Update

Red Rock Resources plc 21 January 2008 RED ROCK RESOURCES PLC Update - investment in Mindax Limited and iron ore exploration Dated: 18 January 2008 Highlights • Holding in Mindax Ltd rises to 6.28% • Sampling results at Mt Alfred up to 70.72% Fe • Further exploration results at Jupiter Mines Ltd's Mt Ida tenement Red Rock Resources plc (the 'Company') the mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing iron ore, uranium and manganese projects in Australia and East Africa, announces that it has increased its investment in Mindax Limited ('Mindax'), a mineral exploration company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange ('ASX') under the trading symbol MDX. An announcement of this holding was made on the ASX on 16 January 2008. The Company has acquired a further 916,399 shares in Mindax at a cost of AUD 82,030, bringing its total holding to 5,291,399 shares as at 16th January 2008. This holding represents 6.28% of Mindax's issued ordinary share capital. The purchase has been made for investment purposes, and in the interest of enhancing co-operation with a company whose license areas neighbour on the Company's tenement at Mt Alfred, Western Australia. Exploration in the north of the Mt Alfred tenement and the south of Mindax's adjoining tenement at Mt Forrest indicates the presence of potentially significant iron ore mineralization crossing the boundary between the tenements in Banded Iron Formations (BIFs). An additional series of BIFs lie along a similar northerly trend and extend through the Mt Alfred tenement along its eastern edge, adjoining the tenements of Iron Mountain Ltd. During October/November 2007 a field reconnaissance and rock chip sampling programme was undertaken by the Company to investigate the potential of these trends within the Mt Alfred tenement. 21 sample results from five areas have been received. In the Mt Alfred West area, five samples showed grades of 65.09% to 70.72% iron over 200m of strike tested. In the Mt Forrest area in the north of the Mt Alfred license, nine samples showed grades of 34.36% iron to 62.23% iron, with an apparent increase in iron grades and reduction in silicon towards the south of the tested area. At Mt Alfred East, two samples showed grades of 37.55% and 43.88% iron and at Brooking in the south of the license, one sample was taken and graded 67.19% iron. South of Mt Alfred East, two samples at Mt Alfred South showed elevated chromium and nickel values, these are highlighted in red in Table 1 below. Values above 55% Fe are in blue.

As announced on 29 May 2007, the Company sold its other iron ore-prospective tenements at Mt Ida and Mt Hope in Western Australia, which lie some 42 miles to the south-east of Mt Alfred, to Jupiter Mines Ltd (ASX: JMS), in exchange for a cash consideration, 4,617,178 Jupiter Mines Ltd shares, and a 1.5% production royalty. Jupiter Mines Ltd announced on 8 January 2008 that it had identified four new conceptual targets at Mt Ida over 6.2 km of combined strike for further exploration. These were identified by a combination of systematic rock chip sampling, surface mapping and reconnaissance exploration. Assays from the first two of these targets are reported to have returned grades of over 60% haematite Fe including a peak grade of 67.3% which is stated to be a high priority exploration target. Magnetite mineralization grading up to 39.9% and 37.1% was also reported from these areas. Further exploration including drilling over the four targets is planned by Jupiter Mines Ltd for early March. The information in this report that relates to exploration results, mineral resources or ore reserves is based on information compiled by Helen Salmon, BSc Hons, MPhil, GradIMMM, FGS, MMS.
