DRILLING UPDATE AT KINGMAN GOLD PROJECT, USA
Riedel Resources Limited ( ASX:RIE , Riedel or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s resource definition drilling at the Tintic prospect at the Kingman Project in northwest Arizona.
Key Highlights:
-
Twenty-six reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for ~1900m have been completed from the initial Priority 1 program.
-
Riedel intends to complete a total of ~7,000m by September 2023.
-
Drilling is targeting the Tintic prospect to underpin a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) by end of 2023 with regional drilling planned to target extensions to the north and south of Tintic and regional targets .
-
First assay results anticipated in late July subject to laboratory turnaround.

Riedel CEO David Groombridge said :
“The resource drill out at Tintic has made a strong start and is progressing efficiently and on schedule with approximately half of the Priority 1 holes completed to date.
In July, drilling will advance to the south of Tintic to complete the remaining Priority 1 holes before the exploration team shifts its focus to some exciting early-stage prospects across the Project.
The first batch of drill samples are currently at the laboratory under analysis with first assay results due in late July-early August.
We are making excellent progress with the focus on delivering a Maiden Resource Estimate at Tintic before the end of 2023.”
The Company looks forward to providing further updates as they come to hand.

Project Background
The Kingman Project is located in north-west Arizona, USA, approximately 90 minutes’ drive from downtown Las Vegas and within 5km of a major highway (refer Map below).
The project area was mined predominantly for high-grade gold and silver from the 1880s until the early 1940s - which coincided with the outbreak of WWII. Following limited drilling near Tintic in the 1990’s, 11 diamond holes were drilled on the property in late 2019 which intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold, silver and lead from shallow depths, confirming the extensive mineralisation potential of the area (refer Riedel ASX announcement dated 23 October 2020). In 2021, Riedel completed more than 9,000m of RC at Tintic with another 20 diamond holes in 2022.
