RIEDEL ACHIEVES A$5M SPEND MILESTONE IN ARIZONA DAVID GROOMBRIDGE COMMENCED AS CEO
Highlights:
- Riedel achieves A$5m spend milestone at Kingman Project in Arizona
- Experienced geologist David Groombridge commences duties as CEO of Riedel Resources following his appointment last month.
- Environmental and Metallurgical consultant engaged to undertake Project Study Work
- Metallurgical samples dispatched to laboratory for testwork
Riedel Resources Limited (ASX:RIE, "Riedel" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on progress regarding its Kingman Project in Arizona, USA.
Following on from the successful completion of the diamond drill program in late 2022, which returned numerous high-grade gold assay results from shallow diamond drill holes, Riedel is pleased to announce that it has satisfied the A$5M exploration expenditure requirement and will now proceed, subject to shareholder approval, to issue 100M shares to Flagstaff Minerals Limited to earn a 51% interest in Flagstaff Minerals (USA) Inc (see the Company's announcement 'Riedel to acquire up to an 80% interest in the high-grade Kingman Gold Project, Arizona, USA' dated 23 October 2020 for further details of the earn-in).
In addition, the Company has engaged Environmental and Metallurgical consultancy groups to commence initial project study work. This work involves baseline data collection on site and preliminary metallurgical test work in Canada and is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks, with the samples already sent to the metallurgical laboratory. The work programs are important steps along the path toward Riedel's goal of assessing, advancing, permitting and potentially developing a shallow, high-grade, mining project at Tintic.
Riedel CEO David Groombridge stated:
"I am excited to have commenced as CEO of Riedel. The opportunity to advance and build on the very high grades already achieved at the Kingman Gold Project in Arizona, was too good to pass-up.
"As a Geologist, I was surprised to see the sheer number of quality and untested targets that are available to us for follow up.
"Whilst we have all these prospective targets – right across the project area - I am mindful that given the shallow and high-grade nature of the mineralisation drilled to date at Tintic, this presents us with the early opportunity to potentially develop a mining scenario at Kingman.
"For this reason, we are kicking off the baseline data collection and metallurgical test work mentioned herein, which is integral to our goal of transitioning Riedel from an explorer to a developer/producer as soon as we can."
Kingman 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 1).

The project 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 1990s, 11 diamond holes were drilled on the property in late 2019 which intersected multiple zones of highgrade gold, silver and lead from shallow depths, confirming the extensive mineralisation potential of the area (refer Riedel ASX announcement dated 23 October 2020).

During 2021 and 2022, Riedel completed both RC and diamond drilling programs over historic mine areas on the property, with a focus on the shallow high-grade Tintic zone. This drilling returned highgrade assay results in numerous drill holes¹.
This announcement was approved for release by the Board of Directors of Riedel Resources.
