Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO)(ASX:MDO)(FRANKFURT:WKN 906167)
("Mindoro", or "the Company") advises that it has agreed to vary the Share Sale
Agreement ("SSA"), signed on July 24, 2012, with Red Mountain Mining Ltd. ("Red
Mountain") and by which Mindoro sold the contractual rights to its direct and
indirect interests in the Batangas and Tapian San Francisco gold and copper-gold
assets in the Philippines. 


Consideration for the sale, initially comprised the issue of 100 million fully
paid ordinary Red Mountain shares ("Shares") to Mindoro on October 30, 2012 (to
be held in escrow for 12 months, until October 30, 2013), together with 50
million Performance Shares, that would convert to fully paid ordinary shares in
Red Mountain upon Red Mountain achieving certain performance milestones by
October 30, 2013. 


Subsequent to the sale, certain procedural aspects were not completed in the
time frame originally anticipated and, as such, a variation to the SSA ("the
Variation") has been agreed, to allow those aspects to be completed before the
Shares are released from escrow.  


Under the terms of the original SSA, Mindoro was contractually obligated to
distribute a majority of the Shares to its shareholders upon expiration of the
escrow period. The Variation has removed this requirement, allowing Mindoro to
continue to hold or otherwise deal with the Shares in the manner that Mindoro
determines will return greatest value to its shareholders. Mindoro has, however,
agreed, that unless Red Mountain provides written consent, it will continue to
hold and refrain from dealing with the Shares until the sooner of April 30,
2014, or:




a.  the execution of Novating Deeds of Assignment of contractual rights to
    interests over the Batangas tenements; and 
    
b.  amendment of and completion of Mines and Geosciences Bureau
    (Philippines) registration of the Technical Service Agreement between
    Red Mountain 100% owned subsidiary MRL Gold Inc. ("MRL Gold") and
    tenement owner and 40% owned subsidiary of MRL Gold, Egerton Gold
    Philippines Inc. 



Mindoro does not currently intend to distribute or sell the Red Mountain Shares
upon expiration of the hold period. In the event that the removal of the
distribution requirement should trigger an additional ASX imposed escrow period,
a press release will be issued advising the market. 


The Variation also provides that the joint venture rights to the Tapian San
Francisco tenements ("TSF tenements"), which were originally required to be
transferred to Red Mountain by October 30, 2012, will now be required to be
transferred by October 30, 2013. If the transfer of joint venture rights to the
TSF tenements and the transfer of interests in other tenements is not completed
by October 30, 2013, Red Mountain will have the right to relinquish its
contractual rights to those tenements and "buy back" Shares held by Mindoro to
the value of those contractual rights. As Red Mountain does not consider the TSF
tenements to be part of its current core exploration focus, Mindoro anticipates
reacquiring these tenements in early November. 


Red Mountain has notified Mindoro that the milestones that would trigger
conversion of the Performance Shares to full voting shares will not be met by
October 30, 2013, and, therefore, the 50 million Performance Shares will convert
to a single Red Mountain share only on October 31, 2013. 


On behalf of the Board of Directors, 

Tony Climie, CEO
