MARYMIA PROJECT JOINT VENTURE
Australian Mines earning interests up to 80%
On 30 April 2014 Riedel announced the key terms and conditions of a farm-in and joint venture arrangement over exploration licences 52/2394 and 52/2395 ("the Marymia Project") with Australian Mines Limited (ASX: AUZ, "Australian Mines"). A Heads of Agreement was signed by the parties and if the farm-in and joint venture arrangement proceeds to its full conclusion, the earn-in will be worth up to $3.3M.
Key Terms of Heads of Agreement
- $50,000 paid to Riedel upon signing the Heads of Agreement;
- Australian Mines has the right to withdraw from the arrangement subject to spending a minimum of $150,000 in exploration on the Marymia Project within six months from commencement ("Minimum Expenditure") (completed);
- If Australian Mines exercises its option to continue with the farm-in arrangement after satisfying the Minimum Expenditure, Australian Mines must make a cash payment to Riedel of $250,000 (notification received from Australian Mines that payment will be made on or before 12 November 2014);
- By spending $1,000,000 (including the Minimum Expenditure) on exploration within an initial two year period from commencement Australian Mines can earn a 51% interest in the Marymia Project ("Stage 1 Earn-in");
- By spending a further $2,000,000 on exploration within a further 3 year period following the Stage 1 Earn-in, Australian Mines can earn an additional 29% interest (taking the total interest to 80%) in the Marymia Project ("Stage 2 Earn-in");
- If all milestones are met by Australian Mines within the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Earn-in periods, Australian Mines will have earned an interest of 80% in the Marymia Project by the expenditure of $3,000,000 on exploration within the Joint Venture Area and by cash payments of $300,000 to Riedel;
- Once Australian Mines has satisfied either its Stage 1 or Stage 1 plus Stage 2 Earn-in obligations and notified Riedel of its election to form a joint venture, with a resulting joint venture interest of either 51% or 80%, Riedel may elect to contribute on a pro-rata basis or dilute its interest according to standard dilution formulae;
- If a Joint Venturer's Joint Venture interest reduces to 10% or less, the interest is converted to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty;
- Australian Mines will be the operator and manager of the Project.

Marymia Project tenement location and geology
Riedel holds two exploration licences (E52/2394 and E52/2395) which collectively form the Marymia Project and cover an area of more than 425 square kilometres in the highly prospective Doolgunna-Thaduna region of the Proterozoic volcano-sedimentary Bryah and Yerrida Basins and Archaean Baumgarten Greenstone Belt in the Marymia Inlier.
The Marymia Project is located approximately 30 kilometres east of the 4.7M oz Plutonic gold mine, 55 kilometres north-east of Sandfire Resources NL's DeGrussa copper-gold mine (550,000 tonnes contained copper metal), and 12 kilometres east-north-east of Ventnor Resources Limited's Green Dragon and Thaduna copper deposits (100,000 tonnes contained copper metal) in Western Australia's Mid-West region (see Figure 2).
Significant regional structures identified in the project area include the Jenkin Fault and prospective, mineralised geology including the Archaean-aged Baumgarten Greenstone Belt and Proterozoic-aged sediments belonging to the Yerrida and Earaheedy Groups. The project is prospective for copper, gold and nickel mineralisation and Riedel has delineated numerous high priority targets for each of these commodities.

Activities for the Quarterly period ended 30 September 2014
Australian Mines refined its exploration activities to focus on the emerging Simmons prospect in response to a ground-based EM survey which identified a strongly conductive body beneath an historic nickel-in-soil anomaly. As a result, two diamond drill holes were completed at Simmons and the Company has since commenced a follow-up EM survey across a broader area to investigate additional priority targets prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation.
In August 2014, a ground-based EM survey detected a strongly conductive body beneath a historic nickel-in-soil anomaly3 . This geophysical anomaly, named the Simmons prospect, became the focus of exploration activities with Australian Mines systematically working to identify potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Modelling of the Simmons prospect by Southern Geoscience Consultants indicated that the source of the anomaly is a 400 metre long body, which appears to parallel a previously reported 1,200 x 600 metre nickel and copper soil anomaly. The top of the conductive body is estimated to be approximately 250 metres below surface and continues to a depth of at least 700 metres.
Southern Geoscience concluded that the Simmons prospect is a high priority target prospective for massive sulphide mineralisation that could be related to nickel (-copper) or possibly DeGrussa-style VMS copper-gold mineralisation.
The identification of a strong late-time conductor within a proven geological setting was the catalyst for Australian Mines to devise a strategic diamond core drilling programme to test the source of this bedrock conductor.
In late September, Australian Mines reported that it had completed an initial two diamond drill holes for a total of 1,230 metres at the Simmons prospect4 . Encouragingly, drilling intersected ultramafic rocks similar in nature to those which host the rich Kambalda-type nickel deposits (see Table 1 for drill hole details).
Australian Mines and Riedel are both very encouraged by these initial results from the maiden drilling programme at Simmons. Two distinct sulphide zones (>10% sulphides), (see Figure 3) were observed in drill core from both holes, with both zones appearing to contain iron sulphides with trace amounts of other sulphides including chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) in hole number SMDD001.

