometres strike length of mapped and interpreted epithermal vein breccia trends at Lobo. This drilling defined South West Breccia (SWB) with an Indicated Resource of 270,000 tonnes at 6.49g/t Au; 56,380 ozs Au and Inferred Resource of 61,000 tonnes at 5.35 g/t Au; 10,540 ozs Au.
