- At Lobo Project, channel sampling of outcrop and trenches at 1m intervals, in areas previously "bulk" sampled by Mindoro (Mindoro releases 2004-2005), above and southwest of the Southwest Breccia ("SWB") resource has produced results that include 9.50m at 13.53 g/t gold (Au) including 1m at 41.80 g/t Au; 6m at 23.55g/t Au including 1m at 30.79 g/t Au and 150m southwest of SWB, 4.00m at 12.23 g/t Au including 1m at 25.14 g/t Au.
- At Archangel Project, a high-grade gold drilling intersection in KTD 199-12 of 2.2m @ 36.53 g/t Au including 1.2m @ 62.09 g/t Au from 203m was produced to the northwest and at depth below the Kay Tanda Resources area. Other significant recent results from within the previously drilled resources area include KTD 196-12: 20.55m @ 1.66 g/t Au from 21.15m including 2m @ 5.03 g/t Au from 22.15m from the Chinese Tunnels area and KTD 195-12: 9.3m @ 3.55 g/t Au, 19.21 g/t Ag from 41.1m including 3.95m @ 6.27 g/t Au from 45.55m from the southwestern side of the resource area (formerly Pulang Lupa).

Mindoro President and CEO Jon Dugdale said, "We are very pleased with the initial high-grade results from the Red Mountain program at Batangas. The Batangas gold assets are now owned and operated by Red Mountain, a gold focussed exploration and Development Company in which Mindoro has a majority stake.