Figure 3: A section (515.6 to 516.8 metres) of the four-metre wide sulphide zone intersected by drill hole SMDD002 at the Simmons prospect.

Although drilling intersected multiple sulphide zones, neither of the drill holes adequately explain the strong nickel and copper soil anomalies previously reported across the prospect area or the strong conductive EM anomaly.
The mineralogy of Kambalda-style nickel deposits is dominated by pyrrhotite, pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and pyrite, therefore the presence of sulphides at Simmons is considered significant. Subsequently, Australian Mines commenced down hole EM surveys to ascertain whether additional conductive zones (which may provide further evidence of a massive nickel sulphide zone) are present below or adjacent to the drill holes.

Figure 4: Marymia Project - Ground EM survey currently in progress on aeromagnetic background.
In October 2014, Australian Mines commenced a follow-up EM survey over priority nickel sulphide targets. The most recent EM survey has been specifically designed to identify further

Kambalda-type bedrock conductors within the northern continuation of the Simmons ultramafic (komatiite) sequence (see Figure 4), including:.
- MM001 a surface geochemical anomaly extending for 1,200 x 800 metres with a strong coherent nickel and copper response; and
- MM004 a surface geochemical anomaly covering 2,400 x 1,200 metres, developed on a sub-cropping ultramafic lithology.
CHARTERIS CREEK PROJECT JOINT VENTURE
FMG Resources Pty Ltd earning interests up to 80%
In January 2014, Riedel announced that FMG Resources Pty Ltd ("FMGR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, has entered into a Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement worth up to $1M over Exploration Licence 45/2763.
The Company's 100%-owned tenement is 131km2 in area and is located approximately 45km north of Nullagine and 50km south-east of Marble Bar in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia (see Figures 1 and 5 for project location).

Figure 5: Charteris Creek Project – Geological Map highlighting known mineral occurrences and deposits

Tenement Location and Geology
E45/2763 is located within the East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrain. Tectonically, it is encompassed by the Marble Bar and Kelly Greenstone Belts and Mount Edgar Granitoid Complex in the west and northwest and McPhee Dome and Hamersley Basin to the east and southeast.
The Charteris Creek Project focuses on Archaean intrusive rocks, which are intruding the greenstones overlying the McPhee Dome structure. These are described as Gobbos Granodiorite, a locally porphyritic biotite granodiorite and monzogranite. Various copper and copper-molybdenum occurrences are reported in association with these intrusive rocks. Indications for a porphyritic source of the minerals have been given in previous exploration reports (see Figure 5).
Activities for the period ended 30 September 2014
During the quarter, FMGR continued field work around the Lightning Ridge prospect. This included further detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling as well as stream sediment and soil sampling. The rock chip sampling, including assays from samples taken in the previous quarter, produced some highly anomalous results with the best summarised in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Summary of most significant rock chip assays
In total 2 rock chip, 122 stream sediment and 271 soil samples were collected during the Quarter. Copper results from the stream sediment sampling are presented in Figure 6 (includes assays from sampling taken in the previous quarter) and copper results from the soil sampling are presented in Figure 7. Regional geological mapping was also completed over areas identified as anomalous by the stream sediment sampling.

