CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
Riedel Resources Limited - Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the Board of Riedel Resources Limited (ACN 143 042 022) (Company or RIE), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) under a Share Purchase Plan (Offer or SPP). The SPP allows you to apply to purchase Shares on the same terms as the Company's recent share placement to professional, sophisticated and institutional investors as announced on 2 May 2023 (Placement). The SPP is not underwritten.
The Company is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity under the SPP to acquire from A$1,000 (minimum) up to A$30,000 (maximum) worth of Shares at an issue price of A$0.005 per Share (Issue Price). The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook the Placement and represents a:
- (a) 16.7% discount to the last traded price of A$0.006; and
- (b) 18% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last 5 days on which sales of Shares were recorded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) of A$0.00609,
- on 1 May 2023, being the day prior to the announcement of the Offer.
Investors under the SPP will also be invited to apply for one free attaching unquoted option for every three Shares subscribed for in the SPP, with each option having an exercise price of $0.01 per option and expiring on the date that is two years from the date of issue (SPP Options). The SPP Options will be offered under a separate options prospectus (Options Prospectus) which will also be sent to participants in the Placement who will receive one free attaching option for every three Shares subscribed for in the Placement, with each option having the same terms as the SPP Options (Placement Options).
The issue of the SPP Options and Placement Options are subject to Shareholder approval at a general meeting intended to be held on or around 22 June 2023.
Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the Offer if they have a registered address in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom as at 5:00pm (AWST) Monday 1 May 2023 (Eligible Shareholder). Participation in the SPP is optional.
The Directors view the SPP as a means of allowing Eligible Shareholders in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to participate in the recently announced equity raising without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. In the event that shareholder approval is not received at the General Meeting for the issue of the SPP Options, the participants in the SPP will be issued the New Shares for which they subscribed but will not be issued the SPP Options. Similarly, in the event that shareholder approval is not received at the General Meeting for the issue of the Placement Options, the participants in the Placement will be issued the Placement Shares for which they subscribed but will not be issued the Placement Options.
The proceeds from the SPP are intended to be applied towards exploration and drilling activities at the Kingman Project in Arizona, general working capital, as well as to pay the costs of the Placement and SPP. For further details of the proposed use of funds, please refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated 2 May 2023.
The Company is targeting to raise up to A$500,000 (before costs), with the ability to take oversubscriptions (subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth))..
How to apply for SPP Shares
The SPP opens on 9 May 2023 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (AWST) on 30 May 2023. Shares under the SPP are expected to be issued on 6 June 2023 and to commence trading on ASX on 7 June 2023.
Application for Shares under the Offer must be made by 5.00pm (AWST) on 30 May 2023 in accordance with the instructions in the enclosed Application Form. The Company reserves the right to close the Offer early or extend the Offer in its discretion.
The Offer is made in accordance with Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and therefore does not require a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Company intends to prepare the Options Prospectus in respect of the offer of the SPP Options and Placement Options.
If you wish to subscribe for SPP Options you will be required to complete and return a valid SPP Options Application Form, which will be attached to the Options Prospectus.
Important information
The Offer is governed by the enclosed terms and conditions. The Board urges you to read these terms and conditions carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in the SPP.
If you are uncertain whether Shares are a suitable investment for you, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser. The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to electing to participate in the Offer.
Enquiries
If you have any enquiries in relation to your Application Form or the Offer, please call the Company Secretary Ms Susan Field on +61 8 6243 6542.

Share Purchase Plan Offer Document
These are the terms and conditions of the Riedel Resources Limited (ACN 143 042 022) (Company) 2023 Share Purchase Plan (Offer) and are binding on any shareholder providing a completed Share Purchase Plan application form (Application Form) and/or application monies to the Company.
1. Offer
The Offer is an invitation to apply for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) up to a maximum subscription of A$30,000 at an issue price of A$0.005 per Share (New Shares) (Offer).
