MARYMIA PROJECT JOINT VENTURE
Heads of Agreement signed with Australian Mines Limited to explore and earn 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");
- 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;
- 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% of 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
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.

Figure 2: Marymia Project - Location Map
Activities for the Quarterly period ended 30 June 2014
During the quarter Australian Mines commenced a ground based moving-loop electromagnetic survey (MLEM) over numerous targets identified within the project area. The specifications of the MLEM survey are 200 metre spaced lines with 100 metres spaced stations along each line. Infill surveys based on 50 metre spaced stations may then be considered over any resulting conductive bodies which may be prospective for nickel and/or copper mineralisation.

Australian Mines anticipates receiving the final processed and modelled data by the end of August and will seek to commence drill-testing any resultant EM anomalies during the September Quarter.
To be included in future drilling by Australian Mines are four recently identified Plutonic-style gold targets. Independent geologists have previously recognised significant geological similarities between the Marymia project area and the rocks hosting the nearby 5 million ounce Plutonic Gold Mine. Historic drill intersections including 3 metres @ 9.53g/t Au from 51 metres in BRC23 and 2 metres @ 7.15g/tAu from 4 metres in RB620 lend support to Australian Mines' position that the Marymia Project has strong potential to host repetitions of Plutonic-style gold mineralisation and DeGrussa-type copper-gold mineralisation.
CHARTERIS CREEK 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 Figure 1 for project location).
Charteris Creek Project tenement location and geology
E45/2763 is located within the East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrain. Tectonically, it is encompassed by 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 3).
Activities for the Quarterly period ended 30 June 2014
During May and June 2014, FMGR geologists visited the historic Lightning Ridge prospect. Two field trips focussed on exploring the Lightning Ridge prospect regionally and in detail to investigate the nature of mineralisation and associated alteration. FMGR geologists were assisted by a copper porphyry expert during their first field trip.
Historic exploration reported porphyry style mineralization at the Lightning Ridge prospect, hosted in Archean intrusive rocks. Archean porphyry systems are rarely reported worldwide; the closest occurrence to Lightning Ridge is Spinifex Ridge (formerly called 'Coppins Gap'),

located only 70km NNE of Lightning Ridge. The work undertaken in conjunction with the copper porphyry expert confirmed the porphyry-style nature of the known copper-molybdenum mineralisation at Lightning Ridge.

Figure 3: Charteris Creek Project – Geological Map highlighting known mineral occurrences and deposits
The prospect and the greater project area around Lightning Ridge was mapped using the paper-based Anaconda mapping method, which was developed in the 1990s for mapping copper porphyries in the USA and Chile. FMGR geologists were trained using this method during the first field visit and continued its application during the second visit. The method combines lithology, structure, alteration and sulphide/oxide mineral observations into a comprehensive map, which allows for rapid and accurate interpretation of the recorded data. Mapping scales of 1:10,000, 1:5,000 and 1:2,000 were used on several individual map sheets, focusing on the major areas of interest (see Figure 4).
The most prominent signs of a porphyry system have been observed away from the mineralized Lightning Ridge prospect itself, approximately 600m northeast. Even though the primary (and strongest) mineralisation has been recognised at the historic prospect, the typical style of quartz veining commonly associated with a porphyry system is significantly better developed and more intense there.
53 Rock chip samples have been collected and will be analysed either for geochemistry or petrology. Results are pending but they will be used to assist the interpretation and help to better understand the alteration system observed in the field.

Stream Sediment Sampling
A stream sediment sampling programme has been planned and subsequently commenced within tenement E45/2763, comprising a total of 169 planned samples. To date 16 stream sediment samples have been collected and assays are pending.
See Figure 4 for the exploration index map of FMGR's field activities during the first half of 2014, using the GSWA 100k geology map as background.

OTHER PROJECTS
Riedel continues to investigate options to commercialise the Millrose and Cheritons Find Gold Projects, including project development by way of toll treatment and/or other treatment opportunities or by project divestment.
With respect to the Millrose Gold Project, Riedel advises that during the Quarter it received an initial notification from the Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) notifying the Company of the intention to refuse the application for extension of term for exploration licences 53/1304 and 53/1305. Although the Company believes that it is likely that further consideration by DMP will ultimately result in an extension of term being granted, there is no guarantee that the DMP will do so.
The Company will continue to keep the market informed on this matter.
CORPORATE
The Company held Cash Reserves at 30 June 2014 of $0.073M.

Note 1 –
Under the terms of the Secured Convertible Note, issued to Convertible Noteholders, the Convertible Note (and any accrued interest) can be converted in full or any part thereof into Shares in the Company at the lender's sole discretion at any time after 30 June 2013.
Shares issued in lieu of accrued interest will be issued at the lower of $0.036 or 90% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the due date for payment of that accrued interest.
Shares issued on conversion are currently issued at the lower of 90% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of execution of the Convertible Note Deeds or 90% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of the Conversion Notice. However on 13 June 2014 the Company agreed with the Convertible Noteholders to extend the redemption date of the Convertible Note Deeds from 30 June 2014 to 30 June 2015. As part of that agreement the conversion price is to be amended to the lower of 80% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of execution of the Convertible Note Amendment Deeds or 80% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of the Conversion Notice.
Shareholders are meeting on 7 August 2014 to consider the amendments to the terms of the Convertible Notes.