The Archaean porphyry system at Lightning Ridge is currently poorly understood due to its age and differing geochemical characteristics when compared to much younger known analogues. Detailed information relating to alteration, structures, goethite/jarosite ratios, structural orientation and abundance of quartz veins is required to build a more comprehensive picture of the geological setting. In combination, these observations will enable FMGR to vector towards the potential mineralised centre of the porphyry system.
Mapping in the September Quarter focussed on the areas where encouraging mineralisation and alteration had been previously identified and subsequently confirmed to be the surface expression of a copper porphyry system (historic Lightning Ridge area). Detailed mapping was completed at 1:5,000 and 1:2,000 scale in areas of greater interest. In addition, further mapping around the prospect was completed at 1:5,000 and 1:10,000 scale. The regional scale mapping was undertaken to try to identify alteration that could indicate a broader porphyry system at depth.
During the mapping programme porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralisation and related base-metal-bearing quartz veins were noted to be spatially related to the granodioritic intrusions and are considered broadly contemporaneous in age (Barley, 1982; Bagas, 2005; Williams and Bagas, 2007). There appears to be simplified zoning to the metal prospects in the area, characterized by central Cu-Mo and peripheral Cu-Ag-Zn+Au assemblages. This type of metal zoning is common in porphyry copper districts elsewhere and is indicative of the cooling of hydrothermal fluids away from an intrusive heat-source. The majority of the mineral prospects in the area occur along granodiorite pluton margins.
Rock chip samples collected were dispatched for petrological geochemical analysis. The results from the petrology samples are still outstanding. Integration and further interpretation of the petrological results is a key step in increasing FMGR's understanding of the geological setting. It is hoped that this additional information will clarify the origin of some key lithological types identified in the project area.
To date the empirical data acquired indicates that there are structural and porphyritic elements interacting to control the distribution of anomalous copper seen within the project area. The observed alteration systems around what has historically been believed to be the core of the copper porphyry system show typical alteration assemblages, however they are less prominent than those seen in younger known analogues.
Hydrothermal alteration at Lightning Ridge is characterised by mafic mineral-destructive quartzclay-mica-pyrite (phyllic) alteration. The sites of the magmatic mafic minerals (e.g., biotite, hornblende and pyroxene) have been obscured and the feldspars replaced primarily by sericite. This type of phyllic alteration is common in the late-stage overprinting of porphyry copper systems. Relict potassic alteration was not observed in outcrop during the field review. External to the phyllic zones, chlorite clearly replaces mafic minerals.
One of the concepts being investigated is that the majority of the porphyry intrusion is possibly concealed beneath younger, sedimentary and volcanic rocks. If this is the case then the alteration seen in the field observations may only be the peripheral alteration halo to a much broader concealed system.
Stream and soil geochemical results appear to be largely consistent with the metal zoning that characterises other global porphyry systems such as Yerington (Nevada), Batu Hijau

(Indonesia) and Butte (Montana). Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the coherent nature of the copper anomalies in the stream and soil sampling. When examining distribution patterns it is possible to see that the higher anomalous copper values in particular are focussed at the edges of the intrusive body.

AUZ's maiden drill program at the Simmons prospect (Marymia Project) involved two diamond core drill holes targeting a geophysical anomaly interpreted for the Company's recently completed moving loop electromagnetic survey.
This drill data is not being used for estimating a Mineral Resource or modelling of grade at this stage in exploration.
No sample composting was applied to the exploration results.
Charteris Creek Project
Soil grid used over the main prospect was100x50m, 100x100m was used for the secondary target.
Stream sampling was designed to test catchment areas roughly 1km2 in size, reducing dilution of any metals present.

The images in this report show the geology of the general region and more detailed Fortescue mapped geology in the main project area.
Additional images depict those copper and gold values that are considered to be anomalous in the stream and soil sediment sampling completed by Fortescue.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
Marymia Project
The accompanying document is considered to represent a balanced report.
Charteris Creek Project
Geological mapping and geochemical sampling have been the primary exploration tools used to date.
Maps displaying copper and gold were chosen for inclusion in this report as at this early stage their distributions are the easiest to recognise.
Interpretation of the acquired data is preliminary and by no means comprehensive.
Other substantive exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
Marymia Project
AUZ released the results of its ground-based moving loop electromagnetic (MLTEM) survey on 1 August 2014. This MLTEM survey identified a strong bedrock conductor at the Company's Simmons prospect. This EM conductor formed the basis of the drilling program referred to in the accompanying report. The specifications, description and analysis of the MLTEM survey are included in Australian Mines' 1 August 2014 announcement.
AUZ released an announcement on 30 September 2014, which provided preliminary geological observations of the diamond core of holes SMDD001 and SMDD002. These observations include that two distinct sulphide zones (>10% sulphides) were noted in both drill holes. These sulphide zones appear to comprise iron sulphides (pyrrhotite and, to a lesser extent pyrite) with trace amounts of other sulphides

including chalcopyrite (copper) in hole number SMDD001.
Further data collection will be reviewed and reported when considered material.
Charteris Creek Project
Table 2 has been included to highlight some of the more encouraging assays results obtained from follow up mapping within the project area to date. These results should not be considered indicative of the overall prospectivity of the project as a whole.
Further work
- The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
- Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
Marymia Project
Further work will include drill testing of any resulting EM anomalies. The Company may also seek to undertake down hole electromagnetic survey of these drill holes to test for the presences of any off-hole conductors.
Charteris Creek Project
Finalising the interpretation of data gathered to date which will lead to a more robust mineralisation model for the project area.
