Riedel’s assets include a portfolio of gold, copper and nickel projects and significant land holdings in prospective Archaean- and Proterozoic-age terranes of Western Australia and the rights to acquire five Permits in Burkina Faso with high prospectivity for Proterozoic-age gold mineralisation (see Figure 1).

The Company has a mixture of advanced and early stage prospects, with an initial focus on four core Projects:

  • Marymia (copper, gold, nickel and base metals) ;

  • Burkina Faso (gold and copper) ;

  • Cheritons Find (gold -[1] Inferred Resources of 1.4Mt @ 2.4g/t Au for 108,000 oz) ;

  • Millrose (gold - Inferred Resources of 4.0Mt @ 2.4g/t Au for 309,000 oz)

Furthermore, the Western Australian Projects are augmented with a number of additional prospects, including royalty agreements and free carried interests.

MARYMIA PROJECT

Project Activities

During the Quarter Riedel continued with technical studies, using all of the Company’s recent and historic exploration data, to prioritise future exploration work on copper, gold and nickel targets at Marymia ( see Figure 2 for project location and Figure 3 for current target map ).

Subject to the Company sourcing adequate funding, future exploration programmes contemplate a project-wide aerial electromagnetic geophysical survey (VTEM) to test for conductive nickel and copper sulphide deposits and the drilling of the best gold targets using RAB and RC/diamond core techniques.

CHERITONS FIND GOLD PROJECT

Project Activities

Riedel’s 100%-owned Exploration Licence 77/1793 contains the Cheritons Find (Redwing) gold deposit which hosts [2] Inferred Mineral Resources of 1,400,000 tonnes @ 2.4g/t Au for 108,000 ounces of gold.

The exploration licence is located in the Forrestania-Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, approximately 48 kilometres south of Hanking Gold Mining Limited’s 2.2 Mtpa gold processing plant at Marvel Loch in the Eastern Goldfields Region of Western Australia.

During the Quarter the Company continued to explore strategies to commercialise the Cheritons Find gold deposit, including discussions with other regional gold explorers and producers in relation to toll treatment and other treatment options including resource consolidation strategies.

Inferred Mineral Resources

In 2000, resource estimation work carried out by Sons of Gwalia Limited (“SOG”) resulted in an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 1,400,000 tonnes @ 2.4g/t Au for 108,000 ounces of gold at the Redwing gold deposit (see Table 1 below) .

TOTAL Inferred 0.5 20 1,400,000 2.4 108,000

N.B. See detailed notes (attached) “ Key inputs used for Inferred Mineral Resource estimation” .

Riedel has subsequently carried out a peer review of the Resource Estimate using independent expert Bob Annett Consulting. This work has validated the overall geological and structural methodology adopted by SOG and the general tenor of the tonnage, grade and metal (ounces) estimates which resulted from SOG’s work. Sample locations, drilling sample recoveries and analytical methods are deemed acceptable for resource estimation purposes.

Annett’s interpreted cross-section is included as Figure 4 (below) .

BURKINA FASO PROJECTS

Exploration Activities

There were no field exploration activities completed during the Quarter.

To complete the acquisition of the five exploration Permits in Burkina Faso, payments totalling US$370,000 to the original Permit vendors and facilitators remain outstanding. By mutual agreement, all outstanding vendor and commission holder fees have been deferred to the end of 2013

TENEMENTS

No changes.

Key inputs used for Inferred Mineral Resource estimation

Drilling data from 61 reverse circulation (8,264 metres) and 1 diamond drill hole (177.7 metres) utilised; Drill hole density based on 80 metre spacing between drill lines and predominantly 40 metre spacing on drill lines; Petrographic, metallurgical and bulk density work completed; Dry bulk densities estimated

oxide material = 2.0t/m[3] , transitional material = 2.5t/m[3] , primary material = 2.8t/m[3] ;

Resource sectional polygons (length weighted average polygons) based on minimum 2 metre down hole intercept >0.5g/t Au to define boundaries,

maximum 2 metres of internal dilution,

intercept grade calculated as weighted arithmetic mean of individual intercepts using 20g/t high cut (~97.5[th] percentile);

Resource blocks projected midway between drill holes or maximum 20m down dip.

Metallurgical testwork based on 4 samples from 1 diamond hole with results confirming;
