The full announcement made by RTG Mining Inc. is set out below:

“SALE OF INTEREST IN MKUSHI COPPER JOINT VENTURE FOR US$13.1M
29 AUGUST 2013

RTG Mining Inc. (TSX:RTG) (RTG) is pleased to announce an agreement has been entered into for
the sale of RTG’s 51% interest in the Mkushi Copper Project in Zambia for US$13.1m (Transaction).
The sale to our joint venture partner, Elephant Copper Ltd. (Elephant Copper), is subject to conditions
precedent, with completion expected in mid September 2013.

The purchase price of US$13.1m will be satisfied by the issue of US$6.6m in new fully paid ordinary
shares in Elephant Copper and a US$6.5m unsecured redeemable convertible note (Convertible
Note). The Convertible Note will be repayable on or before 1 January 2015, unless converted earlier,
and will have an exercise price for conversion equal to the lesser of US$0.45 and 1.36 times the IPO
Price (as defined in the agreement). Elephant Copper is in the process of completing a “go public
event” (IPO) through a transaction that would, after obtaining regulatory approval, be the qualifying
transaction for Credent Capital Corp.

If Elephant Copper enters into an “alternative transaction” (a sale of 20% or more of the shares or
assets in Elephant Copper or similar transaction) both parties have rights to convert the US$6.6m
share issue into a cash payment and Elephant Copper is entitled to redeem the Convertible Note
early.

Elephant Copper has also agreed to repay on or before 1 January 2014, certain debts owing to RTG,
which are currently in the order of US$1.35m.
