Exploration Update

Red Rock Resources plc 03 August 2006 RED ROCK RESOURCES PLC Exploration Update Dated: 3 August 2006 Red Rock Resources plc ('Red Rock' or the 'Company') the mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing iron ore, uranium and manganese projects in Australia and East Africa, reports that a announcement was issued today to the Australian Stock Exchange by Jupiter Mines Limited ('Jupiter') (www.jupitermines.com) in relation to the Company's Mt Ida tenement that is under an option and royalty agreement with Jupiter. The text of that announcement is reproduced below, and a full version with maps and photographs can be found at the Australian Stock Exchange website (www.asx.com.au) by entering the stock code 'JMS'. 'SIGNIFICANT NEW IRON DISCOVERY AT CENTRAL YILGARN • The new high grade (+66%Fe) iron discovery confirms the Central Yilgarn Iron Project contains multiple high grade haematite zones. • The Central Yilgarn new discovery of massive blue haematite grades 66.25% iron at surface and all impurities are low tenor. • This new zone is located 1.5km north of Mt Ida and 11km south of Mt Mason confirming Jupiter's iron ore potential. • Jupiter has also confirmed through mapping and surface sampling an additional eastern +10km continuous high grade haematite zone between Mt Mason and Mt Ida grading on average over 60% Fe. • Production from the Central Yilgarn Iron Project is planned to be crushed on site, trucked to Menzies (90km) and then railed to the Port of Esperance. Summary Jupiter's recent mapping has discovered an additional Mt Mason style high grade, blue - grey haematite zone located approximately 1500 metres north of the Mt Ida trig. Surface sampling of rock chips assayed 66.25% Fe, 2.1% SiO2, 0.4% Al2O3, 0.4% P, 0.4% S, and a LOI of 2.6%. This massive blue haematite discovery is very significant as it adds to the viability of the Mt Mason iron occurrence and will add high grade tonnage to the project. The mapping also identified an additional haematite lens some 500m east of Mt Mason that is continuous over all 13km to Mt Ida. All samples averaged a range of 54.3% Fe to 63.6% Fe, however the overall iron assay was 60.2% Fe. In physical appearance this eastern unit appears to be a shaly, haematite enriched banded iron unit that occurs as low relief, rounded hillocks of lateritic rubble with a spine 5 -15 metres wide of outcropping or subcropping shaly haematite. The assays carried out on this unit show that almost no shale is present and due to its continuous nature it should add more tonnes to the overall prospective future iron ore resource/reserve. The next phase of exploration at Mt Mason/Mt Ida will be to thoroughly sample and delineate: 1. The new discovery of blue -grey haematite; 2. The eastern +10km haematite unit and, 3. Commence resource delineation. 4. Continue scoping work. The eastern haematite unit needs to be drill tested over its strike length as the first stage in accurately delineating the depth and width of haematite in the unit and to better understand the potential size and grade of the iron occurrence here. Given the high grade of the blue-grey haematite patch this will also need drill testing to check its size potential. Work Program Two areas have been mapped that require further work. The newly discovered, high grade haematite patch north of Mt Ida needs careful mapping and some drilling to discover potential mineralisation at depth and under cover. The eastern unit of haematite that stretches the length of the leases needs to be tested first with continuous chip sampling across the unit at 100 to 200 metre spacing with the sample locations flagged and controlled with GPS coordinates. After these sample results are evaluated a program of wide spaced (given the strike length involved) drilling needs to be carried out to at least 20 metres depth then followed up with closer spaced drilling as required. Conclusion The new high grade haematite discovery at Mt Ida has the potential to add significantly to the high grade Mt Mason haematite occurrence and should give the Central Yilgarn Iron Project viability. In addition the new eastern zone will provide large tonnage and Jupiter is targeting plus 20 million tonnes. Additionally, iron ore can also be obtained from the well developed Kanga zone. Competent Person The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Jeremy Snaith who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Jeremy Snaith has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Jeremy Snaith consents to the inclusion in the announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.'
