Comment

The Red Rock Chairman, Andrew Bell, states: 'We welcome this demonstration of Metal Tiger's continued support, and that of our other shareholders.

The Company expects its new income stream from oil sales to be augmented by gold royalties and dividends which will defray central plc costs. Having achieved the initial objective for the year of a more secure cost and revenue balance, the Company can now use this platform, in a transformed marketplace, to look more proactively at its existing hard rock mineral projects and its business pipeline which are under review.

In addition with the assistance and input of our increasingly supportive shareholder base, including Metal Tiger, and their access to new high impact opportunities, we have the potential to add material value to the business. We are only just emerging since February from price lows in the mineral sector and it is the board's belief that the majority of upside potential is still available for companies that build their mineral interests at this juncture.'

Admission to trading on AIM and Total Voting Rights (TVR)

The Placing Shares, when issued, will rank pari passuin all respects with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares. Application will be made for the admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM and it is expected that such admission will occur and that dealings will commence in Placing Shares at 8.00 a.m. on or before 30 August 2016. The Placing is conditional on admission becoming effective.

The MTR Subscription is a related party transaction under the AIM Rules due to MTR being a substantial shareholder as described above. The independent Directors of the Company, having consulted with the nominated adviser, consider that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.

Following the issue of the 75,000,000 Placing Shares, the Company will have 467,325,740 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in issue with voting rights. This figure may, following the completion of the Placing, be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. No ordinary shares are held in Treasury.
