Item 4.01
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
 
On August 30, 2011, the Board of Directors of Red Mountain Resources, Inc. (“Company”) approved the dismissal of L J Soldinger Associates LLC and the engagement of Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) as the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements.

L J Soldinger Associates LLC’s report on the financial statements for the Company for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that the report of L J Soldinger Associates LLC accompanying the Company’s audited financial statements as of January 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the year and period then ended, respectively, contained an explanatory paragraph indicating substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods, including the quarter ending May 31, 2011, through August 30, 2011, there were no disagreements with L J Soldinger Associates LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of L J Soldinger Associates LLC, would have caused L J Soldinger Associates LLC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through August 30, 2011, there were no “reportable events” (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided L J Soldinger Associates LLC with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Company requested L J Soldinger Associates LLC to furnish a letter addressed to the Commission, attached hereto as Exhibit 16, stating whether it agrees with such disclosures, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of Hein, the Company did not consult Hein regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Hein concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a “reportable event” (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
