• Newly constructed road along Profunda mine trend has facilitated vehicle and equipment access into areas previously considered difficult to explore

• Riedel to continue to identify and refine new target anomalies at the Profunda East, Profunda West, Fontun and Providencia East Prospect

Riedel Resources Limited (ASX: RIE) (“Riedel” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that a recently completed ground geophysics programme has successfully defined 5 high priority targets that will form the basis of the upcoming maiden drilling programme at the Company’s Profunda Mine Prospect (see Figure 1) .

Riedel Executive Chairman, Mr Jeffrey Moore commented :

“We are extremely pleased to have identified such compelling targets which strongly validate our previous exploration work ahead of the scheduled nearterm commencement of drilling.

“The proximity of the geophysical targets to the historic high-grade La Profunda cobalt-copper mine is very encouraging and clearly demonstrates the near-mine potential of this area.

“Importantly, we will now be looking to extrapolate this target identification process across our remaining Prospect areas, which still remain largely untested by modern exploration techniques.

“We are entering a very exciting phase in our project exploration, highlighted by the imminent commencement of our maiden diamond drilling programme at the Cármenes cobalt-copper project, and we look forward to providing our shareholders with further updates in the near-term.”

Next Steps – Drilling Preparation

Riedel expects to receive approval to commence drilling at the Profunda Mine Prospect in the near-term, following the submission of a drilling programme application last month (see ASX release dated 23 March 2018).

In preparation for the maiden drilling programme, a new access road has been constructed to facilitate better access to the project area (see Figure 2) . The road now facilitates vehicle and equipment access from the town of Carmenes to the west over a distance of more than 3.5 kilometres.

Additional drilling preparation activities including on-ground logistics and earthworks are well advanced, with drilling equipment set to be mobilised immediately upon receipt of approvals.

In addition, target generation activities will continue to be run in parallel across the Company’s other highly prospective prospects, including the Profunda East, Profunda West, Fontun and Providencia East Prospects respectively. Riedel looks forward to providing shareholders with further updates on the commencement of drilling and the identification of additional high priority drill targets over the coming weeks.

PROFUNDA MINE AREA

Target Generation Programme Overview

The recently completed PDIP surveys comprised 7 pole-dipole lines, collecting data over 1,600 metres, within the vicinity of the Profunda Mine area (see Figures 3 and 5) . Interpretation of the PDIP data has identified 3 significant target clusters located within 200 metres of the historic La Profunda Mine workings.

The target clusters present compelling drilling targets and are characterised by multiple and coincident geophysical and geochemical signatures.

In 2016, Riedel’s joint venture partner SIEMCALSA carried out preliminary geophysical testwork by way of IP and ground magnetic surveys in the vicinity of the historic La Profunda Mine. The results of this work highlighted several Chargeability anomalies which are interpreted as being characteristic of disseminated sulphides mineralisation with a pipe-like shape .

This interpretation gave the Company great confidence that the anomalies could represent other undiscovered “concealed” Profunda-type cobalt-copper nickel-(gold) deposits or repetitions without surface expression.

Accordingly, in December 2017 geophysical surveys commenced with the specific purpose of gathering detailed information around those previously defined Chargeability anomalies for the purpose of defining drilling targets . Despite the onset of winter in northern Spain, geophysical contractor IGT’s personnel have strongly committed to the survey programme and succeeded in collecting high-quality data from the electrical geophysical surveys.

Figures 3 and 5 highlight the location of the 2016 and December 2017 - January 2018 PDIP survey lines and the location of Chargeability anomalies in the three key Target Zones near La Profunda mine.

Discussion of Results

The results of the IP measurements made using the Pole-Dipole array are very similar to those preliminary results recorded in 2016. This “repeatability” of results is considered to be highly encouraging, both from a qualitative aspect and from the characteristics of the anomalies detected, particularly from lines 2017A, 2017D, 2018E, 2018F and 2018G.

FIGURE 3. PDIP Chargeability, radiometric, ground magnetic and geochemical anomalies - La Profunda Mine Area

The correlation of the Chargeability anomalies with those of the 2016 study is presented in Figure 5 and the clustering of the Chargeability anomalies in the three Target Zones gives the Company great confidence that high-order drilling targets have been generated from this work.

Page 4

==> picture [172 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

The anomalies have been repeated in multiple surveys and the Chargeability responses are characteristic of responses generated by metal sulphides disseminated in pipe-like structures .

Zone 2 is of particular interest because the area highlighted by the PDIP data shows a strong and discrete anomaly defined by coincident PDIP data, ground magnetic survey data, radiometric data and Ion-Leach soil geochemistry (see Figure 3) .

The fact that these results of each of these complimentary methodologies are anomalous and strongly coincident is considered to be highly encouraging for the detection and discovery of buried or “blind” minerals deposits that may underlie or be located marginal to Zone 2.

Zones 1 and 3 show similar potential to Zone 2, however, they are only defined by coincident IP and radiometric anomalies because ground magnetic and Ion-Leach soil geochemical surveys have not been carried out over these anomalies. Notwithstanding, even in the absence of this survey data Zones 1 and 3 represent compelling drilling opportunities.

Figures 7 to 11 show strong examples of individual Chargeability anomalies and locations of the diamond drill holes designed to test the PDIP anomalies within Zones 1 to 3.

Diamond Drilling Targets

In late February, an application to commence diamond drilling for a minimum of 750 metres in five (5) core holes near La Profunda Mine was lodged. The locations of the drill holes are shown in Figure 6 below.
