Red River Commences Drilling at Truncheon

Highlights:

• Drilling has commenced at Red River's high priority Truncheon target

• Truncheon is located 3km NE of the historic high-grade copper mine at Highway Reward

• Initial two holes planned to test coincidental gravity / induced polarisation / geochemical target

• Drilling part of ongoing high impact exploration program at Red River's Thalanga Zinc Project

• Drilling part-funded under Round 9 of the Queensland Government's Future Resources Program

- Collaborative Drilling Initiative (CDI)

Red River Resources Limited (ASX: RVR) ("Red River" or the "Company") is pleased to advise it has commenced an initial two-hole diamond drilling program at the high-priority Truncheon target, as part of the Company's ongoing high impact exploration strategy at the Thalanga Zinc Project ("Project") in Queensland. The Truncheon target is located on EPM 10582, approximately 3km NE of the historic Highway Reward copper mine (refer to Figure 1).

In 2015, Red River undertook reprocessing of historical geophysical data (gravity and induced polarisation chargeability) within the Truncheon project area that indicated that the Truncheon prospect anomaly (combined gravity, induced polarisation chargeability and geochemistry) is of similar size and scale to the historical anomaly at the Highway Reward deposit (refer to Figure 2).

Highway Reward was an exceptional deposit, which was mined from 1998 to 2005 with total production of 3.8Mt

@ 6.2% Cu & 1g/t Au(1) from open-pit and underground mining operations. The ore produced from Highway Reward was trucked to and processed through the Thalanga Mill (approx. 110km by sealed road), now owned by Red River. The Highway Reward mining leases, which are held by a third party, also host the Handcuff deposit which has a historical non-JORC compliant resource of 1Mt @ 0.4% Cu, 0.2% Pb and 7.4% Zn(2).

Red River received a $75,000 grant under Round 9 of the Queensland Government's Future Resources Program - Collaborative Drilling Initiative. This will help fund drilling of the two holes at Truncheon to a depth of 500m. The planned drilling at Truncheon will fulfil the grant requirements.

Red River's Managing Director Mel Palancian commented: "We are pleased to have commenced drilling at Truncheon, which marks the culmination of more than 12 months of work, from the initial reprocessing of the historical geophysical data which identified the target, through the drill design and obtaining the necessary landholder permissions and Cultural Heritage Clearance. We look forward to assessing results from the program as they come to hand. "