The Offer is made on the same terms and conditions to all Eligible Shareholders (as defined in paragraph 2 below).
The Offer is non-renounceable.
2. Eligibility
You are eligible to apply for New Shares (Eligible Shareholder) if:
- (a) your registered address in the Company's register of members is in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom (subject to the restrictions described in paragraph 16 below);
- (b) you were registered as a holder of Shares as at 5:00pm (AWST) on 1 May 2023; and
- (c) you are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.
3. Issue Price
The issue price for each New Share under the Offer is A$0.005 per Share (Issue Price).
In accordance with the requirements of Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (ASIC Instrument 2019/547), the Company notes that:
- (a) On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer (being 1 May 2023), the closing price of the Shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) was A$0.006 per Share. The Issue Price is a 16.7% discount to that closing price.
- (b) The volumed weighted average market price (VWAP) of the Company's Shares over the last 5 trading days up to and including 1 May was A$0.00609 (5 Day VWAP). The Issue Price represents a 18% discount to the 5 Day VWAP.
- (c) The Issue Price is less than the market price of Shares during a 'specified period' in the 30 days before the date of the Offer (such specified period being the 5 Day VWAP).
- (d) The market price of Shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are issued under the Offer.
- (e) By making an application under the Offer, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that although the Issue Price is at a discount to the 5 Day VWAP, Shares are a highly speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make the Offer and the date of issue of New Shares under the Offer. The Share prices may rise or fall and the price of Shares might trade below or above the Issue Price. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the Issue Price is equal to or greater than 80% of the volume weighted average price for the 5 days in which trading in the Shares occurred before the date of the announcement of the Offer.
The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares prior to making an application under this Offer.

4.2 A$30,000 maximum
In order to comply with ASIC Instrument 2019/547, the maximum value of New Shares each Eligible Shareholder (irrespective of the size of their shareholding) may apply for under the Offer is A$30,000 (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)). This limit will apply even if you receive more than one offer from the Company (for example, because you are a joint holder of Shares or because you hold more than one shareholding under separate accounts).
The Company reserves the right to issue to an Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares than the number applied for, for whatever reason, including to avoid the possible subscription of over A$30,000 worth of New Shares by an Eligible Shareholder (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)).
4.3 Maximum number of New Shares to be issued and Scale Back policy
-
(a) Maximum amount: In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the total number of New Shares under the Offer must not exceed 30% of the number of Shares currently on issue (ASX Limit). Subject to the ASX Limit, the Company reserves the right to determine the amount it raises through the Offer. At this stage, the maximum amount raised under the Offer will be capped at a total of A$500,000 (before costs), being a maximum of 100,000,000 New Shares. However, the Company reserves the right to change this cap at its discretion.
-
(b) Oversubscriptions: The Board reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions above A$500,000, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act in its sole and absolute discretion.
-
(c) Scale back: The Board reserves the right to reject or scale back any applications in whole or in part at its absolute discretion (Scale Back). If there is a Scale Back, you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied. In the event of a Scale Back, the Company intends to prioritise allocations to retail Eligible Shareholders over institutional Eligible Shareholders (as determined by the Company). However, the Company may in its absolute discretion determine to apply the Scale Back to the extent and in the manner it sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors including, but not limited to:
- (i) the size of your shareholding at the Record Date;
- (ii) the extent to which you have sold or purchased Shares since the Record Date;
- (iii) whether you have multiple registered holdings;
- (iv) the date on which your application was made; and
- (v) the total number of applications and New Shares subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders.
If a scale back produces a fractional number of New Shares when applied to your parcel, the number of New Shares you will be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
4.4 Return of excess application monies
In the event of a Scale Back, your application monies may be greater than the value of New Shares issued to you under the Offer, in which case the excess application monies will be refunded to you, without interest, by direct credit deposit to your nominated bank account or by cheque paid. You can add your Australian banking details online through Computershare's Investor Centre website at www.computershare.com.au/easyupdate/RIE.
