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.

During the June Quarter Australian Mines earned a 51% interest in the Marymia Project by completing more than $1,000,000 worth of expenditure on exploration during the “Stage 1 Earnin”. Australian Mines has now elected to proceed with the “Stage 2 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 their total interest to 80%) in the Marymia Project.

Marymia Project tenement location and geology

E52/2394 and E52/2395, which collectively form the Marymia Project, 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 Sandfire’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 2015

Subsequent to the end of the September Quarter, the first hole of a new RC drilling programme by Australian Mines at the Dixon Prospect (formerly known as Bill’s Area) intersected high-grade primary gold mineralisation. Assay results received to date identified a mineralised intercept of 5 metres @ 11.07 g/t gold from 130 metres down hole ( see Table 1 below for results ).

Assay results for the last 12 metres of the hole, (immediately below the mineralised intercept of 1 metre @ 14.85 g/t gold from 134 metres to 135 metres down hole) have not yet been received. This highly significant mineralised intersection will be followed up with additional drilling.

The Dixon prospect is situated in the south-west corner of E52/2394. Shallow rotary air blast (RAB) and air core drilling completed across this target area in the mid-1990s, testing a loworder gold + arsenic anomaly, successfully intersected a zone of supergene gold mineralisation within the weathered profile but there has been limited deeper drilling to date ( see Figure 3 ).

CHARTERIS CREEK PROJECT JOINT VENTURE

FMG Resources Pty Ltd earning interests up to 80%

In January 2014 FMG Resources Pty Ltd (“FMGR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, entered into a Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement with the Company worth up to $1M over Exploration Licence 45/2763.

Riedel’s 100%-owned tenement is 131km[2] 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 4 for project location) .

==> picture [426 x 295] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: 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.

Page 6

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Indications for a porphyritic source of the minerals have been given in previous exploration reports.

Activities for the period ended 30 September 2015

A re-visit of the Lightning Ridge Prospect in September, including the area north of known mineralisation, has focussed on lithology to distinguish between different sets of intrusive rocks and clarify relationships between intrusive, sedimentary and volcanic rocks. As a result of this work, three different intrusive suites were identified within the greater Lightning Ridge area, adding one more suite to known intrusive rocks associated with the Gobbos Granodiorite intrusion (BAGAS, L., 2005, Geology of the Nullagine 1:100,000 sheet, p. 12).

The additional intrusive suite, the Lightning Ridge (LR) Porphyry, has been recognized for Lightning Ridge and another nearby part of the outcropping Gobbos Granodiorite intrusive complex. An additional 8 rock chip samples were taken and sent for geochemical and, selected samples, petrological analysis. Results for both are currently pending.

In addition to the reassessment of the geology around Lightning Ridge prospect, the northern part of the tenement will be tested for potential precious and base metal mineralisation. A stream sediment sampling program has been designed within the Marble Bar greenstone belt. Nearby MINEDEX-listed mineral occurrences indicate the prospectivity of this part of the licence (see Figure 4) .

CHERITONS FIND PROJECT

Riedel continued work during the September Quarter towards the development of the Redwing gold deposit as a potential toll treatment project.

MILLROSE PROJECT

There were no exploration activities carried out during the quarter.

BRONZEWING SOUTH PROJECT

This project now consists of one tenement, E36/623. It is located approximately five kilometres south-east of the Bronzewing Gold Mine in the Yandal Greenstone Belt (see Figure 1) .

During the Quarter a comprehensive review was undertaken of all exploration data relating to previous activities within and surrounding E36/623. The gold prospectivity of the tenement was confirmed with numerous strong geochemical soil anomalies identified that extend over several kilometres. Several of these anomalies, peaking at 225 ppb Au and 99 ppb Au are yet to be drill tested and are a high priority for follow up work .

In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Sample recovery from this RC program was high with more than 90% of the sample returned for most metres.

All samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination with the appropriate notes being recorded in the sampling logs.

There is no observable relationship between recovery and grade, and there no sample bias is assumed. Australian Mines protocols, designed in consultation with SRK Consulting (Perth) are followed to preclude any issues of sample bias due to material loss or gain.

Geological logging of drill chips have been recorded for this drill hole, including lithology, mineralogy, grainsize, texture, weathering, oxidation, colour and other features of the samples.

Drill chips were not logged to any geotechnical standard and the data is insufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation at this stage.

Logging of reverse circulation drill chips is considered to be semi-quantitative given the nature of rock chip fragments and the inability to obtain detailed geological information. The drill hole was logged in full to the end of the hole.

Marymia Project

Samples submitted to Intertek Genalysis in Perth are assayed using a Fire Assay and mixed four acid digest.

The samples are digested and refluxed with a mixture of acids including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and Perchloric acids and analysis conducted for multi-elements including Au, Ag, Al, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, V, W, Zn.

This method approaches a total digest for many elements although some refractory minerals may not be completely attacked.

The quality of the analytical results is monitored through the use of internal laboratory procedures to ensure the results are representative and within acceptable ranges of accuracy and precision.

Nine standards (or Certified Reference Material) and five Control Blanks were used to check the accuracy of the assays returned from drill hole MMRC016. All fourteen control standards/blanks were within acceptable limits for accuracy and precision.

Sample numbers AUZ5559 and AUZ5560, which returned 29.110ppm Au and 14.848ppm Au respectively were re-assayed with the repeat assays returning 29.499ppm Au and 13.772ppm Au respectively.

the
geometry
of
the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there
should
be
a
clear
statement to this effect (e.g.
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Marymia Project
There is insufficient understanding of the bedrock
geology at present to determine the true
thickness of any reported drill intersections.
Any intersections included in the accompanying
report are down hole lengths. The true widths of
these intersections are not known.
Charteris Creek Project
No drilling undertaken.
Diagrams

Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
Marymia Project
Appropriate maps are included in the body of the
accompanying report.
Charteris Creek Project
An image depicts significant alteration styles in
petrological samples 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.
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

Charteris Creek Project

Nothing to report for this quarter.

Marymia Project

Australian Mines is currently awaiting the assay results from the remainder of Dixon drill hole MMRC016.

Once received and interpreted, Australian Mines will finalise its follow-up exploration program which may include further drilling (RC and/or diamond) as we surface and down hole geophysical surveys.

Charteris Creek Project

Finalising the interpretation of data gathered to date will lead to a more robust mineralisation model for the project area.
