RED BACK MINING AND MOTO GOLDMINES ANNOUNCE
AMENDMENT TO BUSINESS COMBINATION
June 29, 2009 – Red Back Mining Inc. (“Red Back”) (TSX: RBI) and Moto Goldmines Limited (“Moto”)
(TSX: MGL, AIM: MOE) announce that they have entered into a First Amending Agreement to the
arrangement agreement entered into between them and announced on June 1, 2009.
Pursuant to the First Amending Agreement, all outstanding options of Moto will be exchanged for
options to acquire a number of common shares of Red Back based on the share exchange ratio of 1
Moto common share for 0.45 of a Red Back common share. A corresponding amendment will also be
made to the exercise price of the outstanding Moto options to reflect this exchange ratio. Such options
will be on the same terms as set forth in the Moto Stock Option Plan. In addition, the approval
conditions for the arrangement agreement have been amended in response to regulatory requirements
to require the approval by a simple majority of votes cast by Moto shareholders in person or by proxy
at the special meeting that has been called to approve the arrangement, in addition to a 66 2/3 vote of
Moto shareholders and Moto option holders, voting as a single class. All other material terms of the
arrangement agreement remain unchanged.
Additional information regarding the business combination between Red Back and Moto can be found
in the news release issued June 1, 2009. Full details of the transaction will be included in a
Management Information Circular to be filed with securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Moto
shareholders in accordance with applicable securities laws. Moto expects to mail the Management
Information Circular in early July 2009. The transaction is expected to close in August 2009.

Moto and the timing of the holding of a special meeting of the shareholders and option holders of Moto. Assumptions upon
which such forward looking statements are based include that Red Back and Moto will be able to satisfy the conditions in the
definitive agreement, that the due diligence investigations of each party will not identify any materially adverse facts or
circumstances, that the required approvals will be obtained from the shareholders and option holders of Moto, that all third
party regulatory and governmental approvals to the transactions will be obtained and all other conditions to completion of the
transaction will be satisfied or waived. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the
control of Red Back orMoto and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or

Information Form of the year ended December 31, 2008. Although Red Back and Moto have attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be
other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
